In September, when the cool autumn winds gently blow through the mountain slopes, Thong Nguyen commune (Hoang Su Phi district, old Ha Giang province, now part of Tuyen Quang province) bustles into the golden season.
From above, the terraced fields look like steps leading to the sky, stretching to the horizon.
In the gentle autumn sunshine, the yellow color of ripe rice blends with the deep green of the forest, the stream meandering through the village and the cheerful laughter of the people, creating a wonderful picture, both majestic and poetic.
Thong Nguyen terraced fields are the crystallization of many generations of labor and ingenuity of the ethnic people here. With their diligent hands, people have transformed steep mountain slopes into unique “steps” for growing rice, both preventing soil erosion and creating a rare landscape.
In the rice harvest season, the whole region is covered with a golden coat, like a vivid picture woven by nature and humans.
