Green terraced fields in Thanh Hoa border district

Amidst the vast mountains and forests turning yellow and red in the changing leaves season, the lush green terraced fields along the rivers and streams add to the majestic beauty of the border district of Muong Lat ( Thanh Hoa ).

In March, the weather in the border district of Muong Lat, Thanh Hoa province is still dry, the forest trees are in the season of changing leaves. It has been many months without rain, causing the changing leaves of the forests to become red and bare.

However, in the midst of that scene, there are still green rice fields that adorn the majestic, immense beauty of the Muong Lat mountains and forests. These are terraced fields of the people along the streams and rivers, the rice is in the stage of tillering and growing.

The terraced fields in Chieng Cong are one of the large fields in Muong Lat, located right behind the rows of houses along provincial road 520.

This is the time when rice begins to take root and branch out, so people go to the fields to weed, fertilize, and take care of the rice.

Due to the unfavorable terrain, the terraced fields that can be cultivated are very industrious and carefully cared for by the people right from when the rice is first planted.

Because of the high mountainous area and harsh weather, terraced fields mostly depend on natural water flowing down from the mountains.
