The golden hue of rice paddies in the highlands.

Every autumn, the terraced rice fields of the ethnic minority communities in the Northwest highlands come alive with the arrival of a new season, the season of ripening rice. These masterpieces of cultural heritage weave together golden harvests in the highlands.

Author Hoang Bich Nhung, with her photo series "Waves of Rice Fields in the Highlands," gives viewers a glimpse of a golden rice harvest season on the terraced fields of the Northwest region. The series was submitted to the "Happy Vietnam" photo and video contest, organized by the Ministry of Information and Communications .

Although there's only one harvest a year, the rice season in the highlands of the northern provinces always holds a special attraction for tourists. Tu Le ( Yen Bai ), Bat Xat (Lao Cai)... are always "must-visit" destinations with their lush green terraced rice fields that captivate the hearts of visitors.

All these terraced rice fields will be covered in a golden hue, signaling a bountiful rice harvest for the people of the mountainous region. This is also the time when adventurous young people embark on trips, traveling hundreds of kilometers to the Northwest region to witness firsthand the "golden waves" cascading down from the mountaintops.
