The beauty of terraced fields in the watery season is the allure of the northern mountainous region during May - June. Bat Xat upland district consists of Bat Xat Town and 20 communes in the northwest of Lao Cai including Y Ty, a famous tourist attraction, which is located at an altitude of 2000 meters.

Nam Tron said he had explored almost all of the terraced fields in Bat Xat District. He had the chance to admire terraced fields in different weather patterns from sunny, to misty, to rainy.

Terraced fields in Den Thang are blanketed in green which are as spectacular as ones in Sa Pa (Lao Cai), Hoang Su Phi (Ha Giang) or Mu Cang Chai (Yen Bai).

Bat Xat District is home to 3000 hectares of terraced fields, with 70% of mountains. Streams of Ngoi Phat, Lung Po and Quang Kim not only play an important role in agricultural production but they are also famous tourist sites.
