Anyone who come to Mu Cang Chai in the northern mountainous province of Yen Bai will be surprised at the unique enchanting beauty made by the terraced fields on the sides of the mountains.

When the fields are full of water, farmers start to plough and plant rice for a new season. This is considered a good time for tourists to enjoy the poetic and romantic scenery.
