In July, when the rice fields in Bac Son valley in the northern province of Lang Son are changing their colour, it is the ideal time for travelers and photographers to arrive and record the beautiful annual changes.

Sunrise and sunset provide the best moments in the valley. In the picture is Bac Son town in the valley.

Travelers and photographers are advised to choose a high mountain peak to take photographs. Climbing to the peak, although hard work, they will have a chance to view the peaceful and prosperous valley, helping to release any tiredness.

Bac Son valley is situated 160 kilometres from Hanoi.

With rice planted at different times in Bac Son, people can experience different colours year round.

The rice is expected to become yellow by late July.
