Farmers work on picturesque fields in Mu Cang Chai during the flooding season.

Mu Cang Chai - a distant name is now considered by urban people as a place to visit following the "healing" movement. Coming to the land of terraced fields is beautiful in any season, but seeing the terraced fields in the pouring water season can fully appreciate the beauty that heaven and earth have bestowed upon this land.

Terraced fields in the flooding season are as beautiful as ink paintings.

Nam Khat Commune - a settlement for many generations of Mong people, located at the foot of Khau Pha Pass. For many generations, Mong people have worked hard to break mountains, bring water into the fields, creating picturesque terraced fields. Each generation has worked hard to build up the fields and villages.

The rainy season is also the time when Mong people are busy with farming work. Unlike production in the lowlands, where machines have replaced humans in basically every step, in this highland commune, people still have to use human power to do everything. That is why when the planting season comes, the whole Mong village is bustling like a festival. They produce with the mindset of children of the mountains and forests. Harvest day is the beginning of a year of warmth and prosperity.

Rice production on terraced fields is full of hardship for the Mong people. Working hard, sweating, and crying, the Mong people produce rice and potatoes. They are the children of the mountains, working silently and persistently to create the breathtakingly beautiful terraced fields.
