If anyone asks Fansipan, Sa Pa is most beautiful in which season, perhaps the answer for travel enthusiasts will definitely be the rice season. And it is not since the terraced fields turn yellow that Sa Pa has become famous on travel forums.

The beauty of Sa Pa rice season begins when the rice seedlings start to turn green, then turn apricot yellow, then bright yellow, waiting for the harvest season. Every moment of rice on the high mountains stretching to the horizon fascinates those who come to the Northwest highlands.

Each rice field weaves beautiful curves on that enchanting green carpet.

To see Sa Pa in the green rice season, there is nothing better than choosing a journey across those picturesque rice valleys by Fansipan cable car. From above, the picture of Muong Hoa valley is woven with soft green silk strips mixed with the peaceful colors of the Northwestern villages, beautiful as a poem. A small house is surrounded by terraced fields stretching to the hillsides.

The green color of the rice is gradually turning yellow. Only at the end of August and into September, Sa Pa will put on a new, charming golden coat of the ripe rice season.

To see the green rice fields at the closest coordinates, tourists like to stay at homestays, or go to cafes with a “million dollar view” like this. At that time, people can touch the eye-catching green color, inhale the aroma of young rice fields, sip a cup of coffee and enjoy Sa Pa as beautiful as a muse in the morning mist.

Many coffee shops or homestays also know how to catch the trend to please customers, when creating very chill check-in corners next to the rice fields so that young people can freely create.

Hoang Linh, a 22-year-old girl from Hanoi, shared that her photo series in Muong Hoa Valley has received countless compliments on social networks: “Many people asked if I was traveling to Switzerland. But in fact, there is no need to travel far and expensively, from Hanoi to Sa Pa only takes a few hours, and the scenery is as beautiful as in Europe. Foreign tourists coming to Sa Pa this season also constantly praise the scenery of our country Vietnam.”
