Mu Cang Chai Rice Terrace Fields

From afar the rice terrace fields of Mu Cang Chai appear like a staircase draped in green velvet. These rice terrace fields in northeastern Vietnam's Yen Bai Province are home to the H'mong people, who work these functional terraces and live in villages scattered across the countryside. Thousands of acres of rice fields line hillsides and valleys, providing sustenance for Vietnam and a breathtaking visual experience for visitors. A popular way to tour this area is on motorbike, visiting small villages and touring the rice fields.
