See the most beautiful terraced fields in the World
Terraced fields are typical of ethnic people living in the northern mountains of Vietnam. These rolling terraces are the perfect products of locals’ creation, which are used to make growing rice more effective thanks to their steep standing which, in turn with granite erosion, has yielded fertile soil and the perfect conditions for produce growth.
The terraces also offer something different with a glowing gold colour emanating from the ripe rice crops in the autumn, a rich green flowing out in the summer months and a deep red filling the fields through the winter. So every moment in a year will just be perfect for a fantastic Sapa tour in Vietnam.
