Itinerary:
Terraced fields are a form of cultivation on sloping land of many people in the world. Due to the scarcity of upland mountains for cultivation, people choose the slopes of the ridge to form terraces. And then drain water from the high mountains to form terraced fields for rice cultivation.
When travelling to Ha Giang, no one can ignore the beautiful beauty of terraced fields in Hoang Su Phi. The array of colours lying on the precarious mountain ranges, gently hugging the undulating rock slope like enchanting smooth lines.
