About us

Located approximately 300 kilometers northwest of Hanoi, Mu Cang Chai boasts one of Vietnam’s most breathtaking landscapes of rice-terraced fields. Perched at an altitude of around 1000 meters above sea level, this region boasts a unique topography featuring steep hills and deep valleys that have served as the canvas for the masterful terraced fields created by local residents such as the Hmong, Thai, and Dao. Spanning over 500 hectares of land in La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha, and De Xu Phinh communes, these rice terraces have been cultivated for centuries, earning recognition as national heritage sites in 2007 for their stunning landscape.

The fields are truly a sight to behold during the rice season, which runs from June to the end of September/beginning of October when they look their best. During the planting season, the fields are alive with activity as the locals begin the laborious process of planting new rice seedlings. By the time the harvest season rolls around, the fields have been transformed into a stunning patchwork of yellow ready crops and white water channels intermixed with vibrant green seedling rice. This picturesque landscape is a huge attraction for photographers and trekkers alike.
