Northwestern terraced fields in the season of pouring water
Every year, at the end of May and the beginning of June, when the first rains of the season appear, the Mong ethnic people in the highland district of Bac Yen (northwestern province of Son La) enter the planting season. Seen from above, the terraced fields stretching across the mountain slopes look like silk ribbons, creating a charming landscape painting. Photo: Quang Quyet - VNA
