The terraced fields in Mu Cang Chai District, nestled in the northern mountainous province of Yen Bai, have transformed into a breathtaking vista as they enter the harvest season since early October.

Mu Cang Chai District is around 300 kilometres from Hanoi, and it is a familiar destination for tourists who love exploring and enjoying the scenic beauty of the mountains and forests.

Mu Cang Chai is most beautiful in Autumn when its terraced fields on the hillsides and valleys are coated in golden-ripe rice.

In 2019, the district’s terraced fields were recognised as a Special National Heritage Site.

Mu Cang Chai offers captivating check-in spots for visitors. Thuy Hien from the northern province of Quang Ninh was impressed by its mesmerising beauty.

Despite the challenges, the locals have begun the rice harvest, a testament to their resilience. The rice ripening season in Mu Cang Chai will conclude in just a few days.

Mam Xoi Hill, located eight kilometres from the district centre, is a popular tourist destination.

According to travel agents, many tours to Mu Cang Chai have been cancelled or delayed due to the impact of Typhoon Yagi.

Some homestays in Mu Cang Chai have reported a significant drop of up to 60 percent in visitors, despite it being the peak tourist season. While many local roads and tourist sites were not severely affected by the floods, tourists remain understandably cautious about the potential risks of landslides.
