Mu Cang Chai in Yen Bai province, Vietnam, hosts H'Mong and Thai communities. Its steep hills at 1000 meters above sea level make traditional rice farming impossible. Instead, locals ingeniously cultivate rice on terraced fields, creating a stunning sight amidst green mountain valleys. The harvest season, from September to early October, showcases a captivating transition of golden and green crops, drawing photographers and trekkers.
Here's a concise overview of the points of interest in Mu Cang Chai Tour from Hanoi 3 days:
We begin this day with a visit to the bustling Muong Lo Market, where various ethnic groups gather to sell a wide array of local products, including vegetables, spices, meat, poultry, fruits, as well as fabrics and other handmade goods.
Next, we set off to explore the renowned "Photographer's Route", offering breathtaking landscapes of terraced rice fields and encounters with local ethnic minorities such as the Dao, H'mong, and Thai communities.
