Mu Cang Chai Terraced Fields
Mu Cang Chai Terraced Fields are extensive rice terraces in Mu Cang Chai District, Lao Cai Province, northwestern Vietnam, about 280 km from Hanoi. Created over centuries by the H'Mong people on steep mountain slopes, the fields cover around 500 hectares across La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha and De Xu Phinh communes. Designated a National Heritage Site in 2007, they are noted for their layered landscape, seasonal color changes and traditional agricultural system.
