By early autumn, the rice plants have turned a bewitching golden yellow, ready for the harvest. In wintertime, the lonely terraces fill with water, creating cascading rows of reflective infinity pools. Once spring comes, the terraces transform into anthills of activity, as the farmers plant a new crop.
Unique H’mong culture
Mu Cang Chai is mainly populated by H’mong people, a subgroup of Vietnam’s ethnicities. Pretty Hmong villages are dotted around the district. Each one offers a glimpse into a rich culture.

Hmong textile culture is highly developed, and you’ll find that many villagers – both men and women – still wear the traditional dress. Black Hmong men typically wear dark tunics and hats, while women wear longer tunics with arms and waistbands in bright colours.

Vietnam is a land of serene village life and breathtaking natural beauty. Its rainforest and highland areas are home to a variety of unusual fauna and are continually producing new species. Its cuisine is arguably the best you will ever find, and its islands and beaches rank among the best in all of Southeast Asia. Vietnam has done an amazing job of healing its scars in the more than two decades after it was formally united. This elegant and refined nation is a wonderful place to visit nowadays.
Vietnam is often portrayed in the media and in newspapers as a war-torn society with patchworks of verdant rice paddies, people wearing headgear shaped like lampshades, and economic tyranny. However, there are other settings that include bustling cities, picturesque seaside resorts, traditional villages that have stood the test of time, and diverse cultures and natural beauty mixed with imperial history.
