"Stairway To Heaven"

2 Comments

Located primarily in the mountain areas in the North of Vietnam, the terraced rice fields are called the “Stairway to Heaven” by many people. These are the result of really amazing work over a hundred years by local hill tribes, mostly the H’mong people. Every year, between September and October, the terraced rice fields put on a show of picturesque harvest colours. The curving terraces, although man-made, appear to be in complete harmony with the landscape, creating a hypnotic patterning across the hills and valleys.

Different from rice cultivation on the plain, the Vietnam terraced rice fields can be cultivated with only one crop per year, normally from June to October. Starting in September, the fields start changing colour from green to yellow in preparation for the new harvest.

The man-made terraces are carved into the mountains, with rice fields stacked in increasing gradients to create fluid lines.

Established as a hill station by the French in 1922, Sapa today is the tourism centre of the northwest. Sapa is oriented to make the most of the spectacular views emerging on clear days; it overlooks a plunging valley, with mountains towering above on all sides. Views of this epic scenery are often subdued by thick mist rolling across the peaks.

I also love nature and that climate. I am willing to sit at that place with my close person and start the old talks with a cup of coffee.
