The golden season has spread throughout the villages of Sapa

The terraced fields in Sapa usually come to the ripe rice season about 2 weeks earlier than in Ha Giang, Hoang Su Phi and Mu Cang Chai. Therefore, when autumn just knocks on the door, it is also the time when the golden season begins to come to Sapa.   Autumn days are always a memorable time for all visitors. The air is cool during the day and chilly in the early morning and late afternoon. The valleys are filled with the aroma of fragrant new rice. The iridescent yellow color of the sunshine and rice creates beautiful patches of color. From the cable car gliding through Muong Hoa Valley, visitors can witness the endless green of the rice fields, intertwined with soft and winding steps like silk strips. This spectacular sight was created by Mother Nature, more beautiful than any of the painter's strokes. Photo: Golf Beard/VnE   The land of Sapa is too familiar to travel lovers. In this beautiful place in all four seasons, winding along the majestic Hoang Lien Son Range, the ghostly forests are green valleys, villages hidden in fog and fog. Summer passes, autumn comes. The green color of rice turns bright yellow.   About 12km northeast of Sa Pa town, Ta Phin village still retains its rustic wild beauty. Coming here, visitors not only immerse themselves in endless nature, but also touch the simple daily life of the H'Mong people here.    The beauty of Ta Phin must be mentioned the eye-catching terraced fields that hug the foot of the Hoang Lien Son Range like a silk strip. The purple mountains are hidden in the pure white mist, dotted here and there with a few stilt roofs and leaves among the green corn fields. All create a sense of peace, helping you get rid of the chaos of daily life. The green and yellow patches of August rice create a beautiful picture for Ta Phin. Photo: Golf Beard/VnE   Lao Chai – Ta Van village is located about 7km from the center of Sapa town, where the Muong Hoa stream calmly winds around the green fields at the foot of Hoang Lien Son, the residence of the Hmong, Dao Do and Giay ethnic groups. Lao Chai – Ta Van is one of the lands that owns the vast and most beautiful terraced fields in Muong Hoa valley.    Passing Ta Van - Lao Chai about 7km, Y Linh Ho village with typical cultural features cannot be confused. However, the village is located quite far from the main road, you have to take a relatively winding and zigzag road to compensate for the difficult distance is an extremely quiet and rustic space. The village is nestled in endless terraced fields, surrounded by thousands of green Hoang Lien Mountains. A place where visitors seem to be immersed in the harmony of nature's colors with the idyllic life of people.  Photo: Fb Tran Giap   To experience this Sapa tourist village, the best thing is to walk. Freely walk and explore the trails around the village, walk among the vast aroma of rice, touch the golden season of this place. Take it easy, enjoy a cup of coffee in this interesting place.   Sin Chai village is located right at the foot of Hoang Lien Son, completely surrounded by mountains with terraced fields that are also hundreds of years old. This place is the home of the Black Hmong people in Sa Pa. If Cat Cat is bustling all year round with the footsteps of tourists, Sin Chai is quiet and peaceful, like a hiding place for those who want to find a quiet wild Sapa.    Giang Ta Chai is located peacefully with its wild beauty nestled in the mountains and forests of the Northwest. Preserving the typical culture of the indigenous minority, Sa Pa Giang Ta Chai tourist village attracts tourists with all its peace and tenderness.  Photo: Shutterstock   Ta Giang Phong is the homeland of the Dao and H'Mong people. From O Quy Ho junction, tourists turn down the provincial road 155 paved with winding asphalt through primeval forests with white clouds floating and mountainous fruits sold along the way to enter Giang Ta Phan. Attracting tourists to Ta Giang Phan are also the picturesque rice terraces - once published by Travel & Leisure magazine (of USA) voted as one of the 7 most magnificent rice terraces in Asia and the world.    And certainly on your journey to discover the golden season of Sapa, you should come to Nam Cang. From Sapa town, drive towards Hoang Lien Son National Park for about 30 km to Nam Cang. Along the way to the commune, you will encounter streams, forest flaps and terraced fields. Photo: Lam Linh/VnE   The golden season in Sapa, everywhere is iridescent in the beautiful colors of autumn. Come to Sapa, walk in the middle of the golden sea, discover the culture of the indigenous ethnic minority and welcome an autumn to the Northwest heaven and earth. Synthetic Migo
