Top 5 places to discover the beautiful golden season in Hoang Su Phi

Translated by Bing
The most ideal places for you to see ripe rice are in Ban Luoc, Thong Nguyen or Ban Phung. In Ho Tau or Nam Thi, the scenery is also extremely excellent.

Hoang Su Phi is also in Ha Giang province, but is located in the west, completely opposite to the route to explore the rocky plateau (Dong Van – Meo Vac). If you are coming from Hanoi, you will not be able to go directly to Ha Giang city but stop in Bac Quang district to move to Hoang Su Phi.

Ban Phung Rice Terraces


Ban Phung is located about 30km from the center of Vinh Quang town, this commune is located near the Chinese border. The terraced fields here are located on a steep mountainside, which looks very impressive. This place is known for the highest rice terraces in Vietnam.


Ban Phung commune has over 120 hectares of terraced fields, stretching widely and the most beautiful compared to the rest of the communes. The clouds in Ban Phung are not dense, only wandering across the mountain, appearing at a glance. Visitors will be able to see with their own eyes the clouds of smoke spreading, the whole village seems to be floating. The small roofs between the fields are mixed with all colors, creating a sense of peace for those who come here.

Ho Tau commune is located about 16km from the junction of Nam Dich 3, is the land inhabited by the Red Dao people. Ho Tau is the main habitat of the Red Dao ethnic group, the terraced fields here are quite special, each section will be left a clear forest to keep the land from landslides. The terraced fields in Ho Tau Lake are soaring and vast. Ho Tau in the local language also means Watershed because this place is the source of small streams of the upper reaches of the Chay and Bac rivers.

Thong Nguyen Rice Terraces



It is the convergence of 3 streams including Phin Ho, Nam Ong and Nam Khoa. Tong Yuan was peaceful in the middle of the mountain. This is known as the most beautiful place to see the terraced fields in Hoang Su Phi.


In the golden rice season of Hoang Su Phi terraced fields, there is only one harvest per year, so to see the ripe fields, you must choose the right time to travel. The most suitable time for Thong Nguyen rice terraces is from September to October when the rice turns yellow.

Ban Luoc Rice Terraces - Lemongrass Products


Ban Luoc and San Sa Ho communes have mountainous terrain and moderate slopes, so there are many terraced fields. Here, everywhere there are terraced fields in the shape of waves and bows. The terraced fields here belong to the Ao Dai Dao people and the Nung people.


Most of the people here are ethnic minorities, rarely speak Kinh, so communication is not convenient. Visitors have to go through many zigzag slopes and dangerous bends to get here. Therefore, people often say to each other: "First Su Phi, second Bac Me".
