Mu
Cang Chai is a rural district of Yen Bai province, in the northeastern region
of Vietnam, which is 300 kilometres from Hanoi. Over the past few years, Mu
Cang Chai has become a popular destination for tourists, researchers and
photographers.
Mu
Cang Chai owns 700 hectares of terraced rice fields, with 70 percent at three
communes: La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha, De Su Phinh. This traditional cultural
heritage of an ethnic minority was recognised as a national landscape by the
Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism for Vietnam travel.
Located
in a temperate zone, the average temperature all-year round is 18.5 Celsius
degrees so when the sunset comes, the district is blanked in mist and makes
tourists feel they are in late winter of the lowland.
Best
time to visit here from September to October
The
center of Mu Cang Chai District lies in a valley expanding over seven
kilometers. September and October is suggested as the most ideal time to visit
Mu Cang Chai as everywhere, from magnificent mountains or beautiful terraced
rice fields are bathed in glistening rays.
In
addition to terraced fields, Mu Cang Chai was blessed with naturally beautiful
flora and fauna and outstanding geographic features, including vast mountain
ranges with high peaks which have protected the people for an age.
