Ha Giang is famous for its mountainous landscape and unique terraced fields. |
In mid-May the terraced fields in Ha Giang are still dry. |
At the end of May, farmers begin watering the fields and building up their edges to retain the water. |
Farmers maintain the water for 1-2 weeks before planting so the soil is very wet and will stay soft even in the harsh mountain weather. |
Most of the fields are now watered and ready for a new crop n the harsh mountain weather. |
Terraced fields adorn Ha Giang’s beauty. |
When the soil is sufficiently wet, farmers start ploughing. |
A plot has been planted early. |
Shining terraced fields in May in Ha Giang are an unforgettable sight. |
