Summer is the season of ripening rice. Travel to Vietnam this time, tourists can enjoy the beauty of fields where the rice is almost ripe in many places in Vietnam. Especially in Mu Cang Chai - the home of terraced fields, tourists who travel to here will have chance to admire this wonderful scenery of ripening rice.

Followings are some beauty photos of Mu Cang Chai in the time of ripen rice:

La Pan Tan – a mountain village of H’mong, around 15 kilometres from Mu Cang Chai. Before 1996, this village was the land of poppies. All families planted poppy. All people were poppy addicts. The local government had to implement a special policy to gradually rub out poppies.

In the first year, each old person was allowed to keep 100sq.m of poppy field. The area of poppy for each old person was reduced in the second year, and poppy was banned completely in the third year.

At present, rice has replaced poppy in this land.

Local H’mong people now have a better life. La Pan Tan has been recognised as a national landscape in 2007.
