May and September are the two optimal times to capture the beauty of Mu Cang Chai rice terraces.
May is the ‘water season,’ with abundant rainfall setting the stage for the new rice crop. Local farmers flock to the fields for various farm works, while at sunrise and sunset, the water reflects the sky, creating a stunning mirror effect. September is the rice harvest time when the rice terraces of Mu Cang Chai turn into gigantic golden lines along hillsides, valleys, and river banks. This is the perfect time for landscape and people photography, with farmers harvesting their crops in the fields.
This time, Our Vietnam photography tour takes you to Mu Cang Chai during the harvest time, in September, providing an unparalleled opportunity for photography enthusiasts. Join us, as the photos you gather will surely be breathtaking!
