Breathtaking terrace fields of Vietnam’s north-west frontier

Bat Xat District’s beautiful terraced fields in Lao Cai Province have become famous over the recent years, and provide a stunning view, particularly when the rice ripens. The fields can be found in most of the local communes, but the most impressive are located in Y Ty, A Lu, Khu Chu Lin, Ngai Thau and A Mu Sung. Photographers have captured a wealth of beautiful landscape images.
