II - Top 3 terraced rice fields in Vietnam
The rice terraces are usually located in mountainous areas because of the steep slopes and divided terrains. The locals have to make use of low hills with large spaces to build terraced fields. Based on a special ladder structure, the high and low steps connect from top to bottom according to the hilly terrain, allowing water to flow automatically from the top to the lower step.
The terraced rice fields in Vietnam are famous places to visit. From the top of the hills, you have panoramic views of the soft meandering fields like silk strips. During the water-pouring season or the harvest season, you not only admire the "agricultural wonder" but also have the opportunity to experience the working life of the upland people.
