Mu Cang Chai is like a "gem" in a remote place, attracting many people with its terraced fields and beautiful natural scenery.
CNBC describes: Mu Cang Chai is nestled deep in the valleys formed by the Red River, and is dotted with colorful mountain villages surrounded by towering terraced fields. The terraced fields cover the rugged mountains in an emerald green carpet that seems to reach the heavens.
Centuries ago, the ancestors of the ethnic groups in the northern highlands of Vietnam created a system of terraced fields for farming and making a living.
The terraced fields in Mu Cang Chai district are fields located along the mountain slopes, one layer overlapping the other with a total area of up to about 2,200 hectares. In 2007, 500 hectares of terraced fields in the three communes of La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha, and De Xu Phinh were ranked as National Monuments. Recently, Mu Cang Chai was also ranked by the Government as one of the seven Special National Monuments.
Located at the foot of Hoang Lien Son mountain range at an altitude of over 1,000 meters above sea level, Mu Cang Chai offers visitors wonderful experiences when they can take in the vastness of the brilliant wilderness. It is estimated that Mu Cang Chai welcomed 90,000 visitors in 2018, many times more than the 20,000 visitors in 2015. The local government is also promoting and preserving the unique cultural features of Mu Cang Chai, promoting eco-tourism, discovery tourism combined with raising awareness of environmental protection.
