To reach the A Lu rice fields, home to the most beautiful rice paddies in Y Ty, we had to navigate steep slopes strewn with rocks and gravel. But it was well worth the effort. After moments of intense driving and extreme concentration, the terraced rice paddies, ripening to the horizon, stretched before us. The glorious setting sun added to the splendor of the ripening rice stalks. Just a month ago, green was the dominant color everywhere, but now, many new shades of color have appeared, making Y Ty much more vibrant.
