If anyone asks what season Fansipan and Sa Pa are most beautiful, perhaps the answer for travel enthusiasts will definitely be rice season. And it hasn't been since the terraced fields turned yellow that Sa Pa became famous on travel forums.
The beauty of Sa Pa's rice season starts from when the seedlings begin to turn green, until they turn apricot yellow and then bright yellow, waiting for the harvest season. Every moment of rice on those high mountain slopes stretching to the horizon makes people coming to the Northwest highlands fascinated.
Looking down from above, each field weaves beautiful curves on that enchanting green carpet. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, that cool green color creates breathtakingly beautiful "stairs to heaven".
To see Sa Pa in the green rice season, there is nothing better than choosing a cruise through those picturesque rice valleys by Fansipan cable car. From above, the picture of Muong Hoa valley is woven with soft green silk strips mixed with the peaceful colors of the Northwest villages, as beautiful as a poem. A small house surrounded by terraced fields stretching all the way to the hillside.
To see green rice at the closest coordinates, tourists like to choose to stay at homestays, or go to cafes with "million dollar views" like this. At that time, people can touch that lush green color, inhale the scent of young rice, sip a cup of coffee and enjoy Sa Pa as beautiful as a muse in the morning dew.
Many cafes and homestays also know how to catch the trend of entertaining customers, creating very chill check-in corners in rice fields so that young people can unleash their creativity.
Hoang Linh, a 22-year-old girl from Hanoi, shared that her photo series in Muong Hoa valley received countless compliments on social networks: "Many people asked if I was traveling to Switzerland." Are not. But in fact, there is no need to travel far and expensive, from Hanoi to Sa Pa only takes a few hours, and the beauty is no less beautiful than Europe. Foreign tourists coming to Sa Pa this season also constantly praise the scenery of their country of Vietnam."
Souls in need of "healing" also come to Sa Pa. Mr. Minh Anh, head of investment consulting at a financial company, confided: "I went to Sa Pa to escape the harsh sun, traffic chaos and work pressure. I love the fresh air and the rustic, peaceful beauty of this land."
America's leading travel magazine Travel + Leisure ranks Sa Pa terraced fields as one of the most beautiful terraced rice wonders in the world. And when seeing with their own eyes this natural painting painted in rice-green colors, people understand that all the beautiful words for this wonder cannot fully describe its magnificent beauty.
