    Unlike the bustling atmosphere in the center of Sa Pa, this place brings a feeling of relaxation and closeness to nature. In particular, the green rice season is the time when Ta Van is full of the vitality of the lush green color. Stripes of rice stretch across the hillside, along the valley and surrounding the villages, creating a vibrant natural picture. Photo: Andy Trung

    According to the interpretation in Mong language, "Ta Van" means "large arc". This name is said to originate from the typical terrain of the village, when the back leans against the Hoang Lien Son range, and the front is facing the poetic Muong Hoa stream. Photo: Andy Trung

    Ta Van is home to many ethnic minorities such as Dao, H'Mong, Giay..., so the village still preserves many unique traditional cultural features over time. Terraced fields are not only the fruit of the hard work of local people but also become a special highlight of Ta Van tourism. Faded wooden houses over time, winding small roads and the Muong Hoa stream winding through the valley contribute to creating the unique beauty of the highlands. Photo: Andy Trung

    Tourists coming to Ta Van this season can leisurely walk on small roads, admire the green rice paddies winding along the hillside and enjoy the fresh air. Cafes with terraced field views are also popular stops. Photo: Andy Trung

    Photographer Andy Trung said that Ta Van in the green rice season has a pure beauty with peaceful valleys, trees and rice fields covered in cool green color. Although not yet in the ripe rice season, the scenery here still has a very unique attraction. According to him, this is a suitable time for tourists to enjoy the gentle and peaceful beauty of Sa Pa.

    In August, the fields still retain their fresh green color. From the end of August to September, the rice gradually turns yellow, turning the hillsides into a brilliant picture. This is also the time chosen by many tourists to admire the golden season beauty of Ta Van. Photo: Andy Trung
