Let’s take a look at the breath-taking golden terraced rice fields in the Mu Cang Chai district of Yen Bai province in the run up to the paragliding festival, "Flying in the yellow season”, which is set to swoop into the district from September 21 to 23.
The festival is part of a series of activities taking place in the
Mu Cang Chai terraced rice fields.
Mu Cang Chai is nestled at the bottom of the Hoang Lien Son
Mountain Range at 1000m altitude.
Yen Bai people call Mu Cang Chai "Khau Pha sea of
clouds" because to reach Mu Cang Chai, visitors must go through the Khau
Pha Pass at 2100m high, one of the steepest and twistiest passes in Vietnam.

magnificent terraced rice fields – the most beautiful of its kind in Vietnam –
