(HBO) – Leaving urban vibrancy behind, visitors to Tu Ly commune of Da Bac district
will have a chance to enjoy the harvest season landscape here which is as beautiful as
a picture. A highlight of this countryside picture is the joyfulness seen in the bright
smiles of local farmers who are engrossed in harvesting their bumper crops.
Farmers are busy with plucking rice off the ears on a machine. The noise of
the machine, the boisterous laughter and talk of farmers, and the light
fragrance and yellow of rice straw blown into the air grasp visitors’ attention
once setting foot here.
Fields in Tu Ly are covered with the yellow of ripe paddy, helping enrich the
countryside beauty.
The yellow ripe paddy ears are the fruits of hard work by Tu Ly residents in

in the sunlight, making this painting even more vivid and attractive.
The afternoon passes by and the sunlight fades away, but farmers are still
busy with handling the harvested rice.
