Vietnam Top Destination: Moc Chau rice paddy fields glitters in watery season
In late May or early June, when the terraced rice fields in Moc Chau, northwest Vietnam, filled with water, the whole mountainous area is adorned with exceptionally alluring beauty.
Every year, when the summer rains pour down, bringing along a cool, refreshing air to the mountains, ethnic farmers in Moc Chau happily start to transplant rice seedlings on the fields, preparing for a new crop.

Every year when June draws near, local farmers would pour water into the fields to prepare for the new planting season after a long time leaving the soil untouched. Mountainous farmers only have one crop per year, therefore, thorough preparation in advance is very important.
