A national week of culture, sports and tourism was held in Mu Cang Chai mountainous district in the northern province of Yen Bai from September 12-20.
The event aims to honour the values of terraced paddy fields and Mong culture in Mu Cang Chai mountainous district
Various activities will take place during the week, including a music contest featuring the traditional bamboo instrument known as “khèn”, goat fighting, ecological and community tours, local cuisine offerings, sports events and sales of traditional costumes.
Mu Cang Chai has 500 hectares of rice terraces in La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha and De Xu Phinh communes. The local terraces are among the 2,500 hectares recognised as national heritage sites in 2007 by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
Mu Cang Chai is about 1,000 metres above sea level, making it impossible to grow rice fields as they are in the delta. Thus, local residents grow their own rice on terraced fields to prevent the water from flowing downhill.
These fields lay among rugged green mountain valleys under clear blue sky, bringing to eyes imposing scenery and serving as a big attraction to photographers and trekkers.
