Description
Ascending steep mountain roads on motorcycle taxis in the pre-dawn darkness, we reached the enchanting peaks of what locals call 'Raspberry Hill' in Mu Cang Chai, Vietnam. Here, under the first light, we marvelled at the breathtaking terraced rice fields, especially captivating in late September when the rice ripens. Nestled in Han Chong village, La Pan Tan commune, these hills, whimsically named for their rounded terraces that might remind one of raspberries, attract tourists from around the world to the beauty of Mu Cang Chai. We were fortunate to enjoy the solitude until the sun climbed high, signalling it was time to pack up my gear.
