"Drawing" of Muong Khuong in the clouds in the ripe rice season

In the middle of August, Muong Khuong town (Muong Khuong district) seems to be dyed yellow when the rice fields are ripe for harvest.

Located in the northeast of Lao Cai province, Muong Khuong valley is surrounded by majestic and enormous limestone mountains and vast rice fields, creating charming and beautiful natural scene that attracts people's hearts.

From the top of De Chu Thang mountain, which is the familiar stop for photographers, visitors to enjoy watching the overview of the valley.

Not noisy and bustling like many other lands, Muong Khuong has peaceful and tranquil beauty in itself; imbued with cultural identity of ethnic groups that cannot be found in anywhere else.

In the early morning, Muong Khuong town is as beautiful as a watercolor painting
Dew and clouds cover a thin layer of curtain, the light of the morning sun shines obliquely to create magic and romance.
Standing from above, looking down, the scenery is like a colorful painting 
This place is praised as beautiful valley with mountains and golden rice fields
Muong Khuong valley has flat and large terrain; the canals winding through the rice fields in the harvest season create dreamy beauty.
This season is the most beautiful season when the mountains of Muong Khuong town are blurred in the clouds, creating a scenery as beautiful as of Sa Pa, Y Ty.
