Exploring the Beauty of Lao Cai: A Journey through Vietnam’s Harvest Season

In the heart of Vietnam, a section of the DT 156 route connecting Lao Cai City to Y Ty Commune has become a social media sensation thanks to its breathtaking views amid terraced rice fields. Nestled in A Lu Commune, Bat Xat District, this particular curve offers a dream-like setting, especially during the golden harvest season.

Hoang Van Huy, a travel enthusiast from Hanoi working in the tourism industry, recently uncovered this hidden gem during a visit to Y Ty. Captivated by the area’s natural allure, Huy used a drone to capture stunning aerial shots that quickly captivated the public.

With the rice fields adorning a brilliant golden hue, Huy marveled at the refreshing coolness of the air and the timeless beauty of the landscape. Standing just 7 kilometers from Y Ty, this scenic route boasts numerous picturesque spots, including the beloved “sunset tree” frequently captured by photographers.

As locals mentioned the approaching peak of the golden season by the end of August, Huy was struck by the potential of this location to become a new favorite for travelers seeking a unique Northwest experience to rival renowned spots like Nam Cang (Sa Pa) or Muong Hum (Bat Xat) in Lao Cai.

With the September 2nd holiday approaching, visitors have the chance to discover Y Ty and witness the splendor of this curve, where terraced fields shimmer in golden hues.

To access this scenic spot along the DT 156 road, travelers can embark from Sa Pa Town, passing through Ban Xeo, Muong Hum, and finally A Lu Commune. Another route originating from Lao Cai City through Kim Thanh, Trinh Tuong, Lung Po, and A Lu Commune also leads to this enchanting curve, with both paths spanning approximately 90 kilometers.

The months of August and September bring the rice fields in Bat Xat District to their peak, transforming the land into a vibrant canvas of yellow that draws numerous visitors. While Y Ty is famous for its “cloud hunting” allure, this season allows tourists to bask in the beauty of the rice fields while embracing the area’s crisp and pleasant ambiance.

Nevertheless, considering the rainy season in the mountains during this period, travelers should remain vigilant of potential landslides and flooding. Monitoring weather forecasts is advisable to ensure a safe journey to this and other tourist spots.

As Lao Cai and the Northwest region witness a surge in popularity during the rice harvest season, particularly on weekends, travelers are encouraged to secure accommodations early or enlist local guides for a smoother and better-organized trip.
