Rice Terraces at Ta Giang Phinh
Ta Giang Phinh is set amidst a quiet part of Sapa, offering a tranquil retreat set against the beautiful backdrop formed by the Ngu Chi Son mountain range. The serene location is just right for those seeking the peaceful and immersive experience that Sapa Slow Tours has become famous for. Of course, the rice terraces here are outstanding icons of nature’s beauty and humankind’s ingenuity.
Ta Giang Phinh rice fields are much more than beautiful; they are farming traditions passed down by the Hmong and the Red Dzao, which have existed for centuries. These rice terraces are the perfect reflections of a symbiotic relationship existing between humans and nature: to get arable pieces of land through sustainable farming methods on steep mountainsides. This is an exceptional kind of agriculture; it’s one of the lifelines for the local communities and, at the same time, proof of their deep regard towards land.
The most exciting thing when paying a visit to Ta Giang Phinh is to witness how it changes its landscapes with the seasons: rich green colorful rice terraces in spring and summer signal thriving and growth; golden fields of ripe rice make up a heavenly landscape of shiny terraces on top of the Ngu Chi Son peaks in autumn. Each season of Sapa Slow Tours is different and unrepeatable!
