Exploring Terraced Fields in Xin Man district - Ha Giang

Hi Hivers in the Wednesday Walk community,
It's Wednesday again, today I would like to walk you around a small mountain town. It is Xin Man district, located in the northeast of Ha Giang province, the northernmost province of Vietnam. With the terrain is mainly rugged high mountains, this is the living area of ethnic minorities such as Hmong, Tay, Thai, Nung,... Currently, it is the ripe rice season in the northern provinces of Vietnam, and especially, here the local people mainly grow rice on terraced fields. So this is the right time to come and admire the beauty of the majestic terraces here. Below are the photos I took of Coc Pai town, Xi Man district from above.

A first feature that I would like to introduce to you is the small houses located on the high mountains. Because of the rugged mountainous terrain, locals build small houses on the mountains. Their houses are mainly made of wood or soil. These can be houses located separately on high mountains or located in groups. Looking at those houses, I really admire the will of the people here. They must have worked very hard to build those houses. Not to mention the way to those houses is very difficult and dangerous. I can't imagine how difficult their life is, but I'm sure they are very energetic and hardworking people. Have you ever thought what your life would be like if you lived in those houses?

Along the way, I also came across interesting things. People here are still quite shy when they see me. Maybe because they rarely met strangers before. They lead a simple life. They make their living mainly by farming and raising livestock. They grow rice and short-term crops such as corn, cassava, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc. They raise buffaloes, cows, pigs, goats, chickens and ducks. They are generally capable of creating a self-sufficient life. Hard life has made them hard working and honest people. Looking at the innocent faces of the children, I was reminded of my childhood when I was living in the highlands of Vietnam.

And the main part I would like to show to you today is the majestic terraced fields in Xin Man district. Also because the terrain is mainly hilly, the locals had no choice but to grow rice on terraced fields. The terraces help to retain water and soil for the growth of rice plants. Looking at these majestic terraces, you probably know that the farmers here have put a lot of effort into creating these terraces. Not to mention they only use rudimentary tools such as hoes, shovels, plowshares. Standing from the mountainside and looking down at the valleys and rice terraces in the opposite mountains, I was truly overwhelmed by their beauty. Actually the real scenery is much more beautiful because my lens was not able to capture the immensity and majesty of the mountains and terraces there. There, the mountains and terraces seem to stretch on endlessly. Admire the beauty of the terraced fields in Xin Man district in the photos below. I hope you like them too.

Life in a countryside is surely hard but if you get used living a simple life, it's the best. I also grow up in such a place like in your photos. It's a nice place and tranquil but there's a disadvantage of lacking of facilities like school, health centers, markets, and hospitals. They aren't easy to access and kinda hard if you're having an emergency.

I totally agree with you.
I often travel around and I like to explore these kinds of places like this. I can learn a lot from the simple life of the people there.

Your pictures are amazing!! The small houses called my attention and I also thought about how much time and energy did people invested in building them. I love your post and photos!!

Yeah, I have the same question with you. I think they must have put a lot of effort and time in creating those houses coz they're so far away, even though I don't know how to get there when I was there. Thank you @belug

Being able to see firsthand the beauty of nature and elements of rural life like this is a blessing. You are lucky to be there.

When I retire later, I dream of living in the countryside with a peaceful life like the photos you share.
Have a great day.

Gorgeous place and photos! Simple life has something about it which makes it so desirable for us, the urban modern people. Simple life is not easy in such homes and with limited conditions. But these people seem to enjoy it. This is a good reminder of how people used to live for ages before technology and fancy jobs would appear. Still most of us could not have our easy life if it would not be for the hard working farmers providing us and high food chains with the fruit of their labour. I highly respect this kind of people, everything starts from the land.

Hi there I totally agree with you, the happy farmers over there are the people who work very hard to provide food for the people who live in big city like us who has a very complicated and stressful life. I think the more simple life we have the happier we are. Thank you very much for your visit.

Wow, beautiful shots! My dad has some photos from Vietnam when he was there. I have looked at them many times over the years, but he was never able to visit some of the areas like this. Pretty awesome!

Maybe your dad's photos were about the cities in Vietnam's. I hope you can make it soon to remote areas in Vietnam and take some beautiful photos and show them to your children one day.

Thanks, no kids here, so not much chance of that, but I think it would be cool to visit one day. Most of my dad's photos were from the war, so it was a lot of pictures on base and stuff like that. He did get to go out and explore a little, so he has some of China beach and things as well.
