Filling terraced rice fields with water

Filling terraced rice fields with water
By Kim Ngan {authorlink}

The period between late June and early July is a busy time for ethnic minority communities in the northwestern upland as they prepare to grow a new crop in their terraced rice fields. This is the peak rainy season, earning it the nickname “the season of pouring water into the terraced rice fields.”

From vantage points atop high mountains, one can witness the breathtaking sight of terraced fields winding from the valleys to the mountain peaks. The fields, filled with water, resemble mirrors reflecting the clouds in the sky, while in other areas, farmers diligently plant rice seedlings in the fields.
