Because in the highlands and mountainous areas such as the Central Highlands, Northwest or the Midlands regions of Northern Vietnam, there is little flat land for cultivation, especially wet rice cultivation. Because of that, the farmers here have overcome by choosing hills and mountains with tarred soil to create flat soil. Then, depending on the intention to cultivate, it is possible to dry or lead water from the higher peaks. This form of farming developed to this day has created impressive “architectural works�. The color of these fields depends on the colors of the cultivated rice variety and its level of development. For example, young rice plants will have a green color or rice plants with yellow-ripe rice fields that show a region or brown soil of bare lands – where rice has just been harvested by farmers. . All of these colors are intertwined with natural but subtle colors that create a scene that captivates people by its beauty.
