Hoàng Su Phì is a mountainous district in western Hà Giang Province, globally renowned for its breathtaking terraced rice fields that drape across steep mountain slopes. Designated as a National Heritage site, it remains incredibly offbeat and offers pristine trekking trails through bamboo forests and ethnic villages. The area has stayed largely isolated from mainstream tourism.
Witness some of the most dramatic and beautiful rice terraces in the world during the golden harvest (September) or water pouring season (May).
