Mu Cang Chai in Lao Cai province is famous for its glowing terraced fields in autumn. Less well known perhaps than La Pan Tan and Che Cu Nha, Hang Dang De villaghe is blessed with a pristine peaceful beauty.
Hang Dang De village covers more than 10 kilometers from the center of former Mu Cang Chai district along a narrow and steep road, but visitors are rewarded with the sight of golden fields stretching across the steep mountainsides.
The village has only a few dozen Mong ethnic households, scattered among the terraced fields. At harvest time, the fields turn a shimmering gold that reflects the autumn sunlight and creates the signature landscape of Vietnam’s northwest highlands.
Unlike crowded tourist spots, Hang Dang De village maintains a slow, quiet rhythm. Locals harvest rice early in the morning and return home in the afternoon, when smoke rises gently from kitchens on the mountainside.
“This year more visitors have come. Everyone is friendly. After taking photos, they always greet us while we are harvesting. We hope to keep the village clean, so people will want to come back,” a resident said.
Visitors can stay in local homestays and enjoy highland meals of sticky rice, grilled stream fish, forest vegetables, and warm corn wine. Nguyen Thanh Trung, a visitor from Hanoi, said: “I’ve been to Mu Cang Chai many times. This place feels different. Not crowded, not chaotic. You only hear the wind and the sound of people harvesting. It really calms the mind.”
Terraced fields step down the mountainside, layer after layer, forming soft waves of ripened rice down the slopes.
In the glowing golden season of Mu Cang Chai, Hang Dang De has a simple, peaceful charm.
Uncommercialized and quiet, it’s becoming popular with those seeking an authentic and captivating corner of Vietnam’s northwest.
