Hoang Su Phi is famous for its terraced fields which are considered as the most beautiful fields in Vietnam during the harvest. Hoang Su Phi District possesses around 3000 hectares of terraced fields spreading over the hills. These fields are located mainly in 6 communes: Ban Luoc (Bản Luốc), San Sa Ho (Sán Sả Hồ), Ban Phung (Bản Phùng), Ho Thau (Hồ Thầu), Nam Ty (Nậm Ty), and Thong Nguyen (Thông Nguyên). It is worth mentioning that the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism has officially identified Hoang Su Phi’s terraced fields as the National Scenic Heritage in 2012, which is an affirmation for the recognition and appreciation of the authorities for that natural landscape.

Hoang Su Phi is much more rustic, poetic, and romantic in the autumn, attracting both domestic and foreign tourists. Coming to this place in late September, you will have chance to attend in the annual event “Through the heritage of Hoang Su Phi’s terraced fields”, which is held in Vinh Quang Town (Thị trấn Vinh Quang) with several cultural activities to introduce the traditions of ethnic minorities and promote the tourism potential of the province. Additionally, you can also watch rituals related to agricultural beliefs of the local people, typically “lễ cúng cơm mới”, organized to express gratitude to the ancestors, heaven, and earth before the harvest.
