entry description
this series shown the rice terrace of the region Mu Cang Chai, Vietnam ,The majestic man-made terraces are carved into the mountains, with rice fields stacked in increasing gradients to create fluid lines .From February to April, the hills shimmer with dramatic beauty as the rice paddies, filled with water, create a mirror-like effect before turning a dazzling emerald green in May. Once the harvest begins in late September or early October and the ethnic Hmong gather their crops, the terraced rice fields range in colour from golden to toast-brown. The Hmong’s ancestors built the terraces way back in the 15th Century, according to experts, meaning that this ethnic group has been cultivating the rice paddies for more than 20 generations. the photos were taken between The 2nd-6 September 2019about the photographer
