The people in Mien Doi (Lac Son) are harvesting the spring rice crop in 2020 on the terraced fields.
We arrived in Mien Doi when the people are rushing to harvest the spring rice crop. From a distance, the terraced fields are softly waving like the golden layers of stratum, layering along the hillsides, one after another, sparkling in the brilliant golden sunshine. To get this masterpiece, it is necessary to mention the sweat and the labor of so many generations of people here. More than 400 hectares of terraced fields on hills and mountains have been created with the diligence. It is also a stable source of food for 141 households, nearly 700 people in Mien Doi.

Therefore, it not only creates the diversity and the abundance of crops, but it also helps improve the income and the people's lives
From the fanciful beauty of the golden terraces among the green mountains, the magnificent beauty of Le hill (Voi Thuong village) at an altitude of 1,000 m above sea level, many young people and even tourism have chosen Mien Doi as a destination of experience and discovery destination.
