Peaceful picture from terraced fields in Western Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - Coming to the Khmu people's area in Keng Du and Na Loi communes (Ky Son district) this season, one cannot help but be amazed by the beautiful scenery of the terraced fields winding around the hillsides, shimmering with white water pouring down like a poetic and peaceful picture.
 |
| The terraced fields of the Khmu people in Keng Du and Na Loi communes (Ky Son) are incredibly beautiful this season. In the afternoon sun, the poetic and peaceful natural picture will captivate anyone who sees it. |
 |
| Located in the high mountainous terrain, wet rice cultivation was previously little concerned by the Khmu people in Western Nghe An. However, with limited awareness of slash-and-burn cultivation, today, people are increasingly proficient in the stages of wet rice cultivation; in particular, they promote land reclamation to make terraced fields. |
 |
| Terraced fields are mainly located on hillsides and near streams. Here, people take advantage of every vacant space to divide the fields in order from highest to lowest. |
 |
| Water is taken from streams and poured from high fields to low fields using homemade bamboo pipes. |
 |
| Coming to Keng Du commune (Ky Son) this season, visitors will witness terraced fields pouring white water around the hillsides. |
 |
| On the fields, people built small huts to both rest and facilitate the farming process. |
 |
| Many Khmu households have started to use machines to produce rice. However, due to the high mountainous terrain and difficult transportation, getting the machines to the fields is very difficult. |
 |
| In some places, the rice fields have begun to grow well. Although the rice fields are still small, they are enough to ensure the livelihood of the Khmu people in the highlands of Nghe An. |
