Authentic images of late-ripening rice harvest in Western Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - With different sub-climates, soils and terrains, the winter-spring rice crop in Western Nghe An is often later than in the plains. Therefore, at this time, many mountainous villages have not yet finished harvesting. The mountainous terrain cannot use harvesters, farmers have to harvest by hand, transport by basket, and in places where rivers and streams are isolated, rice is brought back by boat. All of this creates a beautiful working scene of a golden season in the West.
