| Some elderly people in the commune said that people have been growing wet rice for a long time. This area was increased rapidly in the 90s of the 20th century. Currently, the whole commune has more than 40 hectares of rice fields, concentrated in villages such as: Chieng village, Pom Om village, Khom village... Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Unlike the flat fields in the delta districts, the terraced fields are often small and winding on the mountain slopes, making farming and harvesting rice more difficult. Photo: Ho Phuong |

| While harvesting, the Thai people in Que Phong often tie the rice into small bundles, then use shoulder poles or baskets to carry them to the gathering place before threshing. Photo: Ho Phuong |

Because the terraced fields are small, multi-function harvesters cannot be used. Photo: Ho Phuong |

People produce along the clear and peaceful Nam Viec River. This is also where the people of Hanh Dich commune have an abundant source of food from catching fish, shrimp, crabs, etc. The terraced fields in Hanh Dich commune are not only a picture of the prosperous life of the people, but also an interesting place to experience, visit, and check-in for those who love to travel.
