While many lowland areas in Nghe An province suffered crop failures in the spring rice season, in the mountainous district of Que Phong, people are busily harvesting with the joy of a bountiful harvest.
During the rice harvest season, the golden rice fields of Chau Kim commune, Que Phong district, stretch out under the afternoon sun. The entire valley glows with a warm, golden hue, creating a peaceful and prosperous scene.

This method helps the rice stalks wilt quickly, reduces losses during transportation, and minimizes grain shedding—a familiar but important step in the harvesting process.
