The unique feature of Yen Hoa commune is the system of nearly 50 water wheels located along Cha Ha stream. These water wheels were installed by local people to provide water for irrigation of the fields, serving agricultural production. The dense system of water wheels has created a lively and attractive landscape, demonstrating creativity in production and imbued with the identity of the highlands. Photo: Dinh Tuyen

By the water wheels, locals cast their nets to catch fish, looking for "fresh" meals for their families. The simple image evokes the peaceful pace of life along the Cha Ha River. Photo: Dinh Tuyen

Every afternoon, Thai women in traditional costumes go out to the fields together to look at the plump rice fields to calculate the harvest date. Photo: Dinh Tuyen
