The most spectacular rice fields in Asia

Sa Pa region is located in the northern part of Vietnam and it is known for its terraced rice fields. It is hard to believe that these rice fields are the achievement of hundreds of years of effort and is man made. It is a perfect place for hiking in the mountains and to enjoy an abundance of breathtaking views. The locals are in great majority of the hill tribes. There are several organized tours from Hanoi that offer transportation, meals and accommodation in homestays for a complete immersion with locals.
