Let’s take a look at the breath-taking golden terraced rice fields in the Mu Cang Chai district of Yen Bai province in the run up to the paragliding festival, "Flying in the yellow season”, which is set to swoop into the district from September 21 to 23.

The festival is part of a series of activities taking place in the Mu Cang Chai terraced rice fields.

Mu Cang Chai is nestled at the bottom of the Hoang Lien Son Mountain Range at 1000m altitude.

Yen Bai people call Mu Cang Chai "Khau Pha sea of clouds" because to reach Mu Cang Chai, visitors must go through the Khau Pha Pass at 2100m high, one of the steepest and twistiest passes in Vietnam.

Visitors to the festival will have a chance to admire the magnificent terraced rice fields – the most beautiful of its kind in Vietnam – with an eagle’s eye view from above.

The best time to visit Mu Cang Chai is from mid-September to October.

It was first held in Mu Cang Chai district in 2013 with the participation of more than 30 paragliders. The number of visitors soared from about 1,000 in 2013 to over 14,000 in 2017.
