| The terraced fields of Sapa in Vietnam have been recognized as one of the world’s and Asia’s seven most beautiful and magnificent terraced fields, US-based Travel & Leisure magazine has announced. |
 |
Other
fields include Banaye (the Philippines), Yuangyang (Yunnan, China),
Ubud (Bali, Indonesia), Annapurna (Nepal), Mae Rim (Chiang Mai,
Thailand), and Longji (Guilin, China).
These results came from a vote by the readers of Travel & Leisure.
The magazine described the terraced fields of Sapa located in the northern province of Lao Cai as “ladders to the sky”.
It
has helped attract a great many tourists, who travel to Lao Cai City by
train before going by coach to the Sapa tourist area to experience both
the rice fields and the hospitality of ethnic Mong and Dao girls in
colourful costumes and to soak up the view of Mount Fansipan, the
highest peak in Vietnam (3143m). |
