Golden harvest season in Ngoc Con valley in Cao Bang
Every year in late September, early October the Ngoc Con Valley in Dinh Phong Commune, Cao Bang, dons its most vibrant attire. Amidst the vast expanse of rolling rocky mountains, golden rice fields cast their reflections upon the winding Quay Son River, creating a natural masterpiece that is both majestic and poetic. Far from the noise and haste of city life, the harvest season in Ngoc Con is imbued with the tranquil charm of a highland village: early morning mist dancing on mountain peaks, the rich fragrance of fresh rice carried on the breeze, and the radiant smiles of locals amidst stalks heavy with grain.
