Terraced Fields


Terraced fields are a form of cultivation on sloping land of many different peoples in the world. Winding along the terrain to create soil with the same height for farming is not an easy job.


Because in highland and rare mountainous areas, land for cultivation, especially wet rice cultivation, people overcome by selecting hillsides and mountains with tertiary soils to form flat soils. Then depending on the intention of farming, it is possible to dry or lead water from the higher peaks.


Determining whether a field of soil is flat, water is the most effective measure, because the nature of the fertile soil has high clay content, the ability to absorb water slowly, so people put water into the field from higher place, based on this water level to adjust so that the field is flat evenly.


In Vietnam this form of cultivation is very popular in upland areas such as the Central Highlands, Northwest or the Midlands regions in the North ...


From the past to present, the image of terraced fields has always been a beautiful image in the highlands, making tourists and photographers passionate and spend a lot of movies.
