Mu Cang Chai Tour: Vietnam Adventure amid Rice Terraces

A tour to Mu Cang Chai Vietnam in autumn

It had been autumn in North Vietnam for a while and I had been pinned down by piles of work. It was about the end of September that I could escape from the office for a few days. Northern Vietnam had enjoyed an autumn among the most beautiful in my life. A spell of winter monsoon earlier than usual had made the temperatures much more pleasant. Everyday it was breezy and pleasant sunshine. It was a perfect combination for an escape holiday from Hanoi.
 Leaving the city in a morning full of sunshine, the trip out in the country was so peaceful. Traffic was quiet. It was later in the morning but things were empty and so peaceful on the Trung Ha Bridge between Hanoi and Phu Tho Province. Trung Ha is right at the confluence of the Da River (Black River and the Red River).
