Which month does the water season in Hoang Su Phi take place?
The season of pouring water is a term used to refer to the season when ethnic people will take water to their terraces to prepare for rice transplanting, this is an extremely important stage to start a new ripe rice season.
The pouring season will take place at the end of April, and usually lasts until the beginning of June to end. Depending on the place, time can be long or slow.

After taking water into the field, people will sow seed and plant rice. This is also the time when people release fish into the field so that the fish grow up over time. The ripe rice season is also the time when people both harvest rice and catch fish to bring home to cook.

Travel experience in the pouring water season in Hoang Su Phi
Experience the pouring water season in Nam Hong village
I went to Hoang Su Phi in the pouring water season, that was one morning I went on a zigzag road to Nam Hong village, Thong Nguyen commune, Hoang Su Phi district. In the morning, the terraced fields have very soft curves, crept inwards are white clouds floating. The sun at this time was already shining softly down on those charming curves.
In Nam Hong, the Red Dao people went to the fields very early to wait for the first water to pour into their fields. These streams of water flow down from the mountains, sometimes from the waterfall along the cliffs and into the fields.
If you are a backpacking enthusiast and don’t mind riding a motorbike to explore the roads, besides Nam Hong, you can go to many other places to see the water season.

Phung Village
Phung Village is a tourist village of the La Chi people. This place is considered the most famous terraced field heritage Hoang Su Phi is loved by many people. Standing from Chi Tai Homestay, you can satisfy your eyes to watch the water flowing under the fields. Sometimes, relatives will go to the fields to see if the water flows into their fields and sometimes you can also see the people standing and talking to each other happily.
The pouring water season in Phung Village is beautiful and enchanting. If you come to Hoang Su Phi, you must not miss this place.
Luoc Village
Luoc Village is also one of the places to visit in the pouring water season in Hoang Su Phi. Different from the gentle terraced fields in Phung Village, Luoc Village has majestic terraces, steep slopes and extremely majestic hillsides. The fields look like soft cloud veins winding across the horizon. And sometimes, when the sun shines on the fields, you will see the color of the water like a forgotten gem in the human world.

Along with the ripe rice season in Hoang Su Phi, the pouring water season in Hoang Su Phi are two seasons worth admiring. However, tourism in the pouring water season of Hoang Su Phi also has many shortcomings.
– This is also the time when the North of Vietnam has the first rains of the season. Torrential rains make tourists feel extremely uncomfortable. Sometimes, walking on the road, the sudden rain makes you feel extremely tired. So, before traveling, try to see what the weather is like before leaving.
– When traveling in Hoang Su Phi in the pouring water season, because it often rains, you must prepare a raincoat for the road. To miss a sudden rain can be avoided.
– Should book homestay in advance when traveling in the pouring water season. Because this is a season that many people travel to admire the beauty of the rice terraces, rooms are often sold out.
– The most ideal time to see the terraced fields in the pouring water season is early in the morning. When the steam rises, the scene is both real and virtual, extremely romantic. And at sunset, the sun blends into the field water, making the array of colors extremely beautiful.
