2. Tu Le Valley rice fields
For the first time seeing, you will find the fascinating rice fields fitting inside the valley. Especially, if you visit the spot in the ripen rice season, from September to October, you are even more impressed by the glorious yellow color covering every corner of the attraction. Together with Mu Cang Chai, La Phan Tan, Nghia Lo Vietnam, Tu Le contributes to the attractiveness of Yen Bai scenery to attract tourists to the land. However, unlike these spots, it brings about a more friendly feeling instead of being hidden high in the mountains or deep in the valleys. The terraces of fields are located on gentler slopes and rice beside the national roadway. There is a great stream outstanding among the field background that provides water for all the fields, making Tu Le more lively and fresh.
