At the end of July, Bac Son valley (Lang Son) is dyed yellow when rice fields are ripe for harvesting. From the top of Na Lay, a popular paparazzi stop, visitors will admire the panoramic view of the valley.

A special feature in the valley this season is the soil color of the harvested field alternating yellow paddy and ripe rice corners. This particular beauty is formed by uneven farmers.

Photographer Bui Vinh Thuan, born and raised in Bac Son, said the Na Lay peak about 400 m above sea level is the best place to capture the whole Bac Son valley. "When the sun shines behind the mountains, the valley in the clouds appears like a ink painting."

According to Mr. Thuan, tourists who want to hunt for pictures of sunrise and clouds have to start at 3:30 at the foot of the mountain, climbing and resting over 1,200 stone steps in an hour to reach Na Lay. Guests should limit climbing after rainy nights because of the dangerous slippery stone steps.
