About Don Village Rice Terraces
The best-known terraced slopes in the reserve, wrapping around the hillside above Don village with bamboo waterwheels along the river below. The lodges clustered here have the wide valley view that appears in most photographs of Pu Luong.
Don Village Rice Terraces is one of the places most visitors to Pu Luong make time for. A nature reserve of terraced valleys, bamboo waterwheels and Thai stilt villages — the quiet version of Sapa, four hours from Hanoi.
Before you go: Early morning mist sits in the valley and burns off by about nine, which is the shot worth getting up for.
