The path leading to Xim Vang is small, from a distance it looks like a thin thread clinging to the mountainside. Going about 6-7km, at this time, you will see the terraced fields of the people appear, if in the harvest season the iridescent yellow color is like the sun shining brightly in a corner of the sky.

If  you travel to Xim Vang  in October, you can also admire the yellow color of ripe rice.

Seemingly understanding that hardship, the children who are carried on their shoulders are always obedient, sleeping soundly on their mothers’ backs.
