Terraced rice fields in Phu Long B Village, Pu Nhi Commune, Dien Bien Province, create a distinctive highlight amid the mountainous landscape. The fields curve along the hillsides, forming graceful, continuous lines.

Particularly striking is a circular field with multiple concentric tiers, cultivated by local people over many years. Amid the green and golden hues of the rice, small huts scattered among the fields create a rustic and tranquil setting.
