In the mountains of the far north of Vietnam, just below the China boarder, lies the sleepy town of Bac Ha. On motorbikes we spent a couple days exploring the surrounding area, dotted with Hill Tribe Villages and their gravity defying agriculture.
Terraced rice paddies with corn below--the two main crops
Earthwork masters--all created with human and animal labor
Corn extends up the nearly vertical steeps on the right, almost to the peaks
Horse Herders
Picturesque but a seriously tough area to cultivate
Check out the birds sitting on the sticks
Buffalo Tractors
Steep is an understatement
Gentle Beasties
