The beauty of terraced rice fields in the mountainous district of Tu Mo Rong

in #hive-153349last year

Hi dear Hivers in Photofeed community, today I would like to share with you some photos of terraced rice fields that I took during my business trip to the mountainous district, Tu Mo Rong. As a remote mountainous district of Kon Tum province, and the population is mainly ethnic minorities such as Xo Dang and Mo Nam, in general, the local people have a very poor and difficult life. In return, the natural beauty here is majestic, especially the terraced fields.

The terraces are a captivating sight that showcases remarkable craftsmanship and harmony between man and nature. These meticulously maintained landscapes are a source of nourishment and cultural heritage for generations, a testament to the incredible ability and resourcefulness of the hardworking farmer. Looking at the pictures below, it seems that these terraces are created from a vertical mountainside.

The terraced fields are proof of the extraordinary of the people of this remote and mountainous land. The steep and hilly landscape poses a great challenge for humans. In order to survive, the ethinic minorities here had no choice but to carve into the mountainside to create plots of fields that crisscrossed the mountainsides. They have skillfully and meticulously transformed the rough and difficult-to-reach terrain into fertile and productive farmland. These terraces control the flow of water, prevent soil erosion and provide optimal conditions for rice cultivation.

To have these majestic terraced rice fields, creating and maintaining them requires farmers' extensive knowledge, craftsmanship and community cooperation. Traditionally, the children here will follow their parents to work on the terraced fields from a very early age. And they will be taught by their parents how to farm on those tough terrain. It is through that tradition, the preservation and continuity of this ancient agricultural practice is ensured. The ethnic minorities even build their on top of the mountains.

If you have a chance to delve into areas like these, you will understand that the rice terraces not only sustain the community by providing an important source of food, but also exhibit deep spiritual and cultural significance. These often include rituals, folklore, and a deep human connection to the land. These rice terraces reflect the intimate relationship between man and nature, demonstrating the harmonious coexistence and respect of the ethinic minorities here for the earth's resources.

It looks amazing , but how many forrest did they remove to make this happen ?

I don't know @hive-15966
But the rice terraces have been there for many generations, and I'm not sure there were forests there before, or they were just grassy hills.

ahh ok ,we see here all kind of documentations about farmers setting fire to the forrests to get farmland, that is why i was wondering if it was happening there as well.

How incredibly beautiful! Although it is special for generations to carry on the tradition, I imagine it is hard work

Yes @buckaroobaby
It's clear that people there work very hard to maintain the terraces.

Wow, this kind of Rice field looks very similar to the rice field in Indonesia.

Here, we called it "Terasiring" which means the structure of rice field like a ladder to distribute the water evenly to all the rice plants.

Great post, thanks for sharing

Hey @queen-silvia
I think they are the same, we share a lot in common.

I've just finish my post about Vietnam village and I feel love more when I read this post.
