From mid-September to early October, Cao Bằng reaches its peak beauty as the rice fields turn golden and the sunlight spills across the mountain slopes and distant valleys, casting a honeyed glow... A visit to Cao Bằng during this time will offer you an unforgettable adventure filled with lasting memories.

When visiting Cao Bằng in the fall, the romantic spot most people choose to capture the most striking photographs is the Quây Sơn River area. Originating from the streams in Tĩnh Tây, Bách Sắc city of Guangxi province (China), the river flows south into Vietnam, revealing its stunning emerald green waters. The river winds gracefully through the rugged limestone mountains, with some sections slowing down and hiding peacefully beneath lush bamboo groves. Other parts twist like silk ribbons crossing terraced rice fields stacked like a heavenly ladder... Together, they form a picturesque and poetic landscape that no pen could fully describe. Anyone visiting here would find themselves captivated, unwilling to leave.
You can take a leisurely stroll along the riverbanks, breathing in the fresh air while taking in the breathtaking natural scenery. As you casually gaze at the flowing waters, you may spot villagers’ rafts drifting slowly across the vast green expanse, or a few plump buffaloes bathing and enjoying the cool water in the evening light before returning to their pens... These simple moments transform the landscape into a warm, intimate experience.
Continuing your Cao Bằng adventure, make sure to stop by the rice fields in Phong Nặm, Trùng Khánh.

Between September and October, when the autumn sun blankets the mountain slopes of the North-East and West regions, the rice fields in Phong Nặm, Trùng Khánh, are bathed in a golden hue as the rice ripens. Beyond the golden fields, you can also admire the breathtaking beauty of the endless mountain ranges, where the yellow, green, and brown colors of the rice blend together in an enchanting display that captivates everyone who lays eyes on it.
In the fields of Phong Nặm, when harvest season arrives, from the moment the sun first shines, you'll hear the sounds of people calling to each other, laughter filling the air, and children playing on the rice paddies still left with stalks. It paints a picture of warmth and peace. Entering the small villages, you might immediately encounter simple but beautiful scenes—fragrant bundles of rice hanging in front of porches, straw stacks arranged around houses, golden rice in the yards, and the soft gray smoke rising from tiny kitchens. Everything feels familiar and irresistibly charming.

The following day, you can wake up early and ask for directions to the scenic Thang Hen Lake. Located in Quoc Toan Commune, Tra Linh District, Cao Bang, Thang Hen Lake is often called a celestial paradise in everyday life—something no one visiting Cao Bang should miss out on. During autumn mornings, the lake’s surface is eerily calm and clear, offering a sense of tranquility. The surrounding trees, gently swaying, stretch out and reflect on the still waters, creating a dreamy and enchanting atmosphere. It’s the perfect place for a serene escape you won’t easily find anywhere else.
Cao Bang is extraordinarily beautiful and captivating during autumn, making it a perfect stop for your travels.
