Rice painting in Ninh Binh impressing visitors

Rice fields in Tam Coc area of the northern province of Ninh Binh are among the most beautiful ones in Vietnam. A giant painting created on the rice fields with the name “Ly Ngu Vong Nguyet”, or “carps look at the moon”, is a new attraction over the recent days.

The 9,500 sq.m painting using rice as material on vast fields of Tam Coc stretches along the meandering Ngô Đồng river. It symbolizes abundance and the bountiful water element. The rice painting is a highlight of the 2023 Ninh Binh tourism week, which started on May 27./.

The picture is not only bold in folk and cultural colors of the Vietnamese people, but also honors the values of agricultural activities through the image of rice, and expresses the dream of a peaceful year, bountiful crops. 

The most impressive and enticing time to visit Tam Cốc is around late May and early June. During this period, the vibrant yellow of the rice fields extends shimmering alongside the Ngô Đồng River, flowing under majestic limestone mountain ranges./.
