September and October are the time when the highland district of Mu Cang Chai (Yen Bai province) is immersed in the golden color of ripe rice fields.

It is the brilliant golden color of the sunshine, the wind, and the ripe rice paddies with plump and firm rice grains; it is also the color of rice straw, and the happy smiling faces of farmers on the harvest day. The village scene is bustling and busy, but strangely beautiful.

Those who have visited Hue without experiencing the Hue rain are considered to be missing out on the full Hue experience. Autumn in Hue not only has dreamy light golden sun rays but also has sudden torrential rains with a poetic translucent silver color.

On these days, the Ngo Dong River and a festival flag bearing the words "The golden color of Tam Coc" ("Sắc vàng Tam Cốc"), which has an area of ​more than 10,000 square meters and is created from rice in a (rice) field, is as beautiful as a picturesque along the Ngo Dong River (Hoa Lu district, Ninh Binh province). They are attracting a large number of visitors to admire.

I was invited to take a ‘Green Hue’ sightseeing trip. Standing on Gia Vien bridge and look northwards on a sunny day, I saw River Huong was supported with different colors: yellow of the Golden Shower tree, scarlet of the Flamboyant, velvet of the crape-myrtle, blue of the sky and green of water. It made me think of a picture of happiness and well-being in the deep memory of more than thirty years: Sinh paintings.
