Lao Cai ranked in top 10 world’s most beautiful places
(15:38:33 PM 17/07/2015)
The website noted that the beautiful man-made rice terraces in Lao Cai help supply the most staple food item for Vietnamese people: rice.
It also explained that rice grain requires a flat surface and lots of water to grow, which isn’t typical in the country, so people had to improvise and figure out an alternate way to grow their food.
“Their endeavours resulted in a beautiful coloured landscape”, says TheRichest.
Rounding out the list of top 10 are Geiranger Fjord of Norway, Maldives, Salar de Uyuni of Bolivia, Yosemite National Park of the US, Midway Island of Haiwaii, Pamukale of Turkey, Meteora of Greece, Zhangye Danxia Landform of China, and Fiorland of New Zealand.
