Around mid-year, the roads leading to Hoi An in central Vietnam are blanketed with the golden hue of vast ripe paddy fields.

The ripe rice season has become a trademark of Hoi An tourism, with local tour companies welcoming the most visitors at this time of the year. 

Many villas and resorts have sprung up near the paddy fields, capitalizing on the distinctive vantage point to offer their guests an unparalleled viewing experience.

On their journey to explore the Hoi An Ancient Town, tourists only need to cycle for 10-15 minutes and their eyes will be treated with the stunning yet peaceful beauty of the fields.
