Not in every single place on this planet are you able to find and visit the gorgeous aesthetics and bountiful harvest of a rice terrace.
In our region, we’re very fortunate to have several places with stunning rice terraces that individuals and tourists from all around the world can come and experience.
According to The Telegraph, here you possibly can see probably the most beautiful and sumptuous examples of rice terraces on this planet:

Japan is home to many photogenic rice fields, and highly rated amongst them is that this private farm in Hoshitouge – positioned near the west coast of central Japan.

ALREADY THAILAND
Chiang Mai, Thailand, an exquisite destination in itself, is home to rice fields positioned near several luxury hotels and resorts.
DRAGON’S SPINE, CHINA

Captured here basking in dappled needles of sunlight, these steep fields are positioned on the foot of the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, 1,000 meters above sea level and canopy an area of over 2,200 hectares.

Certainly one in all the more famous rice terraces on this planet, thanks partially to their appearance in Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling memoir Eat, Pray, Love, it’s indeed a sight to behold.
DOURO VALLEY, PORTUGAL
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001, the Doura Valley is dotted with centuries-old terraced vineyards. They grow grapes, after all, not rice, but aesthetically it’s one in all those you’d get outside of Asia.
