Ho Vang Giong in Ta Chi Lu village of La Pan Tan commune said that his family grows paddy in Mam Xoi hill but in the last few years, due to water shortage, local households failed to prepare the soil at the same time, therefore, their paddy was unable to ripen concurrently.

Besides Mam Xoi hill, Horseshoes area in Mo De commune is also a popular tourist attraction during the paddy harvest time and rainy season. However, in recent years, due to water shortage, local farmers cannot grow and harvest rice together so the landscape is not as beautiful as expected.

Giang A Chinh, head of Mu Cang Chai Horseshoe Hill Cooperative Group, said that in 2022, the group plans to rent the entire Horseshoe hill area of 12 households and then invest to make it a popular check-in site for visitors to Mu Cang Chai.

They want to offer visitors a landscape of massive rice ripening, Chinh said.
