The highland area of Tả Phìn Commune, Tủa Chùa District is an inhospitable area, with more than 70 per cent of the land comprised of cat-ear shaped rocky mountains.
The region has few rivers and streams, limited arable land and at first seems to be nothing more than a harsh and difficult natural environment.
Despite these challenging conditions, the people of Tả Phìn Commune have found ways to develop their land, working on the stone plateaus to carve out livings through their hard work and ingenuity.
Agricultural production is extremely difficult due to the rocky terrain, but the ethnic residents have persevered.
The commune has over 700ha of food crops, with 470ha of corn planted on the rocky mountainsides.
When the rainy season arrives, the farmers carry soil into rock crevices, arrange stones around the crops to prevent soil erosion and expand the cultivated areas bit by bit with each successive harvest. This persistent effort has resulted in the green corn fields covering the cat-ear shaped rocky landscape, symbolising the resilience and vitality of the local people.
In recent years, thanks to the Party and State, facilities, economic, social and educational life in Tả Phìn has increasingly developed.
