What Makes An Nhứt Rice Fields Special
An Nhứt Rice Fields is a 2,000-hectare stretch of traditional rice paddies in Long Điền district, Bà Rịa - Vũng Tàu province, approximately 30km southwest of Vũng Tàu city centre. The fields are considered one of the most scenic in Bà Rịa province, with a 2km winding asphalt road running through the middle of the paddies like a ribbon through the landscape, flanked in some sections by trees with yellow blossoms. A lone tree standing in the centre of the fields became the signature landmark after the location went viral on social media in 2024. The rice cycle follows traditional seasonal rhythms - the two harvest seasons when the paddies turn gold are the most photogenic periods, but the deep green of the growing season and the white egrets that work the fields year-round give the location a different but equally valid beauty outside harvest time. A weekend food market with bamboo stall structures has grown up along the dike road, with local countryside dishes at very low prices.

What to Expect
👀 On the Ground
The landscape is flat open paddies with the 2km winding road as the main attraction for photography. The lone tree in the fields is the signature shot. During harvest season (Mar-Apr and Aug-Sep), the golden colour of ripe rice against the sky in the late afternoon light is the primary draw. Outside harvest season, the deep green of growing rice with egrets flying overhead has its own appeal. On weekends from 4 PM, food stalls built from bamboo and bamboo poles set up along the dike road with local countryside dishes - bánh khọt, bánh xèo, grilled corn, roasted bananas, boiled shellfish - at prices from 5,000-25,000 VND. The atmosphere is casual and local. Kite flying is a popular weekend activity among families. The fields can also be cycled through for a slower experience.
Travel Tips
🧳 Tips
An Nhứt works best as a late afternoon visit - arrive around 3:30-4 PM to walk the fields in comfortable temperature, catch the golden hour photography window between 4-5 PM, and stay for the food market which opens from 4 PM. Combine with Phước Hải beach for a full day trip from Vũng Tàu. Check the rice calendar before building a trip specifically around the golden harvest aesthetic - timing is everything and the window for golden rice is only a few weeks per harvest cycle.
