About Boats through the Rice Fields of Tam Coc

Tam Coc, which means three caves, lies in Ninh Binh province among steep limestone hills. From the village, small boats follow the Ngo Dong River for a few kilometres through rice fields and under the hills, passing through three low caves on the way. Many of the rowers are local women, and some of them row with their feet, leaning back and pushing the oars with their legs. The rice is green in spring and turns gold just before the harvest in late May and early June. Here a long line of boats winds along the river between the fields.

Puzzle tip: start with the line of boats on the river; the green fields and the misty hills come last.
