Vietnam Phu Yen Sedge Harvest Fields

The sedge (cói) harvest fields in Tuy An District, Phu Yen offer a vibrant, lush green rural spectacle. Local farmers work in harmony with nature—harvesting long green sedge stalks, bundling them neatly, and drying them under the warm sun. A unique highlight for visual storytellers is capturing farmers wading through winding waterways, pulling long chains of floating green sedge bundles along the river. Seen from a top-down drone perspective, the contrast between the velvety green fields, earthy cut patches, and winding river channels creates mesmerizing geometric patterns and rich agricultural storytelling

Best Time: Early morning (6:00 AM – 9:00 AM) or late afternoon (3:30 PM – 5:30 PM) during the harvest season (typically May to July) for soft daylight, vivid green tones, and active harvesting work.
Best Gear: A drone (flycam) is essential to capture the geometric top-down layout of the fields, as well as the 'sedge snakes' floating down the river. On the ground, a medium telephoto or standard zoom (24-70mm) captures action shots of farmers tying and drying sedge bundles. Composition: Look for leading lines formed by irrigation canals and contrast between untouched green sedge grass and harvested golden-brown patches.

Located in Tuy An District (near Chi Thanh Town), about 30 km north of Tuy Hoa City center. Easily reached by car, taxi, or motorbike via National Route 1A.
