Crystal Cloud

An art installation titled “Crystal Cloud” featuring 58,000 shimmering Swarovski beads on top of a hill in inYen Bai province, North Vietnam, attracting huge crowds recently. The refraction of crystal beads in the sun and the water’s surface makes a scene of rainbows on the terraced fields. It’s an unforgettable site for people who visit Mù Cang Chải during the event recently.
To me, actually, the original terrace rice field is already a masterpiece of art creation. I wonder whether the new art installation is going to ruin the charm of the field created by the farmer for the production of crops. Nevertheless, it is a new attraction for tourist to view the effect of the crystal under different lighting natural condition. For the photographer, is another resource of inspiration of capturing images of colour glittering patterns. I was fortunate to visit the place recently when the installation was not flooded with tourist.
The crystal cloud display is open until the beginning of harvest season in October.
