Stop for photos at the rice fields along the road within the hamlet. It depends on the seasons; you may see how local farmers plant or harvest the rice. Farming is the local peoples main job. Thanks to the efficient irrigation system, farmers have two rice crops a year with a productivity of 5 to 6 tonnes per hectare. Some people grow rice three times a year, but most farmers alternate their crops, such as water melons, corn,.
