Green & Golden Hues of Sekinchan
When I visited Sekinchan in January 2017, I lamented that I was there at the wrong time of the year as the field had just been harvested and it was all brown, instead of green and golden.
Well, life is definitely unpredicted as I found myself unwittingly visiting Sekinchan for the second time in May.
In my earlier postings about Sekinchan, I had mentioned that the best time to visit the paddy fields here is around June and December, just before harvesting takes place. This is because the planting season is in February and August, so visiting at other times offers different views.
The month of May was good enough for me – in fact, some plots of the crops had already been harvested, while other sections of the village were very smoky due to open burning.
Nevertheless, I got my wish to see the dozens of different hues of green and golden. I couldn’t stop capturing photos of the panoramic scenery.
This post serves no special purpose, just to share these captivating photos. If you are arranging to visit Sekinchan, read up on these attractions of Sekinchan to better plan your holiday!

I been to sekinchan a few times. Sometimes I was lucky to see the green paddy field, but sometimes as you said, harvested. Did you bought any rice back from those rice factory?
The harvest season is always the most beautiful one… especially reaching at the time just before harvesting. Great views! Cheers!! 🙂
I have visited Sekinchan Paddy Field before and I enjoy harvest season.
Hi Shannon,
No, I didn’t buy rice from there.
I’ve never been to a paddy field before but would love to someday. Love the serene ambiance and the green gold field. It feels like home.
Will make a trip to sekinchan again soon with my family.
Always wanted to visit sekinchan and take photos at the paddy fields! hehe
It’s very relaxing to look at! Thanks for sharing this. I remember when my papa and I travelled to a nearby town to look at rice fields.
Visit Sekinchan once when I want to sent my brother to his school around the area and I got to say that I love the relaxing environment.
Gosh I love looking a paddy fields, a whole stretch of golden stalks swaying in the wind. I must plan a drive for my daughter to experience that.
This is the most unique post I’ve read this month and I would like to applaud you, Emily. For some, rice field is the least of the places they will visit, However, I do enjoy the unique beauty of it especially before harvesting when they look golden in the afternoon!
lovely view there. I had a great time there with my friends last few weeks ago too
I’ve been wanting to visit this place for a long time. Your post definitely is making me try and arrange a time to go with the family!
So in love with it.. definitely on my list of to visit places…
Harvest season is always so fun! I have never been to visit Sekinchan when it was in golden hues! But we always drop by here whenever we visit Sekinchan =)
