In some parts of the world he used fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke signals. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.

Fire was very also used to give light. Before the invention of oil lamp, men used burning sticks as torches. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in wire baskets from posts to light the streets.

Terraced rice fields are located in the northern mountainous provinces. Local ethnic minority peoples can grow rice and establish terraced rice fields, one after another, from the foot to nearly top of mountains. In distance, the terraced rice fields look like a picture of nature with heart-catching beauty keeping tourists to stay for admiration for a while. This picture however has its colour changed seasonally. As usual in April and May, the local people water their fields at full to prepare for a new crop. At this time, the surface of terraced fields shines like a mirror. In June and July, the terraced rice fields with fully-grown paddy rice and forest trees spread the green out to the entire area. In September and October when autumn ends, the terraced rice fields look like golden silk scarves flying over in the wind above green mountain slopes. Famous terraced rice fields can be found in Yen Bai, Ha Giang.
