Hang Feng is short-statured with firm culms; strong, erect leaves and tight leaf sheaths; and good tillering and heading ability. It responds well to high N application and resists lodging. It is relatively tolerant to low temperature at meiosis and flowering. Leaves are light green and become yellowish-green during ripening. It has had few disease and insects problems. Yield is comparatively stable. Hang Feng has superior grain quality and high milling percentage. Milled rice is broad, uniform, and white, with good flavor, suitable stickiness, good scent, and glossy appearance. The variety is most commonly planted as a second crop (plant height 70-75 cm), although it also is single-cropped (plant height 85-90 cm). Second crop growth duration is 140 d. A single crop takes about 160 d. Hang Feng yields about 5 t/ha as a second crop and may yield 30% more in a single-cropping system
