The Yunhe Terraces in east China's Zhejiang Province are a breathtaking testament to over a thousand years of agricultural heritage. Spanning 51 square kilometers and soaring over 1,200 meters in vertical height, these terraces are the largest of their kind in east China. Nestled across mountains, hills, and valleys, they create a mesmerizing patchwork of golden rice fields.
As harvest season arrives, simple farmers immerse themselves in the rhythmic process of collecting plump rice grains from the lush terraces. This season, the local cultural and tourism department has launched a unique study tour that invites visitors to not only gaze upon the stunning scenery but also partake in traditional farming practices. Participants can experience firsthand the art of cutting and threshing rice and even try their hand at crafting rice-based handicrafts.
Meanwhile, in the vibrant city of Yiwu\u2014often hailed as the \"hometown of brown sugar\"\u2014farmers are busily harvesting sugarcane, a crucial crop for brown sugar production. Yiwu's rich tradition in brown sugar making adds another layer of cultural depth to Zhejiang's harvest festivities.
