Guojiawan Village in Yuping Dong Autonomous County, southwest the Chinese mainland's Guizhou Province, is celebrating a bumper rice harvest this season. Spanning over 100 hectares, the golden terraces create a stunning landscape, while the delightful aroma of ripening rice fills the air.
This remarkable harvest is a testament to Guojiawan Village's long-standing tradition of terrace rice cultivation. The villagers have perfected their farming techniques over generations, ensuring high yields and sustainable practices.
Historically, the rice grown in Guojiawan was honored as tribute rice during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1736-1796) in the Qing Dynasty. This legacy continues today, as the village maintains its cultural heritage while adapting to modern agricultural advancements.
