Photos taken on August 21 show the golden rice fields at Zhaihou Village, Jiahe County, Chenzhou City.
In early autumn, more than 1,000 mu (about 66.67 hectares) of middle-season rice in the village will usher in a bumper harvest.
In recent years, the local government has taken advantage of good natural environment and unique terrace scenery in the mountain areas to plant high-quality rice and create a beautiful rural landscape, in a bid to drive the integrated development of agriculture and tourism and help rural revitalization.
