China’s National Day holiday brought a golden wave of travelers to Chongyi County’s Shangbao Hakka terraced fields, where 1,000-year-old rice paddies glow like liquid sunshine during harvest season. 🌄 The UNESCO-candidate site, layered across misty mountainsides, has become a viral backdrop for eco-tourists and culture seekers alike.
"This year’s harvest isn’t just about rice—it’s about opportunity," shared a local farmer, noting how the area’s ‘ecology + tourism’ model is transforming scenic views into sustainable income. With homestays booming and photo-centric trails trending on Douyin (China’s TikTok), rural revitalization here looks as vibrant as the amber grains swaying in the breeze. 💼📸
As visitors hike through the ‘stairways to heaven,’ they’re not just snapping Instagram gold—they’re fueling a green economy that’s rooted in tradition yet ripe for the future. 🌱🇨🇳
