When you look around, you will see green rice plants on the terraces that stretch upward along field paths, presenting a magnificent idyllic view.
The panorama of Huanghua Island Photo provided to iChongqing. The observation platform is a perfect spot to enjoy a commanding view of the terraces. With the terraces stretching up on the mountainsides, the mountains look like a chain of green pagodas or, if you look closer, necklaces on the necks of pretty girls.
When there is a breeze, the rice plants will swing back and forth elegantly with some egrets brushing past them now and then, which presents the most beautiful dance of nature. The rice plants there Photo provided to iChongqing. Unlike those grown in other places, rice plants on Huanghua Island grow on an island located in the middle of the Yangtze River.
Because of a unique environment and a small planting area, rice produced here is particularly precious. Moreover, Huanghua Island, located in the middle of the Yangtze River, is often half-hidden in the morning mist, making it look like a playful fairyland.
Hence, locals also call it "Celestial Island" and call rice grown on it "Celestial Rice" the two words "island" and "rice" have similar Chinese pronunciations.
