Flavorful Forays

Just around the time of the Beginning of Summer, come to Zherong to experience the beauty of the rice fields!

After the Beginning of Summer solar term, it is the best time for the growth of rice. At this time, the green rice seedlings all over the mountains and fields spread the fragrance of rice with the summer breeze to every corner of the mountains. Between these rolling hills, a thousand-acre terraced field unfolds like a scroll painting before your eyes---this place is Putou Village, located in the southeastern part of Huangbai Township. 🚗 Travel Guide Putou Village is located in the southeastern part of Huangbai Township, bordering Chuanmuyang Village to the north and Shuanggangyang Village to the south. Departing by car from Zherong County, and setting your destination to Putou Village in Huangbai Township, it takes about an hour to arrive. Attraction Recommendations Putou Terraces: Coming to Putou is like being in a pastoral painting among the mountains. 🍲 The Putou Terraces are connected to the Chuanmuyang Terraces above and below. According to legend, they were started at the end of the Tang Dynasty and have a history of more than 1100 years. They are one of the largest and most ancient Han Chinese cultivated ancient terraced field communities in the eastern Fujian area. On the mountains with slopes between 30 to 50 degrees, the farmland follows the contour lines, layer upon layer like steps. The fields are small and irregular, resembling the bamboo hats worn by farmers while working, locally known as 'Douli Hills,' a typical 'frog can jump over three hills' fragmented field pattern. The thousand-acre terraces and Putou Village are built along the mountain, with the terraced and staggered mountain dwellings blending together. Coupled with the local farmers' scenes of labor in this ancient and vibrant terraced field through spring planting, summer plowing, autumn harvesting, and winter sowing, a pastoral painting of mountain living is formed. This is also where the enduring cultural charm of the Putou Terraces has resided for a thousand years.
