Have you ever seen rooftops bursting with colors like a rainbow? 🌈 In Huangling Village, nestled in Jiangxi Province, China, that’s exactly what happens every autumn! The villagers have a special tradition called “shai qiu”, which means “drying crops in the sun.”
After the harvest, they lay out bright red peppers, golden rice, yellow corn, and soybeans in big round bamboo baskets. These baskets are placed on rooftops and in courtyards, turning the whole village into a giant, colorful collage!
This not only creates a breathtaking scene but also helps preserve the food for the winter months. Drying the crops in the sun keeps them tasty and safe to eat later on. Isn’t it amazing how they combine work with beauty?
Imagine walking through the village with the warm sun above and all those vibrant colors around you. It’s like stepping into a real-life painting! Would you like to visit a place like this someday? 🌞
