Nestled on a 100-meter-tall mountain cliff, Huangling village in Wuyuan County, east China's Jiangxi Province, is a picturesque village with a history of nearly 600 years. Due to the rugged terrain, villagers have developed a unique custom of drying agricultural crops on the crossbeams sticking out from the rooftop, which is also known as "shaiqiu" in inChinese.
Traditionally, newly harvested crops of various colors such as chili pepper, corn and rice are put in big bamboo baskets and then placed on the hanging drying ground in autumn. This way, crops can be dried and preserved for winter.
Today, the custom is not limited to autumn, villagers dry tea leaves in spring and eggplants and beans in summer, turning the village into a huge color palette with changing colors according to seasons. #ChinaSeen #copied #Nirclecommunity
