It's currently harvest season for chili peppers in Dafang County of Bijie, southwest China's Guizhou Province. Locals are taking advantage of the sunny weather to pick, transport, weave, and dry the peppers, creating a picturesque scene of early autumn abundance in the fields and around their homes.

Dafang has a long history of chili pepper cultivation. The region's climate and soil conditions are ideal for growing peppers. Peppers here, especially "wrinkled peppers," are known for their thick flesh, bright red color, moderate spiciness, and rich aroma. In 2008, the China National Food Industry Association (CNFIA) designated Dafang as the "Hometown of Wrinkled Peppers."

Dafang wrinkled pepper products have not only been popular in China's domestic market for many years but have also been exported to Japan, South Korea, and other Asian countries since the 1950s, earning a high reputation.
