A bountiful lotus root harvest is underway along the Yellow River in Yongji City, north China's Shanxi Province. Local farmers are diligently digging up over 600 hectares of the crop. Wading into the river, they use high-pressure water guns to carefully extract the fresh lotus roots from the mud. Known for their tender texture and slightly sweet flavor when cooked, these lotus roots are in high demand in cities across China.
