Guojiawan's terraced rice is renowned for its "fragrance, glutinous texture, softness, and natural sweetness." First designated as "tribute rice" by the imperial court during the Qing Dynasty's Qianlong era, it boasts a nearly 300-year history. In recent years, the village has leveraged this prestigious brand to build a comprehensive tribute rice industry chain.
