China's iconic rice fields gleam in gold as National Day tourism peaks

00:19

China's National Day holiday makers flocked to Chongyi County in Jiangxi Province for a glimpse of its ancient terraced rice fields.

Bathed in morning light, the thousand-year-old Shangbao Hakka terraces shimmer in gold as the rice ripens for the harvest, stretching layer upon layer across the mountainsides.

Local farmers say a bumper harvest is expected this year, while the village's "ecology plus tourism"model is turning the iconic scenery into a steady source of income in a boost to the country's rural revitalization.
