Mid-spring brings Congjiang's terraces to life with vibrant colors

In Congjiang county, Guizhou province, the arrival of mid-spring brings the mountain terraces to life, transforming each flooded field into a shimmering mirror with sharp lines and vibrant colors.

Farmers in the field race against the planting window, digging, harrowing, and setting out young seedlings.

Surrounded by emerald hills and dotted with Miao villages, the terraces gently shift hues as sunlight dances across their flooded steps.
