This year marks the fourth Farmers' Harvest Festival – which was also the first to be held since the law on the promotion of rural vitalization was adopted by the national legislature in April.

On Sept 23, farmers in the Liandu district – administered by Lishui city in East China's Zhejiang province – celebrated this year's Farmers' Harvest Festival with various fun and exciting activities.

Let's experience the joys of the harvest through this set of photos:
