Farmers in Zhangzhou, Fujian province, are staying busy transplanting rice seedlings because June is the time for the later crop.

In terraced fields surrounded by mountains, farmers in Shijing village in Hulin township of Hua'an county, are plowing and planting.

The newly prepared terraces are like chains and belts in distinct layers, forming beautiful pastoral scenes.
