Harvest time for chrysanthemums in Xinghua city

In October, with the arrival of autumn, some 355 mu (23.67 hectares) of chrysanthemums are now in full bloom in Daying town, in Xinghua – a county-level city administered by Taizhou city, in East China's Jiangsu province – and that means it's harvest time.

This year, the average profit per mu is expected to be about 4,500 yuan ($675).

The fields are now a hive of activity, as farmers seize the opportunity brought by the sunny weather to bring in the chrysanthemums. [Photo/js.people.cn]
