In the Colorful Rice Park of the village of Qiaoting, Chi’an Town, Yiwu, over 67,000 square meters of colored rice fields are now available to visit. The words “science and technology promote agriculture, and machinery promotes agriculture” and the images of the two historical figures Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, a tractor, and other patterns are “drawn” by rice.

Feng Xiangwei, a major grain farmer, said that colorful rice has purple, yellow, black, white, and other colors. The rice was planted in mid-June this year and will be beautiful to view until October. People can enjoy the view by climbing up the sightseeing tower near the fields. The colorful rice fields, together with the surrounding lotus pond, windmills and walkways, rice-fish-farming system, and other landscapes, have become a popular tourist attraction.
