Drinking honey tea, we made our way to the small farm.
Passing by the farmland, we saw a field of rice, green with hints of yellowing, enclosed by a wooden fence.
In the outside stone channel, clear water flowed silently, presenting a beautiful rural pastoral scene.
Yan Ganghui curiously asked, "Oh, do they grow rice in the zoo too?"
Rice is planted in spring and takes four months to mature.
Now, more than two months have passed, and the plants are thriving, having reached the ear-shooting stage.
A vast expanse of rice swayed gently in the breeze, allowing glimpses of slightly immature pale yellow ears hanging among the green leaves.
The grains were plump and brimming with life, a sight that brought joy to the onlooker.
By July, the ears of rice would turn a beautiful golden color, ready to be harvested.
