In autumn, Huangling spreads its abundant harvest across its hillside village. Drying poles project from beneath the eaves of village houses climbing the hillside. Red peppers, golden corn and chrysanthemum flowers fill bamboo trays, adding splashes of color to the old village. Warm sunlight falls softly over the village as a gentle autumn breeze carries the quiet warmth of everyday life. Distant mountains stand serene as scenes of autumn harvest unfold across the village. For a taste of autumn in the Jiangnan region (the southern regions of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River), come to Huangling and experience its lively yet gentle tradition of autumn harvest drying.
