Golden rice fields paint autumn landscape in E China's Anhui

Photo taken on Oct. 31, 2026, shows a winding rural road connecting villages and rice fields in Tangchi Township, Lujiang County, Hefei City, east China's Anhui Province. A vast expanse of late-season single-cropping rice has turned golden, spreading across the countryside like a golden carpet and creating a picturesque scene of autumn harvest.
