In September, Tiesuoguan Town, Ningqiang County, had a bumper harvest of grains, and the rice was fragrant. At the event site of Kawada Tourist Resort, there was a festive and peaceful festival atmosphere. The local people put carefully prepared programs on the stage one by one, celebrating the harvest and welcoming guests in the joyful singing and dancing.
The following wonderful activities were carried out after the harvest ceremony. The people of each village actively formed teams and successively carried out interesting events such as "transporting grain by wheelbarrow", "peeling corn kernels with bare hands", "harvesting rice", "tug-of-war on the beach" and "fishing in troubled waters". The event site was crowded, shouting and cheering were endless, and laughter and frolicking came and went. As today's star team, the Golden Harvest team has gained a lot. Zhang Yuanwu, the leader of the Golden Harvest Team, said with a smile: "It is a great honor to win the championship in the harvest festival, and I would like to thank the party committees and governments at all levels for organizing this event and building such a good platform for our farmers to participate; Secondly, this activity made me feel the strength of the team, and everyone worked together to win the championship; Finally, I will take this honor to contribute more and more to the revitalization of rural areas and agricultural development in my hometown."
Farming competitions are fun
Here, the agricultural competition is passionately staged, and on the other side, the harvest collection market is also crowded and lively. Walking into the bazaar, you can see rows of neat agricultural products, cultural and creative products exhibition and sales booths, fungus, gastrodia, tea, Qiang weaving, Qiang embroidery, Qiang wheat straw painting and other Ningqiang special products are dazzling.
