Show this to your driverZhefang: the 'tribute rice' plain turns gold in autumn
Zhefang town, Mangshi
Zhefang is the farming town on the G320 between Mangshi and Ruili, bordering Ruili and Myanmar, and its valley floor is wall-to-wall rice paddy. Its rice was sent to the Ming court as tribute and became a protected geographical-indication product in 2013. A well-known western Yunnan saying lists 'Zhefang rice' alongside Xiaguan's wind and Longling's rain among the region's famous features. In autumn the plain turns gold before the harvest, and the paddies around villages such as Hunong are at their most photogenic.
What locals sayLocals are proud of Zhefang rice; for visitors it's a pretty stop on the Ruili road and a bag of rice, not a full day out.
