Gansu C position|Dongzhai Quinoa, harvesting fiery hope in the fields

This is the first time I have seen such a vast quinoa field, and the first time I knew that Jinchang on the Hexi Corridor, beyond the desolation and desolation of the Gobi, there is the romance and hope of quinoa. Dongzhai Town, Yongchang County, Gansu Province, the 'Hometown of Quinoa' that is rising on the Silk Road, when the autumn wind sweeps past, it is surging with fiery waves of wheat, and the air is filled with the smell of harvest. Each piece of quinoa field is a poem, definitely different from the simple and vicissitudes of wheat fields in Haizi's poems. It does not have the suffering and pain of wheat fields, all it has is brightness and brilliance, romance and dreams. In the distance are the continuous Qilian Mountains, and nearby is the endless quinoa field. After being amazed, I started to have fun in the quinoa field. The wind blows the wheat waves, and the quinoa comes to my face. I smell a burst of wheat fragrance. Although it is a fresh taste, it has the most initial touch. Since Quinoa settled in Dongzhai in 2016, it has quickly become a local specialty crop. At its peak, the planting area reached 10,000 mu, bringing a fiery harvest to Dongzhai. When I arrived in Dongzhai, it was autumn. Under the Qilian Mountains, it was fiery red, the most brilliant scenery, and the most unrestrained harvest. In the 'Hometown of Quinoa', I tasted quinoa for the first time. A bowl of quinoa pumpkin porridge has a unique taste and a faint nutty fragrance, which is enough to make the taste buds remember. However, its preciousness lies in its nutrition that surpasses most grains. 📷Hometown of Quinoa 📮Address: Dongzhai Town, Yongchang County, Jinchang City, Gansu Province, 10,000 mu of quinoa 💴Ticket: Free
