Welcome to the town where the streets are paved with rice.
While
it may in fact appear to be something of a 'golden road', this street
has in fact been completely covered in rice as it is left out to dry.
The
farmers raked tonnes of shelled rice across an 800-metre section of the
road in the small town of Mingda in southwest China's Chongqing
following a harvest of the grain.
Judging
by these pictures however, the farmers were hardly concerned as
motorists drove over the grains while going about their daily business.
While
it may not seem the most hygienic or safest way to dry out the rice,
the sight of the grain being left out on the road is not all that
uncommon in China.
According to one travel blog,
farmers don't mind vehicles driving on the road, as the draft caused by
the passing vehicles blows away the lightweight husk which has
detached itself from the grain, leaving the rice in place.
