Photo taken on June 5 captures a stunning summer scene across the vast high-standard farmland in the southern Yellow River beach area of Mengzhou, a county-level city under Jiaozuo, Central China's Henan province. The day marked Mangzhong, or Grain in Ear, the ninth solar term on the Chinese lunar calendar. With the wheat harvest already completed and land preparation underway for sowing, the fields formed a mesmerizing patchwork of crisscrossing paths and vibrant colors, showcasing the grandeur of the season.
