The photo, taken on June 9, shows a “transforming dry land into paddy field” project area at Maopingtou Village, Lengshui Town, Ningyuan County. This area was once abandoned farmland or dry land, and has been transformed into a high-standard square paddy field with connected tracks and ditches.

In recent years, the local authority has been boosting abandoned farmland management. More than 10,000 mu of dry and abandoned farmlands have been transformed into paddy fields, which helped increase grain output and farmers’ income. (Photo/Le Shuiwang)
