Qianduo Rapeseed Fields
千垛景区
The core scenic area of Xinghua's duotian (raised-field) landscape, where hundreds of raised fields float on water. In the flowering season, golden rapeseed blooms mix with clear water, earning it the saying “Rivers wind through a thousand bends of clear water; every field-mound blooms golden with rapeseed.”
Duotian are raised fields that early settlers of the Lixiahe region created by piling up soil in marshes. Xinghua's duotian have been listed among the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems. The Qianduo scenic area is the most concentrated cluster of them. Rapeseed flowers bloom from late March to early April every year. You can climb an observation deck to look down on the “Thousand Islands of Rapeseed Flowers,” or take a small boat through the waterways between the mounds. The Xinghua Rapeseed Flower Festival is held during the same period, and crowds are large. Admission and boat fees follow the scenic area's announcements. The area is about 10-odd km from Xinghua city, and special tourist buses run during the flowering season.
