Early in the morning we set off for another historic village - again it's closed for business and the local police turn us away.

We head off to see Jianglin hills - a famous picture perfect postcard spot in China. The area has lots of terraced farming here - and is famous in spring for what Wikipedia tells me is officially called
Brassica Napus, but which normally goes by the far sexier name of
rape.

The problem is the farmers don't want to grow the flowers because they're pretty much useless to them, but the local government want them planted because they bring in the tourists.
Sadly it's the wrong season for
rape, so there was only a token field for the tourists, but after a short walk up the hill, the Jianglin hills still put on a spectacular show.

Speaking of rape, I was on holiday with my family in England in 2003. One day we were driving through the countryside and I kept seeing all these brilliant golden flowers in the fields we passed.
ReplyDeleteMe: What's that plant?
Mum: I think it's rape.
Everyone: [....]
Me: That's highly inappropriate.
Everyone: [lolz]
