Recently the Huayao terraced field is blanketed by golden rice paddies in Shanbei Village, Gezhuping Town, Xupu County, Huaihua City. A bunch of terraced fields on the hillside present a beautiful picture of a bumper harvest. Huayao celebrations of 2022 Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival were held in the terraced fields.

Villagers dressed in ethnic costumes and tourists participated in various competitions such as threshing, fish catching, and tug-of-war in paddy fields, and cultural performances. They shared the joy of harvest and helped boost the development of Xuefeng Mountain's cultural tourism industry and rural revitalization.
