Beautiful Countryside in Kaifu District

The photo, taken on December 3, shows flocks of egrets playing and foraging in ponds and fields or circling and dancing in the air above Shuangtang Village, Shaping Neighborhood, Kaifu District, Changsha City. In recent years, the village has unswervingly pursued mutual promotion and integration of beautiful and livable village construction and industrial development, transferring paddy fields and fish ponds in a centralized manner, and building an ecological breeding base featuring comprehensive cultivation of continuous paddy rice and crayfish. Thanks to these efforts, a beautiful and harmonious ecological picture has been created. (Photo/Tian Chao and Chen Xin, Hunan Daily)
