The 2nd Zhiying Shaiqiu Culture Festival kicked off in Zhiying Ancient Town in Yongkang, a county-level city in Jinhua, Zhejiang province, on Oct 27 and will run until Nov 10.
Shaiqiu, or "drying crops in autumn sunshine", is a rural tradition in which farmers will sun-dry their produce such as corn, pumpkin, hot chili peppers and chrysanthemum flowers in bamboo baskets placed on the roofs of their houses.
Tourists can also savor various snacks in the ancient town, which has a history of more than 1,000 years.
