The terraces in Wushan county of Tianshui, Gansu province, recently received a dusting of April snow. Green rice seedlings can be seen bursting through the snow, forming a poetic landscape.

The spring snow is melting to reveal the awakened soil.

The magnificent terraces are the source of granaries and the imprint of Gansu's farming culture.
