Tumd Left Banner has been welcoming autumn harvest season and local farmers are busy harvesting rice in the paddy fields. 

The land in Qiataiji village was once severely salinized, and became known as “the land of barrenness” among the local people. 

However, in recent years, the village has used modern agricultural technologies to improve the saline-alkali land, and cultivated organic rice suitable for the local environment.
