Xinghua Duotian Agrosystem. GIAHS Proposal for the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) Initiative
Xinghua Duotian Agrosystem is a world-level wonder for its unique water-land utilization method in low-lying land and its splendid raised field landscape. Raised fields are formed on the basis of wetlands, with different sizes and shapes. They are surrounded by water and they look like small islets drifting on the sea. Thus, people call Xinghua as "the city with thousand islets". The scenery is especially beautiful when rape flowers are in bloom during the Qingming festival. There are over 40 Km 2 raised fields in Xinghua city, which is located in Duotian Town, Ganggu Town, Lizhong Town, Xijiao Town and Zhoufen Town, forming a unique landscape.
