Lianghe Soft Rice

Lianghe Soft Rice

　　Lianghe enjoys one of the best climates in the world — no severe cold in winter, no intense heat in summer, abundant rainfall, and distinct dry and wet seasons. These unique natural and ecological conditions are perfect for producing high-quality rice. In the beautiful Dai villages of Lianghe, the exceptionally favorable climate and natural surroundings give rise to an extraordinarily fragrant and soft rice. Its grains are slender, round, uniform, and plump, with clean, pearly white color. When rubbed between hands, the rice gives off a rich fragrance. The rice contains no additives and emits a strong aroma when cooked — soft, sticky, and delicious, with a softness level significantly higher than that of ordinary soft rice. The main production areas of Lianghe Soft Rice are located in the mountain-surrounded plains of Mangdong and Mengyang in Lianghe. The paddy fields here feature fertile soil, ample sunlight, and are naturally irrigated with mountain spring water, free from any industrial pollution. Every year, Dai girls who have married away return to their home villages to enjoy the new rice harvest and celebrate the bumper crop with their families.
