Farmers build scarecrow zoo amongst rapeseed fields (1/7)

Farmers create a scarecrow “zoo” amongst their fields, using straw to create vivid and lifelike models of sheep, horses, chickens, and images of traditional rural culture, such as waterwheels and marriage, in Wuyuan, East China’s Jiangxi province. From the middle of March, the county is set to come alive as fields of rapeseed flowers blossom, creating a golden blanket over the stunning countryside. Many tourists and photographers are attracted to the area each year to experience the magical scenes, which last for around one month. (Photo: China News Service/Wei Wensheng)
