Following weeks of baptism in this year’s rainy season, over the last two days, the rain has finally begun to relent in the East Rift Valley (台東縱谷). Thanks to the extensive rice fields and undulating mountains of Chishang (池上), the area is bathed in an ocean of greens and blues, the drifting clouds of the eastern Haian Mountain Range (海岸山脈) forming a breathtaking pastoral scene.
Recently, however, newly formed rice tassels began abnormally displaying signs of yellowing; evidence that rice blast is attacking the crops. Another year of failed harvests will no doubt be a source of great dismay for Chishang rice farmers.
