Raised-fields is a unique precious agricultural cultural heritage in XingHua region, located in the hinterland of LiXia River of the middle of JiangSu Province. Raised fields are artificial platforms of soil built by local ancients through excavating canals in the marshlands, such as island, which are highly productive and charming scenery. Raised fields were created to protect crops from flooding, adapted to rapid population growth under the circumstances of violent changed eco-logical environment, nearly 600 years ago.
