During Cold Dew, which began on Oct. 8 and is the 17th of 24 solar terms in the traditional Chinese calendar, more than 700 mu (around 115 acres) of colorful quinoa, which has been cultivated as part of an integrated agricultural and tourism landscape along the Daheihe River in Yuquan district, Hohhot city, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, has entered the maturation stage.

10月8日是二十四节气中的第十七个节气--寒露，在中国内蒙古自治区呼和浩特市玉泉区，五颜六色的藜麦进入成熟期，用鲜艳的色彩点缀大地。

The diverse varieties of quinoa ripen with extraordinarily vivid colors and shades of red, gold and purple, resembling a captivating oil painting created by nature.
