Gaoping terraced fields, also known as Qianqiu field, are located in Lin’e Town, Gaoping Village. As a rare and well-preserved large-scale farmland facility, Gaoping terraced field was listed as the key cultural relic protection units of Qianjiang District in 2011. The area of terraced fields is about 1120 acres with an altitude of 730 to 1000 meters, 1500 meters from north to south, 300 to 500 meters from east to west. It starts from the Gaojia Mountain, down to the Shenxi River and back on the Huiqianliang Primeval Forest, forming a spectacular landscape with layer upon layer.

In recent days, the heavy rain comes to all over Qianjiang and moistens the dry fields. Overlooking from the air, the cascade of terraced fields connected with the pond, streams, roads and residential buildings, outlines a vibrant rural landscape.
