According to the designer of the rice paddy art, more than 66,000 square meters of land were cultivated, over which more than 50,000 coordinates were then designated via GPS based on pre-designed images. Finally the rice was planted manually in line with the coordinates.

The magnificent view can last from July to October when the rice will be ripe, the designer said.
