Photos: O.M.G: Fact............You Need To See!!!

Welcome to the town where the streets are paved with rice.  

While it may in fact appear to be something of a 'golden road', this street has in fact been completely covered in rice as it is left out to dry.

The farmers raked tonnes of shelled rice across an 800-metre section of the road in the small town of Mingda in southwest China's Chongqing following a harvest of the grain. 

Judging by these pictures however, the farmers were hardly concerned as motorists drove over the grains while going about their daily business.

While it may not seem the most hygienic or safest way to dry out the rice, the sight of the grain being left out on the road is not all that uncommon in China.

According to one travel blog, farmers don't mind vehicles driving on the road, as the draft caused by the passing vehicles blows away the lightweight husk which has detached itself from the grain, leaving the rice in place.

So THAT'S why rice can taste rubbery!!!!
