Hengshan rice is mainly produced in Hengshan Town, Qijiang District, with an altitude of 650-800 meters. The climate here is warmer than that of the general areas at the same altitude, and it is cooler than that of hills and flat dams. The temperature difference between day and night is smaller, which prolongs the filling and ripening period of rice, increases the content of dextrin and dendrimer, and has no high temperature and heat phenomenon.
