- In the highlands of western Hupeh, the paddy fields are concentrated in low and gentle valleys. The average percentage in Hsuan-en, Hsien-feng and Lai-feng hsien is still over 40 percent. However, the land of most of the other hsien in this region has steep slopes, the cultivated land is poorly scattered and irrigation is difficult. Consequently, in these hsien, only about 10 percent of the area is devoted to paddy fields.
