Renting a field in the suburbs and cultivating crops at weekends has become popular with many people in Shanghai.

Starting from this year, farmers in suburban areas of Shanghai, such as Nanhui, Fengxian and Jinshan districts, have rented their fields to urbanites.

During the previous four months, about 100 people have rented a total 33 hectares of fields. They monitor the situation on the Internet.
