Dongchuan Red Land

Some praise the Dongchuan Red Land as a "colorful rainbow that has fallen to earth"🌈, and I have always longed to visit. Finally, the trip was made, but the planning was not well done, and I ended up taking a huge detour. Now I have organized the details to help everyone avoid the same mistakes. First of all, I recommend staying in accommodations within the Red Land scenic area. You can observe the changes throughout the day as the color of the land changes with the light. Next, pay attention to the route. It is recommended to go directly from Kunming to the Red Land scenic area. 📍Location advantage: The inn is located near the Wa Fang Liang Zi area in the Red Land scenic area. Facing a vast expanse of the Red Land landscape, it is definitely the best choice. 🚗Transportation strategy: Be sure to note that there are many routes to reach the Red Land Northwest line | Northeast line | South line | The route from Kunming city center is the closest. Of course, you can also go from Dongchuan County, but the road conditions are not as good as the direction from Kunming. 🌟Highlights: Staying at the inn, no matter which popular spot you go to, it's especially close, less than a ten-minute drive. The first place I recommend is 【Music Score Hollow】, where the internet-famous old man leads his sheep🐑, and he is there every day, happy to take photos with tourists. If you have a little money, just give him a little. Next, I recommend 【Thousand-Year-Old Dragon Tree】, the filming location of the movie 🎥 "Forever Young". Even if you're not a movie fan, it's worth a visit. The old tree is very distinctive, and standing under it, you can't help but feel a sense of awe. There are also 【Snail Bend】, 【Sunset Gully】, 【Colorful Slope】, 【Brocade Garden】, 【Moon Field】, etc. If you stay for one day, you can basically visit all of them. ⛱️Hotel environment: The inn has a fresh farmhouse courtyard, and basically, each room has a viewing balcony facing east. Friends who get up early can enjoy the sunrise in the east🌄, and watch the entire process of the Red Land changing from dark to light. The inn's own firewood chicken is worth a try. The chicken is tender, and the braised flavor is acceptable even for children. You can also stick a circle of corn cakes around the pot, cover it with a tall straw hat lid, and the aroma is enticing. 💰Average cost: Accommodation is about ¥200 per day, and prices will rise during holidays. The price of meals is also around ¥300. 📌Practical tips: The temperature in the Red Land is much lower than in the city, and even in May, you need to wear a jacket in the morning and evening. The inn has air conditioning, and you need to turn on the heating at night to sleep comfortably.
