*National Geographic* says this is where spring wakes up first in China.

💡Trip Highlights ▫Wander through the world's largest canola flower field and become the heroine of an oil painting. ▫Eat freshly picked bamboo rice in a Buyi village. ▫Encounter the perfect match of karst landforms and waterfalls. ▫Enjoy the empty viewing platform at 6 a.m. 🚗Hidden 3-Day, 2-Night Itinerary (including hidden photo spots) Day 1: Kunming → Luoping (2.5-hr drive) •Head straight to Jinji Peak in the afternoon! Navigate to the small road next to the "Canola Flower Main Venue." •Go to Luosi Fields at dusk to photograph "God's fingerprint" (must bring a drone). •Stay overnight in a tent in the flower fields and watch the starry sky (book in advance!). Day 2: Jiulong Waterfalls → Duoyi River •Get up early and rush to the Jiulong Waterfalls! Viewing Platform No. 10 is perfect for capturing rainbows. •Take a bamboo raft on the Duoyi River in the afternoon (Buyi grandmothers weave flower garlands for CNY 5/each). •Enjoy a long table banquet in the village at night (five-color rice dipped in honey is amazing). Day 3: Baila Mountain → Taiye Lake → Return •Go up the mountain at 5:30 a.m. to watch the sunrise and sea of clouds (bring a flashlight! The steps are very slippery). •Take Hanfu-style photos at Taiye Lake (the Nine-Hole Bridge is a legendary photo spot). •Buy freshly smoked bacon as a souvenir (from Aunt Wang's stall in the second row of the farmers' market). 📸Tips for Taking Great Photos ✔Light-colored clothing + ethnic-style shawl = the perfect outfit for canola flower fields. ✔Take photos of the flower fields half an hour before sunrise for a natural soft light filter. ✔Use a telephoto lens at Luosi Fields to capture the "fingerprint of the earth." ✔Turn your phone upside down to capture reflections on the water at Duoyi River. Three days in Luoping is like falling into a Van Gogh painting. As the ox cart slowly rolls over the golden flower path, you suddenly understand the romantic visualization of "a cheerful heart makes a quick horse."💫
