The spring breeze is gentle, and as it caresses my face, I arrive in Kunming, Yunnan, a city where flowers bloom in abundance. With the early spring, vast fields of golden rapeseed flowers burst into view, like a magnificent tapestry that intoxicates the senses. The first stop, I find myself in Kunming's Luosiwan rapeseed flower sea, strolling amidst the endless golden hues. The breeze blows, the sea of flowers sways, emitting a faint fragrance. Distant mountains and villages appear and disappear in the haze, creating a beautiful landscape. Here, I feel the breath of spring and my mood becomes exceptionally joyful. Next, I head to Dongchuan Red Land in Kunming, where not only the red soil is striking but also adorned with golden rapeseed flowers, presenting a uniquely beautiful scenery. The sunlight filters through the clouds, shining on the sea of flowers, making them glitter as if it were a golden ocean, captivating the heart. Finally, I arrive at Kunming's Cuihu (Green Lake) Park, an ideal place to admire the rapeseed flower sea. The lake water is crystal clear, surrounded by lush greenery, and the rapeseed flowers bloom right by the lake, reflecting in the water, a sight too beautiful for words. I find a corner to settle down quietly, listening to the wind and the birds, feeling the beauty of nature. In Kunming, Yunnan, the blooming rapeseed flowers fill the spring atmosphere, each sight a beautiful painting that makes one linger and forget to return. The spring sunshine warms the body, the breeze brushes the face, and the heart is filled with joy and gratitude. This trip has allowed me to rediscover Kunming and filled me with anticipation and hope for life. May the warm spring sun and the blooming rapeseed flowers always accompany us, so that we may always embrace our love for nature and feel the beauty and miracles of life.

One of the most beautiful spots in Dongchuan Red Land is Luoxiagou, and the most beautiful landscape of Luoxiagou is a highland that suddenly rises from the deep valley, with red soil terraces and villages on top, representing the most beautiful combination of culture and nature. However, it must be said that this village on the highland, named Datunzi, is somewhat 'unlucky.' It has become a part of the scenic area, yet the area's prosperity is unrelated to it: the overall view from above is beautiful, but once you enter, there is nothing to see. Without the need to visit the village, tourism cannot develop, and only curious self-driving tourists like us are willing to explore. In the end, it is the aerial drone footage that captures the most beautiful views. 🌹For those as curious as us Datunzi Village is 5.5 kilometers away from the Luoxiagou scenic area, the village is isolated, with no restaurants or accommodations, living a life of its own. Datunzi Village is surrounded by cliffs and deep valleys on three sides, relying on nothing but a single road that connects it to the outside world. The road is open but winding and narrow, making it very difficult to pass each other, and a slight mistake could lead to a fall down the mountain. The red soil land is highly dependent on weather and light conditions, looking different in sunny or cloudy weather, and in the morning or afternoon. The weather is clear, and the sunset is the most beautiful. The valley is often shrouded in fog, which limits the view from the observation deck; aerial photography is easily affected by strong winds, but offers a superior perspective. 🌹Conclusion Still, heed the advice of the Luoxiagou scenic area staff, going to the village is indeed not very appealing, if possible, just fly a drone.

Dongchuan Red Land is located in the northeast direction of Kunming City, Yunnan Province, and belongs to Dongchuan District of Kunming City. The main attractions are between 1800 and 2600 meters above sea level. Due to the high temperature and heavy rain in Dongchuan, Yunnan, the red soil has developed. This kind of soil contains more iron and aluminum, less organic matter, strong acidity, and heavy soil texture. If you catch up with September to December each year, some of the red land is turned over for planting, and the other part has already grown green barley, wheat and other crops. From a distance, it looks like a color block smeared by the sky, with colorful colors, set against the blue sky, white clouds and unpredictable light beams, forming a spectacular view of the red land. This will attract more photography enthusiasts and tourists to come and take pictures. There is a Pinus sylvestris tree growing in the scenic area, which belongs to the pine family. It is said to be thousands of years old. It has been dead for three years and has sprouted new buds. The local villagers call it the "Old Dragon Tree", blessing the local villagers. The main viewing and shooting locations are shown in the last picture.
