Dongchuan Red Land

There are many red soils in eastern Yunnan, but the scale is so large, it may be this. Especially in the Damakan, Jinxiuyuan, Luoxiagou, and Lepuao blocks, looking down from the bottom is really shocking. I came here many times in December and March, and every time I could feel the quiet and open beauty of colors. If there is a shortcoming, the black sheds for growing Panax notoginseng are gradually climbing up and have a tendency to spread. Of course, it is understandable that ordinary people transfer land and grow cash crops. Beauty always gives way to survival.

The "Dongchuan Red Soil" scenic area is located north-east of Kunming City and belongs to Hongtudi Town under the jurisdiction of Dongchuan District, Kunming City.

The journey from Kunming to "Dongchuan Red Land" is about 250 kilometers, and the main attractions are located between 1800 and 2600 meters above sea level. The reason why this place got its name is because of the red soil that was nurtured under the high temperature and heavy rain in Dongchuan, Yunnan. This soil contains more iron and aluminum, less organic matter, strong acidity, and heavy soil. The area of ​​nearly 100 miles here is the most concentrated, most typical, and most distinctive red land in Yunnan Province. The blue sky, white clouds and the ever-changing light form the unique and spectacular scenery of the red land.

The "Dongchuan Red Land" is located in the mountains of the plateau. You must first climb to a high place and then look down to see the villages and terraces in the valley. Since there are no crops to grow in the current solar term, the terraces show their most primitive state, with layers of reddish-brown colors that stretch as far as the eye can see.

It’s just that I had visited the Yuanyang Hani Terraces a few days ago, and apart from the difference in red and green colors, the two places feel more or less similar, so I didn’t feel particularly excited to see the Dongchuan red soil today.

The above is the report.

Yunnan is located in a warm and humid environment. The soil here is rich in iron, which is slowly deposited after oxidation, gradually forming dazzling colors. The area of ​​Dongchuan with a radius of nearly 100 miles is the most concentrated, typical and distinctive red soil in Yunnan. It is also considered by experts to be the most imposing red soil in the world except Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and its scenery is even more magnificent than the red soil in Brazil. Against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, the layered colored lines make you feel that the beauty is too unreal.

The Red Land is named after the Dongchuan District in Kunming. The area of ​​100 miles is the most concentrated, typical and distinctive red land on the Yunnan Red Land Plateau. The soil is rich in iron, aluminum and other components, which makes the earth have dazzling colors; the blue sky, white clouds and ever-changing light form the spectacular scenery of the Red Land. By the way, we have to add rain, because it rained when I went there and I almost failed to go. But it is precisely because of the baptism of rain that the color of the earth is more vivid, the clouds are more ethereal, and the light and shadow are more fantastic... Climbing high and stopping, looking far away, the mountains are undulating and colorful, which is definitely a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Dongchuan Red Land is therefore considered to be the most imposing red land in the world except Brazil, and its scenery is even more magnificent than the Brazilian red land.

In Kunming, we rented a car again and drove to Dongchuan Red Land Scenic Area on the first day, 150 kilometers. The innkeeper said, "You drive for 4 hours by yourself. The road is not easy to drive. Don't follow the navigation route." The actual situation is that the road conditions are very good, and Gaode navigation is quite accurate. The old driver has no problem in 3 hours. Dongchuan Red Land, God's palette overturned in China, is said to be comparable to the red land in Brazil, but all the way I felt that there were so many clouds in the sky that they almost covered the sky. It seems that there will be no good movies today. At 2 pm, I arrived at Huashitou Village, Hongtu Town, which is the most concentrated place for red land. Before sunset, I rushed back to Luosiwan to take pictures of the old stars, and then went to Wafangliangzi to watch the sunset. Sure enough, the sun was covered by clouds today. Although December is the season when the soil has just been turned over, without the help of light, the colors are not bright enough.

Dongchuan Red Land Scenic Area is located in Hongtu Town, Dongchuan District, north-east of Kunming City. The soil in Dongchuan area contains more iron and aluminum, less organic matter, strong acidity, heavy soil, and high temperature and rainy climate conditions, which has led to the development of red soil. The area of ​​nearly 100 miles here is the most concentrated, typical and distinctive red soil on the Yunnan Red Soil Plateau. From September to December every year, part of the red soil is turned over and waiting to be planted, while the other part of the red soil has been planted with green barley, corn, sorghum or other crops. From a distance, it looks like a color block painted by the sky, with gorgeous colors, blue sky, white clouds and the ever-changing light beams, forming a spectacular scenery of the red soil. Experts believe that it is the most imposing red soil in the world except Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and its scenery is even more magnificent than the red soil in Brazil. In recent years, Dongchuan Red Land has become a paradise favored by photography, self-driving and outdoor enthusiasts.

This is also a place I have never heard of before. I know about Yunnan red soil, but has it become a tourist attraction? Only after appreciating it, I deeply admired that this is indeed a colorful painting created by God. Of course, I also have to thank the old master who promoted this place.

During this recuperation trip, we visited some niche attractions around Kunming, Yunnan. The highlight of the trip was definitely the Dongchuan Red Soil, which was absolutely stunning!



It is said that only the Brazilian red soil can be compared with it in the whole world. The iron in the soil has been slowly precipitated over thousands of years. The locals have cultivated this land meticulously, forming a unique and splendid place. This is the Dongchuan Red Soil in Yunnan, which is known as the palette in God's hands and the kaleidoscope of thousands of colors under the Sichuan dome.



We were on a tour group, so the route was to take a bus and go wherever the driver took us. After half a day, our conclusion was to see this red land from different angles on the mountain.



Dongchuan Red Land is located north-east of Kunming, and belongs to Xintian Township under Dongchuan District of Kunming. It is about 250 kilometers by car from Kunming to the scenic area. The main attractions are distributed between 1,800 and 2,600 meters above sea level. The main landscapes include Qicai Slope, Jinxiu Garden, Luoxiagou, Luoshuiwan, Lepuao, etc.

Dongchuan Red Land is a popular photography base, more than three hours' drive from Kunming. Due to the long drive and inconvenient transportation, I chose a one-day tour and joined a one-day tour led by a local native tour guide. We gathered at Kunming Railway Station in the morning. There were eight of us in a business car. The weather was cloudy that day, so we didn't see the most beautiful side. We officially arrived at the Red Land after eleven o'clock. At that time, a few rays of sunshine were revealed among the clouds, and I thought the sun should be out in the afternoon.



Along the way, we took a short break at the first viewing platform. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and we could hardly stand, so we didn't stay for too long and left to the next small scenic spot. The old man who had appeared on the National Geographic magazine no longer worked as a model. He was resting at home. Now his descendants have taken over. When the old man saw the arrival of tourists, he still insisted on sitting in the strong wind, holding the golden sheep, for everyone to take pictures. When we finished taking pictures and left, the old man stood up and walked to the rest point at the bottom of the hill to wade down. It seems that he is very dedicated.

Looking around, the mountains and plains are covered in different shades of red, such as dark red, purple red, brick red, etc. Rapeseed flowers and potato flowers are blooming on hilltops and slopes of all sizes within a radius of hundreds of miles. The golden wheat waves are rolling like green waves under the cool mountain breeze, with a layer of green, a layer of white, a layer of red, and a layer of gold. Here, the rapeseed flowers are all white.

The sun is shining brightly, the sky is becoming more and more blue, the clouds are changing their postures, the light and shadows cast on the fields are constantly changing, and every second is a new picture.

The figures of farmers working in the fields, every move is like art, no, they are creating art. Watching the colorful blocks gradually form and slowly change in their hands, how magical!

Damakan, Qicaipo, Jinxiutianyuan, Lepuao, Shenshu, Luoxiagou. These scenic spots are relatively scattered, and there is no mobile phone signal outside the village. Red land in September!

Dongchuan Red Land is located in the north-east direction of Kunming City, and belongs to the Red Land Town under the jurisdiction of Dongchuan District, Kunming City. It takes about 250 kilometers to reach the scenic spot center from Kunming. The main attractions are between 1800 and 2600 meters above sea level. Magical land, very beautiful!

Dongchuan Red Land is considered by experts to be the most imposing red land in the world except Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and its scenery is more magnificent than that of Brazil. The best months for photography are January, May, September, and November, when there are more blocks of color. If you can see the snow in early January, it is also possible.

Poetry and the distance, the further you go, the more panic you feel. . .



Although it was not the most ideal season, I still felt it was so magnificent when I saw the "color palette" I had been thinking about! This is a paradise for photography enthusiasts. The photos taken with mobile phones are beautiful, but you will be more shocked when you see it with your own eyes! When I went there, the infrastructure was already being built. I really don't want such a place that is not very popular to be discovered... Hurry up and take a look before it is commercially developed!



(It is most beautiful after the rain. The flowers are not in bloom at this time. My friend went there for the second time and said it is most beautiful in September.)

It is definitely worth going. It is said that August to September and December to May are better seasons.

It's a very beautiful place. It was worth the trip to visit during the National Day this year.

It would be more beautiful if you go later.

It looks very beautiful from a distance, but the journey is quite tiring! It is worth a visit!

Bright colors collide here, the red soil, green crops, blue sky and white clouds are incredibly beautiful

Dongchuan Red Land Scenic Area is currently free of charge. There are Luoxiagou, Damakan, Jinxiuyuan, Qicaipo, Qiannian Laolongshu, Wafangliangzi, Lepuao and other scenic spots scattered in various places. The distance between each scenic spot is not too far, so you need to drive to get there. Most scenic spots have parking lots, but generally there are no public toilets.

It is a very distinctive scenic spot with fascinating layers of red. The entire scenic spot is free and the various small attractions are not far apart, making it convenient for self-driving tours.

I recommend you go in May or June, when there are greens (vegetables) and yellows (wheat).

There is not much scenery at other times, just a sea of ​​red.

It’s quite famous, a paradise for photography enthusiasts!

Hongjingxuan, photography reception center, welcome very beautiful scenery

It is very unique, and the key is that there is no entrance fee. But there are no signs along the way, so it is very easy to walk. The folk customs in Tianluogou area are poor, and people are everywhere asking for money to enclose the land. It costs five yuan to take a photo, and it costs money to park a car. Even standing next to the farmhouse will dare to ask you for money. It is estimated that in two years, there will be charges everywhere, so it is better to go early. In addition, the wind in the scenic area is very strong, so pay attention to windbreak and keep warm.

It is highly recommended for photography enthusiasts. But it is a bit tiring to go back and forth in one day.

The Wind of Dongchuan

I will never forget Dongchuan because I was blown away by the wind there.

I read other people's comments, and they all talked about the colors of Dongchuan, but almost no one talked about the wind there. It is hard to imagine that such a strong wind is not in the Gobi Desert or the grassland, but in this red land. Yunnan is mild in winter, but Dongchuan is violent in winter because there is wind, huge wind.

Damakan, Lepuao, Luoxiagou, I still remember those beautiful names, but what I can't forget is the wind evil there. I started blinking my eyes crazily that night, and then I couldn't move the left side of my face. I went back to Shanghai for acupuncture for a month and a half. During that painful period, my eyes were open when I slept at night, and I had to close them manually every time. The most unforgettable thing was eating rice noodles. I lost the ability to chew on the left side, so I ate one mouthful and spit out two mouthfuls. Then I saw the little girl sitting opposite me silently took out her phone and WeChated her mother, saying that a weird uncle was drooling at her, and asked her mother to pick her up later.

From then on, every time I eat rice noodles, I can taste the Dongchuan flavor in the soup.

I had heard before that the Dongchuan Red Land was very beautiful and spectacular, so I specially invited friends to take a 2-day tour to the Red Land. The colors of the fields change very richly, it is worth a visit, it is particularly beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and we had a lot of fun.

It's so beautiful. It's worth driving three hours from Kunming. It's so beautiful.

If you haven't been to the Great Wall, you are not a true man. It would be a pity if you haven't eaten Dongchuan potatoes. It's the potato season again. The authentic Dongchuan flowering potatoes are fragrant, glutinous and delicious. It's really nice to eat these flowering potatoes in this colorful red land.

China-TravelNote said that the Dongchuan Red Soil is called the palette left by God on earth.

When you arrive, you will see the beautiful scenery, which is different from what we usually see. All the tiredness will be worth it at this moment. Surprise!

There are several slopes in the Red Land, including the Colorful Cloud Slope and other slopes, which are all beautiful photo spots, but they are a bit far away. Friends who stay overnight can take a leisurely stroll. If you have friends going there later, it is recommended to charter a car or stay overnight in the Red Land, so that you can also see the sunrise and sunset. It is said to be another beautiful visual feast. I want to go to the Red Land again.

This red land is really a palette overturned by God. It is so beautiful that the whole family does not want to leave. We will definitely come again next time. The red land has good scenery, natural ecology, and good air quality. Along the way, we looked for the thousand-year-old dragon tree in "Ask the East and the West", saw the red soil terraces in Luoxiagou, passed through countless ethnic minority villages, and walked in the mountains.

At this time, red soil is the worst season. Villagers said that in March and April, when they start sowing and all the soil is exposed, and the soil is redder after the spring rain, it is the best season. All the masters carried their cannons to take pictures. The photos are all red. It is really shocking to see the masters taking pictures. There are crops now, so it is the off-season. But we still saw it, especially when we drove to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset, it was really beautiful.

The most beautiful season for the red soil should be after September and October, when the crops in the fields are ripe and the land has richer colors such as golden, green, and red. Since we are just passing by, we don't have such high requirements and just see what is available.

It takes more than three hours to drive from Kunming. The scenery on the road is also beautiful and worth a visit, but the camera cannot capture the beauty you see with your own eyes. As soon as I arrived at the Red Land, I saw the Internet celebrity old man and his dog. I also went to his hotel to eat. The portion was very large. The old man’s son also introduced the tour route to us. It is recommended that you set off in the afternoon and arrive in the evening to watch the sunset. Stay at the Red Land at night and you can also see the sunrise in the morning.

I went there in May this year. Because of official business, I could only take one day to go there and play. I took a fancy to the "Dongchuan Red Land". My initial understanding was that it was a good place with beautiful scenery but not much development. It was also the time of May when the scenery was very good. I felt that I really "picked up a bargain" hahahaha. I originally wanted to travel by car, because there were farmhouses there. Later, I felt that it was a bit hard to drive back and forth for a day, so I searched China-TravelNote's "Dongchuan Red Land One-Day Tour" and found the "Qieting Pavilion". I asked about the price and it was quite reasonable. It was a small group, with only 6 people in a car. The locals took me to play, and I could also order farmhouse dishes to eat. It was worry-free and fun. In fact, it was quite good, especially when I saw the "Luoxiagou", I was intoxicated by the wonders of nature. The driver and leader was a local. You can see that "Afu" and "Afu (Fu)" in the comments are two brothers who can help you take a lot of photos. And I found that I would definitely not see so much if I drove, because the roads in the village were difficult to drive and there were no signs. Many attractions were only known by locals, and navigation was useless. In short, our whole family had a lot of fun.

After I came back, I wrote a travel note. If you are interested, you can take a look. It is very detailed~ http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/9930774.html

It is a popular and niche place with few people, beautiful scenery, and most importantly, it is free! May is a good time to see Dongchuan and you can't miss it.

I was so excited when I saw the Red Land Observation Deck. At first I thought that this was the Red Land and there would be no more beyond that.

I was still too young. After passing by the various photography hotels and farmhouses above, I started my real red land journey along the mountain road.

What came into view were the terraced fields of different sizes, red, green and yellow. Unfortunately, after reaching the red land, the blue sky disappeared and the whole way was covered with gray. In addition, the clouds were thick, and the scenery in the distance was also covered by the mist.

Most of the trees on the plateau are short, growing on the ground like lollipops.

I had never thought about going to the Red Land before coming to Kunming. I was moved by a photo of the Red Land at the airport! I thought this place must be visited! Thank you tour guide Afu for your company for a day. The best thing is that he has great photography skills! It left us with wonderful memories! If you want to go to the Red Land, you can find him w18184814488!

The red soil gives people a very simple feeling. Generations of working people have sown and tilled the soil, forming a unique beauty, a kind of down-to-earth beauty. The morning sun shines on the red soil, showing vitality.

The two old men in Figures 5 and 6 have their own characteristics. They wander around various shooting spots to make it convenient for tourists to take pictures with them. They will not deliberately ask for money from you, but most people will give you some change, 1, 2, or 5 yuan is fine. There are not many young people in Hongtudi anymore, most of them have gone out to work, and the ones left behind are the elderly and children.

The locals took us to see the real red soil. It was a great pleasure to meet such a beautiful scenery! It was worth the trip. Thank you for meeting..

Dongchuan Red Land is definitely not just a few pieces of red mud. Don't be misled by those who say you can take photos of the red land on the road. Of course, we also saw many people taking photos on the roadside. We almost thought that was the red land and almost got off the car and turned back, but that was almost...

The real Dongchuan Red Soil is more clearly known by the locals. Of course, good scenery also requires good seasons and weather. We went there after the New Year, and the locals said that the villagers had just turned the soil, so it looked pretty good. But it is not the season with the most colors. You know, the Dongchuan Red Soil is called "God's Palette."

The best time to photograph the Red Land is probably in October, when the colors are richer and the weather is more suitable for photography. Many photographer enthusiasts come here many times every year just to encounter good weather in the most beautiful season and take a good picture.

A colorful place I would come back to in the fall.

Travel Tips

1. The scenic spot currently does not charge admission

2. It is recommended to take the Jiaozi Snow Mountain Tourist Line, which was recently built and has a good road. However, the service area on the road is still under construction, and there are private service points.

2. The scenery will be better when the soil is turned over in May-June and September-October. It is recommended to go after the rain, as the land will be redder and more colorful after the rain.

Hometown Feelings

A little bit of red dust

Thousands of threads

Stepping into all directions

Return to hometown

I am Afu, a local. It is my responsibility and my job to promote my hometown, Red Land. The scenery of Red Land has different beauty in all seasons. If you want to come, you can contact me (18206767812). I will definitely let you enjoy the Red Land. I am waiting for you here!

The 2018 class reunion was held in Kunming. Dongchuan Red Land was a scenic spot recommended by classmates and all the routes for the tour were contacted. We chartered a car to visit the Red Land. We knew that Kunming would always rain before the tour, but this did not shake our excitement to be together. At the designated location, we met the local driver, Afu. There were beautiful scenery everywhere on the way to the Red Land. We stopped along the way and took pictures of every beautiful scene that came into our eyes. We didn't want to miss it. The local driver, Afu's love and persistence for the Red Land deeply touched the hearts of each of us. Afu's careful company and explanation along the way made us feel the charm of this red land. During the two-day tour of the Red Land, we felt and experienced three different scenes of the Red Land on rainy days, cloudy days and sunny days, and felt the careful work of the locals for this land. The land here is like a treasure being discovered by people, and it is like a paradise. Afu said that the Red Land has different scenes all year round, which is beautiful. I look forward to seeing the morning glow and sunset glow of the Red Land next time, and there are more beautiful colors. Influenced by Afu, I feel that I have also fallen deeply in love with this red land. Thank you Afu, I am very happy to have your company on this trip to the red land!

With one more day in Kunming, I wanted to go to the surrounding areas. I searched for Red Land and originally wanted to rent a car to go there. After reading the route and various reviews, I felt that it was not worth it to go back and forth for eight hours on a single day. Later, I had an idea and searched for "Red Land One-Day Tour", which I thought was quite convenient. Originally, the price for three people was about the same as the gasoline and road fees for renting a car. Later, it became a little more expensive for four people, but thinking that there would be explanations and the roads inside were not easy to drive, I thought I should focus on relaxation (which turned out to be right). The driver and tour guide was "Brother Afu". He and "Afu", who was the most mentioned in the comments, were brothers, so basically everyone played together that day. I waited for Afu at the gate of the community at 7:40 in the morning. At first, it was windy and rainy all the way. Afu comforted me that as long as the fog was cleared, it would be a kind of artistic conception to see the red land accompanied by the clouds. But later it rained and it was too cold on the hillside, and it was not very good to take pictures. I "jokingly" said that taking pictures at this time depends on "character" hahahaha. Unexpectedly, we, who had no hope at first, completely ushered in the bright sunshine after lunch, and the clouds and fog dissipated. It was really God's care, God is awesome! So everyone says that the red land is sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy. Since then, we started to have fun. Although the car was driven to the door, we ran and jumped. We took pictures of jumping 17 or 18 times. Ah Fu helped take pictures throughout the whole process. In short, we used up all our strength to enjoy this magnificent beauty. The next day, I found that I couldn't move when lying down. Haha. My arms would be sore when I jumped. Haha. The thousand-year-old dragon tree is the filming location of many movies, such as "Ask the West". It is said to be a sacred tree that died for three years and resurrected. We were all amazed when we saw the original. There is also an "Internet celebrity" grandfather, who is 81 years old but has a very clear mind. However, the grandfather originally had his back to us and looked at the red land. When he heard the sound of the car, he would turn around, and his little yellow dog would consciously walk to his side and sit down, and he could pose for us in various ways. The grandfather said, "Every day someone asks him to take pictures." Haha, after all, he has been on the National Geographic magazine~ I think this is very good. He has a little fame, but he is content with a piece of land and still lives his own stable life. Regarding the two brothers Afu, I heard them talk about their process and ambitions of developing tourism here. He said that he wanted to bring his hometown to more people, and he was more confident in explaining it. I heard that they started to work on the ecological park, which allows tourists to do farmhouses by themselves. I support the brothers' careers and future plans. Regarding this one-day tour, first of all, I have to say that the road is rugged and muddy after entering the village, and it is difficult to climb the slope, so self-driving tours are really not recommended. Moreover, there are no clear signs between the scenic spots, so "local snakes" are the best guarantee. And it is also very convenient for Afu to cook his own food at Afu's house. Regarding the red land trip, the two brothers Afu are worth recommending (Afu 18184814488). The red land is only available in Brazil and Dongchuan in the world, but it is really not famous here, and not many people come here. Except for the plank road and gate of "Luoxiagou", it indicates that it will be standardized in the future to collect tickets, and the others are scattered around and free to enter and exit. In fact, Yunnan has many beautiful scenery with Chinese characteristics, but we don't know about it, and we also hope to promote it.

First stop in Yunnan. Although the most beautiful season has passed and there is no colorful scenery, I still like it. The baked potatoes are delicious, la la la la la la ~

The Red Land that I went to during the Dragon Boat Festival is really beautiful. In addition to the Red Land itself, there is a thousand-year-old dragon tree that is very good, especially suitable for couples or couples to take photos here. There are also purple potato flowers, one by one, which are also beautiful. We also took a photo with the Internet celebrity grandpa. The 81-year-old man held a long pipe in one hand and a dog in the other hand, which was very artistic. The old man's eyes are not blurred and his ears are not deaf. When taking pictures, he held a long pipe in his mouth and smiled happily and happily. The tour guide and driver Afu is a local young man. He is very good. He never urged us when we took pictures. I am especially grateful to him that we were not very satisfied with the photos of the thousand-year-old dragon tree. He took us there again and gave us time to take pictures slowly until we were satisfied. We were also treated to the special 18 dipping potatoes. I sincerely recommend going to the Red Land and looking for Afu. His younger brother is also a driver and tour guide. Both brothers are very good.

Dongchuan Red Land is located in the north-east direction of Kunming City, and belongs to Xintian Township under the jurisdiction of Dongchuan District, Kunming City. The red soil developed under the high temperature and heavy rain in Dongchuan, Yunnan, contains more iron and aluminum, less organic matter, strong acidity, and heavy soil. Located in a warm and humid environment, the iron in the soil slowly oxidizes and settles, gradually forming dazzling colors. Experts believe that the Yunnan Dongchuan Red Land is the most imposing red land in the world except Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and its scenery is more magnificent than the Brazilian red land. Dongchuan Red Land gives people a really shocking feeling. Pieces of land are scattered in front of you, and each piece of land has a different color, a veritable natural palette. Dongchuan Red Land is very large, there is no gate, no tickets, no shuttle bus, etc. The distance between points is relatively far, there are dozens of large and small viewing platforms, and it is very inconvenient without a car. Best time to travel: The best seasons for photography of the red soil are May to June and September to December. The snow scene in March is also beautiful. You can see different scenery in different seasons. The land is the reddest one or two days after a heavy rain.

The red land is so beautiful that I won't say much, just look at the pictures. The chartered car master Sun has first-class photography skills, is serious and responsible, and is really worth recommending

The Dongchuan red soil is like a palette, colorful and brilliant, giving people a strong visual impact and is extremely shocking...

The area of ​​red soil is not large, and there are several main scenic spots, the most beautiful of which are Luoxiagou, Damakan, Qicaipo, Jinxiuyuan, etc.

If you want to take photos of the sunrise or sunset, you can stay there. There are many farmhouses, and there are photography bases and photography friends everywhere.

Red soil is nothing more than red soil. Deep red soil, red brick red, beautiful red, sparkling red, is one of the unique scenery of Yunnan. Along the mountains, it is like thousands of layers of curtains folded down in an orderly and random manner, staggered, with light green, dark green or light golden fields mixed in from time to time. If I must describe it, when the sun falls, it is like a piece of eye shadow that shines to the extreme!

If any brand produces eyeshadow of this color, I will definitely take it home! Buy two! One to use and one to keep!

The next morning it was foggy, so we got up at 5:30 to watch the sunrise.

We didn't get to see the sunrise, so we went home to sleep. It kept raining, so we were stuck. We waited until 3pm when the rain stopped before setting off again. The road was filled with mist, and the white mist came one after another. We were actually a little disappointed, because without the blue sky and golden sunshine, the red land didn't look so beautiful.

Fortunately, the sun came out after a while, and the red soil returned to its lively appearance under the sun, shining red. We were so excited that we screamed and took photos crazily, in various poses, angles and locations.

The scenery of the red land depends on the weather. The chartered car inn is quite affordable and is enough for two days. Consider the drone. Also, consider the altitude sickness. An aunt in the group had symptoms of dizziness and vomiting, so you must consider it.

The colorful red land in May, the layers of mountains, the houses poking out of the mountains and the thousand-year-old trees that are isolated from the world are so beautiful that it is worth the trip! I recommend the local guide Afuge 18184814488, he is very nice and patient, it is a pure play without shopping

You must come when the weather is good, the sunshine in the fields is super beautiful. But the weather in Kunming is really unpredictable, it depends entirely on luck.

Dongchuan Red Land is really beautiful. It is commonly known as a paradise for photography enthusiasts. The scenic spots of Dongchuan Red Land are relatively scattered. It is recommended to find a local leader. We signed up for a one-day tour online. It just so happened that the leader Afu [Afu's phone number is 18184814488] grew up in the Red Land. They mainly provide one-day tours, two-day tours and chartered tours of the Red Land. Afu is honest and loyal. He can consider the light of the scenic area, take photos against the light, and take photos with the light, and he is very considerate. Under his leadership, we have a deeper understanding of the Red Land. Thumbs up for Afu!

We drove there on May Day (starting from Kunming). Although it was not the best time, it was indeed beautiful. There were many photography enthusiasts taking photos at several classic photo spots. The locations of several scenic spots are quite far, so you must drive by yourself or join a tour group. I want to complain about the road from Kunming. It took us 3 and a half hours to drive 180 kilometers. There are many provincial roads and mountain roads, and there are many sharp bends. The local cars did not slow down when passing by, so the driver was very tired.

Located in a warm and humid environment, the iron in the soil is slowly oxidized and deposited, gradually forming dazzling colors. Dongchuan Red Land refers to Xintian Township, more than 40 kilometers southwest of Dongchuan District, Kunming City, and a place called "Huashitou" (at the 109-kilometer milestone). The area of ​​nearly 100 miles here is the most concentrated, typical and distinctive red land on the Yunnan Red Plateau.

The gift of nature, the scenery is really beautiful! ! But it is a pity that the local government did not make efforts to protect and build this natural landscape. Dongchuan Red Land is world-famous. I hope it can still be as pure and beautiful as before after many years...

The scenery is pretty good! But like many scenic spots in Yunnan, there are scams everywhere! Although the scenic spot is free, as long as you can see a good view, the locals will charge you if you walk in or drive in, ranging from three yuan to five yuan to dozens of yuan. My car entered a dam in less than a minute and it cost less than five yuan. On the way, I met a few students from Chengdu. They had to pay 50 yuan each when they entered a harvested farmland. If they didn't pay, they threatened to fight. No wonder tourism in Yunnan has been getting worse in recent years. Is it useful if no one dares to come with good scenery?

In fact, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is basically red soil, but the iron and aluminum content in the soil here is higher, and the red color is stronger. Because of the high altitude, strong winds, and sparse vegetation, the continuous red terraces present a spectacular scenery. Compared with Honghe and Luoping, it is drier, with more coarse gravel and less warmth.

It is said that the red land is very colorful except in March, April, July and August. With Huashitou Village as the center, there are many scenic spots within a radius of dozens of kilometers: Moon Field, Luoxiagou, Red Land Grand View, Qicaipo, Jinxiu Garden, Damakan, Lepuao, Luosiwan and Wafangliangzi. The best place to watch the sunrise is Damakan, and the best places to watch the sunset are Lepuao and Wafangliangzi. There is no charge at present, but the scenic spot has started construction, and it is estimated that the admission fee will be charged soon.

The closer you get to Dongchuan, the narrower the mountain road becomes, the more winding the road becomes, and the more beautiful the surrounding scenery becomes, especially the spectacular red soil under the setting sun!

Dongchuan Red Land is beautiful, ...

They say this is God's overturned palette, a photographer's paradise. I couldn't resist the temptation and signed up for a one-day tour on China-TravelNote. The Red Land is in a big mountain, and transportation is inconvenient. I can't go there by myself, so I can only sign up for a tour group. However, this group only includes me and a guy from Northeast China.

It was raining and jammed on the way to the mountain road, and it took 3 hours to get there. The mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the water vapor was very heavy. The driver said that whether you can see the red soil depends on your luck.

The best season to see the red soil should be summer. We came at the wrong season, and due to the weather, we couldn't see anything. It didn't feel like God had overturned the palette at all, but my mood was overturned by God.

The Dongchuan red soil has dazzling colors because the iron and aluminum components in the soil are oxidized and slowly deposited in a warm and humid environment.

This place is considered to be the most majestic red soil in the world outside of Brazil, but the scenery is even more magnificent than the red soil in Brazil.

The best time to visit the Red Land is from April to May when the wheat is ripe, from September to December when the rape flowers are growing vigorously, and from February to March when there is occasional snow in the fields.

The various viewing points of the Red Land are far apart. If you need to take pictures of the sunset and sunrise, it is recommended to stay overnight in Huashitou Village.

Most of the inns in the village are farmhouse inns, which are relatively cheap, have acceptable hygiene and other conditions, and most of them provide catering.

The scenery of Dongchuan Red Land is quite nice, but it is quite cold in winter and there may be ice on the road. Those who drive by themselves should pay attention to driving safety. The scenery here may be better in April and May. The local farm dishes and beef are also good.

There is a kind of beauty that cannot be expressed in words. It is proud but ordinary, it is magnificent but exists in paintings, it is charming but never told.

The most beautiful months are May and June, when the white rapeseed fields are stunning, but winter also has its beauty.

The red soil is really nice and there is no entrance fee.

Although the road on the red soil is not wide, there is no problem for passing cars. It is like a white silk ribbon winding through the red soil. In my opinion, I don’t think its appearance is redundant. On the contrary, it makes the red soil more lively and more vivid.

February is not the best season for the red soil, but it still looks beautiful.

The altitude is higher than Kunming, so the temperature is slightly lower in the morning and evening. The wind blows at night and it makes a whistling sound.

Is the Dongchuan red soil in January your favorite color?

Although not extremely popular, it is still very beautiful!!!

There are no rape flowers in December! It's not worth the three-hour drive from Kunming, unless you are a photography expert! The road is difficult to drive on and the road signs are not foolproof.

There is no entrance fee at the moment, it is very beautiful and there are private carpooling groups.
