Luoping County is is a small county in eastern Yunnan, China. The county of Luoping in eastern Yunnan is noted for its beautiful scenery in spring, when its fields of canola plants are in full bloom, surrounding the area's mountains with a sea of golden flowers to spectacular effect and
Luoping's golden beauty lasts until late June.
It is here that you will encounter fields of the yellow rapeseed flowers (also known as canola) in full bloom, perfectly blending in with the sprawling farmlands and pretty hills (in fact, the scenery reminds us a bit of Guilin). This region has recently become a magnet for photographers worldwide, who come into this rolling hillside landscape of rapeseed farms early in spring mornings to capture unique sunrises. Located only a few kilometers outside of town, the place is easily
accessible by bus from Luoping. In order to access a great view point,
simply head for the hundred-year-old temple Lingyi on one of the hills. During the high travel
season for the county regular buses leave from Kunming's bus stations on
an almost hourly basis.
