The latest guide to rapeseed flowers in Luoping, Yunnan

The best viewing period is from late February to mid-to-late March. This trip to Yunnan started with a flight from Changsha to Kunming, then a car rental for a self-drive tour—viewing seagulls in Kunming—deep tour of Fuxian Lake—Mile hot spring trip. A total of 10 days, it was a spontaneous decision to go to Luoping, and I caught the full bloom! Kunming to Luoping—less than 3 hours by car ☀️Main venue of Luoping rapeseed flowers (from Picture 1 to Picture 8) Features: The area is quite large, boundless at a glance, with undulating terrain, offering the best experience. The main venue has a strong commercial atmosphere, which I directly passed on. You can navigate to Happy Children's World and enter from the right side of the main entrance, circling Happy Children's World counterclockwise! ☀️Jinji Peak Cluster (back door of Laojian Mountain—from Picture 9 to Picture 12) Features: The rapeseed flowers are closer to the mountains, and they look better at sunrise and sunset. Since I arrived late, I did not enter the scenic area! (ps: The scenic area requires a ticket purchase, and there are paid small trains and sightseeing cars available inside, or you can walk. It takes half an hour to climb the Laojian Mountain plank road to watch the sunset, and it's recommended to consider taking a car if you're not physically strong) I navigated to the back door of Laojian Mountain (continue along Huahai Avenue past the entrance of the scenic area and turn right after one to two kilometers), where the flowers bloom earlier and more abundantly than in the scenic area, and the drone's perspective is the same as the scenery of Laojian Mountain. ☀️Niu Street Screw Fields (from Picture 13 to Picture 14) Features: Looking down from above, it appears as a spiraling screw shape. Personally, I find it average, perhaps because it's similar to the drone's perspective. It's right by the roadside on a higher ground, with several viewing platforms. The flowers here bloom later, so you can take a look and then head inside to Magu Village Yunshang Huayi ☀️Magu Village Yunshang Huayi Features: A perfect combination of rapeseed flowers and terraced fields, a photography hotspot. Suggestions: The Yunshang Huayi viewing platform is near the village department of Magu Village. The scenery seems average, but when flying a drone, I discovered a stunning place, which is a right turn at a junction 2 kilometers away from the village department
