#Luoping Canola Flower Ocean Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Luoping at sunset
Headed up the hill to find the patterns in the canola flowers at sunset.
Just a couple of hours away from Kunming, Luoping blooms into a sea of yellow flowers for about 4-to-6 weeks every year.
Worth checking with the local hotels before getting tickets though about when because if you miss the time - there isn’t really much to do.

Luoping flowers
A year after the last trip to the same place - albeit during the completely wrong season- headed back to Luoping to make up for lost time.. and it didn’t disappoint.
The whole town is a sea of yellow canola flowers on all sides.
The town is a little bare of great hotels or restaurants it seems but based o Lon how much the area has changed in the last year or so, I wouldn’t be surprised if that changes soon.

Joker Xue's Qujing Concert and Scenic Spot Recommendations
Date: 2024.01.13-01.14
Venue: Qujing City Cultural and Sports Park Stadium
It's the rhythm of announcing two concerts again! Qujing is located in the eastern part of Yunnan Province, at the headwaters of the Pearl River, at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi provinces, making it very suitable for tourism. After the concert, you can take the opportunity to go sightseeing! Let's experience the great beauty of Yunnan together.
1. Jiulong Waterfall Group
The Jiulong Waterfall Group is located on the Jiulong River northeast of Luoping County. A 'silver dragon' winds through the mountains, and over a 4-kilometer stretch of river, the drop exceeds one hundred meters. Here you can enjoy the natural scenery and feel the magnificence of the waterfalls. In the scenic area, you can hear the roaring sound of the waterfall water from a distance, and as you slowly approach, the sound gets louder, and then you can see the majestic waterfall. The entire scenic area is connected by multiple waterfalls, each with its own characteristics, and you can overlook the spectacular scenery from high places.
2. Luoping Rapeseed Flower Scenic Area
Luoping County is located in the eastern part of Qujing City. Unlike the rugged terrain of other areas, Luoping has a bit of the charm of a water town. As a traditional agricultural county, the rapeseed flowers that have been planted here for generations attract a large number of domestic and international travel photography enthusiasts. During the flowering season, Luoping County is submerged in a sea of rapeseed flowers, with 800,000 mu of rapeseed flowers blooming competitively, which is quite spectacular.
3. Dahaicao Mountain
Dahaicao Mountain has a gentle terrain, vast and boundless. Each season has its own beauty: in spring, the mountain flowers are blooming and fragrant; in summer, the green grass is lush, with herds of cattle and sheep; in autumn, the clouds are light and the sky is high, with green grass and clear water; in winter, the mountains are dressed in silver, with everything silver-carved and jade-built, integrating peaks, grass, water, light, flowers, clouds, snow, caves, and sentiments into a unique landscape, known as the 'New Zealand of Yunnan'.

Be careful not to be taken advantage of when going to Luoping to see the rapeseed flowers in March
After the holiday full of spring, I set off from Zhejiang by car, chasing the footsteps of spring all the way, and finally found the sea of flowers in my heart in Luoping, Yunnan.🌼🚗💨
Luoping, a place honored by the Guinness Records as "the world's largest natural garden", is simply breathtaking from an aerial view!🌸✈️ However, there is always a gap between wishes and reality, and the continuous overcast, rainy, and hazy weather almost prevented me from capturing the ideal photos this week. We stayed here for three days and only caught half a day of clear weather, so I remind friends who plan to go to pay attention to the weather forecast!🌧️📅
Nevertheless, I still want to share the complete travel guide of this trip, hoping it will be helpful to friends who plan to visit the rapeseed flower sea in Luoping!📝✨

Transportation Tips
Luoping County currently has no airport and no high-speed rail connection (only regular trains), so self-driving or chartered car is the most convenient way.🚗
There are also bus options from Kunming, about 3.5 hours and 69 yuan from the South Bus Station; about 3.5 hours and 48 yuan from the East Bus Station.
I hope my sharing can bring you a touch of spring warmth and travel inspiration, the rapeseed flower sea in Luoping,

Early Spring in Southeast Yunnan (Part 4): The Rapeseed Flower Sea of Luoping
The rapeseed flowers of Luoping are located in Qujing City, Yunnan Province. Luoping boasts a million acres of rapeseed fields, which have been recognized by Guinness as the "world's largest natural garden". The season when the rapeseed flowers bloom competitively is from February to March each year, and it has now become a famous internet celebrity check-in spot known throughout the country.
After checking into the hotel and taking a short rest, we headed to the Jinji Peaks in the afternoon.
According to the introduction of the Jinji Peaks scenic area, the Jinji Peaks cluster is located in Huiji Village, Baqiao Town, Luoping County, about 12 kilometers from Luoping County. The Jinji Peaks cluster presents a karst spectacle and is the core scenic area of Luoping's peak forest and rapeseed sea. Here, the peaks rise in clusters, stretching endlessly, with overlapping ridges and a vast expanse.
The scenic area has fertile fields, and every year from February to March, tens of thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers bloom in competition. The golden colors spread for dozens of miles, like golden waves of the sea, with green peaks and golden waves complementing each other, creating an incomparably beautiful scene, which has been selected by 'China National Geography' as one of the 'five most beautiful peak forests in China'.
Entering the scenic area, although the weather was overcast, walking along the country paths felt like a scroll of ink painting slowly unfolding, reminiscent of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the spring breeze bringing rain, white walls and pink tiles, mountains winding around, paths turning around peaks, and flowers blooming fragrantly. The yellow rapeseed flowers spread across the fields of hope, intoxicating visitors, making them linger and forget to return, too happy to think of home.
The only downside was the fog that rose in the scenic area this afternoon, which affected the visibility, and the temperature was low and there were many people, so the shooting effect was not ideal.
The original plan to visit the 'Screw Field' scenic spot was canceled due to the weather, and we just passed by and took a look. The guide sent two photos, which also counted as a visit.

Documenting the beautiful scenery of the rapeseed flowers in Luoping
Luoping's rapeseed flowers, I really love the scenery here so much, because tens of thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers are competing to bloom in the Luoping basin. As far as the eye can see, it's a sea of golden yellow. The view is truly indescribable with just the word 'spectacular', it's beauty to the extreme! Even a camera can't capture one-tenth of the actual scenery's beauty.

Hurry up! Catch the last bus to the Luoping rapeseed flowers
After driving through Luoping, I had heard about the fame of the rapeseed flowers here, but I was still shocked when I saw them in reality. Almost the entire county is surrounded by rapeseed flowers. Just walk into any village, and you'll find undulating seas of rapeseed flowers. Personally, I feel there's no need to spend money on a ticket to see the rapeseed flowers.
👉 Of course, that Rapeseed Flower World (the one that charges money) has a little train, which children should like, so families with kids might want to check it out!
👉 If you don't want to spend money, trust me, just wander into any village, and you'll find vast expanses of flowers. Moreover, the further you go into the suburbs, the more beautiful the flower seas become. The most beautiful and spectacular sea of flowers I saw that day was on the national highway on our self-drive trip to Kunming (just as we were leaving Luoping), in a very natural and simple little mountain village, with large swathes of rapeseed flowers layered upon each other, almost without tourists. Stop the car by the roadside and enjoy its natural bloom! (Pictures 2, 3, 4)
🏠 Accommodation:
The prices for homestays here range from 110-200, not including breakfast. Many of them offer views of the rapeseed flowers right from the window or balcony, or are just a short distance from the sea of flowers. The facilities are also well-maintained, clean, and hygienic.
🗒tips:
1. It is recommended to wear white, red, or other strongly contrasting colors for photography.
2. It is suggested to rent a bicycle or electric scooter to slowly enjoy the leisurely beauty of the rapeseed flowers.
3. If driving, most of the roads are two-lane, but sometimes they narrow when passing through villages, which can be a test of driving skills!
4. The flowering period is from the end of February to the beginning of April (the most beautiful time is definitely from the beginning to the middle of March)

There is a spring called the blooming of rapeseed flowers in Luoping
Why bother going to Luoping to see the rapeseed flowers when they are everywhere in the countryside during spring? I used to think this way too. After repeated invitations from my best friend in Kunming, 'You'll know once you see it,' she said, 'the rapeseed fields in Luoping are different!'
In the bright and beautiful March, the three of us best friends finally gathered in Kunming and drove three hours to Luoping.
We checked into the Luoping Xintiandi Hotel that day because it has triple rooms, which are most suitable for us.
After lunch and a short rest, the three of us drove to see the flowers.
It was the peak blooming period for Luoping's rapeseed flower sea, and there were many visitors. Long queues formed at the entrance of the scenic area to take the sightseeing bus or the small train. We chose the sightseeing bus, which was convenient for getting off at any time. Retirees have a half-price discount, and those who are 65 years old can visit for free.
I must say, the rapeseed flowers here are different. As far as the eye can see, millions of acres of rapeseed flowers are blooming competitively, quite spectacular. When the wind blew, the rapeseed fields made a 'whooshing' sound, and the waves of flowers undulated, exuding a vigorous and upward vitality, which was extremely wonderful.
The queue to see the panoramic view from the Jinji Peak viewing platform was very long, so we gave up the chance to take the most beautiful photos.
The scenic area was picturesque everywhere, and the three retired friends had a great time playing in the flower sea. Walking along the path, smelling the fragrance of flowers, sitting beside the rapeseed flowers waiting for the sunset, that afternoon, we were healed by the rapeseed flowers of Luoping.
When the sun set, the orange-red sunlight sprinkled down, adding a warm color to the golden rapeseed flowers, indescribably beautiful. We sat there, watching the sunset over the distant mountains slowly sink, and at that moment, my heart was at peace, and my eyes were filled only with this beauty. This is a gift from nature, treasured in our hearts.
The next day, we didn't go to the paid scenic spots again, but wandered around as we pleased. The countryside of Luoping in spring was full of beautiful scenery, and the photos we took were also very pretty.

A Self-Drive Day Tour of the Rapeseed Flower Sea in Luoping: Pros and Cons in This Article!
🌼 Date of photography: 2024.03.12
Self-drive day tour in Luoping rapeseed flower: Screw Field - Jiulong Waterfall - Golden Rooster Peak Cluster - Rapeseed Flower Field
The weather wasn't too good, flew the drone over four rapeseed flower fields, each with its own characteristics.
1️⃣ Screw Field
Now is the best viewing period, there is a viewing platform halfway up the mountain, and the drone perspective is even better.
The downside is that it's average for taking pictures of people, and you can't walk to the edge of the rapeseed field.
The mountain road is winding, please drive carefully; also pay attention to safety when taking photos by the roadside.
There are parking spots on the roadside, 10 yuan per vehicle, it can get very chaotic when there are many cars.
Admission: Free
2️⃣ Jiulong Waterfall Scenic Area
If you only want to see the rapeseed fields, take the west gate on the mountain; if you want to play, take the east gate at the bottom of the mountain, close to the waterfall.
The panoramic viewing platform can capture both Jiulong Waterfall and the rapeseed fields, but the best viewing period has passed.
The drone is still the best perspective, but it requires good lighting, and overcast days are actually better.
Highly recommend taking the flying carpet up the mountain, it's a fun experience.
Admission: 65 yuan
Flying carpet: 30 yuan
3️⃣ Golden Rooster Peak Cluster
Because it's popular, there are many tourists, and it's messy at the entrance, with ox carts and vendors chasing tourists in the parking lot, not a very good feeling.
The scenic area has a sightseeing train and tracks, which are very photogenic.
The highest peak is Laojian Mountain, about 3 kilometers one way, you can take the sightseeing train or car to get there.
Admission: 30 yuan
Sightseeing train: 50 yuan/Sightseeing car: 30 yuan
4️⃣ Main Venue of the Rapeseed Flowers
Free and you can drive in, there might be traffic control on weekends.
The rapeseed flower field is very large, with yellow and green patches interwoven, very beautiful.
The best spot for portrait photography, with both tall and short flower fields to choose from.
Admission: Free
🌼 Summary
My personal favorite is the Screw Field, because it's special.
Whether you come to see the rapeseed fields or not, I recommend visiting Jiulong Waterfall, the scenery is beautiful.
If you don't want to climb mountains and have a drone, you can skip the Golden Rooster Peak Cluster. For portrait photography, just go to the main venue, which also has karst topography, and you can drive in; just park nearby wherever it's convenient.

Enjoying the 'Flowers' on a Spring Day
Under the spring sunshine, a golden field of rapeseed flowers unfolds like a splendid oil painting before one's eyes. The delicate blossoms sway gently in the breeze, as if telling the tales of spring. At the edge of the rapeseed field, a meandering stream flows quietly, its clear surface reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the golden sea of flowers, creating a beautiful tapestry.
This rapeseed field is located in Luoping County, Qujing City, Yunnan, and is one of the famous tourist attractions in the area. From mid-February to early April each year, the rapeseed flowers bloom in full glory, attracting countless visitors. The recommended viewing period is from early to mid-March, when the flowers are at their most beautiful.
The ticket price is 30 yuan per person, and the sightseeing car costs 20 yuan per person. There are three modes of transportation available: self-driving, train, and bus. Recommended viewing spots include the Luoping Rapeseed Flower Sea, Jinji Peak, Majie, and Niujie Snail Fields.
Standing amidst this golden sea of flowers, I am overwhelmed by the stunning beauty before me. The delicate blossoms sway gently in the breeze, as if beckoning to me. I stroll along the stream, basking in the essence of spring. The clear water reflects the blue sky, white clouds, and the golden sea of flowers, creating a beautiful tapestry.

Yunnan Qujing | Luoping Rapeseed Flowers: The Hometown of 'Golden Splendor'
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. In Yunnan's Luoping, a million acres of rapeseed flowers are blooming competitively, dyeing the fertile fields yellow, with streams and houses dotted before and after. Right now, whether it's the Jinji Peaks or the main venue of the Rapeseed Flower Festival in Niujie Luositian, the rapeseed flowers all over the mountains and fields are blooming one after another. Some bloom exuberantly like the sea, some gently like jade, some stunningly like a city's fall, and some bloom in solitary splendor. In any case, Luoping is now a world of rapeseed flowers, a true 'Eastern Sea of Flowers'.
The rapeseed flowers of Luoping start at the foot of Bailax Mountain, the highest peak within Luoping's territory, which was worshipped as a sacred mountain by people in ancient times. The people of Luoping have worshipped Bailax Mountain generation after generation, praying for favorable weather for the crops. Regardless of whether the mountain god shows its spirit, the rain and fog brought by this high mountain turn Luoping's spring into a golden ocean. The Nankun Railway passes by Bailax Mountain, and, reluctant to disturb the enchanting sea of rapeseed flowers, it winds casually around the waist of the mountain.
The magic of Luoping's rapeseed flowers lies not only in their spectacular view but also in the fact that the square fields of Langtian do not require artificial irrigation; they are naturally nourished by nature itself, forming a feast of flowers. Not far from Luotian, the gentle slopes of the karst hills formed by the Yingwu Mountain range receive abundant rainfall and have distinct scenery in all four seasons. The groundwater from Yingwu Mountain converges in the Luoping basin, and together with the interconnected karst system beneath the flower fields, it plays a natural role in draining and irrigating the rapeseed fields, also endowing the rapeseed flowers with more mystery and legend.
The well-known places to view rapeseed flowers in Luoping include Jinji Peaks, Niujie Township, Wanzi Lake Reservoir, and Shiwan Dashan. Among them, Jinji Peaks are the most celebrated. In the vast golden sea of flowers, crisscrossing roads have been built for visitors to delve into the sea of flowers, to smell the fragrance closely. There are asphalt roads, gravel brick paths, and wooden plank roads, especially suitable for those who stroll among the flowers. The rapeseed flowers have a faint fragrance and are spectacular; fields of flowers converge into a sea, with the fragrance wafting in waves, mixed with the moist air and hitting the face, refreshing the heart and spleen. In the drizzling season, the sea of rapeseed flowers offers a different kind of experience.

I just want time to stand still at this moment
In the early spring, 1 million mu of rapeseed flowers bloom in Luoping, Yunnan, spreading over fields and mountains, a vast expanse of golden yellow. It is one of the 31 rapeseed production base counties in the country and enjoys the reputation of 'Eastern Yunnan Oil Depot'. How do the golden rapeseed flowers turn into the vegetable oil on our dining tables? Let's wander through the sea of rapeseed flowers!
Luoping County's sea of rapeseed flowers is the county's most proud 'business card'. The rapeseed fields in Luoping are vast, with an annual production of nearly 30 million kilograms of rapeseed, making it the largest rapeseed production base in Yunnan Province and one of the 31 production bases in the country.

The most beautiful view of the rapeseed flowers in Luoping is right here
I have just returned from Luoping, and the sea of rapeseed flowers still lingers in my mind. During this trip, I discovered a place where you can take stunning photos without the need for a drone, and it has topped my list for this rapeseed flower journey.
The terraced landscape of rapeseed flowers here is rich in layers, especially the terraces on the high mountains, which are undoubtedly the most characteristic landscape of Luoping. The flowers are blooming just right, as if nature has also made full preparations for this breathtaking scenery.
At this moment, I am sitting in the airport terminal, eager to share this beauty with everyone. All these photos are raw images from my phone, and only one was taken by a drone, proving that the scenery here needs no embellishment to be breathtakingly beautiful.
If you also want to experience this beauty, navigate to Ge Gang Village, specifically at the intersection of Y074 and Y045. Trust me, it's definitely worth the trip.
May every journey open a beautiful prelude to the New Year. 🌸🌾📷🌍🚀

Yunnan Luoping's rapeseed flower fields are a pure natural oxygen bar
With the revival of all things in spring, the rapeseed flowers in Luoping have all bloomed, wishing the spring breeze will blow away all troubles and all good things will come as promised

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

Yunnan Travel | The most popular spot for spring outings, really worth Pick!
Yunnan is really a place with treasures, a variety of cultural landscapes, worth visiting many times. In the spring, the most suitable place to see rapeseed is not Luoping. Although it is too popular, it is really worth a visit. The hundreds of thousands of acres of rape blossoms are really spectacular and cannot be described in words.
suggested self-driving, we arrived at the local chartered car, the price is 366 a day, the itinerary is as follows:
1, get up early, the driver picks us at the inn and goes straight to Jinjifeng to see the sunrise Hey, it is recommended to arrive before half past five, in order to occupy a better position.
2, after watching the sunrise, I went to the Kowloon Falls. The overall experience is that the price is not high, and it belongs to the chicken ribs.
3, after lunch, I went to the Niujie screw field. The terraces are ring-shaped. It looks like a spin on the screw from a distance. It is quite strange.
4, the last stop left ample time for the landscape avenue, here is the best point for taking pictures, the small suggestion for everyone is to not stay in the front of the road after entering the landscape avenue, there are many people! The fewer people there are, the more large roads that can be taken without a passerby.

If you want to appreciate the spring of Yunnan, the most important thing to miss is Luo Ping. The longing for Luo Ping is derived from a photograph of China's national geography. There are thousands of acres of golden islands floating in the ocean. It is known as the most beautiful peak in the world. forest. At the beginning of March, it was the best time to see rape blossoms. Then let go of everything and rush to the golden flower sea that yearns. After a few trips to Luoping, the cold weather is almost the same as that of Chongqing, but the occasional appearance of the sun still makes me feel.
Luoping sees more places in rapeseed, but the more famous places are Jinjifeng Forest, Screw Field, Jiulong Waterfall, and Dui River. The first three places are more interesting.
1. County to Kowloon Falls: Luoping Bus Terminal, the fare is 10 yuan, after Jinjifeng, it is convenient to visit Jinjifeng when returning.
2, County to Jinjifeng: Take the passenger station, you can take a trip to the Kowloon Falls car to visit. If you don't go to the Kowloon Falls, you can go directly to Jinjifeng, and the fare is 5 yuan.
3. County to Screw Field: The car is not at the passenger station. You need to go to the Hualian Supermarket in the county seat. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the Hualian Supermarket at the passenger station. You can ask all the way, everyone in the county knows. As long as the car in the direction of Agang will pass through the screw field, the fare is 5 yuan to 8 yuan. (Look at the mood of the ticket seller).
