Located in the southeast of Luliang County, the Luliang Colored Sand Forest is a scenic spot with natural sand columns and sand peaks as the main point of interest. Part of the "Three Forests in Yunnan" together with the Lunan Stone Forest and the Yuanmou Soil Forest, the Luliang Colored Sand Forest is not as famous as the Lunan Stone Forest, and does not attract as many tourists, so it's a place where you can really enjoy the scenery. The sand forest was weathered from mineral-bearing sandstone. Through careful observation, visitors will find that in the changing sunlight, the sand forest is composed of many different colors, such as red, white, yellow, gray, and black, which produces an excellent effect in photos. The layering of the sand forest is especially obvious in the evening sunset.

It is not necessary to go deliberately, but it is worth seeing along the way. It was February when I went. The weather was very good, the sky was very blue, and the photos taken were very beautiful. It is estimated that it will be very sunny in summer, because there are not many trees in the scenic area.
Yes, it's beautiful! The sky in Yunnan is really beautiful. I have seen Guizhou's Yin and innocently feel that I am in a beautiful mood here.

The Colorful Sand Forest in Luliang was a man-made landscape that I thought was a man-made landscape before I went there. I only found out about its historical origins after I went there. I personally think that this scenic spot integrates the humanistic history of the local Cuan culture into the natural landscape of the scenic spot, which can enrich the itinerary. It is worth recommending.
Luliang Colorful Sand Forest is located in Luliang County, Qujing City, Yunnan Province. It is a 4A-level scenic spot. It is about 140 kilometers away from Kunming. Most of the roads are highways, and the transportation is convenient. In the scenic area, you can often see such a word: Cuan. The local dynasty of the Cuan family ruled the political, economic and cultural center of Nanzhong, which is now Luliang. It is called Cuandi or Cuanxiang. The Cuan Dynasty created a splendid local culture - Cuan culture. Cuan culture includes writing, rituals, poetry, customs, rituals, clothing, food, medicine, architecture, crafts, etc. There are traces of Cuan culture everywhere in the colorful sand forest.
The scenery is quite good. It's worth seeing. Unfortunately, there is construction at the gate of the scenic spot. It's too far from the parking lot to the gate of the scenic spot. The construction of the scenic spot of the color sand forest is relatively simple, and it should be more humanized. It is better to introduce the formation of the color sand forest at the entrance, and so on. It is better to give you a more complete understanding and then go to see it. Although there were introductory movies of color sand forest in the place where I went later, it was a pity.
The national AAAA level tourist area is 18 kilometers away from Luliang County Town. 108 named scenic spots are located in "Y" shaped canyon with a total area of 180 hectares. Because of weathering and denudation, the sand forest is hills and peaks, and because of its red, yellow and white as the main color, mixed with green, blue, black and gray, and different seasons, climate, sunshine and viewing angles, it produces colorful tones, so it is known as color sand forest, which is a famous geological tourism landscape. Very, very much.
Compared with the other two natural landscapes, the entire colored sand forest is not well developed, and there is almost no trace of commercial activities. If you take a three-hour self-guided tour, you can complete the entire tour. Walking in the colored sand forest is like floating in a fairy tale world; or galloping on an ancient battlefield with thousands of horses neighing. Things are swimming in colorful paintings; sometimes trekking on the ancient surface that seems to have just been hit by Mars. Here you can definitely experience the feeling of traveling through time and space (especially on a starry night). Friends who like photography are advised to start the visit around 4 pm, when you can witness the beauty of the colored sand forest. If you have artistic talent, the colored sand forest is definitely the best raw material for your sand painting. The World Sand Sculpture Competition is held here every year, and some excellent works have been retained. Among them, the works from 2012 are still preserved in nature as new.
