I'm back from Luoping, and it was a tough trip. Sisters who plan to go should think twice because...

✨Friends, you must visit Luoping in February! I just came back, and I was completely captivated by the boundless rapeseed flowers. Save this guide quickly! 1. Preparation 1. Clothing: The temperature in Luoping in February isn't too low, but there's a large temperature difference between day and night, so a thick coat is essential. During sunny days, a thin sweater and shirt are enough, perfect for taking beautiful photos. If it's cloudy, you'll need to wear more. 😉 2. Photography equipment: Those with drones must bring them! Overlooking the golden sea of flowers from the air is breathtakingly beautiful! Don't worry if you don't have a drone; bring a camera with a telephoto lens for stunning long-range shots and atmospheric portraits. If you're lazy like me, a phone is perfectly fine. Remember to download photo editing software in advance so you can edit your beautiful photos right after taking them. 3. Other: Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat are all necessary. Yunnan's UV rays are not to be underestimated. Don't let the beautiful scenery turn you into a tanned person. 😎 2. Transportation Guide Luoping currently doesn't have an airport or high-speed rail, so self-driving is the most convenient option, and the scenery along the way is also beautiful. If you don't want to drive, you can also choose a bus. 1. From Kunming: There are direct buses to Luoping from Kunming South Bus Station or East Bus Station. The journey takes about 3.5 hrs, and the ticket price is affordable. 2. After arriving in Luoping: The county is small, and taxis are readily available and not too expensive to get to various attractions. If you want more freedom, you can also rent an electric scooter, weaving through the country roads and enjoying the fragrance of rapeseed flowers. This is what travel should be like. 🚲 3. Attractions 1. Jinji Peak Cluster: This is a photography paradise! At sunrise, the sunlight sprinkles on the rapeseed flowers, dyeing the whole world golden, like a fairy tale. The viewing platform and paths are perfect for portraits, producing amazing photos in minutes. The entrance fee is 30 yuan/person, which I think is worth it. 2. Jiulong Waterfall Group: One of the top ten waterfalls in China, and the key is that the waterfall is surrounded by golden rapeseed flowers. This kind of scenery is truly rare! Enter from the west gate and exit from the east gate; it's all downhill, very easy. Taking the cable car up the mountain offers a bird's-eye view of the waterfall and sea of flowers. If you have a drone, you can capture even more stunning panoramic views. The entrance fee is 65 yuan/person, a one-way cable car ride is 25 yuan, and a bamboo raft ride is 25 yuan. Choose according to your needs. 3. Niujie Snail Field: Due to the unique terrain, the rapeseed fields are funnel-shaped, like the spiral pattern on a screw, incredibly spectacular. Standing on the viewing platform or a high point on the roadside, any photo you take will be wallpaper-worthy. It's not very suitable for portraits, but it's definitely top-notch for landscape photography. The viewing platform costs 5 yuan/visit, but you can also take beautiful photos in free areas. 4. Majie Cloud Flower Terraces: Spectacular terraced rapeseed fields, distributed along the mountain like the Hani rice terraces. There are relatively few tourists, allowing you to fully enjoy the tranquility and beauty. It's suitable for aerial photography, and walking along the small paths on the terraces also offers unique scenery. Plus, there's no entrance fee! 🎈 5. Rapeseed Flower Festival Main Venue Area: The terrain is open, surrounded by a sea of rapeseed flowers. The "horseshoe-shaped" main venue is unique. The endless sea of flowers behind the stage is truly healing, and it's a great spot for taking photos. Most importantly, it's free! 6. Lazhuang Village: A less-known spot for appreciating rapeseed flowers, surrounded by the Jiulong River and backed by Xiangshan Mountain. Rapeseed flowers are scattered among the green hills and clear waters, like a pastoral painting. With few people and beautiful scenery, it's perfect for those who love tranquility, and there's no entrance fee. 4. Food Recommendations 1. Rapeseed Honey: You must try the local rapeseed honey in Luoping. It has a sweet taste and rich aroma, and it's a great gift to bring back home. 2. Sour Bamboo Shoot Fish: A Luoping specialty, the unique sourness of the bamboo shoots perfectly blends with the delicious fish. One bite is sour, spicy, and satisfying, super appetizing, and unforgettable. 3. Five-Color Flower Rice: A visually stunning dish, colored with natural plants. It's not only beautiful but also has a light floral fragrance, soft, glutinous, and sweet. You must try it. 5. Important Notes 1. Weather: The weather in Luoping is changeable. Be sure to check the weather forecast before departure and try to choose a good day to go for better photo results. 2. Mosquito Repellent: There are many mosquitoes in the rapeseed fields, so remember to bring mosquito repellent, or be prepared to be attacked by mosquitoes. 😅 3. Respectful Viewing: Although the rapeseed flowers are beautiful, they are also the hard work of the farmers. Don't trample on them. Protecting this beautiful scenery allows more people to see it. Friends, the blooming season for rapeseed flowers in Luoping is only from February to March. Make arrangements quickly and embark on a golden spring appointment! 🌸
