Qujing 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. #tripblazers #awesomepic #passionpassport

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. #tripblazers

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!📝✨ Recommended Shooting Spots **Niujie Luoshitian & Jinji Peak Cluster**: - This is an excellent spot for portrait photography and capturing sunrise and sunset. The morning mist covers the rapeseed fields like a light veil, resembling a paradise.🌄👫 - Shooting locations: Viewing platform and trails, very suitable for portrait photography. - Ticket price: 30 yuan per person for the viewing platform. **Jiulong Waterfall Group**: - As one of "China's Top Ten Waterfalls", the surrounding sea of rapeseed flowers adds to its beauty. Enter from the west gate and exit from the east gate, the whole way is downhill, very suitable for photography. - Shooting locations: After taking the cable car up the mountain, there are viewing platforms to overlook the waterfalls and the distant sea of flowers, and it's even more perfect if you have a drone. - Ticket price: 65 yuan per person, one-way cable car 25 yuan, bamboo raft 25 yuan. **Majie Cloud Ladder**: - The spectacular terraced rapeseed flowers, nestled against the mountains and waters, have few visitors due to inconvenient transportation, offering a sense of undisturbed purity. - Shooting locations: Aerial photography of the terraces, walking on the trails. - Ticket price: None. **Main Venue Area of the Rapeseed Flower Festival**: - The terrain is open, surrounded by farmland, and the central "horseshoe-shaped" main venue is unique, with an endless sea of rapeseed flowers behind it. - Ticket price: None. **Lazhuang Village**: - A less popular spot for viewing rapeseed flowers, surrounded by the Jiulong River, backed by Xiangshan, with few tourists, the sea of flowers is dense among the green mountains and blue waters, like a fairyland on earth. - Ticket price: None. 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,

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.

Take the scenic area's sightseeing train for an in-depth tour, a feast for the eyes. 4. The next day, take a 20-minute taxi ride to visit the snail field, and enjoy the unique scenery. 📝Tips: 1. Luoping is much colder than other places in Yunnan, be sure to bring warm winter clothes. 2. Due to the cold and rainy weather, bring a small umbrella. 🍽Dining recommendations: 1. The local specialty is green rapeseed shoots, delicious whether boiled in plain water or stir-fried. 2. Yunnan's special pickled vegetables and homemade tofu cheese are available for tasting and purchase, and they taste fantastic. 3. The homemade smoked meat and sausages are also uniquely flavorful and worth a try. Where to go for a scenic view with your backpack in early February? I recommend Luoping in Yunnan, a place that will delight your body and soul with continuous surprises.

The beauty of Nian Lake

Nian Lake is a major attraction in Huize County and a signature attraction in Qujing City. It is a place to admire the elegant black-necked cranes, sunrise over the sea of clouds, mountain villages, and the lake and mountain scenery. The black-necked cranes only migrate from the north in winter. We arrived here at noon, so of course we couldn't watch the sunrise over the sea of clouds, but the lake and mountain scenery, blue sky and white clouds, and sparkling clear water were very beautiful. The high blue sky was dotted with white clouds, ripples spread across the pool of broken blue, the distant layers of mountains presented a dark green, the willows on the shore were lush, and unknown water birds were playing in the nearshore aquatic plants. Even though it was not the best season or time to come to Nian Lake, it left a deep impression on me.

In the morning, the lake is most beautiful and the most beautiful, the clouds are haunting, the mountains are looming in the clouds, and the breath that is walking in the middle is the breath of autumn, and the beauty is so tearful. Whether the lake is still a village or a mountain, it is covered with layers of mist, and the ink-and-dark paintings are plunged into the eye, and a quiet natural picture is displayed in front of you. There is a word called no name, and there is a word called stunned. When I saw the reading of the lake, I think it would be more appropriate to use these two words. All the beauty in the world is not as good as Walk quietly on the shore of the lake.

Some people say that the lake on the mountain is a tear lying on the surface of the earth. The tears on the pillow are the lakes hanging in your heart. Every September 9th, the Himalayan cold wind passes through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a group of black The neck crane flew back to Yunnan with thoughts, and it was thousands of miles away. It was not afraid of hunger and cold. It flew over thousands of mountains and waters. It came to the Haizi of Huize County, Yunnan Province, and spent a long winter in this sea. It is expected to fly back to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the spring of next year. They met in the migratory flight, knew and played in this picturesque lake, and agreed to fly back to the lake in the coming year, but he soon left because of the fatigue and injury of the journey. Losing her partner, she passed the lonely winter with her infinite thoughts. When the spring came, the cranes flew back to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but she chose to stay here because of her choices. However, in the end, the lonely crane left behind, the lovesickness fell, and people moved. In the black neck crane's loyalty to love, this lake of thoughts is called "Nianhu". Groups of black-necked cranes, bar-headed geese, and kenaf ducks play crisp morning songs, lined up in formations and go out for food. These spiritual elves are free to soar in the sky, the gentleness of the bow, The rhythm of countless shutters, the shyness of the moment, the most beautiful axis of the sky.

I came from afar, just for the appointment on your side. In front of the magnificent nature, we are so small and make the most sincere wish. The misty clouds are like a magical magician, which can be seen by the naked eye. One mountain, one water, one grass and one wood illusion is in front of our eyes, it is dizzying, and imagination. faded the lush summer season, the autumn grassland color is more full, far-sighted, golden under the sky, pick up the camera, will freeze the picture in the lens, become the scenery that never fades in the heart. In this space, forget everything in the world. The so-called jealousy, trouble, and humanity... stop at this moment, stop, give the soul a rest time, do nothing, just breathe the green of nature. The fragrance of the flowers, bathed in the lakes and mountains, intoxicated. quiet, peaceful, wonderful, blue, sacred, here is everything you imagine, and everything else you imagine.
