4.9

Introduction

Located in the northeastern region of Kunming, it has a splendid and colorful landscape due to its soil rich in elements such as iron and aluminum. This is the most impressive red land outside of Brazil, and from afar, it is a colorful and beautiful sight, making it an excellent destination for photography enthusiasts. The scenic spots are relatively scattered, mainly divided into three viewing routes: the northwest route, the northeast route, and the south route. The most convenient way to play is to rent a car. The best travel time is from April to May, when the wheat is mature, and from September to December, when the rapeseed flowers are in full bloom. In addition, the occasional lingering snow in February and March is also a good time to visit.
