Introduction

The Luoxia Gully, also known as Xiantangdi, is a low-lying area surrounded by towering mountains and is said to be one of the most beautiful attractions in the red earth region. The sun rises from the eastern slope of Luoxia Gully, and when the weather is cloudy, there may be a flashlight effect. It is recommended to take photos of the sunrise and sunset around 16:30-17:30, which gives the best lighting effect. In different seasons, Luoxia Gully presents different views, with blocks and lines of red and green, like a fairyland on earth.
