Jinji Peak Cluster

The Jinji Peaks Observation Deck is about 3 kilometers away from the main entrance of the scenic area. You can walk or choose three modes of transportation in the scenic area: 1. Sightseeing bus 30 yuan/person; 2. Ox cart (unclear price); 3. Rent a bicycle (80 yuan unlimited time). I chose a bicycle at the strong request of my daughter, and later I regretted it. The road to the observation deck is uphill and downhill. I finally rode to the observation deck. When I looked up, there were more than 700 steps, which almost cost me my life. The sun had set when I climbed up, and the light was not good. I didn’t appreciate the legendary beauty of the Jinji Peaks at all. What made me vomit blood was that I had to ride the bicycle back to the main entrance of the scenic area. The sky was getting darker and darker. The whole family was hungry and walked in the dark. The decision to rent a bicycle was really wrong. I advise those with elderly and children who are not physically fit to take a sightseeing bus!

Jinji Peak Cluster Scenic Area is a popular tourist attraction in Luoping County, Yunnan Province. It is the best place to view and photograph rapeseed flowers.

The weather was bad on the day of the tour. It was drizzling and the bus was surrounded by fog all the way.

In my opinion, the Jinji Peak Cluster is a special geological landform. Peaks suddenly rise from the flat ground, like pointed high buns, some big, some small, some high, some low.

The highlight of the Jinji Peak Cluster lies in the vast rapeseed fields at the feet of these tall mountain climbers. Standing on the high peak and looking down and into the distance, the vast fields of golden rapeseed flowers are like a painting. It's a pity that the weather is not good. If the sun is shining, the scenery here must be extremely beautiful.

But this beautiful scenery can only last for half a month. In fact, in Luoping, the rape flowers in most places have already faded, but the rape flowers in the Jinji Peak cluster are still persisting, which makes me regretful. Otherwise, if the rape flowers are gone and the weather is bad, it would be a wasted trip.

The above is the report.

I bought a ticket for the Jinji Peak Cong Scenic Area in the afternoon on 20190216 for 20 yuan per person. The weather was clear. The scenery was beautiful, the mountains were blue, the clouds were white, and the rapeseed flowers were in full bloom. I turned slowly and watched the sunset in the evening. Every scenic spot in Luoping exceeded my expectations.

20190225 I came to Jinji Peak in Luoping again. Some rapeseed flowers were in seeding stage. See the last picture.

Living in Jinji Village, I got up early in the morning and arrived at the Jinji Peaks. I climbed one of the free hills to occupy a good position. Some photographers had already set up their cameras. After occupying the position, I was not in a hurry. There was still some time before sunrise. I set up the tripod, ate something, and chatted with the photographers around. A hint of red appeared on the horizon, and slowly, it became redder and redder. This red sky before sunrise can also be photographed. The sun finally came out around 7:45. The position occupied was good. The feeling of looking at all the small mountains was spectacular and shocking! The shutter snapped, and I took a few photos at different focal lengths and angles. After all, the best time is so short. The sun is getting higher, and I can no longer take pictures of the sun. I can take pictures of the side-lit scenery. Today is a sunny day, without morning fog, which is a bit regrettable. It would be even more beautiful if there was a little mist around the hill.

Tip: Luoping rapeseed flower sea has started charging this year, 20 yuan per person. We entered early in the morning and the toll collector was not at work yet. There are several hilltop viewing points in the flower sea area, some of which charge 20 yuan per person. Before the charge, you can drive in by car. We were fooled by the locals, parked our car outside, paid the parking fee, and walked in.

There are many places in China where you can see rapeseed flowers, and Luoping's peak rapeseed fields are indeed a major feature. Unfortunately, I didn't stay long enough this time, and I didn't do enough homework before the trip, so I didn't develop the best perspective.

Specifically, if you drive from Kunming, you will enter the scenic area from the west to the east along Jiangzhao Highway. On the south side of the highway are several viewing platforms currently developed in the scenic area. The hill closest to the parking lot is relatively high, and the view is also good. But there is a higher mountain on the north side of the road, and it is said that you can climb there and the view will be better. Of course, it would be better with a drone.

You can also rent a horse carriage or bicycle to go deeper into the southern peaks. Since I don't have money, I don't know how good it is there. But after studying the satellite images of Google Maps, I found that it may not be better. Because the density of the peaks should be moderate. If the peaks are too sparse, they will lack characteristics, and if they are too dense, they will lack the contrast of the large and neat rapeseed fields below.

The bus stopped at the Jinji Service Area on the highway, and the group members, led by the tour guide, passed through the underground culvert to reach the Jinji Peak Cluster Scenic Area.

There are three viewing platforms in the scenic area. I didn't go to the highest one or the lowest one. I went to the viewing platform in the middle with the guide. From the next day, if you want to watch the sunrise, it is strongly recommended to charter a car to the highest viewing platform. Due to the angle, only the highest viewing platform can overlook most of the Jinji peaks.

You have to walk up to the observation deck, so it's really tiring!

In fact, the sunset effect was average because there was not a cloud in the sky that day, so there was no contrast!

I have to say that I had some regrets at the Jinji Peaks. When I came to watch the sunset on the afternoon of the first day, I should have gone directly to the highest observation deck. There would have been plenty of light and time. However, it was cloudy and foggy the next morning, which limited the photography effect.

The Luoping Jinji Peak Cluster was originally free, but now the scenic area is being built in full swing. It seems that there will be activities during the Spring Festival. The ticket price is 20 yuan, the small transportation is 30 yuan, and there is also a tourist train that you can take, but the price is still unknown.

Luoping is best viewed when the rape flowers are in bloom and the weather is clear. The rape flowers are just beginning to grow above the ground. We arrived late, and it was still drizzling, so it was foggy and we couldn't see clearly from a distance. But the peaks and forests were still vaguely visible.

Unlike the far-sighted view of the Snail Field, here you can go into the field to see the rape flowers up close. Except for a few hills, the flower fields are very flat, dotted with a few protruding trees, a vast wilderness. In mid-March, there is a lot of fog in the morning and evening, so it is better to come here at noon.

The best time to see rapeseed flowers is around the Spring Festival to March 20th every year, and it is best to go on a sunny day. The Jinjiling Observation Deck in Jinji Village and the top of Laojian Mountain in the park are the best places to overlook the rapeseed fields. If you want to take pictures of the sunrise, you need to get to the Jinjiling Observation Deck at 5 o'clock to grab a spot

Climbing up Jinji Peak, you can see that the rapeseed fields are relatively flat, while there are some isolated peaks rising in the distance, giving a magnificent feeling. Many photos of Luoping's sea of ​​flowers were taken here. It is also a great place to take pictures of sunrise and sunset.

Due to heavy fog, we left in a hurry without taking any photos we wanted at the Jinji Peaks.

It is estimated that we will not be able to see the rape flowers at sunrise tomorrow. We did not wait for a single ray of sunlight to see the largest sea of ​​rape flowers and left with a little regret.

The most convenient way to get to Jinji Peak is during the rapeseed season. There are shuttle buses from Luoping Bus Station. If you choose the right season and weather to come here, the scenery is quite good! But there are too many tourists.

The Jinji Peak Cluster is also known as the Golden Rooster Peak. Hundreds of small hill cones like "pyramids" are scattered across the dam. The hill cones are surrounded by golden rapeseed fields. It is the best place to view rapeseed flowers in Luoping and an excellent place to take pictures of sunrise and sunset. If there is heavy fog in the morning light, the hill cones standing tall in the clouds look like a fairyland.

At sunrise, the Jinji Peaks in Luoping are shrouded in mist like a fairyland. Whether the rapeseed is in bloom or not, the beauty is incomparable.

Luoping Jinji Peak Cluster is a karst landform and is the core scenic area of ​​Luoping Peak Forest and Rapeseed Flower Sea.

When the flowers bloom on the roadside, I hope you can find the person who is slowly returning.

From Jinji Peak: The rape flowers all over the mountains are beautiful and unrestrained, but my photography skills cannot perfectly restore their true condition.

Now there is nothing left. It was a wasted trip. It's all bare.

Climb to the opposite side and see a magnificent view from the opposite side.

About 10 kilometers northeast of Luoping County along National Highway 324, in Jinji Village, Banqiao Town, there are countless cone-shaped hills arranged in an orderly manner in the dam. This is the famous "Jinji Peak Cluster".

The rapeseed flowers cover a large area, and the small peaks and ridges of the karst landform make it no longer monotonous. It is very visually impactful under the bright sunshine.

Beautiful! There are still large areas of rapeseed flowers blooming, which is different from the rapeseed fields I have seen before. The sea of ​​flowers and hills is worth it.

The scenery is beautiful, beyond expectations. It was raining and foggy when we went there, and there was no sunrise. However, when the fog cleared, it was also very interesting. It is suitable for individual travelers to stay in the county town, and other places are suitable for self-driving.

Luoping has a prominent karst landform, with basins and ridges alternating and peaks overlapping. Xu Xiake, a great traveler in the Ming Dynasty, once wrote in praise that "Luoping is famous for its eastern scenery". In winter and spring, 300,000 mu of rapeseed flowers bloom in the "world's largest natural garden", forming a golden ocean. The peak forest was selected as the fifth of the "five most beautiful peak forests in China" by the "Beauty China" event of "National Geographic China".

The magical and beautiful Luoping Peak Forest is located at the source of the mighty Pearl River, on the southern foot of the majestic Wumeng Mountains, and at the junction of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou provinces (regions). The peak forest covers an area of ​​about 1,000 square kilometers. The main scenic spots include: Jinji Peak Cluster, Shiwandashan, Wild Monkey Valley, etc.

"Golden Rooster Peak Cluster" is the core scenic spot of the peak forest, where the mountains are connected to each other endlessly, with peaks overlapping and the love of peaks is magnificent. Walking into the peak forest, you will feel ethereal and unpredictable: "Golden Rooster Crows" sings loudly, breaking the dawn; "Fairy on the Cliff" has fluttering clothes and looks like an immortal; "Big Buddha Preaching" is a soul-cleansing sound; "Two Lions Playing" is naive and affectionate... Under the sunlight, the cone-shaped mountain peaks, the majestic momentum, the deep valleys, and the blue sky will surely make you feel your soul floating and feel relaxed and happy.

The Dahei Mountain on the left side of National Highway 324 offers a panoramic view of the Jinji Peak Cluster Scenic Area. Looking at the peaks from afar, each one has a different shape, ranging from a few hundred meters to dozens of meters high, with a variety of shapes, towering and strange, making people dazzled. Suddenly, the mist evaporates, the peaks float, the mist moves with the mountains, and the mountains move with the mist. It is like a thousand horses galloping, with an imposing momentum.

The Jiulong Waterfalls are majestic because of their cramped environment, and the Jinji Peaks are graceful and extensive because of their openness. Luoping County alone has two landscapes selected as the most beautiful in China, and they live up to their reputations.

First of all, the ticket price has increased to 20 yuan. I don't know if it's because of the Spring Festival, but it doubled. It was evening when I went there. Although the sunset at the Jinji Peaks was also beautiful, it was a pity that I couldn't take a photo with my phone. In general, the 20 yuan ticket price is acceptable. It's also quite pleasant to rent a bicycle in the scenic area.

The scenery is nice, and it is the flower blooming season recently. Starting from 2019, the fee is 20 yuan per person. The parking lot in the scenic area is very large, and it costs 15 yuan per car.

The flowers outside the scenic area are much better than those inside the scenic area. I feel that the ticket money is wasted.

I have been to the Jinji Peak Cluster many times. It was free before, and it cost 10 yuan to go up the mountain to take pictures. Now it is charged, 20-30 yuan, I forgot the exact amount. This year after the Spring Festival, it was 20 yuan to go up the mountain, and there was no charge below, but it was charged if you went in October. It is a seasonal attraction, you can see rape flowers in spring and red sorghum in October, it is only grown here!

It took me two consecutive mornings to take a photo of the "Golden Rooster Peak Cluster" in the early morning sun. The location for the photo shoot was on the hillside opposite the Golden Rooster Peak Cluster. There were locals waiting to collect money, 10 yuan per person. The location for the photo shoot was uneven, and it was not very safe to find a place to stand by yourself.

Conical hills of various shapes are dotted in the boundless green and purple-red sea of ​​sorghum. The sorghum has reached the harvest period, and rapeseed will be sown after harvest. Walk along the scenic road for about 3km to reach the highest mountain in the peak cluster - Laojian Mountain. Laojian Mountain has a sightseeing plank road, which is the best viewing point for being there.

There is an observation deck on the Jinji Temple Mountain behind Jinji Village. It is said that the local village charges 10 yuan (collected by the local village committee, fortunately no one charged today). The location is high and you can overlook the panoramic view of the Jinji peaks.

The scenery is pretty good. In fact, you can see it by standing on the roadside. There is no need to rent a bicycle. You can't walk far. The scenery is about one kilometer after entering the door. It's pretty good.

The endless sea of ​​rapeseed flowers and overlapping peaks gradually reveal their true colors through the morning mist. Even though they are shyly half-hidden and half-appearing in the mist, the scenery in front of you is still shocking. In the endless, vast and flat sea of ​​flowers, there are dotted conical hills, each of which is very regular and unconnected, like chess pieces placed on a big chessboard. The flower fields are yellow and green, the fields are crisscrossed, and the mountains rise and fall. I don’t know whether it is the random sway of nature or the intentional work of farmers. Gradually, the clouds and fog dissipated, and the warm winter sun added a bit of brightness to the golden and green fields.

There are many roads in the Jinji Peak Cluster that lead to the depths of the peak cluster. You can also rent a tandem bicycle or ride a ox cart locally. There are two low hills not far from the highway, both of which have viewing platforms, from which you can enjoy the peak cluster from different angles.

A place worth visiting once in a lifetime. It is best to go around the Spring Festival when the rape flowers are in bloom.

Located about 15 kilometers east of Luoping County. The transportation is convenient, and the shuttle buses from Luoping to Xingyi and other directions pass through here. The scenic spot is on the roadside. You need to buy a ticket to enter, and there are battery cars. In addition, there is an observation deck on the other side of the road. The local village charges 10 yuan. The location is high and you can overlook the rapeseed flowers on Jinji Peak. The iconic photos of Jinji Peak were generally taken at this location.

Recommendation: Four stars

To see the rapeseed fields, you must go to the Jinji Peak Cluster. The vast rapeseed fields are dotted with scattered small hills, and the viewing platform on the small hills is also the place with the widest view.

There are four main shooting spots for the Jinji Peak Cluster, one is the Jinji Temple across the road, two plank road viewing platforms in the scenic area, and one is on the highest hillside with a red flag. The plank road is relatively ordinary because it is more convenient to go up. The best spot should be on Hongqi Mountain, but the way up the mountain is not easy to walk, there is no developed dirt road, and the Jinji Temple is suitable for wide-angle panoramic views.

We heard several waves of tourists say in the rapeseed fields: "It's so beautiful, I really want to stay here forever!" The typical karst peaks of Jinji Peak Cluster, coupled with large rapeseed fields, attract a large number of tourists from home and abroad. I hope that the local customs will not be so easily swallowed up by commercialization and gradually improve!

The golden fields and dense peaks and forests are even more beautiful with the morning mist.

The Jinji Peak Cluster is right beside the national road. Although there is no entrance fee, a parking fee of 20 yuan is required. Follow the crowd to climb the only hill nearby, and you can see the golden beauty.

Jinji Peak Cluster is the best place to see rapeseed flowers in Luoping County. The conical hills of karst landforms are connected to each other, and the large stretches of rapeseed flowers on the dam at the foot of the mountain are very beautiful and spectacular. If you want to watch the sunrise, you need to go to the viewing platform of Jinji Mountain. The local village committee charges admission tickets, 20 yuan before 8 am and 10 yuan after 8 am. There is a small hill opposite Jinji Mountain that you can climb to watch the sunrise without charging. I bought a few bottles of honey at the local farmhouse, which is pretty good, cheap and real.

Luoping's main scenic spot, you must go, and go at the right time to watch the sunrise

Jinji Peak Cluster (also called Jinji Ridge) is located in the northeast of the county. When you arrive at Jinji Peak Cluster, no one comes to collect tickets. The car only needs to pay a parking fee of 15 yuan. Many women come to sell wreaths for taking pictures. Rapeseed flowers are everywhere. Why do tens of thousands of photography enthusiasts and tourists come to this small county town from afar to admire rapeseed flowers every year? It is because of the unique geological features here. Based on this, we did not choose to get close to the sea of ​​flowers first, but to find a place to watch the big scene first. There is an observation deck on the mountain behind Jinji Village. The path is quite obvious. There is an iron gate. I don’t know if it was installed by several villagers themselves. There are ticket sellers at the iron gate. The ticket is 10 yuan. It looks like the villagers are collecting it. The money is not much, so they don’t care so much. The mountain is not high, but everyone is panting when they climb up. Looking down from a high place, the view is suddenly clear, and the beautiful scenery is presented in front of you. There are countless cone-shaped hills in Jinji Peak, which are arranged in an orderly manner in the flower fields. Under the sunlight, the cone-shaped mountain peaks and the dyed sky will surely make you feel relaxed and happy.

The rapeseed fields in Luoping are dotted with small hills, which is quite unique. You can get close to the flowers by walking down the hill and passing the parking lot entrance. (Special reminder: First, pay attention to sun protection; second, there are bees buzzing everywhere in the flower fields, so be careful not to be attacked by them.)

The endless rapeseed flowers can really be described as a sea of ​​flowers. The blue sky, the sea of ​​flowers, and the green mountains, this gorgeous color should be a healing color. People who see it can't help but feel happy.

My friend suggested that we go to the alleys at the foot of the mountain. The alleys were very narrow, and some places were really only one car wide. But we didn't expect that after going around, we suddenly found a bright and open space. There were no cars and no people. The rape flowers were in full bloom, very dense, and there was no damage without tourists. The five of us were very happy as if we had discovered a new continent. After taking pictures, we rushed to the Jinji Peak Cluster again before the sun went down, and climbed up to the observation deck again. Although we didn't see the perfect sunset we imagined, we didn't have any regrets. Special reminder: If you want to go to the observation deck again, you can negotiate with the ticket seller not to buy a ticket, provided that you keep the ticket.

Due to the heavy fog and poor visibility that day, we couldn't see the rapeseed fields clearly when we went up the mountain. The Jinji Peaks in the distance were even harder to see, so we could only take some close-up photos.

Jinji Peak Scenic Area is one of the main viewing spots for Luoping rapeseed flower sea. Tens of thousands of acres of rapeseed fields bloomed at the same time under the blue sky and white clouds, and the ground was golden, like a sea of ​​flowers. The peaks and ridges inlaid in the sea of ​​flowers were like islands and reefs in the golden ocean, which was very magnificent. In order to enjoy the beautiful scenery and take beautiful pictures, we drove to the scenic viewing platform in the dark at 6:30. We thought it was quite early, but when we arrived, there were already crowds of people, three layers of people inside and outside, sticking to their respective camera positions. Some had been waiting here for more than two hours, so there was no need to think about the camera position. At about 7:40, the sun rose in the east, and people exclaimed. The sun rose slowly, and the Jinji Peak flower sea in the morning light appeared in front of people. The clicking sound continued. Because there was no good camera position, we took a few pictures and withdrew.

You have to pay to enter the rapeseed flower garden, based on the amount per person, even children as young as three years old are accepted. The rapeseed flower garden is basically coming to an end.

This is indeed worthy of its name, beautiful, so beautiful! A perfect spot for viewing flowers.

The scenery is beautiful, both sunrise and sunset are worth seeing.

There were two disappointing things on this trip. First, I wanted to watch the sunrise at Jinji Peak, but there was heavy fog in the morning when I arrived. There was still fog when it got light, so I didn't get to see the sunrise. Second, the rapeseed fields at Jinji Peak were not connected, and there were several gaps. Most of the gaps were in the middle, which gave people a fragmented feeling. But there was one good thing, which was that the stairs leading up the mountain were built very smoothly and had guardrails. There was a smooth viewing platform on the top of the mountain, which was very safe.

From Xingyi to Luoping, get off the highway at Banqiao. About 20 kilometers after getting off the highway, you will arrive at Jinjiling Village. It is more than 10 kilometers away from Luoping and is a good spot to see Luoping rapeseed flowers. It is free of charge.



Luoping rapeseed flowers are said to be the earliest rapeseed flowers to bloom in the country.



Jinji Ridge is right next to Jinji Village. You can park your car in the village (many people can park in their yards or at their doors for 10 yuan) and go up the mountain in a few minutes. You can also park in a large parking lot next to the village.



There is a viewing platform on Jinji Ridge, from which you can see the panoramic view of the Jinji Peaks opposite.



Climbing up Jinjiling, it is said that you can take pictures of the morning mist before 9 o'clock. It is true. When we arrived, it was already 9:30, a little late.



It is said that if you want to take pictures of the sunrise here in the morning, you have to come early to grab a spot.



Sunrise is around seven o'clock.



There are also two viewing platforms built on the hills in the rapeseed field. Although they are not very high, they are convenient and the view is still good.



In addition, there is a very popular tourist attraction called Luositian in the north of the county seat, and the main venue of the rapeseed flower festival is in another place.

Overall it's good. I took a bus from Jiulong Waterfall. The scenic area is not a rip-off, and both viewing platforms are free. The battery car is 30 per person, which is also cheap.

The rape flowers have faded, and only a few plots of land are still in bloom. Don't come to see it (20180316). You need to pay for taking pictures, and each plot of land has a different fee. I don't recommend buying the honey sold locally. I bought it today and it feels a bit of a rip-off. It's much more expensive than other things.

It can be said to be the best place to see rapeseed flowers~~~~ Endless rapeseed fields! ! ! It seems to be submerged in the sea of ​​rapeseed flowers

The scenery is really good, the rape flowers are in full bloom, very yellow and violent, especially when the sun sets, the colors are very gorgeous. The transportation is also very convenient. There are buses to Jinji Peak Cluster from Luoping Bus Station and North Bus Station. The fare is 5 yuan. The scenic area is free, but it is now under construction. I don’t know if there will be a charge next year.

The main scenery in Luoping is the rape flowers in February and March. The scenery is concentrated in the Jinji Peak Cluster and Luoping Basin (including the Luoping Aviation Campground). Other places such as the Jiulong Waterfall are not worth seeing.

After seeing the rapeseed flowers here, there is no need to go anywhere else

The natural scenery is great, and the rapeseed flowers are spectacular! No tickets are required, and you can bargain for the ox cart. The price was 100, and we took 50! I didn't know that cars could drive in when I went there for the first time. There is a small tunnel that can drive into the rapeseed field!

The earliest rapeseed flowers in the country are here, and the best time to visit is before the Spring Festival. The endless terraced fields of the Jinji Peaks, combined with the karst landforms, attract photographers. In addition, this 10,000-acre sea of ​​flowers is also very suitable for family cycling.

A recommended scenic spot, very beautiful, with scattered small peaks and large golden rapeseed flowers, very beautiful! The parking lot is 15 yuan per car, the scenic area is free, and the bathroom is 1 yuan per person. We went in by ox cart, which cost 60 yuan for a round trip. We can get off and take pictures halfway. It is recommended to go in by ox cart, because there are many people near the viewing platform, and it is not easy to take pictures. After going in by ox cart, you can take pictures of large rapeseed flowers at will, and then go to the viewing platform to stroll around after sitting out. It's good 👍, but the wind is too strong

The rape flowers here are magnificent, and the snail fields are more delicate and exquisite, which is worth a visit. I happened to go to the village market and had a bowl of jelly, which was delicious. It is best not to buy honey on the road, as they are all sugar.

Get up early to watch the sunrise. It's a little foggy, but still beautiful. There are fields of rapeseed flowers.

2017-2-21

The weather was good, and the sunrise at Jinji Peak was the most beautiful! It would be more convenient if you stayed at the farmhouse at Jinji Peak! Unfortunately, I didn't do a good job of planning, and I booked Luoping Rongting Holiday Hotel, which was too expensive! However, Luoping rapeseed flowers are still worth seeing, and the original ecological scenery is better than Wuyuan!

It must be recommended with five stars. Riding a double or quad bike by yourself and going around the Jinji Peak Cluster will give you a different experience~

There are actually multiple viewing platforms in the Jinji Peak Cluster Scenic Area, with different angles. Due to time constraints, we can only find which one to go up. The viewing platform we went to is actually a temple called "Jinji Lingyi Temple". The foot of the mountain is very close to the viewing platform, and it only takes more than 10 minutes to reach the viewing platform. The best position is on the high platform near the west side. When we arrived, the viewing platform was almost crowded with people. The magical thing is that there was only one person in the best west position! Hurry up and take the camera and prepare to shoot~ The location of this viewing platform is very subtle. The left side is the west and the right side is the east. You can shoot both sunrise and sunset. And right in front is the southeast direction. You can still shoot the faint Milky Way before dawn~ No one expected that there would be an unusually spectacular early glow in the Jinji Peak Cluster that day! This may be the most spectacular red cloud in the sky that my wife and I have encountered in so many sunrises! After shooting the sunrise, I found that the small viewing platform was once again crowded, and even some slightly protruding stones were full of people! There was even a person squatting under my tripod...

I arrived at Luoping Station at 7 am on the 24th, and took a taxi to catch the 7:30 sunrise over the Jinji Peaks. However, by then, the Jinji Peaks Observation Deck had already been occupied by a group of grandpas and grandmas with tripods and SLR cameras. It might have been because of the rain in the previous few days, and there was heavy fog after sunrise. I didn’t see the golden rapeseed flowers under the clear sky, which was a pity. What’s more regrettable is that there are a lot of lands below Jinji Peak that are not planted with rapeseed flowers. Here and there, it looks like a torn piece of clothing with patches everywhere, which is so ugly. The local government doesn’t pay enough attention to give farmers some subsidies, so that they can plant rapeseed flowers in the scenic area and promote its tourism reputation. It’s a typical case of guarding a treasure mountain without knowing how to use it. In addition, there will be a rapeseed festival at noon tomorrow on the 25th. I heard that celebrities such as Jin Sha and Fan Yichen have been invited to come, but it’s a pity that I can’t go to see it.

We went there at around 8:30 in the morning. There weren't many people. There were large fields of rapeseed flowers and many facilities were under construction. The sightseeing bus cost 30 yuan per person and it took about 1 hour to get back. Then there were crowds of people.

Since we stayed at an inn near the Jinji Peaks, we walked to the mountainside in the morning to look forward to the sunrise. Tickets are required here, 20 yuan per person if the weather is good, and 10 yuan if the weather is bad. You can also taste the local rapeseed flower delicacies when staying here, the beef hot pot tastes good, and there are various original green plants. It is easy to make people fat, so walk more.

February to March every year is the blooming period of rapeseed flowers in Luoping. I drove to Luoping with my family. There are many people watching the scenery during the peak season. It is best to go early, before 6 o'clock. Otherwise, the viewing hill is very small and there will be no place to stand if there are too many people.



This year, a parking lot was specially built and the fee is 15 yuan



You can ride bullock carts, electric cars and bicycles inside, but the fees are relatively high. I don't recommend riding them, especially bullock carts. The cows inside are so hot that they are foaming at the mouth, and some of them can't stand steadily.



Because of the karst landform, cone-shaped mountains of various shapes are dotted in the endless green and yellow ocean. The viewing platforms on these mountains are free of charge. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, you can see the Jinji peaks in full view.

A golden land, lingering. Book the hotel in advance, otherwise it is difficult to book.

The scenery is very beautiful. From February to April every year is the rapeseed flower season in Yunnan. We took our children on a self-driving tour during the New Year holiday. We did not go to watch the sunrise. We arrived at the observation deck south of Jinji Village at around 9:00. The parking lot is large, and there are many on-site maintenance personnel. The order is OK. The parking fee is 15 yuan. The stage visit or the simple toilet are free. You can also rent a bullock cart, a family bicycle or a double bicycle to travel deep into the rapeseed field. Passing by a large market, there are colorful glutinous rice, jelly noodles, baked potatoes, baked rice cakes, freshly squeezed blood orange juice, coconuts... The price has not increased due to the peak tourist season. It is worth recommending.

Trash level, low-class place. All kinds of unreasonable, only care about making money, unable to provide service. There is a farmer's market at the entrance, all kinds of dirty and messy. Boring and boring

Don't worry, it's beautiful! It would be even more perfect if there were fewer people.

It was around February 9, 2018. During the Spring Festival, the temperature could reach over 25 degrees. Today, it was 15 degrees.

It is said that Luoping is the first rapeseed field in China to bloom. Whether standing on the Jinji Peak overlooking the vast golden rapeseed fields and karst landforms, or walking through the Jinji Peaks and watching the rapeseed flowers swaying in the wind, it is a great experience.

Unfortunately it was a cloudy day when I went there, but I still felt the breathtaking beauty.

In early spring and during the Spring Festival holiday, Luoping is a sea of ​​blooming flowers, it is worth a visit!

Dear bee lovers, you don't need to go to Luoping to see the rapeseed flowers this year. I saw the rapeseed flowers in Luoping on February 4th, and they were almost frozen to death. I don't know if they will bloom again after the cold wave is over. The rapeseed flowers look like this now. Bee lovers who want to go can make their own decision.

Luoping is a place that you can't go to. The highway is closed and you can't go anywhere. It's a magical place!

Very beautiful, very beautiful, very beautiful! It is one of the three major rapeseed flower viewing bases in China, second only to Menyuan in Qinghai and Wuyuan in Jiangxi. This is not exaggerated... It is recommended to go in April and May when the rapeseed flowers are in bloom!
