2. Luoping County, Kunming City, Yunnan Province

Time to See: middle of February

While leaving Kunming City by bus, you will see fields and fields of rape flowers along the way, the densest being in Luoping County.

It's like a piece of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony performed on the stage of Luoping. The widely-spread Stone Forests form the bass line and the large carpet of golden rape flowers are the soprano to the red soil and green fields as the mediant.
