About Dongchuan Red Land

Iron in the soil contributes to the red colour, while planting, harvest, rain and sunlight alter the appearance through the year. Luoxiagou and Jinxiu Garden are named viewpoints for comparing the patterns. The attractions are distributed along rural roads, so choose several stops with a driver or arranged transport and keep out of working fields.

What to look for

  • Luoxiagou gives a named perspective on the red-soil farming landscape.
  • Jinxiu Garden reveals layered fields and villages against the surrounding hills.

Location & getting there

Getting to Dongchuan Red Land

Use Huashitou in Dongchuan’s red-land area as the road base, then arrange transfers to Luoxiagou and Jinxiu Garden. Specify Huashitou rather than Dongchuan’s urban centre, which is a different destination.

General visit reminders

Allow room for the terrain and weather when choosing your route. Check the operator’s current trail, shuttle and cableway notices where applicable, and confirm the return connection before setting out. A broad landscape pin does not identify every trailhead or access point.
