About Luoping
At Jinji Peak Cluster, isolated and grouped hills rise above the farmland; at Niujie’s Luositian, curved fields create a different, bowl-like pattern. Rapeseed flowers turn these settings yellow during the flowering season, but blooming dates vary with weather and farming. Treat the two areas as separate countryside stops from Luoping, and use recognised paths and viewpoints without stepping into the crop.
What to look for
- Jinji Peak Cluster combines limestone hills with surrounding fields.
- Niujie Luositian shows curved field patterns, especially distinct during rapeseed flowering.
Background & history
Luoping County (Chinese: 罗平县; pinyin: Luópíng Xiàn) is located in Qujing City, in eastern Yunnan province, China. It borders Xingyi, Guizhou to the east, Xilin County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to the southeast, Shizong County to the southwest, and Luliang County, Qilin District and Fuyuan County, Yunnan to the northwest. The county of Luoping in eastern Yunnan is noted for its springtime scenery, when its fields of canola (also known as rapeseed) plants are in full bloom, surrounding the area's mountains with a blanket of golden flowers. Located near where Yunnan meets Guizhou and Guangxi, Luoping is about 240 kilometers east of Kunming. Not unlike the terraced fields of Yuanyang in southern Yunnan, Luoping's canola fields attract many photographers. The canola flowering lasts until late June. During this high travel season for the county regular buses leave from Kunming's bus stations on an almost hourly basis.
