Tourism strategy of Dongchuan red land

From Kunming to Hongtu, there are currently two routes to choose from: the first one is to take Kunqu Opera and Dai Song Expressway, and the second one is to take a sedan chair to visit the snow-capped mountains. They are described as follows:

Article 1: Starting from Kunming, enter Kunming Expressway-Song Kun Expressway-Songming Expressway-Dai Song Expressway-after seeing the Dongchuan sign, you will find the Longtan exit-Dongchuan District (the label of this expressway is not very clear and misleading, so don't take G85 1 1 after entering the expressway, you must enter from the left exit). Under the Dai Song Expressway, you will also go to the red land.

Article 2: From Phuket Interchange in the northwest of Kunming, enter the "Jiaozi Snow Mountain Tourism Special Line", and after arriving at Ruodian Town (also known as Majie Street by locals), turn to the red land direction, and the whole journey is about 150 km. The section from Kunming to Ruodian is a special tourist line, with a total length of about 100 km. The road surface is in good condition and the average speed can reach 80 kilometers per hour. If the store is about 50 kilometers from Hongtu, most of them are country roads, with an average speed of about 40 ~ 50 kilometers per hour.

Contrast: The overall road condition of the first line is good, but the line is longer (more than 200 kilometers). After getting off the expressway, there is about 50 kilometers of Panshan Road, which takes about 3 to 4 hours by car. The second route is shorter (150km) and takes 2-3 hours by car. At the same time, it should be noted that the sedan chair snow mountain tourist special line was completed and opened to traffic in February 20 12+ 12, and the road surface is in good condition. Crossing the first Gao Qiao Maguohe Bridge in Yunnan, the road surface is180m away from the river surface, which exceeds the height of the original Yunnan Honghe Bridge163m. The scenery is spectacular and worth seeing.

Bus:

There are buses from Kunming to Dongchuan in Kunming North Bus Station. The fare is 49 yuan, and the journey takes about 3 hours. There is a good local hotel, Red Earth Impression Hotel (quasi-four-star). The standard room costs about 200 ~ 300 yuan, and there are presidential suites to choose from. This hotel has hot water supply 24 hours a day. In addition, there are many local farmhouses, photography bases and hotels with good sanitary conditions. The standard room price is around 60 to 80, and the price is relatively affordable. Living in a farmhouse hotel, the air is fresh, the quality of sleep is much better than usual, and you can also experience the life in the countryside. Both rooms have separate bathrooms and showers. The local food is ok, more affordable and the taste is ok. It is recommended to eat local small vegetables often. There is a kind of vegetable that is very refreshing and delicious after cooking and frying.

It should be noted that there are generally many tourists during the "Golden Week", so it is best to make an appointment in advance for holiday travel, otherwise there may be accommodation problems. Dongchuan noodles

Speaking of Dongchuan, I will definitely mention noodles. In the morning, the breakfast shop on the street is the busiest. Hot noodles are not only the most common breakfast for local people, but also a must-eat specialty for businessmen and tourists from all over the country. Dongchuan noodles are one of the best noodles in Yunnan. They are silky, cooked for a long time and fragrant. Dongchuan noodles are delicious because they use mountain spring water from Guniuzhai Mountain, which is a "secret" that everyone in Dongchuan knows. Because noodles are famous, Dongchuan has built several large noodle factories, and noodles have become excellent gifts for relatives and friends.

Dongchuan mutton

Dongchuan mutton tastes delicious. Sheep are raised in the mountains above 3000 meters above sea level, collecting nectar and eating fat grass. Coupled with the unique cooking skills of Dongchuan people. Soup pot, braise in soy sauce, braise in soy sauce and so on.

Golden potato (potato)

Speaking of potatoes, they used to be called "Dongchuan potatoes". Due to the discovery of a large number of gold deposits in Boca area of Dongchuan, Dongchuan has become an international "gold-seeking fever" and a barometer of the world gold industry. The big potatoes in Dongchuan are exposed, and you may eat gold if you are not careful. Because of this, commonly known as "golden potato", there are many ways to eat it. Fried potatoes and baked potatoes are the most traditional methods.

Yak hot pot, yak dry bar

Yaks in Dongchuan were originally introduced from Tibet. After several years of breeding, it has now formed a high-quality variety with unique body shape, meat quality and taste. Yak ganba is delicate, not fishy and full of flavor. Yak hot pot is delicious, but it is not delicious if you don't eat it.

Buckwheat Baba dipped in honey

This is a very precious dish with Shan Ye flavor. Have you ever seen tartary buckwheat? Flowers bloom beautifully, all over the red land of Shan Ye. Flowers look good, buckwheat Baba is delicious. Tartary buckwheat is naturally bitter, so it is eaten with honey. The same is true of hard-won life. Snacks are also integrated into the philosophy of life and have a unique natural taste.

The delicacies of Dongchuan, nourished by the beautiful water of Lingshan, have merged the flavors of all parts of China and created a unique food culture. Although there are no complicated styles and lengthy etiquette, the taste is quite authentic. Traveling to Dongchuan and tasting delicious food is a very rare experience in life, which will relax your taste buds.

Dongchuan and scenic spots are mainly spicy, and rice noodles are more common. Dongchuan is cheaper to eat, and there are many small restaurants, such as "braised beef", "clear soup and instant-boiled mutton", "fried beef jerky with dried Chili" and "fried heart". In addition, Dongchuan Red Land also has the unique meaning of eating farm food. Shooting:

Enthusiasts suggest staying for two nights as much as possible, because the weather is constantly changing and many classic photos will be taken. I will watch it in Damakan in the morning, go to colorful slopes, splendid pastoral areas, concave music scores and sacred trees at other times, and shoot the sunset in Luoxiagou at night.

Shower:

Most local hotels use solar hot water. If there are too many tourists, the hot water supply may be insufficient. Please pay attention to the shower ~

Keep warm:

The weather in Kunming doesn't change much throughout the year. Because it is on the mountain, the temperature in the scenic spot is 4-8 degrees lower than that in Dongchuan at the foot of the mountain. In many places, the wind is strong, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is also large. In addition to July -65438+ 10, it is best to bring a long-sleeved windbreaker in other seasons to prevent colds. Red land belongs to Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with strong ultraviolet rays, so you should pay attention to sun protection during daytime activities. "Red Land" is located in the northeast of Kunming, belonging to the red land town under the jurisdiction of Dongchuan District of Kunming. The distance from Kunming to the center of the scenic spot is about 250 kilometers (another highway passes through Shuangshao-Fazheyue 198 kilometers). The main scenic spots are between 1800 and 2600, and the starting point of the scenic spots is about 45 kilometers from the horizontal terraced fields to the end point of Kamdjo, Malaysia.

The best time to shoot scenic spots is from mid-May to early June, and from mid-late 10 to 165438+ 10 every year. It's another flavor when it snows in winter, but it's very likely that the road will freeze and be impassable.

1, backpacking: (Kunming-Dongchuan District-Red Land-Dongchuan District-Kunming)

Kunming-Dongchuan District. The main route is usually to take the shuttle bus from the northern passenger station in Kunming. The departure time between the two places is about 7: 00 a.m. to 7: 00 p.m. 19: 00 p.m., and you can leave when you are full, so don't wait too long. Price 55 yuan/person (1 yuan is insurance).

Dongchuan district-red land scenic spot. The rural passenger station in Dongchuan District has a shuttle bus to Fazhe, passing through the main tourist settlements such as Huagou and Huashitou, where the red land is located. The ticket office shows that there are only two trains at 8: 00 a.m. and 65438+ 02: 50 p.m. every day, but there are often cars returning to Dongchuan District through Huagou in the residential areas of scenic spots. You might as well ask the conductor more at the ticket office. Price 23 yuan/person.

Another way to get to the red land is to rent a car in the parking lot of the rental company in Dongchuan District. Generally, the price of a car is 100-150, and within two people (depending on the model and the old and new pricing, Wuling steamed stuffed bun is mostly, Geely and Jetta are better), the price will increase relatively with each additional person. If there are 4-6 people, you might as well wrap a bun. Too much luggage won't do. Full price 200-around 250 yuan. I suggest you bargain hard. They all bid high. (The above prices were inquired during the May Day holiday and are for reference only. )

Return to Dongchuan bus station from the red land scenic spot twice a day, but see many buses passing by in Huagou. It's best to know from the store. Dongchuan-Kunming price 34 yuan/person. If you want to rent a car back to Kunming in time, take Li Xia as an example. The price ranges from 180-250, excluding the toll.

2. Self-driving: Kunming-Dongchuan District-Red Land

Self-driving cars generally go in from Kunming, and you can also go to Dongchuan District from Shaoyang and Qujing.

From Kunming, enter Kunming Expressway-Song Kun Expressway-Songming Expressway-Dai Song Expressway-Longtan Exit-Dongchuan District. If you have GPS, you can use it as a guide to enter the entrance of Kunming Kunming Expressway. Just look at the road signs when you get to the expressway. The instructions are clear, and there is no need to continue using GPS navigation. In addition, when you get off at the Longtan exit of Dai Song Expressway, there will soon be a fork in the road, and both sides will be instructed to go to Dongchuan District. On the right is the old road, mostly Panshan Highway. On the left is the new road, which is the only way to the red land. The instructions are very clear, and it is recommended to go this way.

By the way, I would like to remind friends who use the version below Turing LT5.028c that the guide for locating "Huagou" from Dongchuan District is wrong. That road became Dongchuan's annual beach cross-country sunbathing road. If it's not a good SUV, don't take any chances.

Self-driving (Chongqing-Hongtudi): The shortcut is: Chongqing-Neijiang, Sichuan-Zigong-Yibin-Zhaotong, Yunnan-Qujing-Dongchuan-Hongtudi Town. GPS will remind you to get off at Huize County, Qujing City, and then go to Dongchuan along the mountain road, which is an extremely wrong route. The road sucks. It will take another five or six hours. Northern tourists from northern Sichuan, after entering Sichuan, just go down to Dongchuan in the direction of Neijiang-Yibin. If you don't drive by car, you usually need to rent a car for the scenic spots taken in the scenic spot. You can ask the store for help where you live.

Starting from Dongchuan, the scenic spots that pass in turn are:

Shuipingzi Terrace Scenic Area (commonly known as Moon Terrace)-Songmaopeng Luoxiagou Scenic Area-Huagou (Laohuagou) Millennium Longshu Scenic Area-Red Land Grand View-T-junction fork point.

At the fork of the T-junction, there are colorful slopes, Jinxiu Garden and Damakan on the right, and Lepu 'ao, Luosi Bay and Wafangdian in Kunming on the left.

Note: Each scenic spot has its own characteristics, especially the scenery changes in different periods. Is it better to shoot at sunrise or sunset? That depends on everyone's own preferences. Personally, I think that shooting such scenery on the plateau can produce good works in almost every place and every moment except the sun.

In addition, the local people say that the red land after the rain is particularly gorgeous. However, I found that the color of red soil was rather dull in the morning, but it was much better in the middle of the night.
