A photography paradise composed of red land

Brief introduction of red land in Dongchuan, Kunming

Dongchuan Red Land is located in the northeast of Kunming. Because the soil contains more iron and aluminum, it forms a dazzling crimson. The land is divided into color blocks by fields and crops. Looking from a distance, it is colorful, and the blue sky and white clouds are even more spectacular. In recent years, red land has gradually become a photographer's paradise. There are several best times to play on red soil: April to May, when wheat is ripe, September to 65438+February, when buckwheat and rape flowers are in full bloom, February to March, when there is occasional snow in the field. Because the scenic spots in the red land are far away, if you need to shoot the sunset and sunrise, it is recommended to spend the night in Huashitou Village. Most of the villages are farmhouses, which are relatively cheap, but the sanitary conditions are acceptable. The inn provides catering, and the price is not expensive, so it can be solved nearby.

The scenic spots of red land are scattered, and there is an obvious fork in the road near Huashitou Village, which is the intersection of Huashitou Village and Kunming in Hongtudi Town, Dongchuan District. The three lines can connect the main scenic spots of the red land in series, forming three main viewing routes: northwest line, northeast line and south line. The easiest way to visit the red land is to rent a car, generally 250-300 yuan per day in Dongchuan. So you can run three lines a day, stop at the roadside at any time, and don't miss any beautiful scenery. Regular shooting route: Sunrise in Damakan, other times in Colorful Slope, Jinxiu Park, Music Slot and Old Dragon Tree. In the evening, it goes to Luoxiagou to shoot the sunset.

Northwest line

From south to north, the scenic spots are Land of Waves, Splendid Park, Colorful Slope and Damakan. The land is located in the west of Sanchakou, and the terraces are like rolling waves, hence the name. Colorful slope and fairview park are actually the same land, but from different angles, it will bring different visual impacts. Due to the cultivation of crops such as big potatoes and buckwheat, the flowering period is quite spectacular and colorful. Ma Kan, located at the northernmost part of the northwest line, is the best place to shoot the sunrise.

Northeast line

The scenic spots along the south to the north are Dapingtang, Laolongshu, Dongguawan, Luoxiagou and Moon Field. The old dragon tree is a thousand-year-old fir tree, standing alone on the red land, simple and vicissitudes. Every May, when the terraced fields are watered and transplanted, the lines of Luoxiagou are like a lute. Moreover, Luoxiagou is one of the best places to shoot sunset and sunset in the evening. Moon Field is about 20 kilometers away from Huashitou Village, where terraced landscape and canyon landscape are integrated, with extremely rich levels. This is the favorite place of many photographers.

South line

The south line is the road to Kunming, and there are some scenic spots on both sides, such as music notch, Dawotang and Dayakou. The concave music score is only one kilometer away from Huashitou Village. Layers of almost horizontal terraces are like colorful staff, and farmers working in the fields are just a little bit of notes, which are lifelike.
