Known by Chinese National Geography as "the most spectacular rapeseed flower sea on Earth"

🌼The golden romance of spring is here! The sea of flowers in Luoping is writing the most healing fairy tale of 2025! 🌅 Stand early on the observation deck of Jinji Peak Cluster, and the golden waves in the morning mist surge under your feet. Now you'll understand why Chinese National Geography calls this place "the most spectacular rapeseed flower sea on Earth". 📅Flowering Period Status 🌼Luoping's million acres of rapeseed flowers have entered their full bloom! The core scenic spots such as Jinji Peak Cluster and Luosi Field are covered with golden waves. The best viewing period is expected to last until around March 20. Hurry up, flower chasers! ⚠️Avoid the Crowds: The number of tourists has surged this year, so it is recommended to avoid weekends and arrive at the scenic spot before 7 am on a working day to enjoy the flower sea all to yourself. 🌟Three Must-Visit Attractions 1️⃣Jinji Peak Cluster - A fairyland where sunrise, sea of clouds, and sea of flowers intertwine 📸How to enjoy: Arrive at the observation deck at 5:30 in the morning (ticket price: CNY 30) and grab a front-row seat! When the morning mist is lingering, the karst peaks are looming, matched with the golden light of the sunrise. You can take a blockbuster film like National Geographic with a casual shot. 📷Hidden spot: The "Daheishan Observation Deck" in the scenic area has fewer people and a wider view. Drones can capture the geometric beauty of the peaks and flower fields (restricted flying areas require reporting). 2️⃣Jiulong Waterfalls - A symphony of waterfalls and flower seas 🚶Route: Enter from the west gate → take the cable car (CNY 25 for a one-way trip) to the observation deck on the top of the mountain → walk down the mountain and unlock the spectacle of "waterfalls through flowers" along the way. No. 4 Waterfall Viewing Platform allows you to capture the golden terraced fields and the rainbow of the waterfall at the same time. 👟Tips: Wear non-slip shoes! The steps are slippery after rain, but the amount of water in the waterfall is more spectacular (ticket price: CNY 65, bamboo raft experience: CNY 25/person). 3️⃣Niujie Luosi Field - The magical terraced fields like God's fingerprints 📸Shooting time: 4-6 pm, when the sunlight is oblique, the spiral texture is the most three-dimensional. The free viewing platform is next to the highway. Pay CNY 5 to go to the villagers' self-built terrace for a broader view. 🚶Nearby things to do: Visit the Buyi ethnic village along the way, taste the colorful flower rice, listen to the mountain songs, and feel the original ethnic customs. 🚗Transportation + Accommodation Guide 🚗Self-driving: Kunming → Luoping is about 3 hours, navigate to "Jinji Peak Cluster", parking fee is CNY 15/day. 🚄High-speed train: Kunming South → Luoping Station (1.5 hours), take a taxi for 20 minutes from the station to the sea of flowers. 🏠Accommodation: 🏕️Flower Sea Camping: Weiguang Xinghe Camp, you can see the starry sky flower fields when you open the window. 🏨County Town Value for Money: Luoping Yunzhimeng Hotel, including free pick-up and drop-off service to the scenic spot. 🍜Must-eat list: 🍯Rapeseed Honey Roasted Ciba: Freshly roasted by the flower fields, CNY 5/piece, sweet and glutinous but not greasy. 🍲Quanguo Soup: Buyi ethnic lamb soup pot, CNY 40 per person. ❗Avoid the Crowds 💸The "honey" in the scenic area is a mixture of real and fake. Make sure to identify the villagers who are shaking the honey on the spot (about CNY 50/0.5 kg). 👟Do not wear high heels! The muddy road in the flower field is slippery, it is recommended to wear sports shoes + straw hat for sun protection. 🌍Do not step on the flower fields! Some areas have paid photo spots (CNY 10/person) to support sustainable tourism.
