General presentation
Dongchuan Red Land
Mosaic of very eroded red crops and soils cover the rural highlands northeast of Kunming.
To understand what Dongchuan Red Lands is, you must look at the Red Lands of Dongchuan, Luoxiagou Belvedere and Jiaozi Snowy Mount. These places give you a view of a territory marked by the countryside, mountain reliefs and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Place indismissible
Dongchuan Red Land
The agricultural plots draw red, green and golden stripes whose appearance changes with the cultures and light. An early visit allows you to better observe the local uses and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and the traffic.
Viewpoint
Belvédère de Luoxiagou
A deeply cultivated valley is discovered from several points of view near the villages of Huashitou. An early visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
Place indismissible
Snowy mountain Jiaozi
This seasonal snow-covered top dominates the red plateaus and protects alpine meadows, forests and waterfalls north of Kunming. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked before departure; water, suitable clothing and hourly margin remain useful, even during the most favorable season.
