After breakfast, your guide and driver will meet you at your hotel and then escort you to Dongchuan Red Land for about 3 hours’ driving (150km northeast from Kunming downtown). Dongchuan Red Land located at 1,800-2,600 meters above sea is the most typical, featured and grand red land in the whole world. Favored by azure sky, white clouds and unpredictable light beams, it is also loved by world nature lovers and photographers to capture its unique spectacular beauty of lines, patches and colors!
In the afternoon, you will first go to visit Shuipingzi that is also called Yueliangtian (Moon Farmland) and featured with canyon scenery and terraced fields. Fill your eyes with the endlessly reaching red land hills rolling gently and find that one patch looking like a jade Chinese lute. The layers of fields will be irrigated into various geometric mirrors in spring and dress by golden carpets in autumn for your visual capture.
Then, go to have a close look at the thousand-year-old Ancient Tree which is a giant ancient fir tree over 1,000 years old like a god protecting the vast red land. Later, visit Luoxiagou (Sunset Valley) to see the picturesque landscape of various bright and dark red colors with several white rural houses dotted on in the middle, which is one of the most beautiful sceneries of Dongchuan Red Land. You will catch the resplendent sunset with soft light shining down on the pieces of red and green land like a fairyland on earth or a luxury attire of corduroy. With villagers riding their little vehicle back to their rural houses after cultivation, the scene in front your eyes is a real idyllic painting of nature and people.
After that, be escorted back to your hotel. Have a good sleep!
