Highlights
Dubbed as the palette of the earth, Red Land in Dongchuan District of Kunming is an ideal destination of photographers who are in search of exquisite works. 

 

Time
All the year round. Generally speaking, one would absolutely shoot different views in four seasons of the year. Spring: flowers of potatoes and highland buckwheat grown by the local peasants. Summer: stripes of gleaming plastic films that look like woodcuts. Autumn: patches of canola flowers and sunset glow. Winter: snow.

 

Tips
The Red Land is on the plateau with an altitude of 2,400 meters above the sea level; it could be undoubtedly deemed to be cold or even frigid as the temperature varies much within the day.
