2 Days Dongchuan Red Soil Land Tour
Feast your eyes on the beautiful colors of Dongchuan Red Land scenery!
Dongchuan Red Soil boasts the most typical red soil in Yunnan's highland. Experts regard it as one of the most marvelous red land in the world, comparable with the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Visiting this area, you will be deeply impressed by its beautiful scenery. Landscapes in deep red, green and orange spread over thousands of hills and mountains.
The wind blows and the plants in the fields wave tenderly. It looks like a colorful picture drawn by nature. Having a look at it from a distance it actually looks more than an oil painting of Van Gough. The real creators though are the local farmers who 'painted' this naturally beautiful picture over the last centuries. They ploughed and seeded and over the years they created one of the most beautiful areas in China, perfectly suited for photography enthusiasts.
