Rapeseed Fields in Luoping, China
Luoping is a small county in eastern Yunnan, China, located
about 228 kilometers north east of Kunming close to the border of Yunnan
with Guizhou and Guangxi provinces. In early spring, when the yellow
rapeseed flowers (also known as canola) are in full bloom, the area
takes on the look of a “golden sea” – a spectacle that has made Luoping
something of a Mecca for photographers. The sprawling farmlands get
covered in golden, yellow rapeseed flowers stretching as far as the eyes
can see, all the way to the horizon. The best time to visit Luoping for
this visual fiesta is February through March, by June the show is over.
