Dong Chuan Red Land

Dong Chuan Red Land

We haven’t seen so colorful land in my life, this place called” Luo xia gou” red land, located in Dongchuan county, eastern to Kunming city. Even the people living there are not so aware or familiar with its existing beauty. But for those who have seen the pictures of the Red land , no one can resist being attracted to its beautiful scenery!
Just like a painting of a great magnificent landscape.


The soil contains such components as oxidized iron and different kind of metallic minerals, after a long period of oxidation, gradually added and mixed in the soil that produced this extra-ordinary reddish brown soil.

Here in this place, mountains and hills, every inch of land are cultivated and planted to the maximum by the inhabitants.


Here major plants are canola, potato, oats and corn etc. When getting to the blossom season, each crop’s flower makes the colorful painting.


Early in the morning, donkey-ridden cart full of harvest transporting to the town,
while a few kids walking toward a different direction to school.  


Sunset is the most attracted scenery in “Luoxia gou”, but rare opportunity to see such burn cloud because of weather and season.
