Beautiful Yunnan has two masterpieces of nature, both related to land

One is the Yuanyang Hani terraces, and the other is the Dongchuan red soil.

Yuanyang Terrace is known as the "Sculpture of the Earth"

The Dongchuan red soil is called the "palette of the earth"

It's like a myth:

It was a sunny day

God holds the palette and creates the earth

As the coloring is about to be completed

The color palette was accidentally left behind to the world

God has forgotten, but those who have been there will never forget...

The Dongchuan red soil is located in the northeast of Kunming City. Because the soil contains more iron and aluminum components, it forms a dazzling red color. The land is divided into color blocks by fields and crops. When viewed from a distance, it is colorful and set off with blue sky and white clouds, making it even more spectacular.

The sea level of the red soil is about 2000 meters. For thousands of years, local farmers have worked hard on this barren land, but instead decorated the red soil into a beautiful land with colorful colors.

The Red Land Scenic Area is centered on Huashitou Village, Xintian Township. Within a radius of dozens of kilometers, there are large tracts of red land everywhere, with different postures and colorful colors. In recent years, it has become a place where photography enthusiasts come to Yunnan to collect trends and check in!

Modern Xiao Cao's poem "Dongchuan Red Soil":"Ancient fir trees and thunder welcome the sunset, new soil beats red flowers after rain; hanging ladders from mountains face the bottom of the sky, and the breeze and clouds are full of poetry and painting" gives a new interpretation of the cultural landscape of the red soil.

Every year from May to February, part of the red land is plowed for planting, and the other part of the red land is filled with highland barley, wheat and other crops. It looks colorful from a distance, coupled with the blue sky and white clouds, forming the red land. The spectacular scenery has also become one of the photographers 'favorite places.

According to local people, the third day after the rain is the most beautiful time for the red soil. The land watered by the rain will become richer in color in the sun. After the heavy rain, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, the sun shone high, and the sky became bluer and moving. The clouds changed in different postures, and the light and shadow cast on the fields changed from time to time. Every second was a brand new picture.

Shooting strategy

Among the red soil attractions, Damakan is the best place to shoot the sunrise, while Luosi Bay and Wafangliangzi are good places to shoot the sunset. In fact, we cannot generalize. Each attraction has its own characteristics.

Damakan is actually a village in red soil. Looking down on Damakan Village on the high slope before and after sunrise, you can take pictures of the curling smoke in the village and the rising morning fog and clouds of clouds on the red soil!

The colorful slope presents an obvious "colorful zone" in a field of vision of less than ten kilometers. At a glance, you can see "red, yellow, green, blue and purple". Seven colors can be seen in a panoramic view. The colorful slope and Jinxiu Garden are close together.

Jinxiu Garden is a large undulating hillside viewed from different angles. Different seasons and different plots have different colors. It is better to shoot in the afternoon.

The Millennium Dragon Tree is a huge ancient pine tree. It stands alone on a hill near Huagou Village, silently guarding this red land for hundreds of years. The vast and independent tree that appears repeatedly in "No Questions about the West and East" is this one.

Music score concave, next to the famous Huashitou Village, the red soil here, those field ridges, and the color blocks look like a staff from a distance. The name of music score concave should also be named from this, right?

Those colorful lines and scenery are natural movements written by nature. Over time, layers of movements are as thick as mountains. This beautiful movement spreads from the depths of the mountains to all directions and to all corners of the world.

Luosi Bay is named after its winding road, which is the only road leading up the mountain. It and tiled houses and liangzi are good places to shoot sunsets. At sunset at Luosi Bay, if you are lucky, you can capture the shadow of the mountain just hitting the winding road when the sun goes down.

These scenic spots are all considered to be representative works of red land. They are all famous for their colorful colors and beautiful layers. They integrate color, lines, layers and the beauty of the atmosphere into one, and they are all like brocade woven with colorful silk threads.

On the observation deck of Jinxiu Garden, looking far into the distance, you can see a colorful world around you. The beautiful color blocks are facing the world, clearly visible lines, contrasting color blocks, and crops with light and dark... Those beautiful lines paint this red land more colorful.

Staring at every red soil, every hillside, and every scenery, it is like moving poems, like charming paintings, and appreciating the mysterious land in front of you, which makes your heart feel shocked. Unconsciously, I am intoxicated in this picturesque colorful field.

The most beautiful scenery should be Luoxia Gully, also known as Xiantangdi. It is a depression that sinks in the embrace of mountains. There is a small village on the depression surrounded by mountains. Luoxia Gully is a place to watch the sunset based on its name. In fact, you can enjoy the sunset here, but it is a good place to take pictures of the sunrise. Many large areas of red land are Luoxia Gully at the sunrise.

The golden sunshine in the morning is warmly sprinkled on the red soil, which makes the red soil more colorful. The ridge opposite is plated with layers of gold rims. The villages in the depression look more peaceful and peaceful when bathed in the morning light. The rising sun is waving the magic pen. Draw this dreamy and gorgeous picture to your heart's content.

Dongchuan Hongtidi

It does not have the red dust fireworks of the ancient city of Lijiang

There are no beautiful mountains and rivers like Dali

There is no ethnic customs of Xishuangbanna

Not as otherworldly as Lugu Lake...

But its tranquility and tranquility make people feel relaxed and happy

Its magic is unique

Give photographers a unique shock!

In everyone's eyes, the beautiful Dongchuan red soil is actually just a piece of barren land. In fact, it is a "red soil desertification" caused by man-made, weather or natural factors. In this land, only a few crops with strong vitality and low requirements on natural conditions are suitable for growth.

The simple local people have lived in this barren land for generations. They have worked day and night, and worked tirelessly to plant crops on this land. It is these inadvertent work that has decorated this land with rich and vivid color blocks.

Undoubtedly, in addition to the clear sky, fluttering clouds, red land, curved fields, those hard-working figures, simple faces, and simple smiles, are the most beautiful scenery on this land and this colorful picture. The eternal theme on the scroll.
