Qujing City

The source of the Pearl River in eastern Yunnan, best known for Luoping's golden rapeseed blossom fields in spring, the Duoyi River and the Jiulong Waterfalls.

Qujing City lies in eastern Yunnan, bordering Guizhou and Guangxi. It is a key route from Yunnan to the interior, and the Nanpan River rises here. Luoping is the main tourist destination: every year in February–March, tens of thousands of mu of rapeseed flowers bloom, and the Golden Rooster Peak Cluster and the Spiral Fields are photographers' favorites. The Jiulong Waterfalls and the Buyi ethnic culture along the Duoyi River are also well worth a visit. The Colored Sand Forest in Luliang and the old town of Huize are also fairly well known. Spring is the best time to visit. The Shanghai–Kunming high-speed railway passes through Qujing and has a station near Luoping, and driving from Kunming is also fairly convenient.
