Yuepu'ao
乐谱凹
Curved field ridges stacked like lines of a musical score, with trees dotted among them like notes. It is the most rhythmic scene in the Red Land.
Yuepu'ao (also written Yuepuao) lies south of Huashitou. Curved field ridges are stacked on the hillside like a musical staff, and the trees scattered among them resemble musical notes, which gives the place its name. Early morning and late afternoon light, at a low angle, brings out the lines of the ridges best. Drone photography also works well, but observe local no-fly rules. Along the road toward Kunming there are other viewpoints, including Luosiwan (Snail Bend) and Wafang Liangzi.
