Dongchuan Red Land (Chinese Name: 东川红土地) is located in the northeast, over 200 km from Kunming City, at an altitude of 1,800 to 2,600 metres (5,900 to 8,500 feet).
The area is world famous for the spectacular sight of blossoming of rapeseed flowers, which turn the countryside into brilliant shades of yellow for as far as the eye can see.
Many people are drawn to witness the sunrise as it hits the mountain range in the morning and lights up the snowy peaks in gold sunlight, starting with Kawagebo and then spreading to the other peaks.
The Yuanyang Hani Rice Terraces in Honghe in Southern Yunnan present some of the most spectacular and astonishing landscapes to be found nowhere else in the world.
