A Self-Drive Day Tour of the Rapeseed Flower Sea in Luoping: Pros and Cons in This Article!

🌼 Date of photography: 2024.03.12 Self-drive day tour in Luoping rapeseed flower: Screw Field - Jiulong Waterfall - Golden Rooster Peak Cluster - Rapeseed Flower Field The weather wasn't too good, flew the drone over four rapeseed flower fields, each with its own characteristics. 1️⃣ Screw Field Now is the best viewing period, there is a viewing platform halfway up the mountain, and the drone perspective is even better. The downside is that it's average for taking pictures of people, and you can't walk to the edge of the rapeseed field. The mountain road is winding, please drive carefully; also pay attention to safety when taking photos by the roadside. There are parking spots on the roadside, 10 yuan per vehicle, it can get very chaotic when there are many cars. Admission: Free 2️⃣ Jiulong Waterfall Scenic Area If you only want to see the rapeseed fields, take the west gate on the mountain; if you want to play, take the east gate at the bottom of the mountain, close to the waterfall. The panoramic viewing platform can capture both Jiulong Waterfall and the rapeseed fields, but the best viewing period has passed. The drone is still the best perspective, but it requires good lighting, and overcast days are actually better. Highly recommend taking the flying carpet up the mountain, it's a fun experience. Admission: 65 yuan Flying carpet: 30 yuan 3️⃣ Golden Rooster Peak Cluster Because it's popular, there are many tourists, and it's messy at the entrance, with ox carts and vendors chasing tourists in the parking lot, not a very good feeling. The scenic area has a sightseeing train and tracks, which are very photogenic. The highest peak is Laojian Mountain, about 3 kilometers one way, you can take the sightseeing train or car to get there. Admission: 30 yuan Sightseeing train: 50 yuan/Sightseeing car: 30 yuan 4️⃣ Main Venue of the Rapeseed Flowers Free and you can drive in, there might be traffic control on weekends. The rapeseed flower field is very large, with yellow and green patches interwoven, very beautiful. The best spot for portrait photography, with both tall and short flower fields to choose from. Admission: Free 🌼 Summary My personal favorite is the Screw Field, because it's special. Whether you come to see the rapeseed fields or not, I recommend visiting Jiulong Waterfall, the scenery is beautiful. If you don't want to climb mountains and have a drone, you can skip the Golden Rooster Peak Cluster. For portrait photography, just go to the main venue, which also has karst topography, and you can drive in; just park nearby wherever it's convenient.

The sunrise in the sea of clouds has been seen, and it is supposed to be a sunny day. I didnt expect that after the sunrise, the clouds waiting for the left and right did not dissipate, and the whole golden chicken peaks were covered by clouds. There was a strong wind blowing on the top of the mountain. After waiting for 2 hours, the clouds did not dissipate. The photographers at the top of the mountain all picked up the equipment and left, leaving us three to drink biscuits while drinking the wind. To be honest, I can't stay any longer. Such a thick cloud is estimated to be difficult to disperse for a while. I have packed everything up, but my companions insisted on it and said that I would wait another 10 minutes.

Its too fast to be ups and downs! I used to chat with other photographers. Some of them had been on the hill for more than two weeks. I saw no hope of going down in the morning. I don't know what he saw in front of him will be a slap in the face!
