The laterite in Dongchuan is rich in iron and will turn red under the sunlight. From a distance, it looks like a color block painted in the sky. It is colorful, lined with blue sky, white clouds and unpredictable light beams, which constitutes the spectacular scenery of red soil. This scene is mainly concentrated in the winter of 165438+ 10 every year, and the red soil effect is obvious. In other seasons, because many crops are planted, the role of red soil is greatly reduced.
The tourism resources of Dongchuan Red Land are relatively single and the infrastructure is relatively weak. Tourists come here without other entertainment facilities except taking a few photos, and the accommodation conditions are basically farmhouses transformed by local farmers, which cannot meet the needs of tourists of different grades. But this is really a paradise for photography. Almost every photographer who comes to Yunnan will come and stay for a few days, and he will not give up until he can shoot a classic red blockbuster.
There are several routine routes to shoot Dongchuan red land. The owner of an ordinary family hotel can be a part-time tour guide. They are very familiar with the local terrain. They are familiar with when, where and where the seats are in their hearts. Basically, I go to Damakan early in the morning. At other times, they go to colorful hillsides, splendid pastoral areas, concave music scores and sacred trees, and shoot the sunset in the evening in Luoxiagou. After filming, I went back to the hotel to drink a bowl of local chicken soup stewed by the hostess, drink two or two bags of cereal wine and share my beautiful pictures with my friends. It's beautiful.
The so-called photography paradise is that photographers can take beautiful photos, but ordinary people can't see the mystery when they come, shouting and being fooled. Similar to Dongchuan Red Land, there are Yuanyang Terrace, Longji Terrace and Xiapu Beach. With the change of light and shadow in the morning and evening or in different seasons, strange scenes that are difficult to appear at ordinary times are transformed. Of course, this wonderful landscape needs patience and careful capture. In the eyes of ordinary people, of course, it is nothing. Interestingly, this kind of photography paradise has been overused by many photographers, and even some photography competitions explicitly restrict the entries of works with this theme.
The tourist attractions corresponding to photography paradise usually refer to the first choice of ordinary tourists, such as Kanas in Xinjiang, Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan, colorful Danxia in Zhangye, landscape in Guilin and Huangshan in Anhui. In fact, this kind of scenic spot is not only a photography paradise, but also a tourist attraction, which is not only the favorite of photographers, but also the most popular among ordinary travelers.
The best season of red soil in Dongchuan, Kunming is May and June, September to 65438+February every year, because in that season, some red soil is ploughed and planted, while others are planted with yellow or green crops, and even the locals deliberately plant plants with different colors, making the whole red soil look colorful and rich in layers, just like God knocking over a paint tray, which is amazing.
A few years ago, after the Spring Festival, I went to Dongchuan Red Land. At that time, the best season had passed and there was no good weather, so it looked unusual, and many tourists cried with regret. Generally speaking, the viewing places of the red land are scattered. You can wait for sunrise when you hit Ma Kan, and shoot at colorful hillsides, splendid pastoral areas, concave music scores and sacred trees at other times. There is also the sunset ditch, as the name implies, which is of course the best place to shoot the sunset. Many people may have seen an old man smoking and his dog on the red land, and now he has become an online celebrity, a farmer model and a photographer who has to take pictures of the red land.
We think Dongchuan is special. First of all, Dongchuan District belongs to Kunming, with a distance of 150 km from the urban area. Dongchuan has the reputation of "the hometown of iron and stone" and "the southern copper capital", and mining is the pillar industry of Dongchuan. When it comes to Dongchuan, many people will think of Dongchuan noodles. In addition, Dongchuan has something more unique, that is, Dongchuan red land.
Dongchuan Red Land is located in Hongtudi Town, Dongchuan District. Dongchuan Red Land is a famous scenic spot. When Dongchuan is hot and rainy, it forms a unique red soil, which contains a lot of iron and aluminum, less organic matter and the soil is sticky and heavy. When nearly a hundred miles of red land in Fiona Fang come together, it forms the most typical and distinctive red land on the Yunnan Plateau.
Against the background of blue sky and white clouds, this red land is more mysterious and shocking under the unpredictable light, so the spectacular red land landscape has attracted many people and tourists to visit.
From September to 65438+February every year, part of the red land is ploughed, and the other part of the red land has been planted with green wheat, which is spectacular from a distance. The best time to enjoy Dongchuan red land is from September to 65438+February every year, followed by 1 and February, and then the flowering period of rape in May and June. The Dongchuan red land in these periods is very rich in color.
First of all, the purpose of people's travel is to appreciate the heterogeneous scenery and get physical and mental relaxation and pleasure. Although drying friends circle is also a priority task that cannot be ignored, mobile phones can do it. There are very few people who focus on photography, so there are not so many people going to Dongchuan.
Secondly, there are traffic factors, which are generally called tourist attractions. In most places, there are developed modes of transportation such as aviation and railways, which are convenient for most people to enter. Kunming airport is three hours' drive from Dongchuan.
Third, as a tourist attraction, there must be good tourism services and supporting systems, such as catering, accommodation, leisure and entertainment, shopping and so on. It will provide protection and service for people's travel, which Dongchuan lacks.
Fourthly, although the red land in Dongchuan is spectacular as a whole, it still lacks the concentration and diversity of scenic spots, that is, there are no other scenic spots except red land in a large area, which is very bad for photography, and it is inevitable for mass tourists that the content is single, the landscape is single, and the aesthetic fatigue is even more serious than Yuanyang and Longji terraces.
There are many natural scenery in Dongchuan, Kunming. You are welcome to visit here.
