Luoping lies in the eastern part of the province, 228 kilometers east of Kunming, neighboring Guizhou and Guangxi. Luoping is dominated by karst features with small basins among mountain ranges. Luoping has now been made famous by the fantastic photos shot by modern day photographers and tourists.

Each spring, the blossoming rapeseed flowers of Luoping draws flocks of tourists and photographers. Farmlands are covered in golden rape stretches right up to the horizon, forming a sea of yellow buds and filling the air with the refreshing scent of spring.
