Because of its unique location, Luoping County, in the east of Yunnan Province, has been called the East Gateway to Yunnan or the Strategic Gateway to Yunnan and Guizhou.

In spring, in the third month of the year, vast swathes of rape come into bloom in Luoping. There are patches, undulating waves, snaking lines and coiling spirals of these flowers, together forming a boundless sea of lustrous gold.

Yudai Lake, Lashan Lake and Wanzi Lake, set like three brilliant mirrors in the midst of a sea of flowers, enhance the luxuriant green of Baila Mountain. Dotted about the sea are karst cones in all shapes. White clouds partially cloak the verdant mountains and streams flow quietly through the villages.
