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.

Luoping Screw Field is located at Niujie, 10 kilometers northwest of Luoping County, Qujing, Yunnan. The screw field is one of the most famous rape flower shooting spots. The terraces here are ring-shaped, and it looks like a swirl on the screw. Niujie screw field is a natural landscape composed of geological features of beaded karst funnels. The funnel is so dense and the shape is so strange that it is still rare. The landscape is 50 meters deep and is northeast-southwest, stepped paddy fields and dry land, and the first level is neat. In different seasons, different color blocks are formed due to different crops. Radioactive deployment from a small circular basin in the middle. In the winter and spring seasons, the blocks full of rapeseed are golden and golden, and the land with wheat is green and jade; when passing through, the circle extending along the circle of the garden is full of rapeseed, like countless golden dragons. The disk is lying.

The screw field is named for its shape, and together with the Jinjifengfeng, it is a typical representative of Luopinghuahai. The screw field is not a scenic spot. It is said that a band came here to shoot and bring fire here. The best viewing position is on the road halfway down the screw field. Everyone stops at the roadside to take pictures.
The terraces here are not in the area, but win over the show. Let people who are used to the thick lines change their style.
