The county of Luoping is known for its breath taking view when its fields of canola (also known as rapeseed flower) are in the full bloom. Hills scattered on the yellow surface of rapeseed flowers and the refreshing essence of spring makes visitors hypnotized. This spectacular sight is located near where Yunnan meets Guizhou and Guangxi and it is about 240 kilometers east of Kunming which is the capital and largest city of Yunnan province in Southwest China. China produces 15 million tonnes of rapeseed a year to feed its only internal demand for the oil produced by the crop for both cooking and as a bio fuel, so these fields can be found all over the country. However, Luoping is the leader when it comes to attracting visitors.
