City Steles & Kylin District

Two famous stones anchor the city — the Cuan Baizi stele cut in 405 CE and the 971 alliance stele, both sheltered in school pavilions downtown. Then Kylin Park's hill and the evening flower-and-herb market.

Luoping — Rapeseed Sea & Spiral Terraces

Peak bloom runs mid-February to mid-March across about 800,000 mu (roughly 53,000 ha) of fields; the Golden Rooster hills give the sunrise panorama, and Niujie's snail-shell terraces fold the yellow into rings.

Jiulong Falls & Departure

Ten tiers of falls line about 2 km of the Jiulong river; the Shenlong fall drops 56 m over a 110 m lip. Boardwalks link the pools — allow half a day, then the two-hour road back for trains from Qujing.
