Rapeseed Flowers in Niu Street

The best site for admiring cole flowers at Niu Street is on the slope. Looking down at the cole flowers with all kinds of patterns, you will find some of them are like eyes, some like butterflies. You can use your imagination as possible as you can. The sites for admiring flowers at Niu Street are not like those on the Golden Cock Peak. They don’t have obvious marks. You’d better find a local person to be your guide after getting off the bus because it is very difficult for you yourself to find them. Different from the spectacular scenery of Golden Cock Peak, it is more small and exquisite.

Attraction Travel Tips:

Best Time to Visit:

Luoping Rapeseed Flowers are in their fullest bloom for only ten days in a year. If you go too early, you will miss nothing; but if you go too late, you will miss much. So it is better to set out after you get everything clear. If it is warm early, the flowers will bloom early. The prime time is from round about February, 20th to 25th. Until March, the flowers would have faded. But if it gets warm late, the flowers will bloom late. Anyway, the time for the blooming is different from year to year. March is not always the best choice.

Clothes:

From January to April, the temperature here is about 10-16 ºC so that bring thick clothes to keep warm especially in the morning and evening.
