Dongchuan, a rural place in the Wumeng Mountainous area, about 200km north of Kunming, the provincial capital of Yun Nan. It has the magnificent red soil scenery which is bigger in size than Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It took me 13 hours on a train plus 7 hours on a minibus to get there. Fortunately, it didn't let me down. The weather wasn't that great when I was there except one morning. The first ray of sunshine in the morning is truely a gift from the God, as always.

东川在云南东北部靠近四川和贵州的乌蒙山区, 距昆明200多公里. 这里有比巴西里约热内卢还大的红土地. 因土中还有矿物质而呈红色, 以雨后两三天为最红. 每年的5月底和10月是最佳季节. 我08年5月底去的几天不巧天气不好, 除了一个早上. 清晨太阳刚出来时的第一缕光五彩斑斓, 令世界也改变了颜色.
