Luoping County (Chinese: 罗平县; pinyin: Luópíng Xiàn) is located in Qujing City, in eastern Yunnan province, China, bordering Guizhou province to the east and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to the southeast.
The county of Luoping in eastern Yunnan is noted for its springtime scenery, when its fields of canola (also known as rapeseed) plants are in full bloom, surrounding the area's mountains with a blanket of golden flowers.[citation needed]
Located near where Yunnan meets Guizhou and Guangxi, Luoping is about 240 kilometers east of Kunming. Not unlike the terraced fields of Yuanyang in southern Yunnan, Luoping's canola fields attract many photographers.[citation needed]
The canola flowering lasts until late June. During this high travel season for the county regular buses leave from Kunming's bus stations on an almost hourly basis.[citation needed]
Luoping County has 3 subdistricts, 4 towns, 3 townships and 3 ethnic townships.[1]
The Luoping County Gazetteer (1995:601) lists the following Yi subgroups and their respective locations.
Buyi is also spoken in Luoping County. Zhou (2013) documents the Buyi dialects of Shangmute 上木特, Xiamute 下木特, Dabulong 大补笼, and Yize 以则 villages, all of which are in Changdi Township 长底乡.[2]
