The elevation changes from 695m to 4344m. The Red Soil Land of Dongchuan is the paradise for photographer. It is located in the southwest part in Dongchuan. It is such a piece of farmland of covering 100km2 along the mountain slopes with the center of Huashitou Village.
The climate in this area is hot and rainy. The red color of farmland here comes from iron and aluminum in the soil. Meanwhile the farmland is cut into different color blocks by many species of crops. Seen from afar, the farmland is more like colourful carpet or oil pointing in the background of blue sky dotted with white cloud.
