With this spectacle as its backdrop, Luoping County is organising a series of activities to boost tourism, including the International Canola Flower Cultural Tourism Festival.
The festival highlights principles of “tourism+culture”, “tourism+art” and “tourism+sports” including “beautiful Luoping, healthy Luoping, artistic Luoping, Luoping of ethnic minority customs, research in Luoping, cultural innovation in Luoping, and food in Luoping.”
