A local gazes over the patchwork of Dongchuan Red Land in Yunnan Province, China. Known by nicknames like "God's Magic Palette" and the "Colorful Kingdom," the landscape features miles of ridges and terraces made up of colorful vegetation and terrain like red soil, green barley, golden corn and potatoes, and white buckwheat flowers. The colorful fields attract backpackers and photographers alike, and remain a testament to the enduring relationship between local communities and the land they cultivate.
