Luodian County
Luodian County (罗甸县) is a county-level administrative district in southwestern China, part of the Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture within Guizhou province.
The climate in the area is humid subtropical, with strong monsoon influences bringing heavy rain during the summer. Winters are dry due to the influence of the Siberian high-pressure system.
The county seat and the largest city in the county is also named Luodian; it was formerly known as Longping. The city of Luodian is situated at 25°26′N 106°42′E / 25.433°N 106.700°E latitude and longitude.
The county is frequented by both Chinese and foreign geologists, with the core area of work called Big Guizhoutan, or Big Guizhou Shoal. This has been called a "treasure land for Triassic Period research."[1]
