Kunming/Luoping/Yuangyang during Chinese New Year recommendable or not?

Hi everybody,

i plan to travel to Yunnan area in February 2016 currently we are thinking about to be at 08.02.2016 in Luoping (during 1rst chinese new year celebration) and to visit Yuanyang afterwards... could you recommend these areas during this time? New year celebrations in Luoping? To many visitors in Yuangyang?
Thank you very much for your suggestions...
