Axilisi Grassland: Turning the Wind into Waves, Planting Romance All Over the Hills

Who would understand! At Axilisi, the roof of Guizhou, I finally realized what the magical scene of "wind blowing the grass into waves" really looks like🌊! A 4-hour self-drive from Guiyang, heart racing all the way, only to discover—this place is simply the "romance cheat code" of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau! Clouds like cotton candy pressing on the mountain tops☁️, grass waves pushing the wavy road forward, even the breath carries the scent of fresh grass! Sharing my secret tips to help you experience the grassland like a movie! 🚗 Transportation: Self-driving is the soul! Highly recommend self-driving! Navigate to 📍“Axilisi Ertaipo Scenic Area” (Xingfa Township, Hezhang County). - From Guiyang: about 4 hours; from Bijie: about 1.5 hours; - No car? Take the high-speed train to Bijie, then rent a car or charter a ride (about 1.5 hours). 💡 Why self-drive? The popular “wave road,” “steep slope,” and “W curve” are only thrilling if you control the speed yourself! Driving through the grass waves feels like racing the wind, with stops anytime to shoot epic “car and nature in one frame” photos📸. 🎫 Tickets: The money-saving secret for free-style fun! - Self-driving into the scenic area: 100 RMB per car including driver, 20 RMB per passenger (discounts for students/teachers, etc.); - Sightseeing bus: good for lazy travelers, but you’ll miss wildflowers and sheep! 💡 There’s parking at the visitor center, but self-driving doubles the experience—chasing clouds, feeding sheep (the grassland sheep are super friendly!), and rolling in the grass sea anytime~. 🌟 5 Must-Visit Romantic Spots (secret photo spots + seasonal surprises) 1. Wave Road · A Highway Poem on Grass Tips Wheels roll over naturally undulating asphalt, like playing piano🎹! Roll down the window and let the wind flood in—you’re the star of a road movie! Best light at dawn and dusk, with grass waves edged in gold. 2. Paomaping · Step into a Western Movie Horse riding: 30 RMB for a small loop, 50 RMB for a big loop🐎! Choose sunset time for backlit horse silhouettes and golden grass tips, instantly creating shots like “Legends of the Fall.” 3. Wanfeng Viewing Platform · Divine Sea of Clouds Sunrise Climb the “Birdcage Viewing Platform” to watch mist tear apart the red dawn🌄, the sun leap out in a blood-red arc, and peaks awaken in golden light—breathtaking! (Reserve your spot at 5 AM!) 4. Jiucaiping · Eastern Provence (August-September only) 100,000 acres of wild chive flowers explode into a purple ocean💜! The world’s largest flower belt, a heavenly fairyland in morning mist, perfect for painting-like photos. 5. Stargazing Camping · Sleep in the Arms of the Milky Way Stay in grassland tents or wooden cabins, enjoy night bonfires with skewers and Yi ethnic dances🔥; lie back to watch shooting stars🌌, with only the sound of wind in your ears (bring warm clothes! Big temperature difference). 🍲 Food Recommendations: Plateau Flavors - Dry Pot Beef Hotpot: local yellow cattle + secret chili sauce, so tasty you’ll lick the pot! - Wild Mushroom Chicken Soup: freshly picked chicken mushrooms and boletus stewed into a milky broth, unbelievably fresh! - Buckwheat Cake + Pickled Vegetable Soup: Yi ethnic flavor, the perfect palate cleanser! 💡 Pitfall Tips (tested with hard-earned experience) - Best season: June to October (greenest grass🌿), flower sea exclusive mid-August to mid-September; - Sun and cold protection: altitude 2300m! Strong UV rays☀️, down vest + hat and sunglasses are must-haves; - Safe driving: wave road has many curves, cattle and sheep may suddenly appear—drive slow for romance; - Hidden perk: take the sightseeing mini train🚂 (1.5-hour loop), passing through sinkholes and Wanfeng forest, a lazy traveler’s blessing! When leaving, I parked at the end of the wave road and looked back—the wind pulled the clouds into threads, the grass waves still swaying. Suddenly I understood: the romance of Axilisi is about willingly slowing down your pace: listening to the wind write poetry, watching clouds stroll, breathing in sync with the grassland. Next time you want to escape the world, come here and let the Wumeng Mountains’ wind blow your worries into distant stars✨～ 📅 Scenic area open: May to October 8:30 AM–6:00 PM; other seasons 8:30 AM–5:30 PM.
