The Smurfs—Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area

On May 19th, China Tourism Day, I took the 6:10 high-speed train from Guiyang North to Libo early in the morning. I arrived at the high-speed train station at 7:30, took the 11 bus on the left side of the station, and it took about fifteen minutes and 5 yuan to reach the east gate of the Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. It started to drizzle, which I thought was just right; maybe I could see a fairy-tale-like beautiful scenery! Adult tickets are 120 yuan per person, sightseeing cars are 40 yuan per person, and insurance is 10 yuan per person at will. Since the east gate is close to the Daqikong, I went to the Daqikong Natural Bridge attraction first. When I got to the periphery of the Natural Bridge, the staff explained that due to heavy rain at the end of April, the plank road inside the Natural Bridge was destroyed, and for safety reasons, the plank road leading to the most beautiful place of the Natural Bridge was just closed. Brother, this trip I saw a 'legend'! I took a sightseeing car for a deep tour of the entire scenic area, and I spent about eight hours in the scenic area. If it weren't for the high-speed train back to Guiyang, I would like to wander around for another hour or two! Wolongtan and the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge are the classics of the entire scenic area! The quiet lake water is bright blue, dark blue, light blue, and even sometimes greenish-yellow! Some tourists say that the scenery is a bit similar to Jiuzhaigou, Yangshuo Guilin, or Kanas, and they are right! Personal opinion: Water is the charm of Xiaoqikong, even compared to other beautiful scenes in China, Xiaoqikong also shows its infinite charm—it is the sapphire eye of the earth! Its beauty, its enchanting aspects, can only be truly felt by coming here yourself! The beauty in the photos is far less than the ultimate reality! If you don't have a car and need to take the high-speed train back to Guiyang, donkey friends must buy return tickets in advance. Address: Mengliu Style Town, Libo County, Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province.
