Libo Xiaoqikong 1-Day Tour | The Real "Emerald of the World" is Absolutely Stunning!

Qikong is just so comfortable✨ (live photo collection ongoing) I used to think Libo was very far and would take a lot of time to get to, but I was shocked to find out! It only takes 1 hour by high-speed train from Guiyang🚄! After getting off, a 15-minute taxi ride takes you straight to the scenic area entrance🚖, making it a perfect spontaneous short trip treasure destination! ☀️ Important tips from personal experience: Be sure to go on a sunny day! You will be rewarded with breathtaking emerald-like scenery🏞️ Crystal-clear pools + Silver Chain Waterfall, truly stunning under the sunlight😍 After the trip, I felt completely refreshed and purified. 👇🏻 My hard-earned experience sharing: 📸 Photography: · Although there are many check-in spots online, Xiaoqikong is literally 360° photogenic with no dead angles! From the ancient bridge to the stone forest, this stretch is like a fairyland, full of waterfalls + streams and stone platforms, every shot looks like a masterpiece️. ⏰ Time: · Make sure to reserve enough daytime hours, the best shooting time is 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. After 4 or 5 PM, the light on the water surface dims and photos won’t come out well. Tickets are valid for 7 days and allow re-entry👍 (Open hours: 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM) 💁 Service: · Although entry stops at 4:30 PM, you can stay until 6:00 PM before clearing out. Staff are stationed at every stop, and sightseeing buses operate until the last group leaves, giving a strong sense of safety! 📍 Scenic Area Info: Address: Libo County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province Ticket Price: 170 RMB (includes sightseeing bus) Recommended visit duration: 5-6 hours 💡 Tips: 1. Wear non-slip shoes! Some sections involve wading through water 2. Bring rain gear, weather can be changeable 3. Travel light, there’s a lot of walking on the trails Only after visiting Libo did I understand what "Emerald of the World" really means. This magical secret spot is truly worth it!💚

It is recommended to charter a car at Libo Little Seven Kong Scenic Area, and the mountain scenery along the way is worth stopping to take pictures. 📌 Tips - The interior of the Miao village is mostly stone slabs/dirt, non-slip casual shoes are recommended for playing/walking - Tie dye If you have a history of skin allergies remember to wear protective gloves - Attractions are mostly outdoors, summer pay attention to sun protection, mosquitoes - Sitting in the outdoor restaurant is recommended to sit before dusk, feel the Miao Village sunset most comfortable Playing such an authentic and atmospheric trip really gave me more of a slow life and healing feeling than being in the city! Come back and share beautiful photos with your friends, and handmade tie-dye, everyone said it was great! #Guiyang Surrounding Tour #Zhaoqing Miao Village Food #Libo Little Seven Kong #Ethnic Experience #Terrace Photo
