I thought Libo was beautiful until I went here...

It is known as the "Emerald Labyrinth of Karst" by China National Geographic! Venture into the hidden realm of the underground galaxy and Buyi poems. Clear water runs through the earth's core, and peaks and forests are embroidered with colorful clothes. This is the "Guizhou Secret Realm" missed by Xu Xiake, and the paradise guarded by the Buyi people with blue indigo and Lusheng. The flowing dark river lights up the cave's starry sky, and the dragon fruit fields burn into purple-red sunsets. Every inch of land hides the echo of the earth's heartbeat. Some people always say, "I'm tired of seeing the mountains and rivers of Guizhou," until I took a bamboo raft and floated into the emerald waterway of Daxiao Jing, watching the sky light pour down from the 100-meter sinkhole—it turns out that this is the ultimate romance of karst 👉 Save this Xianxia-level 2-day, 1-night guide now! I. Basic Information 1. Location: Luodian County, Qiannan, Guizhou 2. Ticket price: Daxiao Jing Scenic Area is free (bamboo raft is CNY 30/person), Hongshui River Scenic Area is CNY 80/person 3. Transportation: High-speed train to "Guiyang North Station", 2 hours by car (Yinbai Expressway direct), 6 direct buses from Guiyang Jinyang Passenger Station every day II. Epic Check-in Spots 1. Daxiao Jing Cave Complex: Take a bamboo raft into the scene of "Tomb Raiders Notes"! The jade-colored dark river has an inverted stalactite forest, and beams of light penetrate the sinkhole as if a miracle has descended. 2. Xiangshui Cave Sinkhole: One of the top ten most beautiful sinkholes in China. Hike along the boardwalk to explore the underground waterfall. In June, fireflies paint a flowing star map on the cave walls. 3. Hongshui River Floating Boardwalk: The world's longest overwater glass boardwalk (512m). Walk on the green waves and watch the peaks and forests on both sides like giant beasts drinking water. 4. Buyi Nationality Bangeng Beach: The ancient thousand-year-old dyeing workshop dries blue indigo cloth, learn to sing the folk song "Good Flower Red", and pound colorful glutinous rice by hand. 5. Mengjiang Geopark: Touch the 300-million-year-old coral fossil wall, look for "Luodian Jade" raw stone fragments, and the sunset dyes the strange stone array into a fire cloud. 6. Shanglong Tea and Fruit Farm: Stay in the dragon fruit starry sky house, a purple mist rises in the orchard late at night, pick a juicy ruby and gnaw it in the moonlight. 7. Lailai Village Geocentric Adventure (Professional Guide): Rappel down a 60-meter-deep vertical well, cross the underground dark river, and hear the water droplet chimes from hundreds of millions of years ago in the dark. III. Secret Realm Roaming Route 1. Day 1: Geocentric Symphony - Guiyang → Daxiao Jing Bamboo Raft Cave Exploration → Xiangshui Cave Sinkhole Hike → Bangeng Beach Buyi Long Table Banquet → Stay at Dragon Fruit Manor (soak in medicinal bath and watch the stars) 2. Day 2: Water and Land Duet - Hongshui River Glass Boardwalk → Mengjiang Fossil Treasure Hunt → Shanglong Orchard Picking → Lailai Village Light Adventure → Have a bowl of Jianfen Guojuan before returning IV. Limited Seasonal Gameplay 1. May-June (Firefly Cave + Dragon Fruit Blossoms) 2. July-August (Dark River Rafting + Buyi June 6th Water Splashing Festival) 3. November (Cave Warm Winter Exploration + Citrus Picking) V. Survival Rules 1. Light and Shadow Code: The light pillars in Daxiao Jing Cave are strongest from 10:00-14:00 on sunny days, and the Hongshui River boardwalk is best for backlight silhouette photography. 2. Accommodation Game: "Shanglong Starry Sky House" is the first choice! Bubble tents in the dragon fruit fields, average of CNY 150 per person in the off-season; if the budget is limited, choose "Yudu Hotel" in the county seat. 3. Taste Revolution: You must try lotus leaf cakes, soybean chicken, and dragon fruit feast, and challenge "stinky and sour hot pot" (fermented hairy fruit + Houttuynia cordata) in the night market. Bring your own stomach medicine. 4. Adventure Notice: Wear non-slip shoes for ordinary caves. Geocentric adventures require reservations with a professional team (CNY 600/person including equipment). The temperature in the cave is constant at 18℃, so bring a light jacket. 5. Cultural Password: Buyi Dyehouse can pay to experience batik (starting from CNY 50). Sing "Good Flower Red" before taking pictures of the elderly, and tripods are forbidden near the fire pit. 6. Hidden Gameplay: Find villagers to collect "Luodian Jade" raw stones (CNY 20/piece), encounter hedgehogs stealing fruit in the orchard at night, and squat in the sinkhole during the rainy season to watch the "Milky Way pouring backwards". "When the fireflies of Luodian light up the center of the earth, the karst has breathing." Here, stones can sing and rivers can write poetry. Wait for a chase of light in the cave, wait for a dream of fruity fragrance, and wait for an ancient secret language in the folds of the earth 🏞️
