A Secluded Paradise in Southwestern Guizhou: The Mountain and Water Scenery and Slow Life of Xingyi

**🌄Xingyi Travel Guide | Explore the "Peak Forest Secret Land, Pastoral Fairytale" in 1 Minute! ⛰️** 📍 **Address**: Southwestern Guizhou Province (take a high-speed train to Panzhou Station and then transfer to a bus, or fly directly to Xingyi Airport from many locations; self-driving offers more freedom) 🔥 **Must-Do Recommendations**: 1️⃣ **Wanfenglin (Ten Thousand Peak Forest)**: China's most beautiful peak forest! 20,000 conical peaks are scattered around. In spring, there are seas of rapeseed flowers; in autumn, golden rice paddies. Aerial photography captures the scene like an "earth sculpture" 🌾 (Check in at Bagua Field for the best spot!). 2️⃣ **Maling River Canyon**: "Earth's most beautiful scar"! 75 waterfalls cascade down. Walk the suspended boardwalk through the water curtain. Summer rafting offers an adrenaline rush! 💦 3️⃣ **Wanfeng Lake**: A plateau version of Thousand Island Lake! Take a boat trip to Jilongbao (the Chinese version of Neuschwanstein Castle), go fishing 🎣, and eat wild tilapia. The stunning lake and mountain scenery will take your breath away. 4️⃣ **Guizhou Dragon Fossil Group**: An ancient secret realm! Explore marine reptile fossils from 240 million years ago. A must-see for family science trips 🦕. 💡 **Travel Tips**: ✅ **Best Seasons**: March–April (rapeseed flowers), August–September (rice paddy art), summer for escaping the heat (average temperature of 23°C). ✅ **Transportation**: The scenic spots are scattered, so it's recommended to hire a car (approx. CNY 400/day) or rent an electric bike to cycle through the countryside. ✅ **Must-Eat Foods**: Xingyi mutton rice noodles, Gangzi noodles, Buyi ethnic group's five-color glutinous rice. You can get your fill at the night market for an average of CNY 20! ✅ **Accommodation**: Wanfenglin rice paddy homestays (with peak forest views from the window) / Jilongbao lake view hotel (pretend you're in Europe). 📸 **Internet-Famous Check-In Spots**: 🌉 **Jilongbao**: A lakeside castle + European-style drawbridge, bursting with fairytale charm. The night view with lights is even more stunning! 🏞️ **Maling River Waterfall Group**: Take aerial photos of the "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping" waterfall group, with rainbows appearing in the mist. ✨ **Yuhuang Peak**: Sea of clouds at sunrise + panoramic view of the peak forest. A photographer's secret spot! 🌿 **Nahui Village**: An ancient Buyi ethnic village. Enjoy cycling through the rice paddies + tie-dyeing experiences. A niche, healing experience. 🎫 **Ticket Prices (for reference)**: - Wanfenglin: CNY 120 (including sightseeing bus) - Maling River Canyon: CNY 80 (elevator is an additional CNY 40) - Guizhou Dragon Museum: Free 💬 **Interactive Question**: Do you want to check in at Wanfenglin's pastoral poetry, or challenge yourself with rafting in Maling River Canyon?
