Jilong Castle, a European-style castle built in the center of the lake, is located on Wanfeng Lake in Xingyi City, Guizhou Province. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, attracting countless people to come. However, Jilong Fort is now a tourist attraction and admission fee is required. You can also stay at the "Xingyi Jilongbao Resort" in the scenic area and enjoy free admission. The scenery along the way is pretty good. There is the Wanfenglin forest with numerous peaks nearby, a naturally formed waterfall canyon, and the Jilong Fort located in the middle of the Wanfeng Lake. It is an empty castle. It is said that merchants planned to build it as a tourist hotel. Later, for many reasons, it became an empty castle. It is currently a tourist attraction. Because we missed the boat ride (there are designated times, 13:00 and 16:00), we bought tickets and went in directly. The ticket price is: 60 yuan/person for adults, 30 yuan/person for children, and 10 yuan for parking. This is the only lakeside castle in China. It is very dreamy and made me feel like a little princess in a fairy tale. There are places for photo taking in the castle, such as the king's throne, European murals, wine cellar, costumes, armor, etc. There is also a ball pool for children to play, as well as a glass plank road and zip line. Those who are interested can go and visit. It’s a good idea to spend half a day visiting. After all, who doesn’t have a princess dream? Xingyi Jilongbao Resort
