Guizhou's Treasure Realm is the earliest spring in China, and I wonder who still doesn't know
Wanfenglin is the place where the rapeseed flowers bloom the earliest in the country~
Even in the winter months, there is already the atmosphere of spring with vast fields of rapeseed flowers
Blooming passionately and dazzlingly under the brilliant sunshine
The vast karst topography
Surrounds more than six thousand acres of rice fields
✈️ Airport: Wanfenglin Airport, not far from the scenic area
🚅 High-speed rail: Go to Panzhou Station, then head to Xingyi
🚗 Chartered car or small group tours are more cost-effective
🚶🏻♀️ You can also visit other attractions in Guizhou along the way
Tour sequence
☞ Wanfenglin Square - General Peak - Shang Nahui - Xia Nahui - Wanfu Village - Wanfo Temple
⛰️ Wanfo Temple
This is a natural cave temple integrated with the mountain peaks
There are tens of thousands of Buddha statues inside the temple
Several thousand small Buddha statues are also placed on the walls of the cave
Symbolizing the pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas, hoping for visitors from all directions in March
🌾 Bagua fields
The naturally formed Bagua fields
Lie flat in the Nahui village farmland
Among them are three natural sinkholes, bottomless
🏕️ Village tour
Following the paths through the fields, passing through Nahui, Leli, and Yulong, several Bouyei villages
In the farmhouse courtyards, you can taste authentic and genuine delicacies
Walking or riding an electric bike slowly through
Experiencing the comfort brought by the countryside is also quite nice~

Xingyi Wanfenglin, the earliest rapeseed flower to bloom in the country
'There are so many peaks in the world, only here are the peaks forested.' The vast karst landscape surrounds more than 6,000 acres of rice fields, dotted with Bouyei tribes with gray tile walls, which can be described as extremely beautiful.
Wanfenglin is the largest and most typical karst peak forest in China. Here you can see the continuous peaks and endless rapeseed fields, which are so beautiful as if you have walked into an oil painting. It is recommended to stay in the homestay next to the rapeseed field, very comfortable. Wanfenglin scenic area is very large, and there are rapeseed fields everywhere in the scenic area.

|Find the relaxation that suits you. Xingyi Wanfenglin Homestay|Find the relaxation that suits you
To leave at a moment's notice is the most extravagant luxury and the most brilliant freedom in life~~~
This is a memorable quote from this trip, from the hidden reading·Mountain View Holiday Homestay, which is also the recommended homestay. The Mountain is a homestay with a sense of relaxation. It's not as formal as a hotel, but it has its own standards. The housekeeper is very careful and friendly
The parking lot is right at the entrance of the homestay, parking is very convenient, the housekeeper contacted us in advance and sent the location of the homestay, the homestay is easy to find on the roadside, parking is also very convenient
The two villages are very small, and the roads in the Wanfenglin Scenic Area are easy to find. After consulting with the housekeeper, you don't need to open the map when you go out, you can set off aimlessly and easily reach the mountain breeze
Let more people who love nature grow
Life is not only confined to the city and indoors, but also the mountain breeze is gently blowing, enjoy a trip, the soul's course
Slowly believe that nature is the slowest philosopher, the time that stops
In the embrace of the mountain, feel the tranquil life away from the hustle and bustle of the city, sit and watch the mountain about the homestay
As soon as you enter the door, it is Dajin at the front desk to check in Dajin has water

The Ten-Thousand Peak Forest
Wanfenglin (Ten-Thousand Peak Forest) is a must see scenic spot located in beautiful Xingyi, Guizhou.
There are many ways to enjoy this area's beauty.
Shuttle bus- For ¥110 you can take a shuttle bus up the mountain to get a spectacular view of the fields and villages below and the surrounding mountain peaks. After climbing up the mountain, the shuttle will take you through the fields and villages and back to your your starting point.
Bikes & Scooters- Hire a bike or a scooter and cycle along the winding roads that take you through the fields and villages. There are lots of gorgeous little coffee shops, cafes and restaurants to stop at along the way!
You can also walk or drive around the area, however, bikes and scooters are more convenient.
We recommend staying 1-2 days in the Wanfenglin scenic area. There are many lovely boutique hotels with a great view of the mountains.

Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks
Literally translating as Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks, Wanfenglin is one of China’s largest areas of karst landscape, famed for its tower-like fenglin formations. On either side of the valley, the karst hills rise from the horizon like humps on a sleeping dragon’s back.
🌲This area has what many popular areas lost long ago - a palpable sense of being well off the international tourist trail. And the best way is to cycling around instead of taking the suttle bus.
The area is super clean with a sense of calm. make sure to take active wear because there are a lot of outdoor activities to do, and the best way to enjoy the area is by bike. All in all I would definitely recommend this place as it has not yet been discovered by the crowds ☺️

Xingyi Wanfenglin: Karst Qiguan
Wanfenglin is located in the southeast of Xingyi City, Guizhou Province. It is a national-level scenic spot, a national AAAA-level scenic spot, the most beautiful five peak forests in China, and the first batch of industrial and agricultural tourism demonstration zones in China.
Wanfenglin belongs to the southwestern karst landform of China. It is called the China Cone Karst Museum and is known as the World Wonders. Wanfenglin consists of East and West Peak Forests with different landscapes. It is the largest and most typical karst peak forest in China. More than 316 years ago, the famous geographer and traveler Xu Xiake came to Wanfenglin. He also issued such a sigh: "There are so many mountains in the world, only the peaks here are forests." Xu Xiake once again came to Xingyi and wrote in his travel notes: "The peak of Cong Li, thousands of miles, is the southwestern odd."
onenone.
Here, because of the distance from the hustle and bustle of the city, plus the mountains and the dreamy green, it is quiet and peaceful. Especially when the night falls, the entire scenic spot is shrouded in the starry sky, which makes people feel like they are in a dreamland.
With this magnificent starry sky and the Milky Way, I gradually wake up from my sleep and greet myself. It is also a mountain peak and dreamy light and shadow, as if the fairy tale world is generally romantic and charming.

Wanfenglin
The Wanfenglin scenic area is located in the southeastern part of Xingyi City, Guizhou Province, with a grand and vast momentum. The mountain peaks have unique shapes, and the overall form is graceful, making it the largest and most typical karst peak forest in China.
More than three hundred and sixty years ago, Xu Xiake, a famous traveler of the Ming Dynasty, had visited Wanfenglin and exclaimed, 'There are so many mountain peaks in the world, but only here do the peaks form a forest.' According to the shape of the peak forest, it is divided into five major types: arrayed peak forest, sword peak forest, dragon peak forest, arhat peak forest, and stacked hat peak forest. Each type has its own characteristics, independently interesting and complementing the other types of peak forests, forming a magnificent and vast landscape. The Wanfenglin tourist area has successively won titles such as 'National Key Scenic Spot' and 'One of the Five Most Beautiful Peak Forests in China.'

The century-old temple in the cave, Wanfosi
Wanfosi, established during the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, integrates with the Wanfenglin scenic area and connects with the Mudong Stone Forest, belonging to a typical karst landform. The cave is 126 meters wide and 82 meters high, filled with thousands of spectacular and variously shaped wonders, which are considered the essence of the cave. The cave can accommodate more than ten thousand people and is a major Buddhist activity site for Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi provinces, known as a famous natural cave temple.
Opening Hours
8:00-22:00
Wanfosi is a completely free attraction, with no entrance fee and free parking.
Taking photos inside the temple actually captures nothing; one must go to the opposite Duobao Cave to take pictures (photos 1 to 6 are all taken from Duobao Cave). The tenth photo is taken inside the temple looking towards the opposite side, where the mountain peak directly opposite is Duobao Cave, which contains a group of stalactites, said to resemble the Guanyin of Sending Sons (photo 11).

Tips
🔸To enjoy the full view of Wanfenglin, you should take the sightseeing car to the mountain road around the hill, which is specially built for viewing the peaks.
🔸Because the valley is lower in terrain, considering the viewing effect, it is not as good as taking the sightseeing car to the mountain road, but if you have drone equipment, this can be ignored.
🔸The light is most abundant in the morning, suitable for photography; in the afternoon, the light is against you, but the contours of the peaks are more distinct.

Xingyi Wanfenglin, a paradise with few people and beautiful scenery where you don't have to queue!!
During the summer, everyone heads to Guizhou
But
Because it's cool, it's incredibly crowded
After multiple rounds of research and preparation
This time we chose a less popular route again
Five days and four nights of continuous fun
Watching the grasslands in Axili West—viewing waterfalls at Maling River—admiring Wanfenglin in Xingyi
The whole journey had few people, beautiful scenery, no queues, and no traffic jams
And in the end
In Xingyi
Our travel experience reached its peak
I must recommend this fairy-tale-like summer retreat to the whole world
Xingyi Wanfenglin!
1⃣️ Climb high for a distant view
The scenery of Wanfenglin is incredibly beautiful, you must, must buy a ticket for the scenic area's sightseeing bus!! Take the bus to the mountain top to overlook the panorama, with 5 parking spots and 2 viewing platforms.
From the sky, the view of the Bagua fields and the Fu character fields is truly beautiful and stunning!
The mountains of varying heights and distances, surrounded by lush green rice fields, are like something out of a fairy tale, very soothing to the heart!
2⃣️ Traditional villages
The entire scenic area consists of three Buyi villages, among which Shang Nahui and Zhong Nahui villages are mostly local residences, while Xia Nahui village is more developed, with restaurants, homestays, or cafes mostly located here.
But the overall commercial atmosphere is not strong, the local customs are simple, and the prices are not high.
So, you must come early, my friends! In two years, once the high-speed rail is connected, the experience will probably be discounted.
3⃣️ Cycling through the fields
Ride a small electric scooter or bicycle, weaving through the countryside fields surrounded by karst topography, with a gentle breeze and the scent of rice, the lush greenery fills your view, time slows down, and it's extremely comfortable!
4⃣️ Catching fish in the rice fields
There's a place on the right side of the archway in Xia Nahui village, where we went, located at the police office of Shang Nahui village in Wanfenglin Sub-district Office
Fishing costs 30 yuan per person, and if you catch any, it's 30 yuan per jin to take home
The kids next door caught one after another, while we ended up empty-handed by nightfall, but it's all about the experience
5⃣️ Long-term relaxation
Due to time constraints, we only played for two days this time, but the whole family has unanimously decided to come back for a longer stay next time to deeply experience the area.
Drinking tea, daydreaming, taking walks, this place will definitely be the perfect choice to relax and recharge
About the cost
Wanfenglin only charges for the panoramic view from the mountain, while visiting the villages below is completely free.
The recent ticket price for the scenic area is half off at 35 yuan, with free admission for seniors over 60 and children under 14 (ID required).
Electric carts cost 50 yuan per person (full price for those over 1.2 meters).
The electric carts operate like public buses, we rode and stopped along the way, playing for almost 3 hours, with few people and virtually no queues, and the organization was very orderly, definitely deserving of praise
About the weather
The temperature here is not high but the UV rays are strong (after all, it's on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau), and the weather forecast is completely inaccurate, with rain and sunshine alternating. So there's no need to worry too much about the weather affecting your plans.
It's advised to always bring rain gear, as Wanfenglin after the rain has a different kind of charm

I want to recommend Xingyi, Guizhou to the whole world
"Introducing Xingyi, Guizhou to the World: A Look Back at Last Year's Travel"
"Revisiting last year's journey, the trip to Xingyi was a rare and enriching experience. In the deep and tranquil canyons, you can paddle upstream to explore the secret waterfalls; or in the harvest season, appreciate the autumn colors of the Wumeng Mountains, riding an electric scooter through the golden sea of harvest; you can also climb to the top of Jade Emperor Peak, enjoy a cup of cold coffee, and gaze at the clouds, the overlapping mountains, and the blood-red sunset.
Take advantage of the few tourists and embark on this journey soon!"

A Treasure Inn Discovered in Xingyi Wanfenglin
A Treasure Inn Discovered in Xingyi Wanfenglin | Rong Su
This is a treasure guesthouse hidden in the Xingyi Wanfenglin, a world geological park, where every beautiful detail is a testament to the artisanal spirit of its creators. What I particularly admire is Rong Su's design of the indoor windows. All rooms cleverly utilize the misalignment of space, achieving a 'window to scenery' effect. Each window serves as a picture frame, combining with the natural landscape to form a beautiful mountain and water painting that unfolds before your eyes.
In such a beautiful environment, whether it's a fresh morning or a leisurely afternoon, brewing a pot of the local high mountain tea, gazing out the window at the distant peaks and the swirling mists, one can truly relax both body and mind in the tranquility.

Transportation is convenient, and it is said that basically everyone in the village has lived over a hundred years. The scenery is very good, with several large mountains isolating the village, giving it a sense of seclusion from the world. Visiting here to experience the village's atmosphere is worthwhile.

Wanfenglin Travel Guide
February's must-visit secret spot for rapeseed flowers❗️ A guaranteed 100% head-turning rate|||🌈 As one of the first places in the country where rapeseed flowers bloom, Guizhou Xingyi's Wanfenglin is about to enter the best viewing period. Karst topography creates a forest of peaks + rapeseed flowers + morning mist, all of which you can enjoy in just three days and two nights♾️
💰Three days and two nights cost within 800 yuan (excluding transportation)
Transportation:
🚄 There is no direct high-speed train from Guangzhou for now, you can take a high-speed train to Baise Station or Panzhou and then transfer to a bus to the scenic area.
🚞 About 22 hours from Guangzhou Station🚉 to Xingyi🚉, with sleeper tickets starting at 268.5 yuan. After arriving, take bus K30 to the scenic spot.
✈️ Wanfenglin Airport in Xingyi, then take bus route 1 or K30 to your destination.
🎫 Wanfenglin's ticket prices vary between peak and off-peak seasons. Off-peak season is from 12.1 to 2.28, with tickets at 60 yuan, sightseeing train at 50 yuan, and the scenic viewing car at 50 yuan; during peak season, the ticket is 70 yuan, with other prices unchanged.
Note that if you're just walking around the valley villages, you don't need a ticket.
🏨 The hotel environment in the scenic area is average, but it's recommended to stay for one night. Who can resist the temptation of seeing rapeseed flowers right outside the window?
🌼 It's suggested to rent a small electric scooter🛵 to travel around. Bargaining is possible when renting, and you can usually get one for around 40 yuan, sometimes even 30 yuan. Make sure to check the battery level🔋.
🛵 The route we took this time was Wanfenglin Square—General Peak—Upper Nahuai—Lower Nahuai—Wanfu Village—Wanfo Temple. There are other routes as well, and with a small electric scooter, you can choose any route you like, which is quite relaxing.
🌞 Be sure to get up early to see the Wanfenglin enveloped in a thin mist, it's a trip worth taking.

Savoring Sojourns
Are you confused? Guizhou? You actually don't promote such a place
This is the secret realm of Qianxinan, Xingyi Wanfenglin!
It is the peak described by Xu Xiake as 'There are so many mountains in the world, but only here do the peaks form a forest.'
She has two most beautiful seasons: one is the green rice fields in July and August, and the other is the yellow and orange flower fields at this moment. Sitting on the little train through the flower fields, it feels like being in an oil painting~
🛏【Hotel Strategy】
1. Hobbit Hut
This is the only homestay on the Wanfenglin scenic avenue, accommodation includes Wanfenglin scenic area ticket and sightseeing car, and also includes breakfast + dinner
Located halfway up the Nahuai Village, it overlooks the beautiful scenery of the Bagua fields~
2. Fenglin Yueshan
The most cost-effective homestay in Wanfenglin, with many room types to meet the needs of different families, it is a 10-minute drive from the Wanfenglin scenic area ticket office, and the price of 200+ is so tempting~

Wow! China's most beautiful peak forest - Wanfenglin, is simply a paradise on earth!
🏞️The first time I set foot in Wanfenglin, I was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery here! Located in Xingyi City, Guizhou Province, Wanfenglin is named for its thousands of peaks, which are too numerous to count. Its beauty has long been widely acclaimed. The Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake once praised: 'There are so many peaks in the world, but only here do the peaks form a forest', which truly speaks my heart! 💓
🌄The scale of Wanfenglin is super large, over 200 kilometers long and 30-50 kilometers wide, divided into East Peak Forest and West Peak Forest. Currently, the main area developed for tourism is the West Peak Forest, but the East Peak Forest also has its own unique charm!
🏞️The peak forests here have various forms, including arrayed peak forests, sword peak forests, dragon peak forests, arhat peak forests, and stacked-hat peak forests, which are truly the masterpieces of nature!
🌾And the most beautiful part of Wanfenglin is the perfect combination of peak forests and rural villages. Natural villages such as Nahui Village and Louna Village are scattered under the peak forests, complementing the flat countryside. In spring, the fields are filled with blooming rapeseed flowers; in autumn, the rice fields are golden. Walking or cycling through the fields, breathing the fragrance of the land, and basking in the afterglow of the sunset is truly a pleasure! 😍
🏡Living in the villages under Wanfenglin, you can leisurely see the peak forests every day, feeling like you are wandering in a painting. Especially in Louna Village under the East Peak Forest, the clear Louna River runs through the village, and the Bouyei dwellings are scattered at the foot of the mountain, as if placing one in a beautiful painting. 🎨
🌋In addition, Wanfenglin also has the spectacle of sinkholes! Among them, the Yugulu sinkhole is 600 meters deep and has been acclaimed by geological experts as the foremost sinkhole discovered in China, which is simply breathtaking! 😲
😘If you also want to experience the beauty of Wanfenglin for yourself, come and take a look! Believe me, the scenery here will not disappoint you! 💖

Guizhou?? Big mountains?? Since childhood, I only knew I had to strive to leave the mountains, but now in a foreign land, I often miss them
🌟Highlights:
Picture : Everyone knows that Guizhou has many tunnels, so the high-speed trains and trains in Guizhou emerge from tunnels every three seconds, but the scenery in those three seconds is already enough.
Picture : I forgot which mountain it was, maybe it's just an unnamed mountain, but it really looks like a painting🖼️, with a fairy-like aura.
Picture 📍Location: Xingyi Wanling Peak in Qianxinan
This place is really magnificent, with a multitude of mountains rising up, a small path beneath the mountains, winding and twisting. When the sky is about to brighten, it seems as if there are still clouds and mists between the mountains. If Li Bai saw this, there would probably be another excellent poem added to the Chinese textbooks.
Picture . For world bridges, look to China; for Chinese bridges, look to Guizhou.
The world's first concrete truss bridge, the Jiangjiehe Bridge, opened in 1995, marked the first successful human crossing of the hundreds of meters high Wu River in the 90s. From then on, what was once an insurmountable barrier became a thoroughfare. Cheers to the bridge builders!
Picture : The Maling River Canyon in Xingyi, Guizhou,
is known as 'the most beautiful scar on Earth.' Traveling through the Maling River Canyon, you unlock a different style of canyon waterfalls. As the summer heat approaches, I start to long for the tranquility and coolness of the mountains and waters. The terrain and landscape of Xingyi, Guizhou, are just right for a weekend getaway to Maling River Canyon and a relaxing drive during the May Day holiday.
This post is mainly to share the beautiful scenery I captured in Guizhou. The photos are unedited. If you have beautiful scenery to share, feel free to post it in the comments section. In the next post, I'll share about the Qianhu Miao Village in Guizhou.

The rural flower fields in Guizhou are picturesque and pleasing to the eye
🌟 When spring arrives, the rural houses in northern Guizhou, China, appear particularly habitable amidst the green mountains and waters. Real photography captures the distant mountain ridges and the ocean of rapeseed flowers, which are yellow and cover the fields like a painting. The breeze blows, and large patches of flowers sway vividly. The distant green mountains seem to embrace the sky, outlining a tranquil and magnificent rural spring scroll ❤️

💢Wanfenglin Scenic Area is located in the southeastern part of Xingyi City, Guizhou Province, with a grand and magnificent landscape, unique mountain shapes, and overall exquisite form. It is the largest and most typical karst peak forest in China.
💢More than three hundred and sixty years ago, the famous Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake once visited Wanfenglin and exclaimed: 'There are so many mountain peaks in the world, but only here do they form a forest.'
Based on the shape of the peak forest, it is divided into five types: arrayed peak forest, sword peak forest, dragon peak forest, arhat peak forest, and stacked hat peak forest. Each type has its own characteristics, is independently interesting, and complements the other types of peak forests, forming a majestic and vast landscape.
💢Wanfenglin Tourist Scenic Area has successively won titles such as 'National Key Scenic Spot' and 'China's Five Most Beautiful Peak Forests'.
💢The end of February to the beginning of March each year is the season when the rapeseed flowers in Wanfenglin bloom, with the golden sea of flowers dotted with Mantou peak forests and scattered rural houses, sketching out a beautiful pastoral scroll.🌷
I am very fortunate to be in Guizhou and to appreciate such beautiful scenery🏞

The common people of Xingyi are unaware, only here do the peaks form a forest
⛰️ Xu Xiake once praised it, saying 'There are many mountain peaks in the world, but only here do the peaks form a forest.'
The Wanfenglin of Xingyi still hides countless secrets today.
Some come to see its Bagua fields,
Some come to visit the Wanfo Temple,
Others come to witness the stars surrounding the moon, wishing for longevity and prosperity.
There are 9 scenic spots in Wanfenglin that you can visit by taking the scenic area sightseeing bus or hiring a private car.
'Peaks, dragons, pits, crevices, forests, lakes, springs, caves', the scenery of Wanfenglin is a karst spectacle that you can see differently no matter how many times you visit.
Those who like hiking can take the Guanfeng Trail, which connects the various scenic spots of Wanfenglin, but be very careful not to take shortcuts up the mountain!
Although the golden sea of rapeseed flowers intermingles with the lush green mountains in Wanfenglin, who knows what mysteries lie hidden in the primeval forest behind this pastoral painting? to Guizhou to enjoy the spring mountains flower viewing, a colorful Guizhou discovery trip

Having witnessed the Wanfenglin peaks described by Xu Xiake as 'only here do peaks form a forest
'
During the Ming Dynasty, the traveler Xu Xiake would call Wanfenglin: 'There are so many peaks in the world, but only here do peaks form a forest.'
I originally thought it was an exaggeration by the ancients, but it was not until I saw so many peaks standing before my eyes that I truly experienced the sincerity of the ancients.
Village after village is wrapped among the mountains, and the spring atmosphere also allows one to take in the full view of the greenery covering the mountains.
Of course, if you are tired from walking, you can also find a place to rest at the foot of the mountain, or find a small shop to order a local sour soup beef, enjoying the local delicacies while savoring the beauty of the area.

Xingyi, Guizhou, the brilliant pearl of the southwest
Guizhou trip's first stop, I chose Xingyi, the capital of Qianxinan. The climate here is pleasant, making it a year-round health and wellness destination. Although Xingyi is not large and its attractions are not numerous, I spent a wonderful week here and have carefully compiled a cost-effective 3-day and 2-night Xingyi travel guide for your reference.
Day1️⃣: First, we head to the Qianxinan State Museum to deeply understand the history of 'Yelang's arrogance'. The precious cultural relics in the museum are dazzling. Next, we visit the rarely inhabited Tiankeng—Yubulu Tiankeng, which National Geographic has praised as 'the nostalgia in the Tiankeng'. Finally, we arrive at the beautiful Louna Village, which is like a miniature version of the Wanfenglin, to feel the tranquility and beauty.
Day2️⃣: On the second day, we go to the Wanfenglin Scenic Area. Admission is free here, but the sightseeing car costs 85 yuan per person. If you want to move more freely among the rice fields, it is recommended to rent an electric car for only 50 yuan. The rice fields, villages, and mountains complement each other, healing the heart and very suitable for family trips. The commercial facilities in the scenic area are well-developed, so there are no worries about food and drink.
Day3️⃣: On the last day, we visit the Maling River Canyon, Nanlong Buyi Ancient Village, and Yuhuangding. The Maling River ticket is half price at only 35 yuan per person, and the other attractions are free. A reminder, if you drive there and want to climb less and spend less, it is recommended to enter from the Xiaoqingshan entrance. In addition, unless you have difficulty walking, there is no need to take the elevator, as it only requires walking a short flight of stairs. It takes about 1.5 hours from Xiaoqingshan to the Wanma Pentium Waterfall, with most of the route being flat or descending stairs. From Wanma Pentium to the Dachaowo exit, you need to walk up a section of stairs for about 15 minutes, and then walk 800 meters to return to Xiaoqingshan.
Transportation🚘: Xingyi has Wanfenglin Airport, which offers direct flights; there is also a train station, but no high-speed rail yet. You can take a bus from Guiyang, but self-driving is more convenient.
Accommodation🏠: The Lanjun Select Hotel is recommended for its high cost-performance ratio, about 3 kilometers away from both Wanfenglin Airport and the city center, with convenient dining.
Food🍜: Try local specialties such as Anlong Jianfen, Zhou Hongya Lamb Restaurant, Zou Ji Chicken Meatballs, and Wanfenglin Egg Fried Rice and other characteristic snacks.
