[2025 Guiyang Attraction] Travel Guide for Ye Lang Gu The Story of Stone (Updated Feb)

This time I came to Guiyang, Guizhou, to visit this mysterious place! [Ye Lang Valley Travel Guide] 🔸Ye Lang Valley is a fantasy castle built by artist Song Peilun over 20 years using stones. It not only has unique stone landscapes, but also rich ethnic cultural elements. 🔸There are many exquisite ethnic accessories and interesting intangible cultural heritage experiences in the scenic area, which are popular among girls. However, when buying accessories, pay attention to the quality and price to avoid being taken advantage of. 🔸To take beautiful photos, it is recommended to arrive at the scenic area at around 9 am, when there are relatively few tourists, and you can easily take satisfactory photos. At the same time, the scenic area provides Miao and Han clothing rental and travel photography services, so you don't have to worry about missing beautiful moments. 🔸It should be noted that Ye Lang Valley is not particularly large, and if you just take a rough tour, you can finish it in about 30 minutes. Therefore, it is best to visit it together with nearby attractions, such as Qingyan Ancient Town, Huaxi Park, Shili River Beach, Tianhetan, and Confucius Academy. [One-day Tour Route Recommendation] 🔸Morning: First arrive at Ye Lang Valley, immerse yourself in the mysterious atmosphere of the stone castle, and feel the charm of art. 🔸Noon: Depart from Ye Lang Valley and head to Qingyan Ancient Town. It is one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou, with a long history of 600 years. It is an ancient town built of stone, preserving a large number of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Taste local specialties in the ancient town to replenish your energy. 🔸Afternoon: After visiting Qingyan Ancient Town, head to Shili River Beach. The streams here are gurgling and the trees are lush, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your leisure time.

🗿 Take note: This is the reason I came to Guiyang. In fact, before this trip, the reason why I chose Guiyang, apart from the cuisine, was that Yelang Valley really was a place I longed to visit, to experience the shock. So, the next morning, the first stop we made was to Yelang Valley. ————————— Name: Huaxi Yelang Valley Address: Intersection of Siyang Road and Huayan Road, Huaxi District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province Open: 08:30-19:00, no entry after 18:00 Ticket: 20 yuan ————————— 🗿 Walking into Yelang Valley, I originally thought it was an ancient village with some folk characteristics and rugged stone statues, but as I walked further in, passing through the winding paths and into the suddenly clear valley beside the mountains, my goodness! It was stunning, so shocking! 🌟 Shocking Stepping into Yelang Valley, the first sight is shocking. Walking down the stone steps into the valley, surrounded by mountains, stand the astonishing stone statues. Walking among them, every direction offers a finely carved, shocking scene, and the area is vast, visually magnificent, breathtaking. 🌟 Bizarre The stone statues have a bizarre tribal texture, as if they have been gone for many years. The bizarre totem-like images have an indescribable sense of wonder. Regarding these bizarre stone statues, I can't say what they mean, I only know that their strangeness is fascinating. 🌟 Mysterious This place seems like an ancient, lost mysterious tribe. A winding river stretches across the mysterious valley, as if it's a long-standing relic of civilization. Standing in this valley, looking up, it feels like being transported to a place never reached before. 🌟 Artistic Rugged paths, city walls, castles, stone bridges, this is a natural open-air art gallery, where each stone sculpture is exquisitely detailed and unique. The so-called 'Yelang Valley' is the Yelang imagined by artists, a creation of twenty years, presented before the world. 🗿 This is undoubtedly one of the most impressive attractions I have visited recently. Laughter, anger, eeriness, horror, all kinds of stone statues converge in this mysterious world, making it a great photo spot. The ticket is also cheap, worth a visit, and makes the trip worthwhile.

An Indian style would be awesome~ 1 person, 20 years, forging a mysterious tribe. "The arrogance of Yelang" is a well-known story, appearing in the Yelang ancient country more than two thousand years ago during the Qin and Han dynasties, alongside the ancient Loulan and ancient Qiuci countries, flourishing for a time and renowned throughout the world. Crossing through the mysterious tunnels of history, the charm of Yelang culture is endless. In a Yelang valley in Guizhou, modern imagination of ancient Yelang is fully integrated. Using the phrase "unknown to the world" to describe Nightingale Valley is very appropriate. Before entering the scenic area, a forest blocks out the noise from the city. Looking around, all you see are trees, but once you pass through the Masson pine forest, you discover a hidden paradise. The canyon is long and deep, like a giant tear in the earth. Walking along the valley floor, you'll come across small bridges and flowing water, making for a pleasant journey. Looking up from below, the white clouds are far away, and the towering cliffs are breathtaking! Here is the Nightman under the command of Song Peilun, an artist who has returned from traveling in America. When living in the United States, Song Peilun created "Nightman Castle, Nightman Totem, Nightman Masks", and in China, he also created large-scale Nightman national works such as "Devil City, Nightman Valley", as well as many artworks related to Nightman culture. Nightman Valley is Song Peilun's masterpiece among the green mountains and clear waters.

Getting There - a Didi is around 45 minutes from Guiyang city center and takes up to 40 minutes. The outside is clearly identifiable because you can already see columns of stone heads lining up. A ticket will cost around 65rmb. Attractions - This is, as they like to call it "the story of stone", these big facial pillars all lined up in rows are in itself an attraction, there's also a castle you can gaze upon and enjoy the waterway dividing them. Food & Restaurants - there are some small vendors inside and out selling water, drinks and small snacks. Shopping - This is the only place I picked up a souvenir, as the stone head shapes are so unique. #solotravel #staycation #urbanexplorer

If you’re in Guiyang and not sure what to do in the city, you should check out Yelang valley. Good place for a little walk and nice art to look at. Location: Huaxi, Guiyang, Guizhou

Stone age. Big chunks of stones. Different sizes of stone heads. Standing as high as 20feet or even more. These are remarkably huge stone head castle. Solely built by Chinese artist Song Peilun. Mr. Song designed and built the stone castle in the barren forest with the theme of Nuo's opera's facial make up, masks and characters, and the materials of stones, pottery pieces, and pots that can be seen everywhere, based on a local mountain shape, river direction and its original state. The castle is the half of the two main attractions inside the Huaxi Yelang Valley park. #solofemaletraveler #explorechina #birthdaytreat

Spend a couple hours exploring these unique stone statues near Guiyang. The park is not very big so 1-2 hours should be plenty. There’s quite a few vendors selling a drinks and snacks and a gift shop with themed art to purchase. If you want to take photos get there early. The sun can create some unattractive shadows so go on a cloudy for better photos. Cost - 20 rmb Getting There - Drive about 45 minutes from the Guiyang city center. Take a didi there if you don’t have a car. I was easily able to find one coming back too. #summervacation #chinatravel #guiyang #guizhoutravel #guizhou #guizhoutrip #urbanexplorer

This holiday I decided to pick a completely random destination just from looking at a map of China. I decided on Guiyang as I hadn't seen much about it on social media. I am extremely happy with this choice. On the first day we went to the Stone Head Castle built by Song Peilun during his 70s. Each head is uniquely designed and there are more than 200 stone heads on the grounds. This project took him 20 years. From the city, you can take a taxi for 70rmb and that takes 45mins OR you can take a bus for 2 hours. There are plenty of food vendors on site and lots of souvenir shops. The cost of an entry ticket is 20rmb. #guiyang #guizhoutravel #chinatravel #tigeryear2022 #stoneheads #travels #travel Inspiration

Yelang Valley was a very unique and fun trip! It’s a 15 minute drive from Qingyan Ancient Town and about a 45 minute drive from Guiyang. I travelled by taxi which was both easy and cost effective. Admission price was 40rmb and I spent around an hour at the site. A huge stone castle has been built with numerous stone heads dotted around and throughout the grounds. The heads were rather comical, and there seemed to be a stone faced figure to represent all the emotions you can think of. There is also a beautiful river that flows through the grounds. #travelinspiration #awesomepic #summervacation #summervacation

Yelang Valley, located next to Huaxi University Town in Guiyang, is an art palace of the ancient Yelang Kingdom created by artist Song Peilun over the course of more than 20 years. Ordinary people like us may not understand the inspiration of artists, but the large number of stone sculptures can still shock us with the power of art. The small castle of the ancient Yelang Kingdom is built on the mountain and by the water, with huge statues on both sides of the river, as if they are telling stories and arguing. Is this passionate and wild appearance the arrogance of the Yelang people, who believed they were greater than the Han people? 📍Address: Dangwu Township, Huaxi District, Guiyang City; 🚉Transportation: Take bus 255 or 207 in Guiyang City and get off at Dongqing South Road, then walk for about 20 minutes to reach the destination; 💰Average cost: CNY 20 per person, students and seniors over 60 years old can enjoy a half-price discount with valid ID; 🌟Highlights: Karst landform, stone art, Yelang culture; ⏳Duration: 2–3 hours.

There are many tourist attractions in Guizhou, but they are scattered. Driving is much more convenient. This time, we went to Huaxi for a 1-day trip. Huaxi is located in the south of Guiyang and is a picturesque tourist destination. Huaxi is famous for its fresh natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. First stop: Guiyang - Yelang Valley (50 min) Key point: Not recommended! If you are not an art lover, don't go! The ticket is CNY 20 per person, which is not worth it. 80% of the area is shops, and the rest are basically aboriginal-style stone statues. You will regret it if you go. Second stop: Yelang Valley - Qiantao (1 hr) Qiantao is a great place for kids. It is basically a place for playing in the water. We found the following places, and they are all good. 1. Yangmei Reservoir A large reservoir lake, suitable for fishing, but not very suitable for children to play in the water. You can ignore it if you have kids, but the scenery is very good. You can see the sky and clouds like those in Tibet. 2. Xunqian Fangtao Not as good as expected. The water is a little dirty, and parking is not very convenient. The highlight is that you can do pottery. There is a small bamboo raft on the water for taking photos. It is very photogenic. You can drink tea and chat by the river. 3. Xiaobaituo The most important part of the Qiantao trip is parking, playing in the water, and having a barbecue by the water. You can let your kids have fun. There are also few people. 4. Limu Village - Baidong River The road is difficult to drive on, and only one car can pass. It is not recommended for those who are not good at driving. However, there are few people. There are several places along the way where you can stop to play in the water and fish. The water is very clean, so you can play with confidence. Third stop: Qingyan Ancient Town Many people say that the shops in Qingyan Ancient Town close early at night, and you should go there before 5 pm. But in fact, the snack street in the central area is still bustling at 7 pm, so you don't have to worry about going late. It is very comfortable to stroll around at night when the temperature is suitable. Food recommendations: Siwawa, Yangyu Ba, braised pig's feet, Gaoba porridge Most shops have snack sets, which include all the local delicacies, for CNY 58. You can only drive into Qingyan Ancient Town if you stay in a hotel in the ancient town. Otherwise, you can only park in the parking lot next to the scenic area. If you are traveling with kids, don't miss the trip to Huaxi!
