📷Check in and take photos:
1️⃣Architectural style: the stone houses, stone walls, and stone roads in the village form a unique landscape. The buildings are built by the mountains and rivers, and the layout is neat and tidy. There are also towering ancient trees and century-old buildings
2️⃣Tiankeng: The crystallization of wisdom combined with art and function is said to be designed and produced by teachers and students of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. When floods and heavy rains strike, it can play the role of a funnel (the scenery of Tiankeng is not big, far less than the photos can bring people. Surprise, but it is indeed a good view)
3️⃣Climb high and look into the distance: You can climb to the top of the mountain to overlook the entire village
4️⃣Historical heritage: The village is mostly Chen, it is said that it is the descendants of Chen Youliang who migrated here to multiply and reproduce, and still retains the ancient banner culture of the Central Plains

📝Tips for playing:
①, Self-driving navigation Xianren Bridge, after getting off the highway, it is strongly recommended to take Dachang Town➠ Sanwangping Grassland➠ Baocun Village➠ Erping Grassland➠ Xianren Bridge. Otherwise, if you follow the mountain road recommended by the navigation, you will sweat all over the 70-degree steep slope
②, Sanwangping Grassland, the distant mountains are towering, the mountains and the sky are connected, there is a fairy tale feeling of running towards the clouds. Herds of cattle leisurely eat grass, alpine meadows let you run
‼️Almost no tourists, and free
③, Yubulu Tiankeng, hidden in a primitive village with a history of 600 years, the tiankeng and sinkhole in the fields are very interesting, although it has attracted some tourists to visit, the village style is still simple
‼️There is a viewing platform on the way from Yubulu to Qinghe River by car
④, Qinghe River Scenic Area, currently you can register at the entrance and walk in for free. More people book in advance to play paddle boards here. If you have time, you can experience playing paddle boards under the canyon waterfall
⑤, Cloud House☕️ Coffee shop is a place I like very much, the viewing platform is very beautiful for taking photos
⑥, Jilongbao, a magical castle on an island in Wanshanghu Lake, known by netizens as "Hogwarts School of Magic" and "Chinese Swan Castle". No new drone position, my homepage has a separate introduction including road book
⑦, Wanfo Temple, the ancient temple in the cave is very unique. To enter the main hall, you need to climb a mountain, and the steps are also very steep
‼️Local people say that minors are not allowed to worship
⑧, Wanshanlin, the peak forest is as magnificent as thousands of troops and horses, as strange as the waves of the ocean. The golden rice fields in autumn make it a beautiful oil painting.
Riding a small electric donkey through the fields, fishing in the rice fields, and sitting in a coffee shop in the rice fields to watch the wind blow the wheat are all happy
⑨, Maling River Canyon, known as the "most beautiful scar on earth", is breathtakingly beautiful. Hiking in the canyon, the waterfalls cascading down the cliffs along the way stir up water mist, making the entire canyon dreamlike

Flourishing in Yunnan and Guizhou | The rain replenishes the Lu Tiankeng Stone Village
In a sinkhole in Guizhou, there is a stone village that has been a refuge for over 600 years, with only one way in and out. This is
the Tiankeng Stone Village located in the Qianxinan of Guizhou, a mountain village hidden in the Lu Tiankeng. All the houses are built of stone, and the entire village is surrounded by mountains, resembling a paradise. The stone buildings and stone pavements of the village are very unique, and the environment is pristine, with fresh air. Now, 90% of the villagers have moved to the city, leaving only a few elderly people behind. The history of the village dates back over 600 years, when, due to isolation and wars, it is said that families mainly surnamed Chen fled here and settled down. The stone architecture and environment of the entire village give a sense of simplicity, tranquility, and comfort, making one feel relaxed and happy.
The Yubulu Tiankeng is a national 3A scenic area, located within the jurisdiction of Xingyi City in southwestern Guizhou. It is shaped like a trumpet flower, with a flat bottom and a height difference of over 600m. Surrounded by peculiar peaks, 126 households live around the bottom of the sinkhole. The village is picturesque, with stone houses, stone walls, stone roads, forests, and bamboo, all naturally charming. On the eastern side of the sinkhole halfway up the mountain, there is a spring that, in addition to satisfying the drinking needs of the villagers and their livestock, also irrigates more than 200 acres of good farmland within the sinkhole. On the western side, there is a waterfall hole, which is the sinkhole drain (sinkhole funnel), discharging excess water. This sinkhole has been called the foremost of China's discovered sinkholes by geologists. The area of the ancient Yubulu village is more than 20,000 square meters, and the layout of the entire village is well distributed. The houses are concentrated on one side of the road, while the center of the bottom of the sinkhole is covered with large farmlands. The mountains surrounding the sinkhole tightly enclose the village at the bottom, with farmlands, houses, and forests interspersed among them, forming a harmonious scene.
