Zhijin Cave Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Guizhou - Zhijin Cave
Visiting 织金洞 (Zhijin Cave) was an amazing experience!
I started early morning from Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou. I booked a car to take me to and pick me up from the caves as it’s about a 2 hour drive from Guiyang. This cost 800rmb. A taxi is slightly cheaper however, my taxi app (Didi) didn’t have any cars at the location.
The admission price to enter the caves was 120rmb (worth every penny). After buying your ticket you take a free shuttle bus to the cave entrance. There are many different attractions within the cave. Beautiful, natural caverns with an extensive array of grottos, rock shelters and speleothems. The cave is well lit with informative signs along the way. There are also designated places to stop for rests and toilet breaks. The walk through the cave was highly enjoyable but long. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes. I spent about 2 hours exploring under the ground.
Upon completing the cave walk there is a very scenic walk back to the shuttle buses. Here you can spend some time shopping small trinkets and having a meal.
I stayed in Yoyo Hotel in Guiyang. The staff were wonderful and helped me to book the car.

In Bijie, Guizhou, in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, there is a place called the Wujiangyuan Baili Gallery, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the clouds float, and you can see the people here swimming and playing in the water.
Take a cruise along the Wujiang River, look at the canyons on both sides of the stalwart, and the green lake, just like in the fairyland, you don't have to think about it at this time, just feel the beauty.
Wujiang Baili Gallery "Mountains like axe, water like jasper, lychee hovering, waterfowl and snorkeling", "Qishan, rock, clear water, shoal, ancient town, covered bridge, fiber road, burial" constitute the Wujiang Gallery Landscape elements. In particular, Lichee Gorge, Baiji Gorge and Tuzizi Gorge are the finest works of Shanshui Gallery. The poet Mei Ruoweng of the Qing Dynasty praised: "The mountains and rivers should be pushed first."

|Wujiangyuan Hundred-Mile Gallery|||The Wujiangyuan Hundred-Mile Gallery is located in the southwestern part of Qianxinan, . Unbeatable River View|Wujiangyuan Hundred-Mile Gallery|||The Wujiangyuan Hundred-Mile Gallery is located in the southwestern part of Qianxinan, formed by the construction of the Dongfeng Hydropower Station. The lake area is 62 kilometers long, with a width between 60 and 1000 meters, and a water surface area of nearly 200,000 square kilometers. As a typical karst high mountain gorge reservoir, it features long flowing green water, flocks of wild ducks, rippling boats, evening fishing songs, and a blend of cliff and river colors matching the sky. The steep cliffs on both sides, with their fault-line murals carved by nature, and numerous waterfalls and mountain springs falling into the lake, make it the most beautiful cliff gallery on the thousand-mile Wujiang River.
Highlight 1: Dongfeng Lake—The divine touch of the Wujiangyuan Gallery, with enchanting scenery, combining gorges, lakes, caves, and waterfalls into one, has always been praised as 'Mountains like the Three Gorges but with superior waters, waters like the Li River but with superior mountains.' The winding 11 bends contain the beauty of grandeur, divinity, and meandering.
Highlight 2: Hundred-Mile Gallery
The scenic area's viewing platform offers an overlook of Dongfeng Lake and the full view of the Miao village, and it is also the best spot to appreciate the fault-line murals.

Zhongguohe Scenic Area is located in Zhongjian Township of Qianxi County, 35 kilometers from Qianxi County Town, mainly including the Journey to the West rafting, China Meng Rabbit Island, Journey to the West Film and TV City, and the 'Light Forest' project. Boarding a boat and watching the distant sunset reflect on the lake, the shimmering waves make the mountains appear even more majestic. No entrance fee is required, but the boat ride costs 60 yuan per person (round trip).
Rafting is divided into extreme rafting (Moonlight Treasure Box section) and glass slide rafting (Great Sage's Marriage section), with the extreme rafting starting from Yena Reservoir.

Guizhou is still undiscovered!! This secret route is stunning! Guizhou|Seize it before it gets popular! This secret route is stunning! Ha Chong karst cave, with distinctive Guizhou cave features, the cave entrance is covered with relics. The road to the cliff of the cave is particularly reminiscent of the geological landscape of the northwest, where you can take photos that look like they were taken in the Gobi Desert.
The riverside Miao village, an ancient Miao village perched on the cliffs, offers an immersive experience of a vanishing paradise.
Wujiang Secret Path, personally, I think this is the most unique experience on the route, bending over (and even crawling in some places) to walk along the cliffside secret path, passing several caves along the way, and then seeing a beam of light shining into a house foundation, the most quintessential part of the Wujiang Hundred Miles Gallery, where you can capture a real-life landscape painting.

Asilixi Prairie Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
It's worth visiting the off-the-beaten-path Axi Lixi Prairie in Guizhou
Axi Lixi Prairie, located at the junction of three townships in Hezhang County, Guizhou Province, covers an area of over forty square kilometers and has an altitude of more than 2,400 meters. This vast prairie, like a huge green carpet, stretches for dozens of miles, covering a million acres of land. On the prairie, the slopes are gentle, the vegetation is lush, and wildflowers sway gently in the breeze, as if you are in a fairyland surrounded by golden flowers.
The Axi Lixi Prairie scenic area is rich and diverse, with attractions such as Ertaipo Prairie, Wanfenglin, Heitang Divine Charm, Yingshui Village Daizhai Mountain and Water Painting, and Shibanh River Creek Waterfall Group, each with its own characteristics. Ertaipo, as one of the core scenic areas of the prairie, means 'slope upon slope.' Here, the mountains undulate, the peaks are lush, larks soar, and cattle and sheep stroll leisurely on the prairie, with shepherd's songs echoing in the air, as if a magnificent painting of the northern prairies.
The cattle and sheep on the prairie run freely under the breeze, the green trees and bamboo sway gracefully, and the clear mountain springs flow melodiously, adding endless vivacity to this land. On this magical land, the blue sky and the earth reflect each other, the Cang mountains and ginger grass nestle against each other, and the hard and the gentle intertwine into beautiful paintings, displaying the grandeur and diversity of the Wumeng mountain range.
The Asilisi Grassland in Hezhang County, Guizhou Province welcomes you
The Asilisi Grassland features gentle slopes, lush grass, wildflowers everywhere, skylarks soaring, herds of cattle and sheep, and the constant sound of pastoral songs. In the midst of the grassland, there are graceful bamboo forests and the clear, flowing mountain springs, which add to its dynamic beauty. In the Yi language, Asilisi means 'everyone come together to dance,' reflecting the Yi people's love for life and their friendly nature.
The Asilisi Grassland is located in the southeastern part of Hezhang County, Guizhou Province, with the central area being 40 kilometers away from the county town. The grassland is usually off-season from January to December with closing time at 17:00, while the peak season is from March to April with closing time at 18:00. The total area of the grassland is 50 square kilometers, covering the range of 10 villages across 4 townships: Xingfa, Weishe, Baiguo, and Guda.
The wind of the grassland, the clouds of the grassland, the cattle and sheep of the grassland
There is no Guizhou in the west of Sichuan, but there is Asilisi, known for its grasslands. The Ertai Slope Scenic Area is accessible by self-driving for a leisurely stroll. Driving through the wilderness from low to high into Ertai Slope, one is greeted by the spectacle of mountains coming to court, and peaks gathering like a congregation. The roads within the scenic area are one-way, with many parking areas. There are viewing platforms at Tiankeng, Nümao Mountain, and Wanfeng Platform, where you can stop to climb and enjoy the view at leisure. The internet-famous 'Wave Road' adds a unique charm, and if not for time constraints, I would have walked it more than twice. At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the grassland is still lush green, with flowers sparsely dotted around. Campers choose their beautiful spots to settle in, enjoying the morning glow and the evening clouds. Cattle, sheep, and horses are the real masters here; they are not as tame as they appear. On the way, we were blocked by a herd of cattle for a long time, focused on filming only to be sneak-attacked from behind by a cow, and even saw a group of cattle snatching kebabs from campers.
Entering Ertai Slope by car costs 100 yuan per vehicle, including the driver, with an additional charge of 10 yuan per extra person. There are camping hotels in the scenic area, as well as many snack bars.
