Back from Xingyi, sisters who want to go should proceed with caution

My dears! It's been a few days since I came back from Xingyi, and I'm still obsessed with the scenery and food there😭 But first, a word of warning: you really won't want to leave once you've been! I've put together a super comprehensive guide, so save it before you go~ 🌄Must-see attractions, each one so beautiful it'll leave you speechless! 1. Wanfenglin Taking a sightseeing bus through the "Bagua Fields" and the karst peaks, every photo you take is wallpaper-worthy! Although the rapeseed flowers in April have withered, the lush green rice paddies and Buyi villages complement each other beautifully. I recommend going on a clear evening, as the setting sun casts a magical glow on the peaks~ Renting an electric scooter at the entrance of the scenic area is also super relaxing! 2. Maling River Canyon It's not an exaggeration to call it "the most beautiful scar on earth"! Standing on the canyon plank road, watching the waterfalls cascade down from a height of 100 meters🌊 The water mist on your face is super refreshing! Remember to wear non-slip shoes, as some of the steps are quite slippery~ 3. Guizhou Chun Distillery Scenic Spot A hidden gem for taking photos! There are vast flower fields, European-style castles, and a super romantic mushroom-shaped luxury hotel, perfect for taking photos with your besties📷 And the best part is, admission is free! You can also see a stunning sunset in the evening~ 4. Yuhuangding Peak The perfect spot to watch the sunrise and sea of clouds! Depart at 5am, and hiking in the dark is a little thrilling~ But when the first rays of sunlight pierce through the clouds and illuminate the panoramic view of Wanfenglin, it's all worth it! Sisters who are afraid of the cold should bring a thick coat. 5. Jilong Fortress The "Little Neuschwanstein Castle of Guizhou" is built on a small island in the middle of a lake🦢 I recommend buying a boat ticket to the island. There's a cafe and an observation deck in the castle, perfect for taking photos with an exotic feel! The surrounding lakeside walking path is also very pleasant for a stroll~ 🍜Local specialties, so delicious you'll lick the plate clean! ✔️ Chicken Soup Dumplings A magical combination unique to Xingyi! Savory chicken filling wrapped in a soft and glutinous dumpling skin, drizzled with sesame sauce and crispy soybeans. One bite is pure satisfaction! I recommend the old shop "Zou Ji Tangyuan"~ ✔️ Bamboo Pole Noodles Made by pressing the dough with large bamboo poles, the noodles are firm and chewy! Served with a secret meat sauce and sour radish, one slurp and you'll be hooked! Remember to add a spoonful of chili oil🌶️ ✔️ Mutton Noodle Soup So fresh it'll make your eyebrows fall off! The soup base is made from local black goats, served with thinly sliced mutton and sour cabbage, and sprinkled with chili paste. A bowl in the morning will warm you up from head to toe~ ✔️ Shuabatou It looks like shumai, but the filling is bamboo shoots, lean meat, and chicken soup jelly! Dipped in a special sauce, it's refreshing and appetizing~ 📝Travel preparations & precautions ✅ Transportation: Xingyi has an airport, but flights are limited. I recommend flying to Guiyang and transferring to the high-speed train (2 hours); taxis are cheap within the city, but the attractions are scattered, so renting a car is more convenient. ✅ Clothing: There's a big temperature difference between day and night in April, so bring a light jacket + long sleeves; the UV rays are strong, so sunscreen and a sun hat are essential! ✅ Avoid: The sightseeing bus route within the Wanfenglin scenic area is fixed. If you want to explore in depth, I recommend renting an electric scooter; don't buy "wild mushrooms" sold by vendors around the scenic area to avoid accidental poisoning. ✅ Reservations: Tickets for Maling River Canyon can be purchased on-site, but it's recommended to book in advance on the official WeChat account if there are many people. Sisters, Xingyi is really worth visiting multiple times! Both the scenery and the food are unforgettable~ Save this guide and let's go!✨
