    Taking the cable car from the East Gate of Fanjingshan is definitely a must. Save your energy for the Red Cloud Golden Summit and the Old Golden Summit. The whole ride takes 20 minutes, and the scenery is beautiful. There are small windows near the doors where you can take photos. It's best to get on the last one uphill for a better seat. For the 140 yuan ticket price, it's well worth it, as the cable car goes over several mountain passes.

    The scenic area is quite large, and although there are buses, there are also many areas where you need to walk. The scenery is beautiful, and with fewer tourists during the off-season, it's a very comfortable place to explore. Buses run approximately every 10 minutes, connecting different attractions.

    The stilted houses in Xijiang Miao Village are magnificent, layer upon layer, built against the mountain. As night falls and the lights come on, they present a different kind of brilliant night view than during the day!

    There weren't many people in the afternoon, and you can spend one to two hours exploring the cave. The many giant stalactites are truly spectacular. There are quite a few steps, so even elderly people can walk up them slowly.

    You can choose to use public transportation to visit Qingyan Ancient Town. We took Metro Line 3 from Guiyang and then transferred to bus 203 to get there. The ancient town is more commercialized than when I visited a few years ago, but it's still a great place to stroll around, eat, take kids, and take photos. It has history, culture, nature, and people. 🫰

    This is a very worthwhile attraction. It's quite impressive. The courtyard isn't large; an hour is enough. There are Nuo opera performances at 12:30 and 15:30. I stayed a little longer to wait for the performance, but I really enjoyed it.

    The world's largest radio telescope, located in Pingtang, Guizhou, is nestled amidst mountains. Although not a tourist attraction, the surrounding scenery is no less stunning than other natural landscapes. Its greatest advantage is that one can learn about astronomy while enjoying the natural scenery.
