Wanfenglin (“Ten-Thousand Peak Forest”)

'There are so many peaks in the world, only here are the peaks forested.' The vast karst landscape surrounds more than 6,000 acres of rice fields, dotted with Bouyei tribes with gray tile walls, which can be described as extremely beautiful. Wanfenglin is the largest and most typical karst peak forest in China. Here you can see the continuous peaks and endless rapeseed fields, which are so beautiful as if you have walked into an oil painting. It is recommended to stay in the homestay next to the rapeseed field, very comfortable. Wanfenglin scenic area is very large, and there are rapeseed fields everywhere in the scenic area.

After a trip to Guizhou, my friends thought I had been to Europe. Xingyi, a treasure town hidden in the mountains of Guizhou⛰️, is where spring arrives earliest.

A Treasure Inn Discovered in Xingyi Wanfenglin | Rong Su This is a treasure guesthouse hidden in the Xingyi Wanfenglin, a world geological park, where every beautiful detail is a testament to the artisanal spirit of its creators. What I particularly admire is Rong Su's design of the indoor windows. All rooms cleverly utilize the misalignment of space, achieving a 'window to scenery' effect. Each window serves as a picture frame, combining with the natural landscape to form a beautiful mountain and water painting that unfolds before your eyes. In such a beautiful environment, whether it's a fresh morning or a leisurely afternoon, brewing a pot of the local high mountain tea, gazing out the window at the distant peaks and the swirling mists, one can truly relax both body and mind in the tranquility.

During the summer, everyone heads to Guizhou But Because it's cool, it's incredibly crowded After multiple rounds of research and preparation This time we chose a less popular route again Five days and four nights of continuous fun Watching the grasslands in Axili West—viewing waterfalls at Maling River—admiring Wanfenglin in Xingyi The whole journey had few people, beautiful scenery, no queues, and no traffic jams And in the end In Xingyi Our travel experience reached its peak I must recommend this fairy-tale-like summer retreat to the whole world Xingyi Wanfenglin! 1⃣️ Climb high for a distant view The scenery of Wanfenglin is incredibly beautiful, you must, must buy a ticket for the scenic area's sightseeing bus!! Take the bus to the mountain top to overlook the panorama, with 5 parking spots and 2 viewing platforms. From the sky, the view of the Bagua fields and the Fu character fields is truly beautiful and stunning! The mountains of varying heights and distances, surrounded by lush green rice fields, are like something out of a fairy tale, very soothing to the heart! 2⃣️ Traditional villages The entire scenic area consists of three Buyi villages, among which Shang Nahui and Zhong Nahui villages are mostly local residences, while Xia Nahui village is more developed, with restaurants, homestays, or cafes mostly located here. But the overall commercial atmosphere is not strong, the local customs are simple, and the prices are not high. So, you must come early, my friends! In two years, once the high-speed rail is connected, the experience will probably be discounted. 3⃣️ Cycling through the fields Ride a small electric scooter or bicycle, weaving through the countryside fields surrounded by karst topography, with a gentle breeze and the scent of rice, the lush greenery fills your view, time slows down, and it's extremely comfortable! 4⃣️ Catching fish in the rice fields There's a place on the right side of the archway in Xia Nahui village, where we went, located at the police office of Shang Nahui village in Wanfenglin Sub-district Office Fishing costs 30 yuan per person, and if you catch any, it's 30 yuan per jin to take home The kids next door caught one after another, while we ended up empty-handed by nightfall, but it's all about the experience 5⃣️ Long-term relaxation Due to time constraints, we only played for two days this time, but the whole family has unanimously decided to come back for a longer stay next time to deeply experience the area. Drinking tea, daydreaming, taking walks, this place will definitely be the perfect choice to relax and recharge About the cost Wanfenglin only charges for the panoramic view from the mountain, while visiting the villages below is completely free. The recent ticket price for the scenic area is half off at 35 yuan, with free admission for seniors over 60 and children under 14 (ID required). Electric carts cost 50 yuan per person (full price for those over 1.2 meters). The electric carts operate like public buses, we rode and stopped along the way, playing for almost 3 hours, with few people and virtually no queues, and the organization was very orderly, definitely deserving of praise About the weather The temperature here is not high but the UV rays are strong (after all, it's on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau), and the weather forecast is completely inaccurate, with rain and sunshine alternating. So there's no need to worry too much about the weather affecting your plans. It's advised to always bring rain gear, as Wanfenglin after the rain has a different kind of charm
