Xu Xiake didn’t deceive me—I found the enchanting pastoral scenery in Guizhou

Wanfenglin, a national 5A-level scenic area✨ Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake praised, “There are many mountain peaks in the world, but only here do peaks form a forest.” The karst peak forest is like a giant earth sculpture, hiding pastoral poetry and ethnic folk life🎨 2. Tickets and Transportation🚌 • Tickets: Peak season (March-November) 70 RMB/person, off-season (December-February) 60 RMB/person; sightseeing bus 20 RMB/person (Recommended❗ Efficiently connects viewing platforms, a blessing for the lazy~).

Self-drive or cycle into the heart of the peak forest, unlocking wild fun for free🌿 • Transportation: From Xingyi city center → direct bus line 2🚎 Taxi about 15 RMB; self-drive navigation to “Wanfenglin Visitor Center,” free parking on a first-come, first-served basis🅿️ From Xingyi Airport/Guiyang, self-drive or take high-speed rail + transfer shuttle, easy to reach🚄 3. Fun Ways to Play🎪 🔹 Lazy choice: Sightseeing bus panoramic tour Buy a ticket + sightseeing bus combo (about 110 RMB)🎫 Climb to the viewing platform to overlook the “rushing Wanfeng peaks,” your phone will heat up from all the photos📱 Must get off at the stops 【Jinxiu Pastoral】【Bagua Fields】【Fu Character Fields】to see the neat fields like a green carpet on earth, the Bagua Fields hiding “nature’s code,” and the Fu Character Fields full of homophonic puns🍀 🔹 Free and easy: Cycling/electric bike roaming Rent a bike for 30-60 RMB/day🚴 Start from General Peak Square, dive into the rapeseed flower sea in February-March (golden explosion💥 Photos will flood your social media!), pass by artistic spots like Huasheng Villa, enjoy coffee and shoot forest-style photos☕ End at Wanfo Temple, listen to Buddhist chants echoing through the peak forest, instantly clearing your mind🕊️ 🔹 Hiking challenge: Viewing Peak Trail/Ridge Trail A 6-7 km hiking route⛰️ Get up close to the texture of the peak forest, climb to the top to overlook the “earth bonsai,” listen to birdsong, and step on fallen leaves🍂 Nature lovers and challengers, just go for it!

Xingyi Food Delights🍜 • Egg Fried Rice Street: General Bridge Egg Fried Rice🔥 Only open at noon! Golden rice wrapped with special side dishes, so fragrant you’ll stomp your feet (remember to go early, or you’ll miss out😭) • Tree Tomato Private Kitchen: Great environment and taste🍅 Dishes look like artworks, may have queues during peak season, better to visit off-peak~ • Rice Flower Fish: Sour soup/fermented spicy style🐟 Fish raised on rice flowers, tender meat with no muddy taste, one bite and you’re hooked! • Sour Bamboo Shoot Beef Restaurant: The magical combo of sour bamboo shoots + beef🥩 Sour and spicy, a local secret eatery, a blind spot that won’t disappoint~ 6.

Best Time to Visit🌼 • February-March: Rapeseed flower season🌾 Tens of thousands of acres of golden fields + peak forest, a healing oil painting scene! • May-October: Rainy season makes the peak forest greener🌧️ Waterfalls are full; autumn colors the forests🍂 Comfortable temperatures, beautiful no matter how you shoot~ 8.
