"Summit the Wanfenglin Mountains to Witness China's Most Majestic Karst Landscape!"

## Wanfenglin: A Grand Poem Written Upon the Earth "Countless peaks grace this world, yet only here do they form a forest." When Xu Xiake penned this praise over three centuries ago, he must have been as awestruck as we are today by the magnificent karst peaks before him. Wanfenglin, a natural wonder hidden in the Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of southwestern Guizhou, composes a silent yet monumental poem on earth with its over 20,000 uniquely shaped conical peaks. 【Best Time to Visit】 Wanfenglin is beautiful year-round, each season offering its own charm. In spring (March-May), rapeseed flowers transform the fields into golden oceans, with peaks floating like islands. Summer (June-August) brings emerald-green rice paddies, where peaks play hide-and-seek in the mist. During autumn harvest (September-October), golden rice waves create stunning contrasts with the gray-white peaks. Winter (November-February) drapes the landscape in morning fog, resembling an ink-wash scroll. Don't miss the Buyei ethnic "Flower Dancing Festival" on the 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month for unique cultural experiences. 【Transportation Guide】 ✈️ By Air: Xingyi Wanfenglin Airport offers over 20 routes including Beijing/Shanghai/Guangzhou/Shenzhen, just 30 minutes to the scenic area. 🚄 By HSR: Take Shanghai-Kunming HSR to Panzhou Station, then transfer to tourist shuttle (1.5hrs); or Nanning-Kunming HSR to Xingyi Station. 🚗 By Car: From Guiyang via Shanghai-Kunming Expressway to Qingxing Expressway (~4hrs); from Yunnan via Shantou-Kunming Expressway (~3hrs). 🚌 In-Site Transport: Eco-shuttles (mandatory) connect major viewpoints; rent bicycles to explore Buyei villages deeply. 【Top 5 Must-Do Experiences】 1.
