Guizhou Travel|The Karst Secret Realm Hidden in Southwest Guizhou

Xingyi, this karst secret realm deeply hidden in Southwest Guizhou, always amazes every visitor with the marvelous craftsmanship of nature and the ingenious combination of human culture. This time revisiting Xingyi, I completed a physical and mental journey weaving through natural grandeur and fairy-tale wonder: 🌟 Wanfenglin: A Majestic Natural Scroll The moment I entered the scenic area, the view instantly made me understand why Xu Xiake once exclaimed, "There are so many mountains in the world, but only here do peaks form a forest": The sightseeing bus slowly drove along the mountain road at the mid-slope. Each viewing platform offered a different scene, especially the "Bagua Field" viewing platform, where the sight was breathtaking: thousands of conical peaks arranged like an army stretching to the horizon, at the foot of the mountains were Buyi ethnic villages and neatly arranged rice fields, and the winding Nahui River flowed like a silver ribbon. When morning mist lingered, it looked like a huge ink painting, stunningly beautiful and breathtaking. 🌟 Maling River Canyon: A Magical World of Waterfalls and Rainbows Besides Wanfenglin, the Maling River Canyon, known as "the most beautiful scar on Earth," is also worth visiting. Upon entering the canyon, I was immediately overwhelmed by its grandeur: towering cliffs on both sides, countless waterfalls plunging from cliffs hundreds of meters high, the roar of water, and mist everywhere. Walking along the plank road, we passed many waterfalls one after another. The Huanglong Waterfall struck our sight like a water curtain cave; the Pearl Waterfall splashed water droplets like billions of pearls sparkling under the sunlight. Finally, we reached the Wanma Benteng viewing platform, arguably the most spectacular spot in the canyon. Standing on the platform, dozens of waterfalls fell side by side, roaring like thunder with majestic momentum. Even more fortunate, sunlight passing through the mist formed rainbows, dreamy and magical. 🏨 Hotel: Mushroom Wild Luxury Hotel: A Dreamlike Experience in a Fairy Tale World Xingyi has many boutique homestays. Besides Sengushanju Homestay, the Mushroom Wild Luxury Hotel is also one of them. Waking up in the morning to the sounds of the Wu language and the fragrance of flowers, opening the window reveals cute mushroom-shaped houses and distant rolling peaks. Besides the mushroom hotel, the scenic area also includes the Sunshine Dream Kingdom Amusement Park, the Heart-shaped Flower Sea, the Love Corridor, and other attractions. We rode the mushroom Ferris wheel, overlooking the entire scenic area from above. The colorful mushroom houses dotted among the greenery looked like a fairy tale world. The Xingyi trip inspires awe with the grandeur of Wanfenglin, amazes with the thrilling power of Maling River Canyon, and rekindles innocence and fantasy in the Mushroom Town. The charm of this land lies not only in its natural scenery but also in its deep integration with the local Buyi culture. From the pastoral life in Nahui Village to the intangible cultural heritage of Bayin singing and wax dyeing techniques, everywhere you can feel the wisdom of the people living in harmony with nature on this land.
