I initially thought traveling with kids would be inconvenient, but upon arriving in Luodian, Guizhou, I discovered it's the perfect destination for family trips! Spring in Guizhou offers pleasant temperatures averaging 20°C, with stunning landscapes and rich ethnic minority culture. The kids had a blast, and I fell in love with this land too🧒. Luodian's Daxiaojing is like a forgotten gem, free from commercial hustle yet rivaling the beauty of "Xiaoqikong" with its pristine natural scenery🌳. It's affordable and a photographer's dream📷. The activities offer great value: 🚣🏻‍♂️Large Bamboo Raft: Just 30 RMB for a water adventure. 🚣🏻‍♂️Xiangshui Cave Bamboo Raft: Only 10 RMB for a unique water experience. 🚣Paddleboarding: 60 RMB per board, including exploring natural caves (see image 3) for stunning photos.

Sisters! Take my advice - don't be fooled by Guizhou's "secret places"! We agreed to take the kids on a lie-down trip, but it almost turned into a wilderness survival trip... (but it smelled so good) 🔥Pit 1: The promised "worry-free parent-child tour" almost made me go crazy! The tour guide said it only takes 2 hours to get from Guiyang Amber Hotel to Huangguoshu, but it turned out to be extremely congested during the May Day holiday! My 4-year-old kid was crying in trio in the back seat, and I almost tore the seat belt...but! When we saw the mist from Huangguoshu Waterfall coming towards us, the whole family automatically turned off the noise! Standing under the Silver Chain Falling Pond Waterfall, the baby suddenly shouted: "Mom, is this the Water Curtain Cave of Sun Wukong?" (The old mother burst into tears, who knows 😭) ✅Tips to avoid pitfalls: When traveling with a tour group, you must choose a tour group that includes airport transfers! The swimming pool of Guiyang Amber Hotel saved my life - I threw my baby in there for half an hour at night and he turned into an angel baby in seconds👼 🔥Pit 2: Afternoon tea in the cave is romantic? It’s all mother’s blood and tears! The entrance to the cave for exploring the center of the earth looks like a rabbit hole, and the two kids were scared to tears after entering! The coach said "rappel 5 meters easily", I almost performed a vertical fall while holding my baby who was shaking like a sieve 😱 But! When the flashlight illuminated the trilobite fossil wall, the coach took out hot cocoa and cave-baked sweet potatoes - the human cub suddenly switched to archaeologist mode, holding up the stone and insisting that it was "dinosaur poop" 💩 ✅Life-saving guide: Let your child wear non-slip river trekking shoes! Remember to bring a golden reflector when taking photos in the cave. The Milky Way cave ceiling captured by the photographer is so stunning that it makes you want to cry😍 🔥Pit 3: Sour Soup Fish almost turned into "Family Splatoon"! While paddling a bamboo raft to watch the floating market at Xiaojing and Dajing in Luodian, an old lady on the shore enthusiastically gave me a bowl of red sour soup... The moment I drank it, my whole family's facial expressions collapsed! but! I met a grandma selling dragon fruit glutinous rice balls on the corner. 5 dollars saved the world! Key point 👉 Be sure to choose the evening session for Tiankeng paddle boarding! The emerald green river water was dyed into dragon fruit color by the sunset, and my kid announced on the spot that he wanted to be a "rowing pirate"🏴‍☠️ ✅ Foodie defense line: carry children’s probiotics with you! The starry sky theme meal at the Light Years Away Hotel is amazing. The steak is cut into the shape of a little astronaut, and the picky eater will take the initiative to clean the plate🪐 💥Shocking Easter Eggs: There are 789 steps to climb to the China Sky Eye Observation Deck! Just when I was about to curse, the staff took out the "climb the stairs to exchange for meteorites" activity - the kids held real space meteorite fragments and jumped down the mountain ✨ The braised pork feet in Qingyan Ancient Town are ridiculously delicious! Hide in the corner of the century-old city wall and eat it, it’s 100 times more delicious than the Internet celebrity restaurant! To be honest, after this trip my kids will be able to recite "Suspected Milky Way Falling from the Sky", it's worth it! Finally, a roaring reminder: you must wear wading shoes when going to the big and small wells! The pebbles at the bottom of the river are so slippery that you can dance a waltz, and the splash my husband made when he fell was higher than the splash of the bamboo raft... (The video has been saved in the black history collection 🤫) Sisters, hurry up! Next article reveals the secret 👉 30 minutes of losing a baby in a karst tiankeng... (The ending is so heartwarming!)

FAST, acronym for Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope. It is the largest telescope in the world, with a diameter of 500 meters. It is one of the modern structures that is the pride of China. The tickets are affordable and entry is free for kids less than 1.2 meters. There’s a lot to learn about space technology and communication from the exhibition halls there. It’s quite an educational opportunity for science enthusiasts. Unfortunately when going to see the actual telescope, it’s not allowed to take any electronic devices (due to fears of these devices interfering with the signals), so they provide lockers to keep all devices. However, everyone needs a photo-op when visiting such places to make memories and what not, so when you get to the viewing deck, there are designated photographers who’ll take photos for a small fee (very affordable) Overall, it was an amazing experience. Loved it! #fast #gthatguy1 #qiannan #travel #telescope #passionpassport

Dian-Qian Road Trip (32) "China's Eye" - Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) March 31 (Thursday) Qianxinan - Qiannan Weather: light rain turning cloudy, 8-14°C; today's highest altitude 1321 meters. Yesterday, we successfully completed our planned tasks at Jilong Fort and are sharing two additional photos (Photos 1 and 2). Today’s drive covers over 300 kilometers. It was drizzling when we set off in the morning, the rain gradually stopped and turned cloudy, and by 11:30 AM we entered Qiannan Prefecture. Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture was once an important route of the Southern Maritime Silk Road and an ancient path connecting central Guizhou to Sichuan, Guangxi, Hunan, and Yunnan. Around 2 PM, we arrived at "China's Eye" (Photo 3). "China's Eye" refers to the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), located in Kedu Town, Pingtang County, Qiannan Prefecture. It is a major national scientific infrastructure project under the 11th Five-Year Plan, construction began in March 2011, completed and trial-run in September 2016, and officially opened in January 2020. To reduce electronic signal interference with the telescope, visitors are not allowed to bring mobile phones, digital cameras (video cameras), smart wristbands, walkie-talkies, or any electronic imaging devices into the "China's Eye" area. The scenic area offers film cameras for rent. After depositing all personal electronic devices, we took a shuttle bus. The bus ride took about 15 minutes to reach "China's Eye," which is located deep in the mountain valley. Then we climbed 789 steps (equivalent to a 50-story building) to finally reach the observation deck. The 500-meter aperture spherical radio telescope’s reflector surface is equivalent to 30 football fields, with sensitivity more than 2.5 times that of the world’s second-largest telescope, greatly expanding human vision to explore the origin and evolution of the universe. Seeing the huge "China's Eye" up close was breathtaking, and the rapid progress of Chinese science and technology is a source of pride. I took photos with a simple film camera specially purchased for this purpose to keep as a memento (Photo 4 to be developed later). There are also some astronomy science and culture exhibition and experience projects in the scenic area, but due to time constraints, we did not participate (Photo 5). In the evening, after passing the Pingtang Grand Bridge, we arrived at the hotel for the night. Pingtang Grand Bridge (Photo 6) is an important part of the Qiannan S62 Yuan’an Expressway, located above the Caodu River Grand Canyon. Construction started in April 2016 and it opened to traffic in December 2019. The bridge is a three-tower cable-stayed bridge with ultra-high towers, each about 300 meters tall, 2135 meters long, and has four lanes for two-way traffic (Photos 7-8). On one side of the bridge, a viewing service area and a hotel were specially built, where we are staying tonight (Photo 9). Tomorrow we will continue touring in Qiannan Prefecture.

⭕ Unforgettable experience! After visiting Guizhou three times, I finally discovered this stunning hidden gem! This route is perfect for family trips—cave exploration, paddleboarding 🛶 with fewer crowds and breathtaking scenery! 🌠 Visit the Tianyan Observatory to marvel at this national treasure and take a memorable photo with the Chinese Sky Eye 💎 Paddleboarding in Huanglong Cave, a super cool 'underground maze'; walking through the Water Curtain Cave at Huangguoshu Waterfall to feel the powerful water flow… Even after returning home, my kid keeps talking about it. Missing out on this amazing destination would truly break my heart 😭. - 🌿 Sharing our itinerary: D1️⃣: Arrival from various cities - pick-up - stay in Guiyang 🔹 As soon as we landed, the cool breeze of Guiyang greeted us 🍃. We visited Qianling Mountain Park to see monkeys and tigers, then explored the night market for local delicacies: sour soup fish, Changwang noodles, Siwawa… My kid loved the food too 😋. D2️⃣: Guiyang - Huangguoshu Waterfall - stay in Anshun 🔹 Playing in the water at the base of Huangguoshu Waterfall was so refreshing! You can even touch the waterfall and walk through the 'Water Curtain Cave,' fulfilling my son's dream of being the Monkey King. The second half of Tianxing Bridge was quieter, perfect for relaxing. D3️⃣: Anshun - Canyon Viewing Bridge Camp - Xunlong Cave Exploration - stay in Huaxi 🔹 Enjoying tea and taking stunning photos at the canyon camp with a cool breeze ☕️. 🔹 Highlight of Guizhou: cave exploration 🧗. The karst landscape was awe-inspiring and truly cool. My kid was thrilled to complete the 'Dragon Quest' with a headlamp and professional guide—exciting and unique! D4️⃣: Huaxi - Chinese Sky Eye - stay in Huaxi 🔹 To see the full view of the Sky Eye, you need to climb 789 steps to the Pingtang Tianyan Observatory 🔭. The Sky Eye is massive and impressive! Note: No electronic devices are allowed; storage lockers are available at the ticket checkpoint. D5️⃣: Huaxi - 👻 Bridge - Rice Field Café - stay in Huaxi 🔹 Playing water games, catching fish, and experiencing waterfall rappelling in the creek. Climbing down the rocks to reach the base of the waterfall was incredibly rewarding! 🔹 After pottery-making, we enjoyed a latte at the Rice Field Café ☕ while admiring the golden fields—perfect for Instagram-worthy photos. D6️⃣: Huaxi - Huanglong Cave Paddleboarding - return to Guiyang 🔹 Paddleboarding is less strenuous than cave exploration. The stalactites hanging above are close to the water surface, and the reflections on the rock walls sway with the waves. It's super dreamy, like stepping into the world of 'Avatar.' · ⭕ Why choose us? ✔ In-depth exploration of popular attractions ✔ Licensed travel agency with signed contracts for security ✔ High-end customized routes with professional guides ✔ Private transportation with carefully selected vehicles for an immersive travel experience - 👉【Private Car Tours】 【Customized Tours】 【Private Groups】 are all available~ Want to get the same itinerary?

Pushing open the carved wooden window of the guesthouse, a sea of lights flows down the mountain ridges, and the silhouettes of stilted houses undulate like dragon spines in the twilight—this isn’t a Miyazaki fantasy but the everyday magic of Xijiang's Thousand Household Miao Village. As the high-speed train winds through the layered peaks of Southeast Guizhou, I feel like I’ve stepped into a real-life *Spirited Away*: emerald streams of Libo cascade over ancient Qing Dynasty bridges, the mist of Huangguoshu Falls thunders against my face, and Pingtang’s "Sky Bridge" flickers in and out of the sea of clouds. At 25°C in summer, this land unfolds like an ink-washed scroll, painting an accessible Eastern fantasy epic. --- **1. Xijiang Thousand Household Miao Village: The Myth of a Thousand Lights** **Time Warps in a Stilted House Maze** At 6 a.m., the village is still asleep, with mist curling around 1,300 stilted houses. Climbing the bluestone path of **Yedong Village**, fingertips tracing cracks in the fir wood pillars—these mortise-and-tenon structures hold the Miao people’s wisdom of "borrowing the mountain without occupying the land." Halfway up, the batik workshop in **Gage Ancient Alley** unfurls indigo cloth: an elder woman dips her copper knife into molten wax to draw the Butterfly Mother totem, and as the white fabric sinks into the dye vat, a deep blue like the night sky spreads—a metaphor for the Miao village emerging from history. **The Magic Hour of a Thousand Lights** As twilight spills over the Wind-and-Rain Bridge, the viewing deck of **Huakai Banxia Guesthouse** becomes a secret vantage point. Swinging from a century-old camphor tree, I watch lights like fallen stars fill the valley, the stilted houses’ outlines shimmering like liquid gold foil. Even better than the view? Private experiences: don a Miao silver headdress, capture silhouettes against the guesthouse’s "Sky Mirror," and spin to the chime of silver bells, with an ocean of lights stretching to the horizon. **A Spicy-Sour Culinary Adventure** Deep in the alleys, **Anong Miao Family’s** long-table feast is in full swing: sour fish soup bubbles in clay pots, its tangy aroma from fermented rice-paddy fish and wild tomatoes hitting the nose; hand-pounded sticky rice cakes, dusted with soybean flour, stretch like taffy, paired with sweet berry wine—a clash of fire and silk on the tongue. The owner grins: "Our sour soup ferments for 365 days. Time is the best chef." --- **2. Libo’s Small Seven Arches: A Watercolor Fairy Tale** **Jade Dreams Under Seven Arches** At dawn, the ancient bridge’s reflection embeds like jade in the water. Descending the **68-Step Waterfall**, stepping stones lead through a fairy-tale forest—icy streams lick at bare feet, moss carpets the rocks. But **Wolong Pond** steals the show: blue-green water, a liquid gem, spills over a crescent dam, and from a drone’s view, karst peaks cradle the pool like a peacock’s lost feather. **Glass Illusions of Yuanyang Lake** Rent a transparent kayak and paddle into the lake’s heart, where sunlight turns the water into a floating emerald universe. Ashore, try **Libo sour pork**: wild boar fermented with glutinous rice, its tangy punch softened by bamboo fungus soup—so fresh it tingles the scalp. --- **3. Pingtang: Where Earth Meets Cosmos** **FAST’s Cosmic Whispers** Under the planetarium dome at the **Astronomy Experience Hall**, stars swirl overhead. Touching a life-size model of FAST’s feed cabin, I marvel at this 500-meter "sky wok" catching pulses from 13.7 billion light-years away. The real awe? Locking away electronics at the viewing deck, staring bare-eyed at humanity’s giant pupil gazing into the void, hearing my heartbeat sync with the universe. **Cliffside Hotel’s Light Play** At **Sky Bridge Jiayu Hotel**, the world’s tallest concrete bridge tower frames your window. At dusk, the sunset gilds Pingtang Bridge, while clouds pour through the gorge like spilled milk. Sip a "Nebula Cocktail"—blue curacao swirling like a galaxy—mirroring the real stars outside. --- **4. Huangguoshu Falls: A Misty Baptism** **Dawn Symphony of Water** At daybreak, **Doupotang** (where *Journey to the West*’s end credits filmed) lies empty. Water like silk sheets over travertine terraces, egrets skimming the surface. By **Tianxing Bridge**, the Silver Chain Waterfall erupts from stone, its spray shattering into diamond dust. By 9 a.m., I’ve had three wonders to myself. **Architectural Poetry: Duobei Cloud Lodge** Three minutes from the falls, **Duobei Cloud Lodge** molds Guizhou’s landscape into design: micro-cement walls cascade like water, hollow bricks cast light chessboards. Open the floor-to-ceiling window in the "South Branch·Bamboo Shadow" room, and the falls’ roar rides the mountain wind inside. Sip complimentary **Duobei Maojian tea**—its clarity like Tianxing’s streams, unfurling like spring willow shoots in your cup. --- **【6-Day Itinerary】** **Transport Keys** - High-speed rail: Guangzhou South → Guiyang North (3.5h, ~¥349), then scenic shuttles - Transfers: - Guiyang North → Xijiang Miao Village (2.5h) - Libo Station → Small Seven Arches East Gate (30min) **Pro Tips** - Beat crowds: Enter Huangguoshu by 7 a.m.; tour Small Seven Arches east-to-west - Gear: Polarizing filter for water reflections, wide lens for falls - Crafts: Try batik at Gage Alley studios (mail-order available) --- At midnight on the village viewing deck, a silversmith hammers Miao silver under moonlight. Sparks dissolve into the river of lights, while distant bars echo with laughter. Here, **Guizhou’s magic lies in layered time**—FAST scans starlight from 13.7 billion years ago, stilted houses simmer sour soup over coals, and teens in Crocs film waterfall mist for TikTok. As the train leaves the mountains, the wind whispers: **"The so-called fairyland is just the mortal world dancing with all things."** > My bag smells of indigo and medicinal herbs, > The wax-carved butterfly poised to take flight. > The falls’ roar fades, > But stars and lanterns > Never dim in memory. --- **6-Day Itinerary Snapshot** ``` D1 Guiyang → Xijiang Miao Village (stay: Huakai Banxia) D2 Village sunrise + batik → Libo Small Seven Arches (stay: Mengliu Town) D3 Full Small Seven Arches + Yuanyang Lake → Pingtang (stay: Sky Bridge Hotel) D4 FAST + Astronomy Hall → Huangguoshu (stay: Duobei Cloud Lodge) D5 Huangguoshu’s three falls → Guiyang D6 Qianling Park / Departure ``` *Note: Follows Trip.com Community Guidelines.

Guizhou: A magical summer at 23℃, 7 days to experience an exclusive and sophisticated vibe! While Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen are collectively "steaming in saunas," Guizhou breaks through with a refreshing 23℃, becoming the hottest summer getaway dark horse of 2025! Here, you’ll find not only the grandeur of Huangguoshu Waterfall and the ethereal Fanjing Mountain but also the thrill of cliffside coffee and the mystery of cave concerts. As a travel blogger who just completed an in-depth exploration, I bring you exclusive routes and tips to avoid pitfalls, teaching you how to enjoy Guizhou with just 1,800 RMB per person and unlock hidden experiences even locals don’t know about! 1. Why is Guizhou the ultimate summer retreat? The data speaks: an average summer temperature of 23℃, forest coverage of 62.8%, excellent air quality rate of 99.4%, and selected as one of "China’s Best Summer Tourism Cities" for five consecutive years. It’s also a dense cluster of "world-class heritage" sites—Huangguoshu Waterfall Group, Libo Karst, Fanjing Mountain, Hailongtun—so dense that even Switzerland calls it "intense competition." New in 2025: The Guizhou Culture and Tourism Bureau launched the "Zhi Zhi Chuan Fei 2.0" route, connecting 12 special routes that link six major IPs known as "Dinner at Huang, Xiao, Xi" (Huangguoshu, Xiaoqikong, Xijiang Miao Village, Chishui Danxia, Wanfenglin, Fanjing Mountain). It also incorporates new experiences like the Anshun Cave Concert and Libo High-altitude Glass Drift. Beijing visitor Li Wei exclaimed, "I used to think Guizhou was only for senior tours, but now it’s a young adventurer’s paradise!" 2. 7 days and 6 nights cool itinerary: from waterfalls to the clouds Day 1: Guiyang · A collision of fireworks and art • Night shoot at Jiaxiu Tower: This Ming Dynasty building reflected in the Nanming River looks like an ink painting. At 8 PM, the lights come on. Wear a new-style Chinese qipao for photos and get over a hundred likes on social media. • Qingyun Market food: For 30 RMB, try silk rolls, tofu balls, and sour soup beef. Recommended is "Dan’s Crispy Duck," freshly fried and sprinkled with Sichuan pepper powder, crispy to the bone. • Stay in a century-old residence: "Wenfan Zhuangyuan Courtyard" in Yunyan District includes three meals plus afternoon tea. In this quaint siheyuan, the housekeeper teaches you how to make a hand bag with indigo-dyed cloth. Day 2: Huangguoshu · Multiple ways to enjoy the waterfall • Water Curtain Cave crossing: During the rainy season, the waterfall reaches peak flow. Wear a raincoat to cross; the mist is refreshing. Bring a waterproof phone case to capture "ethereal photos." • Light hike at Doupotang: Avoid the 10 AM tour groups, enter through the side gate to enjoy the quiet filming location of "Journey to the West." You can step into the shallow water under the waterfall. • Overnight at a scenic area guesthouse: "Craftsman’s Lodge · Reading Mountain" has an infinity pool facing the Baling River Bridge. Soak in the pool at dusk to watch the sunset. At 600 RMB per person, it feels like a "mini Bali." Day 3: Libo · The Ultimate Edition of The Wizard of Oz in the Green Wilderness • Early morning shoot at Xiaoqikong: Enter the park at 6 AM. The mist-covered Seven-Arched Bridge looks like a fairyland. Wearing a white dress for photos instantly turns you into the heroine of "The Wizard of Oz." • Mandarin Duck Lake boating: Paddle a transparent boat through the water maze. Sunlight penetrates the lake like Pandora’s planet. Bring bread to feed the wild fish. • Maolan Karst exploration: Hike the "Funnel Forest" trail with a local guide, pass through primitive caves, and picnic under the natural bridge. 90% fewer people. Day 4: Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village · Silver jewelry and long-table feast • Miao costume makeover: Avoid the "assembly line photography" at the viewing platform. Go to "Gage Ancient Alley" to find intangible cultural heritage inheritors for custom hand-embroidered Miao costumes. Rental is 80 RMB/day. • Long-table feast experience: Join the "Twelve Door-blocking Wines" at noon. Enjoy sour soup fish and drum-stored meat to your fill. Remember to sing mountain songs to get in! • Night stargazing at the Miao village: Stay at "Xijiang Xiangsu Boutique Hotel." Lie on the terrace recliner to watch thousands of lights. Less crowded and free compared to the viewing platform. 3. Insider tips locals know to avoid pitfalls 1. Transportation: From Guiyang Longdongbao Airport to downtown, take Metro Line 2 to save 30 RMB compared to taxis; book scenic area shuttle buses in advance via the "Guizhou Haoxing" WeChat official account. 2. Tickets: Book Huangguoshu Waterfall tickets 3 days in advance on "One Code Travel Guizhou," student ID gets half price; Xijiang Miao Village tickets include 4 sightseeing bus rides, don’t buy duplicates. 3. Food: For sour soup fish, choose "Lianghuanzhai," a 30-year-old shop using red sour soup for authenticity; don’t eat silk rolls in scenic areas, at Qingyun Market "Liu Guangmen Aunt Mao’s" place offers 12 wrappers for 10 RMB. 4. Photography: The ancient bridge at Xiaoqikong is least crowded between 6-7 AM; Jiaxiu Tower’s lighting at 8 PM is best for photos; rent Miao costumes at the "Gage Ancient Alley" intangible heritage shop to avoid overpriced scenic area photography. 4. Why you must visit Guizhou in 2025? This is not only a summer paradise but also a perfect blend of culture and nature. You can listen to the universe 13.7 billion light-years away at the "China Sky Eye," enjoy a rock concert in Anshun caves, and scream to release stress on the Libo high-altitude glass drift. Guizhou’s summer is a refreshing 23℃, 100 kinds of novel experiences, and the best time for you to connect with nature and yourself. This summer, don’t squeeze into crowded beaches. Come to Guizhou to unlock a cool and sophisticated trip! Remember to bring a good mood and an empty photo album because the scenery here will make your memory explode!

Nestled in the mountains of Guizhou, the world's largest 500-meter aperture spherical radio telescope, the "China Sky Eye" (FAST), gazes at the starry river like a silver giant eye. Beneath it, the "Astronomy Town" Kedu Town opens an epic adventure intertwining the Earth's core and deep space for visitors! **🌟 Explore the "Great National Treasure"** Gaze up at FAST up close and feel humanity's ambition to explore billions of light-years; visit the Nan Rendong Memorial Hall to hear the moving story of the "Father of the Sky Eye" and his 22 years of site selection and construction; in the Astronomy Experience Hall, travel through black holes, decode pulsar signals, and operate models to unveil the mysteries of the universe. **🚀 Star Cave Earth Core Encounter** Delve into the karst secret realm and challenge the rare "sinkhole rock climbing" in China!

Limited to 2,000 visitors daily until September 1st, quickly lock in the magical coordinates of "Astronomy Town." **🌠 Direct Itinerary**: 2-hour high-speed train from Guiyang to Pingtang Station, with seamless shuttle bus connection to the scenic area. ****— On this journey, not even gravity can stop you from rushing beyond light-years!

Guizhou Adventure: Complete Guide to Star Cave Exploration, Unlocking Cooler Experiences Than Just Check-ins Spending summer vacation alone and want to try something "out of the ordinary"? The Star Cave adventure in Guizhou Astronomical Town is definitely worth it! This cave exploration adventure is more thrilling than visiting popular spots, personally tested to be fun and stress-relieving. Here’s an exclusive guide for solo female travelers— 1. Must-Read Before Exploring: Preparation - No worries about gear: The scenic area provides a full set of professional equipment, including anti-slip cave suits, safety helmets with lights, gloves, and anti-slip shoes available for purchase on-site (35 RMB/pair, great value). Just wear quick-dry, close-fitting clothes; it’s a bit damp inside the cave but dries quickly afterward. - **Solo-friendly**: No need to worry about loneliness! The instructor is handsome and great at creating a lively atmosphere. Most companions are girls of similar age, chatting and laughing all the way, quickly becoming friends. Our group of six felt like a temporary “adventure squad.” - Booking tips: During peak season (July-August), book 1–3 days in advance. The cave stays cool at about 18°C, and the instructor provides lighting suitable for photography. Staying at a guesthouse in Astronomical Town offers free shuttle service, saving transportation hassle. 2. 3-Hour Cave Exploration: Throw Your Stress Into the Cave 1. First Cave Experience: Overwhelmed by Billion-Year Scenery Just after squeezing through the narrow cave entrance, the moment the headlamp swept over the rock walls, I was amazed—the stalactites looked like inverted crystal curtains, and the “stone waterfall” carved by water glowed faintly. The instructor said these formations took billions of years to grow. Touching the deep-sea fossils embedded in the rock crevices felt icy cold, like communicating with ancient times, instantly making me feel so small. 2. Thrilling Challenge: How Exciting Is the Via Ferrata Rock Climbing? The most anticipated via ferrata section made my legs weak standing at the cliff edge at first. The instructor shouted, “Hold the rock points tight, keep your body close to the wall!” After biting my teeth and taking the first step, climbing became smoother. Looking down at the cave floor, the wind brushed past my ears, blowing away all worries. After descending, I high-fived the new friends I made, feeling a huge sense of accomplishment. 3. Practical Tips for Solo Female Travelers - Cost details: 398 RMB per person, including equipment, instructor, full guidance, and shuttle service, with no hidden fees—affordable for students too. - Safety details: Safety ropes are used throughout, and the instructor repeatedly checks the gear. Even those afraid of heights can participate (moderate height with protective measures). - Photo tips: Dim the headlamp a bit to capture better shots of the rock walls. Having fellow female travelers help take photos of climbing moments is much more meaningful than selfies. - Itinerary pairing: Visit the China Sky Eye in the morning to see the “Silver Sinkhole” receiving cosmic signals, then explore the cave in the afternoon. A day of “sky and earth” adventure so fulfilling you won’t want to use your phone. Coming here alone means no need to adjust to anyone else’s pace or worry about how photos turn out—just follow your body’s feeling and keep climbing forward. These moments of challenging yourself and communicating with nature are what make travel truly cool!

Driving through southern Guizhou, the rolling mountains resemble ocean waves. The winding mountain roads snake through the folds of the karst landscape, with the lingering greenery of early autumn stubbornly coloring every crevice. As we round the final ridge, the Pingtang Kedu Astronomical Town suddenly comes into view—a cluster of sleek silver-white buildings resembling a starship docked in an emerald sea, silently guarding the giant human eye gazing into the cosmos 20 kilometers away: China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST). When the National Astronomical Observatories launched the FAST project in 1994, finding a natural depression large enough to hold 30 football fields was the primary challenge. Scientists scanned southwestern China using remote sensing technology, meticulously screening over 400 karst depressions. When they finally stepped into the Dawodang depression in Pingtang County, all conditions miraculously aligned: the curvature of the depression perfectly matched the telescope's spherical cap, with no towns within 5 kilometers and only one small city within 25 kilometers, offering radio silence as pristine as freshly fallen snow. This ancient depression, dormant for millions of years, was thus entrusted with the mission of exploring the universe. In 2016, 4,450 reflective panels were assembled here into a 500-meter-diameter silver mirror. By its national acceptance in 2020, its sensitivity had become 2.5 times that of the world's second-largest radio telescope, like a "cosmic radio" anchored in the Guizhou mountains, day and night capturing whispers from billions of light-years away. Kedu Town, once an obscure border town, has been reborn thanks to FAST, transforming into a dreamlike astronomical hub. Today, its streets bear names like "Chang'e Road" and "Zhang Heng Road," hotels are themed after stars, and even streetlights are adorned with constellation patterns. The International Astronomical Experience Center is the first stop on this journey. In the entrance hall, a statue of Qu Yuan gazing skyward stands beneath a star map, his ancient poem "Heavenly Questions" echoing under the dome's glow. Inside the exhibition hall, the walls become a 360-degree digital starry sky, with nebulae, constellations, and meteorites slowly rotating against a deep blue backdrop. The most captivating exhibit is the 1:100 scale model of FAST, where steel cables interlace with spiderweb-like precision, and simulated radio signals surge from the "dish." Here, visitors can almost touch the pulse of the stars. In the VR observation station, guests can simulate operating FAST to receive pulsar signals, experiencing the real-life monitoring work of scientists—no lectures, just the resonance of technology and imagination. The journey to the observation deck feels like a pilgrimage. All electronic devices must be checked at security, including smartwatches and wireless earbuds. After a half-hour shuttle ride through the mountains, visitors must climb 789 steps to reach the deck—perhaps symbolizing humanity's relentless ascent in cosmic exploration. At the summit, breath catches. Nestled among the mountains lies a giant human eye staring into the void. The first glimpse is visually staggering. The massive parabolic dish, composed of thousands of triangular aluminum panels, glows softly under the clear sunlight of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, like a pool of silver liquid or a colossal pupil embedded in the earth, intently gazing at the heavens. Clouds drift across the sky, casting shifting light and shadow on the reflector, as if the "eye" is blinking in silent conversation with the sky. Imagine, in the dead of night, this giant eye fully awakens, turning its attention to the boundless cosmos, listening to the rhythmic heartbeat of pulsars, the sighs of distant galaxies being born or dying, and capturing faint, almost imperceptible "greetings" from potential cosmic neighbors. On the return trip, I suddenly thought of the sci-fi novel *The Three-Body Problem*. The Red Coast Base described in the book bears striking similarities to the FAST site. Yet, the real-life "Eye of Heaven" searches for extraterrestrial traces with even greater sensitivity. I wonder: if we ever receive a signal from an alien civilization, should we respond eagerly or heed the novel's warning to "not answer"? Perhaps this is the dilemma humanity will one day face. --- **Travel Guide to Pingtang's "Eye of Heaven"** **1.
