Maling River is located in Xingyi City, a strategic point for Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou. It is 334 kilometers northeast of Guiyang and 321 kilometers west of Kunming. It originates from Baiguoling in the Wumeng Mountains. The upper reaches are called Qingshui River, and the middle reaches are called Maling River because of Mabie Dazhai and Malingzhai on both sides. Maling River has a slightly sad title - "the beautiful scar on the earth", which vividly describes the magnificence and steepness of Maling River. Maling River is more than 70 kilometers long, cutting a narrow and deep ground canyon in the plain. This structure is extremely rare in the world and is known as "the first seam in the world". The majestic and beautiful Maliang River Canyon National Scenic Spot is known as the "River of Thousands of Waterfalls" and "The Crack in the Sky and Earth".

The core wonder of the Sansheng Cave at Giant Mountain in Guizhou is a naturally formed 108-meter-high mountain with the profile of a giant, composed of Triassic limestone dating back 230 million years. Embedded in the rock crevices are fossils of deep-sea tubeworms forming what resemble "giant eyelashes." The cave unfolds a fantastical journey themed around "Three Lives": In the Realm of Life and Water, take a canoe through a 1.8-kilometer-long, deep blue river, where stalactite reflections resemble dancing apsaras from Dunhuang, schools of blind silver fish dart beneath the boat, and the rock walls emanate the fluorescence of millennia-old minerals; step into the Realm of Life and Light, a 30,000-square-meter domed hall where AI-powered light and shadow awaken with every step—stalactites bloom into holographic rhododendrons, a wave of the hand summons swarms of light-feathered insects from the apatite walls, and lasers project Cambrian ancient ocean constellations from the dome.Xingyi · 17.4 km from downtown

Xia Nahui Village is an ancient Buyi village nestled in the heart of Wanfenglin in Xingyi, Guizhou, with a history spanning several hundred years. Cone-shaped peaks surround it on all sides, and the Nahui River winds through the fields. Rice paddies, stone bridges, and green peaks complement each other, painting a classic pastoral picture of the Wanfenglin area. Every spring, the rapeseed flowers in the basin bloom in continuous stretches, with the golden sea of flowers set against the gray-white peaks, making it a signature view of spring in Xingyi. In summer and fall, it changes into heavy waves of rice, with the pastoral colors constantly shifting with the farming seasons. Ancient banyan trees are a landmark view in the village, with ages spanning hundreds of years, their branches and leaves spreading out like giant umbrellas. The square under the trees connects to bluestone-paved lanes, with Buyi dwellings featuring stone walls and stone roofs scattered on both sides.Xingyi · 13.6 km from downtown

It is surrounded by cone-shaped karst peaks, with the Nahui River winding through the fields in front of the village. Natural pastoral patterns, such as the Bagua fields, Horseshoe fields, and Sun and Moon fields, are scattered throughout this area. The landscape here changes with the farming seasons: every winter and spring, vast stretches of rapeseed flowers bloom at the foot of the peaks, with the golden sea of flowers set against the gray-green peaks, and you can take a small pastoral train to slowly travel through the flower fields; in summer, the paddy fields turn green with rolling waves of rice, and in the fall, the rice ears dye the fields golden. As a Buyi ethnic village, the old houses and ancient trees here complement each other, while traditional performances like Buyi Bayin sitting singing and folk lantern dances form the cultural backdrop of the village.Xingyi · 10.1 km from downtown
Wanfeng Lake Cruise

Wanfeng Lake Cruise

The Wanfeng Lake Cruise is a "waterborne karst feast" nestled at the junction of Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi provinces. Spanning over 200 square km of pristine waters—China's largest artificial lake in the southwest—it combines breathtaking lake-and-mountain scenery with the unique appeal of "visiting three provinces in a 1-day tour," making it an essential experience for unlocking the secrets of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi. With water clarity exceeding 2 meters and a surface area equivalent to 2 Erhai Lakes or 17 Hongfeng Lakes, this alpine lake offers poetic moments of "gliding through painted landscapes" while revealing traces of geological evolution spanning hundreds of millions of years. From family outings to photography enthusiasts, every visitor leaves with unforgettable mountain-and-water memories. The cruise route design connects the most spectacular views of Wanfeng Lake's core area, with different paths and durations to suit diverse requests. The classic route departs from the tourist pier, passing iconic attractions like Hongchun Waterborne Stone Forest, Little Three Gorges, and Gilong Castle in sequence. The 90–100 min journey unfolds like flipping through a 3D karst landscape album: Hongchun Waterborne Stone Forest features scattered conical peaks and jagged rock walls carved by ancient seawater, where travelers often spot fish darting through crystal-clear waters; Little Three Gorges presents sheer cliffs as if split by blades, with mountain breezes carrying earthy fragrances while the sounds of water and birdsong fill the air; Gilong Castle's European Gothic architecture contrasts poetically with emerald hills at the lake's center, creating a photogenic hotspot where many visitors request slower speeds to capture this "castle-meets-landscape" romance. Some routes also dock at Hongchun Pier, allowing travelers brief shore excursions to experience lakeside village life, blending "waterborne sightseeing + land exploration" into one seamless adventure. The diverse selection of boat types and onboard services enhances the quality of your cruise experience. The attraction offers various vessels including luxury cruises and painted pleasure boats, featuring spacious and comfortable interiors. Some boats even have observation decks for visitors to pause and take photos at any time. The distinction between speedboats and slow boats caters to different pacing preferences—speedboats prioritize efficient sightseeing for time-conscious travelers, while slow boats are ideal for leisurely relaxation, allowing guests to quietly admire the shimmering sunlight dancing on the lake's surface. Onboard staff provide insightful guides about the geological origins and folklore of scenic spots along the route, such as the formation of Hongchun Stone Forest or the history behind Jilong Castle, making the cultural significance behind these landscapes more accessible. During festive seasons, visitors can enjoy special activities like the "Explore Wanfeng Lake" event, featuring aquatic performances and even cross-province cultural experiences, adding a touch of humanistic warmth to the natural journey. Beyond the core sightseeing experience, the cruise can be combined with diverse activities to create a complete vacation setting. Thrill-seeking travelers can enjoy water sports like jet skiing, sailing boats, and kayaking for an adrenaline rush. Families with kids will love pairing the cruise with a visit to the Xingyi UNESCO Global Geopark Museum—discover the ancient history of these waters through Guizhou dinosaur fossils before boarding, then compare geological knowledge with real-life scenery during the cruise for immersive "scientific exploration + sightseeing." Photography enthusiasts especially favor evening departure time slots when the soft light creates perfect conditions—capture symmetrical reflections of Gilong Castle from the stern or use a drone to photograph the emerald wake trails for stunning shots. After the cruise, whether you check in at Gilong Castle Resort or savor fresh lake delicacies at nearby farmhouse restaurants, the joy of nature seamlessly blends into everyday life. From the morning mist to the shifting light of dusk, the charm of the Wanfeng Lake Cruise transforms with time. Boarding in the early morning reveals mountains faintly visible through the mist, like an ink-wash painting. At noon, sunlight reflects directly on the water, creating crystal-clear mirrored images of the peaks. As you return in the evening, the lakeshore lights gradually illuminate, blending with the sunset glow for a truly immersive atmosphere. Convenient transportation enhances the experience—direct shuttle services are available from Xingyi city or the Wanfeng Forest attraction, and some travel packages even include round-trip transfers and priority boarding to skip the queues. From the grandeur of karst peaks to the elegance of alpine lakes, from the romance of European-style castles to the depth of geological wonders, the Wanfeng Lake Cruise has long transcended being just a sightseeing activity. It's a floating geology classroom, a healing journey through nature, and a cultural bridge connecting Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi. Every voyage tells the ancient and vibrant stories of this land through its emerald waves and mountain ranges.Xingyi · 20.8 km from downtown

Although it's a refreshing scenic area, within a small area, there are deep canyons, steep cliffs, and waterfalls like Huanglong and Zhenzhu cascading down like silver ribbons falling from the sky. The mist splashes, and the water's impact cuts straight to the earth's core. The calcifications on the rock walls resemble the growth of Ganoderma lucidum. It's no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most beautiful scars on Earth. I suggest upgrading it to a 5A-level scenic area and highly recommend visiting it.

During summer vacation, I went there with my friends and their kids. We arrived early, so we found a terrace for dinner with a view of the water. There was a performance on the water in the evening. The natural scenery of mountains and water combined with the man-made architecture created a great atmosphere 👍 The only downside was that eating outdoors meant that mosquitoes were unavoidable at night, especially in a place like Guizhou with a relatively good ecological environment.

Transportation is inconvenient; you can only get back by car. The scenery along the way is nice, and you can take a boat with the elderly, but to be honest, the view of the lake from the road you drive in is more beautiful and spectacular than the view from the lake itself.

The scenery is truly stunning, and the crowds are incredibly rare. We arrived at 11:00 AM and left at 2:30 PM, and encountered fewer than three dozen tourists. There's virtually no service in the scenic area, and the fruit at the stalls is all modeled. The cable car has been closed for who knows how many centuries. The ticket price is 60 yuan, and the boat ride is 80 yuan. The value for money is truly poor. If you're looking for a less crowded and beautiful place, this is a good place. If you're looking for service and value, consider looking elsewhere.

It was a very unique experience. The service was excellent, so there was nothing to worry about. It's especially suitable for couples or children. I usually work in an office, and I felt a little tired after walking the whole way, but I was very happy.

We arrived at Wanfenglin in the afternoon and decided to visit the scenic area the next day. After parking, we went straight to a shop renting electric scooters. We rented a small tricycle and a two-wheeler for 80 yuan. The price seemed negotiable. I suggest not renting from people who approach you in the parking lot (one guy came up to us offering 120 yuan per scooter – a rip-off). Riding the electric scooters along the village roads was very pleasant. The rice paddies and guesthouses were beautiful. Just be careful while riding; four-wheeled vehicles travel together. The experience was great, and it's a place I'd love to stay in for a while.

Sisters! There's a hidden gem in Xingyi, Guizhou – **Wanfeng Lake "Little Gorge"**! 🚤 Promise me you'll come take a boat trip!!! Sailing on the shimmering water, with layers upon layers of karst peaks on both banks, it truly feels like walking through a giant ink painting! 🌫️ The short one-hour boat trip is simply too much for the eyes to take in! The lake water is crystal clear, the mountain peaks are reflected like a painting, and the gentle breeze is so soothing! 💚 At that moment, I instantly understood the exhilaration and poetic beauty of Li Bai's line, "**A light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains**"! ⛰️➡️➡️➡️ It's as if all worries are left behind, leaving only the vastness of the sky and earth, and a feeling of openness and liberation! ✨ **Useful Tips:** 1. **📍Location:** Wanfeng Lake Scenic Area, Xingyi City, Qianxinan Prefecture, Guizhou Province (Frequently navigate to "Wanfeng Lake Hongchun Wharf" or "Wanfeng Lake Cruise Wharf") 2. **⏰Time:** The cruise lasts about 1 hour. It's recommended to go in the afternoon for better lighting and sunset views (check boat schedules). 3. **🎫Cost:** The main cost is the boat ticket (ranging from tens to a little over a hundred yuan, depending on the boat type and route). Remember to ask beforehand. 4. **📸Photography:** Wear light-colored/traditional Chinese style clothing for better photos! Sit at the bow or by the window for stunning mountain and water shots! A wide-angle lens is even better! 5. **💡Tips:** Be sure to wear sunscreen! Bring a bottle of water. Check the weather forecast beforehand; sunny days are the best! **Absolutely amazing!** A top-notch mountain and water spa + mind-body massage for just a few dozen yuan! Less crowded, beautiful scenery, and excellent value! Hurry before it gets too popular! 💨 #GuizhouTourism #XingyiTourism #WanfengLake #Xiaoshanxia #OffTheBeatenPathDestination #BoatTrip #KarstLandscape #LightBoatHasPassedThousandsOfMountains #TravelHealingMoments #WeekendGetaway

There are endless peaks and forests in the area, rivers running through it, and clouds and mist lingering. The scenery changes as the day goes by. It overlooks the rippling waters of the Nanpan River in the upper reaches of the Pearl River. It is a tourist attraction jointly created by the Banbianjie Village Committee of Xingyi City and the People's Government of Zerong Township of Xingyi City.
