High-speed rail direct! The sea of flowers covering the mountains in April here has taken me by surprise with its stunning beauty
Spring represents sowing and hope, but for Guizhou, it signifies even more the harvest and a beautiful future.
You may know about the status of Huangguoshu Waterfall in the world of scenic beauty, but many people are unaware that Guizhou hides the most beautiful 'Supreme of China' in spring.
It is the Bai Li Azalea Scenic Area in Bijie, Guizhou.
Spread over a narrow hilly area of about 50 kilometers, there are dozens of varieties of azaleas, with colorful flowers forming a continuous sea, especially spectacular.
I had heard that this place has the reputation of 'the world's largest natural garden' and 'ribbon of the earth, garden of the world,' but witnessing this scale in person still exceeded my expectations.
Standing on the summit of Bai Li Azalea, looking around, the sea of flowers is vast and magnificent, and the nostrils are filled with a strong fragrance of flowers.

The azaleas of Baili are in full bloom, at the peak of their season
Bijie's Baili Azalea area is a national-level forest park, and now is the blooming season. Azaleas are blossoming competitively all over the mountains, stretching for a hundred kilometers, and they are all wild. The local Yi, Bai, and other ethnic groups hold a flower god worship ceremony every year on March 28, praying for peace and happiness.
ELISA NICHOLSON
Bai Li Du Juan, the most beautiful bloom!
Bi Jie, you really know how to enjoy the flowers.
The mountain flowers of Bai Li Du Juan have bloomed, and missing them means waiting more than a year.
Talking to the sightseeing car driver, he said that this year is the most luxuriant bloom in 12 years.
Spring is harmonious and the scenery is bright, it's just the right time for Qingming outings. But it's really frustrating without proper preparation. Take advice, don't take the wrong path.
📍Address: First of all, the Bai Li Du Juan Scenic Area is located between Da Fang and Qian Xi in Bijie City, Guizhou Province, including Pu Di, Jin Po, Du Juan Hua Wang, and Jia Mu four scenic spots. The first two have scenic sightseeing cars, and the last two can only be visited by self-driving. This article only discusses Pu Di and Jin Po.
🎫Ticket: The full price for adults is 130 yuan, valid for 5 days after the first face recognition entry into the scenic area. The sightseeing car ticket is 70 yuan, and you can take unlimited rides with face recognition within 3 days. Tickets are booked in time slots, and the first activation must be within the reserved time slot, but you can enter the park at any time afterwards.
🚌Transportation:
1️⃣There are direct buses to the Tourist Distribution Center from Bijie, Da Fang, and Qian Xi high-speed rail stations. It's said to be every 2 hours, but actually, there are more buses prepared during these peak days, and they depart as soon as they are full. Early and late buses are guaranteed. Da Fang is the closest to the scenic area, but there are more high-speed trains from Guiyang to Qian Xi than to Da Fang.
2️⃣Key point❗️The Tourist Distribution Center is not the same as the scenic area entrance. Pu Di generally enters the scenic area from the West Gate Visitor Center. From the Distribution Center, take the free No. 1 City Scenic Bus (shuttle), and remember to get a wristband. To go from Pu Di to Jin Po, take the free shuttle at the Wu Cai Lu Visitor Center.
3️⃣Traffic control is in place near the scenic area, and taxis need to walk a few hundred meters. There are online car-hailing services, and it's been easy to get a ride these days. It might be difficult during peak times.
4️⃣The sightseeing cars in the scenic area operate from 7:30-20:00 on weekdays, and from 7:00-20:30 on Fridays to Sundays and holidays. These days, there are more waiting cars than people in line. The delay is due to face recognition and barrier guidance. Sometimes everyone lines up in one lane, while two or three face recognition devices are unused next to it. Just follow the guided routes when taking the sightseeing car. Walking is required between Zui Jiu Niu and Shu Hua Feng, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
5️⃣Walking🚶♀️or scenic sightseeing car? If you can walk 20,000 steps a day, walking is no problem at all. If there's no queue for the sightseeing car, you can take it to save energy. If it's too crowded on holidays, it's only 1 kilometer to walk to Wu Cai Ting. Then, whether you walk towards Wu Cai Lu or Shu Hua Feng, it's a sea of flowers all the way. The scenic area signs are well made. The trails are quite narrow and can get congested when crowded.
🏠Accommodation: There are some hotels inside the West Gate of the scenic area, priced around 200 yuan, at the level of farm stays. There are some new apartments on the street outside the scenic area that seem to be a bit better. The newly opened Wan Feng is the best.
🌟Some suggestions:
1️⃣Off-peak thinking🤔. Since most direct buses or day trips don't leave until 8:30 and leave at the latest at 18:30, it means that the most beautiful mornings and evenings are less crowded. It's already very hot at noon now, so you can go back to the hotel for a nap.
2️⃣Pu Di or Jin Po? Or visit both? If there's no queue for the bus, it's feasible to run both scenic spots in one day. It's more comfortable to play for two or three days at a leisurely pace. Jin Po has a popular suspension bridge, and there are many travel groups. I think the best recent blooms are at Pu Di's Wu Cai Ting, Wu Cai Lu, and the highest point of the scenic area, Shu Hua Feng. There are spectacular large scenes, and low-hanging flower branches for portrait photography spots.

Enchanting Azaleas: 🌺 Exploring Guizhou
#cherryblossom2024
In April this year, I was lucky enough to witness the beautiful scenery of the Guizhou Hundred Mile Rhododendron Scenic Area. The azaleas all over the mountains and plains, like the palette of nature, will be decorated with colorful mountains and rivers. Standing in the sea of flowers, I seem to be in a huge picture. That piece of flower waterfall, a block of flowers mountains, beautiful people linger on. 🌺🏞️ #NaturePalette

Visiting the Hundred-Li Azalea may be the most cost-effective and effortless way
📍 The Hundred-Li Azalea is located in Bijie City, Guizhou Province, but most cities cannot reach Bijie directly. Usually, one has to first get to Guiyang and then transfer.
📋 Initially, I planned to buy a 99 yuan round-trip ticket (departing from Guiyang Station or Guiyang North Station) on 'Qian Shuang Travel' and then purchase the entrance ticket myself (the official price is 130 yuan, but there are unofficial ones for 100 yuan).
Later, I found a 198 yuan day tour that includes the entrance ticket, lunch, major transportation, and minor transportation (between Pudi and Jinpo), so I simply booked this one.
If you are eligible for free admission, it only costs 88 yuan, which is really cheap. Because even if you take the high-speed train to Bijie City, the one-way trip to the Hundred-Li Azalea scenic area would cost about 50 yuan.
🕒 The downside is that you can't get to the scenic area early in the morning. We arrived at the Pudi entrance around 8 am, and in the afternoon, the bus took us to Jinpo.
❤️ I think the two most beautiful spots are: the Colorful Pavilion in Pudi and the Soma Suspension Bridge in Jinpo.
These two spots can actually be reached on foot without taking the sightseeing bus.
🧡 Other beautiful spots: the Shuhua Peak in Pudi and the Maying Forest in Jinpo.
To get to these two spots, you have to take the sightseeing bus.
✨ A little adventure: Near the Colorful Pavilion, CCTV was filming a program, attracting many beautiful girls in ethnic minority costumes.
Originally, I was taking pictures from a distance outside the fence (pictures 5-6), when CCTV reporter Chen Chunxiao came over and asked where I was from. I said Beijing, and she said I could come in to take pictures.
I was socially anxious at that moment: Shen Liu really pointing at herself.jpg😯
I thought, other tourists must be very envious of me, hehe, being able to take close-up photos of the beautiful reporter and actors (pictures 7-11).😌
In order not to affect the filming of the program, I still found a little corner to squat in. The professional photographers on site were moving around a lot, and I was super afraid of getting in their way.🥲

Once you hear about the Lady of Luxury Fragrance, you'll know that the azaleas of Baili never wither
This April, I was utterly romanced by the azaleas blooming all over the mountains in Guizhou 💕
The huge and lush flowers are like nature's palette
Painting with various bright colors
Curtains of colorful flower sea waterfalls, hills and fields of flowers
Giving one a sense of the infinite vitality and hope of nature
I regret not being able to capture and share with you the spectacular sight I saw with my own eyes
Take advantage of the current free admission for people from Guangdong, and come witness the unparalleled beauty of the azaleas

COOPER MATTHEWS
The spring breeze quietly awakens the flower buds that are sleeping in their 'beauty sleep', and the azaleas are about to bloom
【Scenic Area Introduction】Pudi Scenic Area and Jinpo Scenic Area both belong to the core scenic areas of the Hundred-Mile Azalea Scenic Area, and they are about 10 kilometers apart. From the Jinsa side, Pudi is closer; from the Qianxi side, Jinpo is closer. The two scenic areas share one ticket, and there is a shuttle bus between them, which takes about 20 minutes. The sightseeing car tickets within the two scenic areas are not interchangeable, and must be purchased separately.
For a one-day tour and to see more beautiful scenery, you can choose to go from Jinpo Scenic Area to Pudi Scenic Area. Jinpo Scenic Area is one of the most spectacular areas of the Hundred-Mile Azalea. There are many varieties of azaleas here, and the essence of flower viewing spots such as Soma Suspension Bridge, Baihua Ping, and Maying Forest are all here. Pudi Scenic Area offers a grand view of the flower area, with mountains full of azaleas competing in beauty, dazzling to the eyes.
【Scenic Area Sightseeing Car】The sightseeing car in each scenic area costs 35 yuan (valid on the day of purchase, not interchangeable between Pudi and Jinpo), and to ride the sightseeing car, you must queue up for face scanning at the designated spots, which is very troublesome, and the staff efficiency is particularly slow. The round-trip shuttle bus from Pudi Scenic Area to Jinpo Scenic Area costs 40 yuan (the Pudi shuttle bus first goes to Jinpo, then returns to Pudi, and it should be the opposite for Jinpo; if you are not going to another scenic area, do not buy a shuttle bus ticket).
