The Wonderful Seven Arches
Xiao Qi Kong in the south of Guizhou province offers a wonderful day trip. Excellent waterfalls for photography, turquoise colour water and many superb bridges.
I suggest you take a wooden boat ride and enjoy the water rafting experience...it's truly spectacular.
If you like taking photographs then this is a great place. You can also visit Xi Jiang Miao village nearby and make the trip truly memorable.

So ethereal, so beautiful, it's hidden in Guizhou
The loquats in Libo are ripe, won't you come and taste them?
Next, visit the Daqikong and Xiaoqikong to admire the earthly paradise. What more can one ask for?

Libo Xiaoqikong in Guizhou is great, I won't come again next time
After going there, I found it too shocking, truly deserving of the title of 'Emerald on Earth'‼️
🚉Transportation:
It takes about an hour and a half to get to Libo by 🚄 high-speed train from Guiyang. Although there are many bullet train services, it is still recommended to purchase round-trip tickets in advance, especially during holidays!
🏷️There are two ways to get to the scenic area:
🚌Direct bus to the scenic area: 10 yuan per person to the east gate of the scenic area, 35 yuan to the west gate;
🚍Bus: Route 11 goes directly to the east gate of the scenic area, 5 yuan per person, not to the west gate. The bus journey takes about 15-20 minutes to reach the east gate of the scenic area, and the west gate is even further.
🎫Ticket:
The ticket price is 120 yuan, the scenic area sightseeing car is 40 yuan, and insurance is 10 yuan, so the total is 170 yuan per person. There is now a ticket discount policy, such as for people's teachers, Guangdong natives, and those born in the Year of the Dragon, who may be exempt from the ticket fee and only need to pay for the sightseeing car and insurance.
🌈Recommended Route:
🌟It is recommended to enter from the east gate, and there is a sightseeing bus from the east gate to Wolongtan before 10 am. Wolongtan is very suitable for photography, with several particularly photogenic spots to find. It is one of the most beautiful spots in the entire scenic area, a bit like a dream back to Jiuzhaigou. If you go in the morning, there won't be too many people.
🌟After visiting Wolongtan, you can take the sightseeing car to slowly visit the attractions towards the east gate. Along the way, you can go boating on Mandarin Duck Lake, walk around Cuigu Waterfall and the wetlands, and then go to the Xiaoqikong ancient bridge, which is also very photogenic! Walking 1.6 kilometers, there are many more attractions along the way!
‼️Notes:
🔖If you want to take good photos, it's best to arrive early! The scenic area opens at 8 am, and there are fewer people in the morning, which is more conducive to photography. By noon, there will be a lot of people, and everyone is queuing to take photos, so the effect won't be as good.
🔖It is recommended to wear white clothes, which really make for good photos.
🔖Scenic area tickets can be purchased online in advance, and you can enter the scenic area directly by scanning your ID card or face, saving time without having to queue offline.
🔖In short, one day is completely enough. If you don't like walking, you can also take the sightseeing car directly to each attraction, which is very convenient.

Self-driving into the Libo Xiaoqikong scenic area
The spring expedition activity of the Shaanxi Self-driving Tour and RV Camping Association visited the Xiaoqikong scenic area located in Libo County, Guizhou Province today. This scenic area, with its unique natural scenery and rich cultural connotations, has attracted the attention of countless tourists.
Libo Xiaoqikong scenic area, as a national nature reserve, national scenic spot, and national 5A-level tourist attraction, is known as the most beautiful place in China, like a 'sapphire' on Earth. Its name comes from a seven-arch ancient stone bridge built in the 15th year of the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty (1836). This bridge has witnessed the vicissitudes of history and carries the deep feelings of the local people.
The scenic area is dominated by karst landforms, with caves, forests, lakes, waterfalls, rocks, water, and valleys all gathered together to form beautiful paintings. The emerald water scenes are dreamy under the sunlight, as if they can cleanse the dust in people's hearts. The exquisite scenery is captivating and a feast for the eyes.
To better appreciate the beauty of the scenic area, it is recommended to follow the suggested route: starting from Wolongtan, then to the wetland area, water forest, and the 68-level waterfall🌤🍧🌳

A worth-visiting off-the-beaten-path attraction--Libo Xiaoqikong in Guizhou
Libo Xiaoqikong--"The Emerald on Earth!"
"The real-life version of the Emerald City, a fairyland on earth"
The uniqueness of Xiaoqikong lies in its nature and primitiveness. The mountains here are lush and dripping, the water is clear and the stones are beautiful, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland on earth. Especially the Xiaoqikong ancient bridge, which is one of the most famous attractions in Libo. This ancient bridge spans the beautiful Resounding River, with clear water under the bridge and dense forest at the head of the bridge, which is very beautiful. Of course, it also includes other attractions such as Mandarin Duck Lake, Wolong Pool, Natural Bridge, etc.
Warm reminder: Avoid holidays when you go, and enjoy the quiet, primitive and natural!
