    The scenic area has complete facilities, and you can explore both sides of the canyon. If you don't want to climb the mountain, there is also a sightseeing elevator that goes straight up and down. The scenery is also beautiful, making it a very worthwhile place to visit.

    The Fenglin Buyi Scenic Area, located 13 kilometers from Xingyi city, is an ancient town showcasing Buyi culture, but it has a strong commercial atmosphere. I especially liked the cafes and bars within the scenic area; they were all very unique. After a long day of sightseeing, you could relax there, especially at the ones with lakeside terraces, where you could unwind and enjoy a moment of tranquility. You absolutely must go at night; it's not as enjoyable during the day.

    This canyon scenic area isn't very large, making it suitable for self-driving or chartered tours. There are two entrances/exits, and currently both sides of the canyon are open for exploration. Sometimes only one side is open, so it's recommended to avoid peak tourist season. A typical visit takes about two and a half hours. One entrance/exit is Xiaoqingshan, which requires walking to the bottom of the canyon, but the distance doesn't seem far. The other entrance/exit is Dachaiwo, which has a direct paid elevator, but it's about a 200-meter walk from the scenic area entrance to the elevator. The ground distance between the two entrances/exits isn't far either. If you're driving, you can park in the scenic area's paid parking lot. If the parking lot is full, you can park for free on the mountain road outside the scenic area. To save energy, it's recommended to enter from the Xiaoqingshan entrance and return from the Dachaiwo exit by elevator. If both sides of the canyon are open, you'll need to plan your tour route carefully, considering which entrance/exit to use. It depends on your preference; exploring both sides requires more stamina. In the latter case, it doesn't really matter which entrance/exit you choose…

    Spectacular! The power and roar of Huangguoshu are unforgettable. Walking behind the waterfall is a must-do. Book tickets in advance to save time. Highly recommended!

    The ticket price is 65 yuan, and the parking fee is 10 yuan, a total of 75 yuan. Not only can you see the waterfall, but you can also see caterpillars as big as fists, bees having meetings, and ants moving. This is very cost-effective. What else do you want?

    The scenery is beautiful, but there's some traffic. Traffic jams happen because some people think they're smarter than others and skip the line, overtaking from the side lanes and blocking oncoming traffic. I've taken photos of these cars skipping the line and exposing them, hoping to foster public scrutiny and promote social progress. We can't always let those who skip the line take advantage while those with public morals suffer.

    If you don't want to be crammed into major tourist attractions during the summer peak season, this is a great option. Traveling with kids and elders, and not wanting to be like a special forces team, we chose to visit the Dragon Palace, which was the kids' favorite part. It was truly an unprecedented experience! The only downside was that we didn't get to sit in it enough! In the sweltering summer heat outside, the Dragon Palace felt like it had air conditioning – a perfect summer retreat!

  • Meihua Mountain Tourism Scenic Area

    This is a worthwhile 5A scenic spot, not far from Liupanshui city center, easily accessible by car or taxi. For most tourists, the cable car is recommended for the entire journey. The cable car operates in two sections, requiring a 200-meter walk between the two sections to reach the other. The combined length of the two sections is likely the longest cable car in China. If driving, you can park at the cable car starting station parking lot. After getting off at the cable car end, it's recommended to take the paid shuttle bus inside the station for convenience. Once at the foot of the mountain, take the rotating cable car back up to the summit – a great experience! Continue your tour and enjoy panoramic views of Meihua Mountain. On a clear day, it's a fantastic spot for photos. Then, slowly walk down the mountain. I don't recommend dining at the revolving restaurant at the summit, as the viewing platform outside is no longer open, making it less interesting. The restaurant is also expensive and has a limited selection. You can still enjoy the same panoramic views of the mountain from the lower level…

    The Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden lives up to its reputation as "the most beautiful cherry blossom garden on the blue planet." 700,000 cherry trees are in full bloom across 24,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) of land. The vibrant sea of pink and white blossoms, set against the backdrop of emerald green tea fields and sparkling lakes, creates a breathtaking spring scene. Strolling through it feels like stepping into a dreamlike fairytale.

    As the saying goes, "There's no other cave like Zhijin Cave," you have to see it for yourself to know how breathtaking it is. It's best to bring a bottle of water and a thermos. The walk takes about 2 hours.
