Certified by National Geographic as an emerald gem! I found a hidden paradise at Libo Xiaoqikong.

🌿Must-see! It's like God spilled a paint palette here. 1️⃣ Wolongtan Pool: A Blue-Green Wonderland "Emerald shards scattered across the earth" perfectly describes this place! Sunlight penetrates the water, refracting into a blue-green gradient, like flowing colored glass. The mist rising from the underground river creates a magical filter. Take a photo from the side of the pool and instantly become the heroine of Rattan!📸 (Tip: The light is best before 10 am!) 2️⃣ Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge: A Thousand-Year Love Story This 182-year-old Qing Dynasty stone arch bridge has moss-covered piers that whisper tales of time.🌿 Legend says the Seven Fairies built this bridge for eloping lovers. Couples who hold hands and walk across the seven arches will stay together forever! Wear a *hanfu* and stand in the center of the bridge, have your photographer shoot from downstream, and capture a stunning image of blue-green landscapes + ancient-style portrait. 3️⃣ Water Forest: A Magical Drift Walk upstream, stepping on thousand-year-old tree roots, as water cascades down from the vines overhead.💦 (Warning: Wear non-slip shoes!) Capture the play of light and shadow with your phone in landscape mode! 🌊99% of tourists don't know about these hidden gems: 🔥 Conquer Yuanyang Lake in a transparent boat Lie back in the jelly-colored lake and paddle, watching fish swim beneath you.🐟 Paddle to the center of the lake and take a "levitation photo." 💥 Enjoy a traditional long-table feast under a waterfall Experience the Shui "Xia" Festival by Laya Waterfall. Savor sour fish soup accompanied by the roar of the waterfall—a double delight for your taste buds and ears!📸 Capture the rainbow halo in the mist. 📌Exclusive tips: ✅ Golden composition points: Capture the depth of Cuigu Waterfall from the corner of the wooden walkway. Take a top-down shot of the cascading water at the Sixty-Eight Steps Waterfall. ✅ Hidden camera spots: Shoot the symmetrical reflection from the rocks 30 meters downstream of the ancient bridge. The side backlight at 4 pm creates an oil-painting effect. 🌟Important notes: 1️⃣ Safety and equipment preparation ·Non-slip shoes are essential: The surfaces near waterfalls, water forests, and other areas are slippery. Wear non-slip shoes or sneakers to avoid falls. ​·Water protection: You'll need to wade through water at the Water Forest, Yuanyang Lake, and other attractions. Bring a waterproof phone case and extra socks. You can wear sandals in the summer. ​·Sun and mosquito protection: Use sunscreen and a hat when the sun is strong. Bring mosquito repellent for the forested areas. ​·Pack light: The hiking route is long (about 5–6 hours). Use a backpack, avoid heavy items, and bring your own water and snacks (food inside the park is expensive). 2️⃣ Route planning and time management ·Avoid peak hours: Enter from the east gate before 8 am to avoid tour groups (most tour groups enter through the west gate after 9 am). ​·Recommended routes: ✅ For seniors/children: West gate entry (downhill is easier) → Wolongtan Pool → Yuanyang Lake → Cuigu Waterfall → Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge. ✅ For serious photographers: East gate entry → Photograph Xiaoqikong Bridge in the morning → Go upstream to Wolongtan Pool. The light at the ancient bridge is best after 4 pm. ​·Time management: Entry to the park stops at 4:30 pm. Allow 4–6 hours for sightseeing. Queues during peak season can extend the visit to 7 hours. 3️⃣ Seasons and weather ​·Best season: April–October (ample water flow, spectacular waterfalls). Pay attention to the weather forecast during the rainy season (July–August) as heavy rain can make the water murky. ​·Rainy day tips: Bring a raincoat (better than an umbrella for hiking). The waterfall area is misty, so protect your camera from water. ​·Winter warmth: Temperatures range from 0–10°C. Wear a windproof jacket. The morning mist at Wolongtan Pool can cause icy surfaces, so be careful.
