The secret grassland of Bijie is blooming like a sea of flowers, come quickly!

Hey, travel lovers! Just got back from Bijie, Guizhou, and I can't wait to share this hidden gem destination—5 days of fun for just over 1k per person, with an unbeatable cost-performance ratio! 😍 Bijie isn’t crowded like popular tourist spots; here you’ll find pristine landscapes, ethnic customs, and stunning karst wonders. It’s definitely the ultimate off-the-beaten-path travel experience! 👇 🌿 Must-visit attractions 1. Zhijin Cave Known as the "King of Chinese Caves," this 5A-level scenic spot features thousands of bizarre stalactites. When lit up, it looks like an underground magical city! Remember to wear sneakers (don’t be like me wearing a skirt—it’s a bit cool and slippery inside). 2. Baili Azalea Although the azalea blooms from March to April, the vast green sea in summer is still breathtaking. Perfect for hiking and photography! 3. Axilixi Grassland Guizhou’s version of “frontier scenery”! At 2400 meters altitude, the lush grass, herds of cattle and sheep, and horseback riding (bargain down to 20 yuan per round, a great deal) await you. From August to September, the purple flowers bloom on Jiucaiping, like stepping into a sea of purple clouds! 4. Wujiangyuan Hundred-Mile Gallery Take a boat ride on the emerald river, with stunning cliff murals on both sides. Every shot looks like a masterpiece! 5. Shexiang Ancient Town The only town in China with terraced fields inside the city, rich in Yi ethnic culture. When lanterns light up at dusk, it feels like traveling back to the ancient Yi kingdom. Free to explore and perfect for photos! 🍜 Must-try foods · Zhijin Buckwheat Cold Noodles: sour and spicy, refreshingly delicious! · Mutton Rice Noodles: flavorful broth, one bowl a day is never enough! · Dafang Stinky Tofu: smells pungent but tastes amazing, especially with chili powder! · Yi-style Tuotuo Meat: big bites of meat, super satisfying with full ethnic flavor! 📅 5-day itinerary · Day 1: Arrive in Bijie → check into city hotel → enjoy mutton rice noodles → stroll Tongxin Pedestrian Street and enjoy the music festival (runs until October!) · Day 2: Head to Zhijin Cave (3 hours) → Zhijin Grand Canyon → stay in Zhijin County · Day 3: Hike Baili Azalea → afternoon boat ride on Caohai Lake for birdwatching → stay in Weining homestay · Day 4: Horseback riding on Axilixi Grassland → flower viewing at Jiucaiping → return to Bijie city · Day 5: Photograph terraced fields in Shexiang Ancient Town → buy Bobo candy souvenirs → happily head home! 💡 Handy tips · Transportation: Attractions are spread out; it’s best to rent a car or join a small group tour (about 300 yuan per person for car fees). · Accommodation: Budget hotels/homestays cost 50-80 yuan per night per person; booking early gets you better prices. · Clothing: Big temperature differences in the mountains, bring a jacket + sun hat, and an umbrella is a must (weather is unpredictable)! The beauty of Bijie is not just the scenery, but the peace and simplicity far from the noise. The smiling faces of Yi grandmothers, the wind rushing across the grasslands, the timelessness preserved in the caves... all make you realize: the earthly secret is hidden deep in Wumeng ❤️. ✨ Follow me to unlock more off-the-beaten-path adventures!
