[2025 Dafang Attraction] Travel Guide for Hundreds of Miles of Azaleas (Updated Jul)

🌄Wanfenglin in Guizhou is an intoxicating place! Here, you'll find majestic peaks, charming pastoral scenery, and unique Buyi ethnic customs, as if stepping into a fairyland😍. 📍Overview: Wanfenglin is located in the southeast of Xingyi City, Guizhou Province, and is one of the three major karst landforms in Southwest China. The Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake once marveled: "There are countless mountains in the world, but only here do they form a forest." The peaks here take on various shapes—some resemble generals, others the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), and some even look like a gathering of dragons🐉, leaving visitors in awe! 📸Photo Spots: 1️⃣ General Peak: The iconic landmark of Wanfenglin, a solitary peak standing tall among the forest of mountains, as if a general guarding the land. 2️⃣ Bagua Fields: A natural formation of farmland arranged in the pattern of the Bagua, a wonder of Wanfenglin. From a high vantage point, the layout strikingly resembles the Bagua diagram. 3️⃣ Nahui Village: A village brimming with Buyi ethnic charm, featuring ancient houses, clear rivers, and golden rice fields, creating a picturesque rural scene. 4️⃣ Western Peak Forest: The peculiarly shaped peaks here, each unique, make for stunning natural landscape photography. 5️⃣ Tiankeng (Sinkholes): The sinkhole landscapes in Wanfenglin are equally distinctive, with bottomless pits and steep cliffs surrounding them. 6️⃣ Viewing Platforms: Scattered throughout the scenic area, these platforms offer breathtaking views of rolling mountains and misty clouds. Fanjingshan: A Spiritual Haven Beyond the Mortal World Stepping into Fanjingshan feels like entering an ethereal fairyland. The undulating mountains fade in and out of the mist, resembling an ink-wash painting slowly unfolding. Climbing along the winding mountain paths, you're surrounded by lush primeval forests. Towering trees intertwine their branches, with sunlight filtering through to cast golden beams. The crisp chirping of birds echoes through the woods, adding vitality to the serene mountainscape. 🌸Floral Extravaganza The blooming season of the Baili Azaleas typically runs from mid-March to early May, when the mountains are awash with azaleas in full bloom, creating a veritable sea of flowers🌺! Reds blaze like fire, pinks glow like sunset clouds, and whites shimmer like snow—all blending together as if nature overturned a palette, stunningly beautiful. The azaleas come in various shapes, some with layered petals, others light and airy, each vying for attention. 📍Must-Visit Spots The Pudi and Jinpo scenic areas are the heart of Baili Azaleas and not to be missed! In Pudi, strolling along the viewing trails immerses you in a floral embrace—an unparalleled experience. Jinpo features observation decks where you can gaze at the mountains blanketed in azaleas, forming a vibrant "floral carpet" that’s absolutely breathtaking. Every shot is postcard-worthy📷! If the previous days left me in awe of Guizhou’s landscapes, then Wujiangzhai truly immersed me in the unique charm of ethnic minority culture. 🏠「Accommodation」 This time, I stayed at [Qian Academy] in Wujiangzhai—an exceptional experience, and it’s close to the core scenic area. For a more immersive stay, consider [Miao King Hotel]. Perched higher up and facing the village, it offers a panoramic view of Wujiangzhai. The cultural ambiance is outstanding, making you feel like you’ve truly moved into the village, with Miao customs evident everywhere. The hotel’s Guizhou cuisine is also excellent, and don’t miss the infinity pool at Miao King Hotel for some Instagram-worthy shots! 🥘「Culinary Delights」 Don’t leave without trying the sour fish soup! For snacks, I recommend lamb rice noodles, tofu noodle soup, and potato cakes! Many dishes include coriander, so if you’re not a fan, let the server know in advance.

National Geographic didn't lie! Guizhou's spring flower sea is as beautiful as a painting. Golden rapeseed flowers, azaleas all over the mountains, romantic cherry blossoms and peach blossoms... Driving through Guizhou is like falling into a fairy tale world. Anshun · Baojiatun Flower Sea (February–April) You can see the world's largest cherry blossom sea in Guiyang!!! It's not inferior to Japanese cherry blossoms at all, and it also has the characteristics of Guizhou Karst! At the same time, the spring in Baojiatun is a golden idyllic picture scroll. The sea of rapeseed flowers stretches from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, with stone roads, Diaolou towers, and old houses standing quietly, as if time has gone back. It takes about half an hour to drive from Anshun city. Bijie · Baili Azalea (March 25–April 15) The largest natural azalea garden on earth explodes with beauty every spring. The azaleas all over the mountains and plains range from crimson to light pink, layer upon layer, covering the entire mountaintop. It is recommended to go early. If there are many people, you can choose an unpopular spot, such as the valley west of the "Flower Counting Peak" viewing platform in Pudi Garden. Tickets are 130 yuan, and sightseeing buses are 50 yuan. It is recommended to buy tickets in advance on the official WeChat public account. Drivers should pay attention to the many curves on the mountain roads. Safety first. Wumeng Grassland · Dwarf Azalea (April 1–20) The spring of Wumeng Grassland not only has vast meadows, but also large areas of pink-purple dwarf azaleas. Standing on the top of the mountain, with a sea of flowers at your feet and rolling mountains in the distance, the sky is pure and blue. Every photo you take is wallpaper-worthy. Guiding · Golden Sea and Snow Mountain (February 1–March 20) The cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers of Golden Sea and Snow Mountain are the most dreamy color scheme in Guizhou's spring. The best time to see cherry blossoms is from late February to early March. There are also Ferris wheels and sightseeing trains here, which are great for taking photos. For food, we recommend Panjiang dog meat and spicy chicken. Anshun Puding · Peach Blossom Island (March 1–25) Want to take some pink and tender peach blossom photos? Anshun Peach Blossom Island is the right place! The peach blossoms bloom enthusiastically in March. When the breeze blows, the petals fall, and the ground is full of romance. The volcano road is a bit narrow, so be careful when driving. On the way back, you can stop by Pingba for an authentic beef hot pot. Guiyang Nanming District · Yongle Township Peach Blossom (March 1–25) A hidden gem for peach blossoms around Guiyang, the flowers bloom into a sea every March, and walking in is like entering a pink fairy tale world. In addition to flower viewing, there will also be dragon dance competitions and concerts here, suitable for group fun with friends. You can directly navigate to "Yongle Flower Sea Parking Lot." Pingba · 10,000-mu Cherry Blossom Garden (March 10–25) One of the largest cherry blossom gardens in the world, it is a pink ocean every March. Hundreds of thousands of cherry blossoms surround the lake and tea garden. When the wind blows, the cherry blossom rain falls, which is really romantic. It is recommended to avoid the main entrance and navigate to "Yin Guan," where there will be fewer people. Recommended shooting spots in the park include "Cliff Tree," the tea garden cherry blossom area, and hidden paths. You can take great photos anywhere.

Ticket price: CNY 150/person in peak season and CNY 100/person in off-season (remember to book in advance!). The azaleas and Bijie are so beautiful! Unless you are here, you won't know that the azaleas are as big as peonies, as beautiful as roses, and as colorful as monthly roses, and you won't know that the flowers are like a sea, with waves undulating from near to far. It is well worth seeing. There is a street called Fugui Mountain Villa outside the scenic area, which is a private property. I had a meal here. Two kinds of sausages, a chicken and a duck, and other vegetarian dishes are produced in the field next to the villa, which is very good. I watched the CCTV video of Baili Dujuan and the picture was very beautiful, so I decided to go and experience it myself. I took a sightseeing bus into the scenic area. Wow, it really lives up to its name. I saw a large area of colorful azaleas in full bloom. The trees are tall and magnificent, and there are many varieties of azaleas. The mountains are covered with azaleas, which are in full swing and dazzling. The colorful road is completely surrounded by azaleas. It is really a visual feast. So beautiful! Fantastic.
