A place that boasts a strange terrain that looks like a bowl of rice has been turned over Manbonglim is located in Xingyi, Guizhou Province. Since it is originally a warm southern region, rape blossoms bloom and fall early, when the flowers bloom, it shows a truly enormous sea of ​​rape blossoms. When you walk between the peaks and rape blossom fields between the villages, you can feel a strange sense of peace in its uniqueness and strangeness. In particular, this place is famous for the world's largest karst landforms, and the view from the observation deck by riding an electric car is the best.. I was simply amazed by the doline fields and limestone erosion created by the earth science class. They offer bicycle rentals at the entrance, so I recommend that you ride them and tour every corner of the town.. #China #ChinaTravel #Guizhou #Xingyi #Karst #Manbonglim #Rape Blossoms

Literally translating as Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks, Wanfenglin is one of China’s largest areas of karst landscape, famed for its tower-like fenglin formations. On either side of the valley, the karst hills rise from the horizon like humps on a sleeping dragon’s back. 🌲This area has what many popular areas lost long ago - a palpable sense of being well off the international tourist trail. And the best way is to cycling around instead of taking the suttle bus. The area is super clean with a sense of calm. make sure to take active wear because there are a lot of outdoor activities to do, and the best way to enjoy the area is by bike. All in all I would definitely recommend this place as it has not yet been discovered by the crowds ☺️ #naturalwonders#camping#nationalpark#lakes

Xingyi Wanfenglin: Karst Qiguan Wanfenglin is located in the southeast of Xingyi City, Guizhou Province. It is a national-level scenic spot, a national AAAA-level scenic spot, the most beautiful five peak forests in China, and the first batch of industrial and agricultural tourism demonstration zones in China. Wanfenglin belongs to the southwestern karst landform of China. It is called the China Cone Karst Museum and is known as the World Wonders. Wanfenglin consists of East and West Peak Forests with different landscapes. It is the largest and most typical karst peak forest in China. More than 316 years ago, the famous geographer and traveler Xu Xiake came to Wanfenglin. He also issued such a sigh: "There are so many mountains in the world, only the peaks here are forests." Xu Xiake once again came to Xingyi and wrote in his travel notes: "The peak of Cong Li, thousands of miles, is the southwestern odd."

Here, because of the distance from the hustle and bustle of the city, plus the mountains and the dreamy green, it is quiet and peaceful. Especially when the night falls, the entire scenic spot is shrouded in the starry sky, which makes people feel like they are in a dreamland. With this magnificent starry sky and the Milky Way, I gradually wake up from my sleep and greet myself. It is also a mountain peak and dreamy light and shadow, as if the fairy tale world is generally romantic and charming.

At dawn, the Wanfenglin Forest is still wrapped in a delicate veil of mist. Twenty thousand verdant peaks awaken one by one in the morning glow, like soldiers awaiting inspection. The Nahui River meanders through, turning the rice waves of the Bagua Terraced Fields into scattered gold, startling a few egrets whose wings ripple circles of light as they take flight. From the stilted houses of the Bouyei people, wisps of cooking smoke rise, intertwining with the morning fog in the mountains. A young woman in indigo attire walks along the field ridge with a bamboo basket on her back, her skirt brushing against the rice ears and shaking off strings of dewdrops. At noon, sunlight pierces through the clouds, casting dappled shadows among the peaks, and the outline of General Peak grows ever clearer, standing like a guardian deity gazing upon the scattered villages below. The rain arrives suddenly. Mountain mist cascades down the peaks like waterfalls or sheer curtains, transforming the landscape into an ink-wash painting. As the skies clear after the rain, a rainbow arches across the valley, while an elderly Bouyei sits beneath a banyan tree, chanting ancestral songs in an ancient melody. When dusk falls, the silhouettes of the peaks gradually blur in the sunset. Fireflies light up the country paths, and in the distance, the melody of the "Bayin Zuochang" folk music blends with the chorus of frogs and insects into a summer night symphony. This 200-kilometer stretch of karst poetry, sculpted over 200 million years, composes an eternal love letter—each peak a stroke of the earth's brush, each wisp of cloud an echo of the sky.

📍 Wanfenglin (万峰林), Xingyi City, Qianxinan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, China Wanfenglin, meaning “Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks,” is a jaw-dropping karst landscape in southwest China, where endless limestone peaks rise from green rice paddies like a natural wonderland. Located near Xingyi City, this UNESCO Global Geopark is one of China’s most spectacular — yet still underrated — nature destinations. Unlike other dramatic karst areas, Wanfenglin’s charm lies in its harmony: rolling fields, winding rivers, traditional Buyi villages, and jagged peaks form a dreamlike pastoral scene. Whether biking through the valley or viewing it from a high-altitude platform, the views are cinematic and serene. 🧭 Tips for Visitors: • Best visited in spring and autumn for clear skies and lush green fields • Rent an e-bike or take the eco-shuttle for a relaxing scenic tour • Sunrise and sunset viewpoints offer stunning light over the karst peaks • Combine with nearby Maling River Canyon for a full nature trip • Local ethnic cuisine and handcrafted silver jewelry make great souvenirs #Wanfenglin #XingyiCity #GuizhouScenery #KarstLandscape #HiddenChina #TenThousandPeaks #PastoralBeauty #UNESCOGeopark #BuyiCulture #familytrip #trip #travel

Oh my god, I just came back from Xingyi. I haven't recovered yet, and my heart is still pounding! 😭 I always thought that Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, and they are so beautiful. As a result, I went to Xingyi and found out that this place is the real "long-lasting" one! I regretted it so much, why didn't I come to this treasure town at the junction of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou earlier! The best thing is that there is no need to squeeze in the crowds, and there are so many delicious foods, and I had a lot of fun! There is a canyon here, which is called the most beautiful "scar" on the earth, and the most beautiful peak forest in China that even Xu Xiake has visited⛰️. I experienced the Buyi people's market and checked in at the very unique lake castle. Rice fields, peak forests, canyons, waterfalls, lakes, ancient villages, castles... There are many more, each one is beautiful to the heart! I went to several places, and the one that impressed me the most was: Wanfenglin is really suitable for playing all day. If you don't want to climb to the top, you don't actually need to buy a ticket. I rented a small electric motorcycle and rode around the rice fields, looking at the karst peaks along the way. It was so comfortable! You can also experience picking dragon fruit, fishing, or watching traditional tie-dyeing, which is very interesting. I also went to Jilong Castle, which is a bit far away, so transportation needs to be arranged. I navigated to Hongchun Village, which also does not require tickets. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the scenery of the castle is really beautiful and worth seeing. Wanfeng Lake is near Jilong Castle. You can take a boat to play in the water, or go camping and fishing with camping gear. The scenery is amazing! The fish in the lake are also fresh and delicious, you can try it. Maling River Grand Canyon is even more shocking! Students who study during the summer vacation seem to be exempt from tickets (probably equivalent to a few dozen Hong Kong dollars, but you have to ask clearly). I took an elevator over 70 meters high to go down, and then started hiking, going back and forth at the bottom of the cliff valley, which felt super awesome!

📅 Wanfenglin Hiking Diary 📍Location: Xingyi, Guizhou · Wanfenglin (China's Most Beautiful Karst Peak Forest, the Mysterious Code of Bagua Terraces) ✨ Soul-striking! When thousands of peaks emerged faintly in the sea of clouds, I forgot to breathe. At 6 a.m., I dashed up to General Bridge Viewing Platform with dew underfoot. In the mist, over 20,000 conical peaks suddenly unveiled themselves, like bamboo shoots breaking through the soil, with clouds flowing between the peaks. I frantically reached for my phone to capture a time-lapse but slipped on the mossy stone path, and my phone slid into the Bagua Terraces.

Folks, fresh back from Xingyi, I've got to share why July-August might not be ideal. Don't get me wrong—it's not about the destination being uninteresting (quite the opposite!), but these two months come with special considerations that could affect your trip if you're not prepared. Weather: Deceptively cool with hidden challenges Dubbed "Little Spring City" with an average annual temperature of 16°C, Xingyi sounds like a perfect summer escape, right? But July-August is rainy season 🌧️, making travel genuinely inconvenient. At Maling River Canyon, rain started right as I arrived—slippery boardwalks turned a leisurely stroll into a cautious "adventure." While the misty waterfalls created a unique atmosphere, the combination of rain and spray made photography nearly impossible. A real shame! That said, post-rain air is incredibly fresh, packed with negative oxygen ions—like breathing from an "air can." A small silver lining. Attractions: Limited activities and crowds Wanfeng Lake is a must-visit, but many water activities (like jet skis or scenic boat rides) are often suspended in July-August due to water level changes and safety concerns. Some attractions may even close temporarily—imagine the disappointment after a long trip! Wanfenglin and Maling River Canyon remain open but get crowded. At Wanfenglin, the sightseeing bus lines felt endless, and photo spots were packed. The canyon, usually serene, buzzed with noise, losing some of its natural tranquility. Food: Delicious but harder to enjoy Xingyi’s cuisine is outstanding—lamb noodles, chicken dumplings, gangzi noodles—each bite is heavenly. But during rains, many street food stalls operate unpredictably. I hunted for hours to find my coveted heziba (fried rice cakes), stomach growling the whole time. Still, the flavors make the effort worthwhile! Tips for your trip: 1. **Gear up**: Always carry rain gear (umbrella, poncho) and wear anti-slip shoes (sneakers ideal). 2. **Check updates**: Monitor attraction websites/social media for closures. If Wanfeng Lake is off-limits, spend more time cycling through Wanfenglin’s countryside. 3. **Avoid peaks**: Skip weekends/holidays to minimize crowds and queues. 4. **Ask locals**: Hotel staff or residents can point you to indoor or reliable food stalls. Despite these quirks, Xingyi’s karst landscapes, stunning scenery, and mouthwatering food remain unforgettable. With smart planning, your trip can still be amazing! 💕
