[2025 Guiyang Attraction] Travel Guide for Ye Lang Gu The Story of Stone (Updated May)

I don't like group tours ❌ and I'm also afraid of signing shady contracts. ✅So, even though Guizhou is full of group tours, I still chose to travel independently. There's only one advantage to group tours in Guizhou: transportation. But after this trip, I found that it's totally manageable. 👀And independent travel is truly free!! I can make plans and choose attractions as I please. For example, most group tours wouldn't take me to Yelang Valley, which I really wanted to see. So, if you want to travel independently, sisters, you can refer to this⬇️⬇️ 【Day 1】✈️Shanghai - Guiyang 📍Stayed near Huaguoyuan Shopping Center, where there are tons of night markets. I indulged in the night market food; it was cheap and delicious. (Everything in Guiyang has chili powder🌶️... Changwang Noodles are worth trying. If you can't handle spicy food, be sure to tell them in advance! 【Day 2】Guiyang Yelang Valley🗿➕Travel to Libo County 🔸Morning: I've always wanted to go to Yelang Valley. I took a taxi🚖 from the hotel, which cost about💰20–30. The artist Song Peilun👨‍🎨 seems to have created these stone statues in his own image. The details are very interesting; the eyes and mouths are made of tiles. Seeing the comparison photo from 1997 and the scene in front of me now was quite shocking! There were some intangible cultural heritage craftspeople scattered around the park. It was admirable to watch them make all kinds of small things up close👍🏻. Later, I found a pottery workshop through a hidden back door and learned how to mold clay with the teacher👩‍🏫. 🔸Afternoon: I booked a ride through a ride-sharing app the night before🚗. It takes about 4⃣️ hours to drive from Guiyang to Libo (I heard that a high-speed train🚄 will open by the end of this year, which will be much more convenient). So, I basically spent the whole afternoon on the road. The two of us paid💰200+ for a direct ride to a Buyi ethnic minority town at the foot of Xiaoqikong. I think ride-sharing is quite easy to arrange. There was another guy in the car with us. 🥣In the evening, I enjoyed a delicious Miao cuisine dinner in the town. 【Day 3】Libo's Big and Small Seven-Holes Scenic Area🌊 You need to walk a lot, so be sure to wear sneakers👟 on this day. Don't believe the vendors who say you need flip-flops for playing in the water. Don't believe them‼️‼️ My feet🦶🏻 got a huge blister from wearing flip-flops🩴 all day, 55555😭

This time I came to Guiyang, Guizhou, to visit this mysterious place! [Ye Lang Valley Travel Guide] 🔸Ye Lang Valley is a fantasy castle built by artist Song Peilun over 20 years using stones. It not only has unique stone landscapes, but also rich ethnic cultural elements. 🔸There are many exquisite ethnic accessories and interesting intangible cultural heritage experiences in the scenic area, which are popular among girls. However, when buying accessories, pay attention to the quality and price to avoid being taken advantage of. 🔸To take beautiful photos, it is recommended to arrive at the scenic area at around 9 am, when there are relatively few tourists, and you can easily take satisfactory photos. At the same time, the scenic area provides Miao and Han clothing rental and travel photography services, so you don't have to worry about missing beautiful moments. 🔸It should be noted that Ye Lang Valley is not particularly large, and if you just take a rough tour, you can finish it in about 30 minutes. Therefore, it is best to visit it together with nearby attractions, such as Qingyan Ancient Town, Huaxi Park, Shili River Beach, Tianhetan, and Confucius Academy. [One-day Tour Route Recommendation] 🔸Morning: First arrive at Ye Lang Valley, immerse yourself in the mysterious atmosphere of the stone castle, and feel the charm of art. 🔸Noon: Depart from Ye Lang Valley and head to Qingyan Ancient Town. It is one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou, with a long history of 600 years. It is an ancient town built of stone, preserving a large number of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Taste local specialties in the ancient town to replenish your energy. 🔸Afternoon: After visiting Qingyan Ancient Town, head to Shili River Beach. The streams here are gurgling and the trees are lush, making it a great place to relax and enjoy your leisure time. [Route Guide] 📍Ye Lang Valley, Huaxi District, Guiyang, Guizhou Province 💰Ticket: CNY 20 🈺Time: 8:30 - 19:00 (last entry at 18:30) 🚇Light Rail Line 3 "Langfengguan Station" Exit D, taxi fare is about CNY 10 🚗Self-driving: Navigate to "Ye Lang Valley" (since it is far from downtown Guiyang, self-driving or taking a taxi is more convenient) ⚠️Tips: 🔸When renting clothes, check carefully whether the clothes are in good condition, and confirm again when returning them to avoid unnecessary trouble. 🔸Take care of the environment during the tour, do not litter, and maintain the beautiful scenery together.

I went to Guizhou in the first half of the year. After coming back, he told everyone about those mysterious things like a demon. Low-key and treasure-hidden villages and buildings. My travel companion did not let me go, Asked to take her along for the trip. So, I visited Guizhou again... . ✈️【Itinerary】 ✅D1-2: Guiyang - Yelang Valley - Wujiang Village - Kaili ✅D3: Kaili - Xiasi Ancient Town - Huangping Feiyun Cliff - Langde Miao Village - Kaili ✅D4: Kaili-Xiuli Tao Intangible Cultural Heritage Market-Huanggang Dong Village . 📌【Tips for playing】 ✅Huaxi Yelang Valley: A stone kingdom built by one person in 20 years, full of exotic atmosphere, 20 yuan ticket, take a lot of photos. ✅Wujiang Village: Take a rowboat to see the stilt houses on the blue waves of Wujiang River during the day, and watch the bright lights in the mountains in the evening.

Ancient hand embroidery is so charming! . 🏨【Food and accommodation recommendations】 ✅Accommodation: Hotels in Wujiang Village are relatively expensive, so it is recommended to stay in a B&B nearby. Living in Kaili is near Zhongbo and Kaili No. 1 shopping mall, so it is convenient to visit the market and you can travel back and forth to several Dong villages on the same day. ✅Eat: Kaili recommends [Small ears boiled in clear water], [Longdatou Pao Tang Restaurant]

🗿 Take note: This is the reason I came to Guiyang. In fact, before this trip, the reason why I chose Guiyang, apart from the cuisine, was that Yelang Valley really was a place I longed to visit, to experience the shock. So, the next morning, the first stop we made was to Yelang Valley. ————————— Name: Huaxi Yelang Valley Address: Intersection of Siyang Road and Huayan Road, Huaxi District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province Open: 08:30-19:00, no entry after 18:00 Ticket: 20 yuan ————————— 🗿 Walking into Yelang Valley, I originally thought it was an ancient village with some folk characteristics and rugged stone statues, but as I walked further in, passing through the winding paths and into the suddenly clear valley beside the mountains, my goodness! It was stunning, so shocking! 🌟 Shocking Stepping into Yelang Valley, the first sight is shocking. Walking down the stone steps into the valley, surrounded by mountains, stand the astonishing stone statues. Walking among them, every direction offers a finely carved, shocking scene, and the area is vast, visually magnificent, breathtaking. 🌟 Bizarre The stone statues have a bizarre tribal texture, as if they have been gone for many years. The bizarre totem-like images have an indescribable sense of wonder. Regarding these bizarre stone statues, I can't say what they mean, I only know that their strangeness is fascinating. 🌟 Mysterious This place seems like an ancient, lost mysterious tribe. A winding river stretches across the mysterious valley, as if it's a long-standing relic of civilization. Standing in this valley, looking up, it feels like being transported to a place never reached before. 🌟 Artistic Rugged paths, city walls, castles, stone bridges, this is a natural open-air art gallery, where each stone sculpture is exquisitely detailed and unique. The so-called 'Yelang Valley' is the Yelang imagined by artists, a creation of twenty years, presented before the world. 🗿 This is undoubtedly one of the most impressive attractions I have visited recently. Laughter, anger, eeriness, horror, all kinds of stone statues converge in this mysterious world, making it a great photo spot. The ticket is also cheap, worth a visit, and makes the trip worthwhile.

An Indian style would be awesome~ 1 person, 20 years, forging a mysterious tribe. "The arrogance of Yelang" is a well-known story, appearing in the Yelang ancient country more than two thousand years ago during the Qin and Han dynasties, alongside the ancient Loulan and ancient Qiuci countries, flourishing for a time and renowned throughout the world. Crossing through the mysterious tunnels of history, the charm of Yelang culture is endless. In a Yelang valley in Guizhou, modern imagination of ancient Yelang is fully integrated. Using the phrase "unknown to the world" to describe Nightingale Valley is very appropriate. Before entering the scenic area, a forest blocks out the noise from the city. Looking around, all you see are trees, but once you pass through the Masson pine forest, you discover a hidden paradise. The canyon is long and deep, like a giant tear in the earth. Walking along the valley floor, you'll come across small bridges and flowing water, making for a pleasant journey. Looking up from below, the white clouds are far away, and the towering cliffs are breathtaking! Here is the Nightman under the command of Song Peilun, an artist who has returned from traveling in America. When living in the United States, Song Peilun created "Nightman Castle, Nightman Totem, Nightman Masks", and in China, he also created large-scale Nightman national works such as "Devil City, Nightman Valley", as well as many artworks related to Nightman culture. Nightman Valley is Song Peilun's masterpiece among the green mountains and clear waters.

Getting There - a Didi is around 45 minutes from Guiyang city center and takes up to 40 minutes. The outside is clearly identifiable because you can already see columns of stone heads lining up. A ticket will cost around 65rmb. Attractions - This is, as they like to call it "the story of stone", these big facial pillars all lined up in rows are in itself an attraction, there's also a castle you can gaze upon and enjoy the waterway dividing them. Food & Restaurants - there are some small vendors inside and out selling water, drinks and small snacks. Shopping - This is the only place I picked up a souvenir, as the stone head shapes are so unique. #solotravel #staycation #urbanexplorer

If you’re in Guiyang and not sure what to do in the city, you should check out Yelang valley. Good place for a little walk and nice art to look at. Location: Huaxi, Guiyang, Guizhou

Stone age. Big chunks of stones. Different sizes of stone heads. Standing as high as 20feet or even more. These are remarkably huge stone head castle. Solely built by Chinese artist Song Peilun. Mr. Song designed and built the stone castle in the barren forest with the theme of Nuo's opera's facial make up, masks and characters, and the materials of stones, pottery pieces, and pots that can be seen everywhere, based on a local mountain shape, river direction and its original state. The castle is the half of the two main attractions inside the Huaxi Yelang Valley park. #solofemaletraveler #explorechina #birthdaytreat

Spend a couple hours exploring these unique stone statues near Guiyang. The park is not very big so 1-2 hours should be plenty. There’s quite a few vendors selling a drinks and snacks and a gift shop with themed art to purchase. If you want to take photos get there early. The sun can create some unattractive shadows so go on a cloudy for better photos. Cost - 20 rmb Getting There - Drive about 45 minutes from the Guiyang city center. Take a didi there if you don’t have a car. I was easily able to find one coming back too. #summervacation #chinatravel #guiyang #guizhoutravel #guizhou #guizhoutrip #urbanexplorer

This holiday I decided to pick a completely random destination just from looking at a map of China. I decided on Guiyang as I hadn't seen much about it on social media. I am extremely happy with this choice. On the first day we went to the Stone Head Castle built by Song Peilun during his 70s. Each head is uniquely designed and there are more than 200 stone heads on the grounds. This project took him 20 years. From the city, you can take a taxi for 70rmb and that takes 45mins OR you can take a bus for 2 hours. There are plenty of food vendors on site and lots of souvenir shops. The cost of an entry ticket is 20rmb. #guiyang #guizhoutravel #chinatravel #tigeryear2022 #stoneheads #travels #travel Inspiration

Yelang Valley was a very unique and fun trip! It’s a 15 minute drive from Qingyan Ancient Town and about a 45 minute drive from Guiyang. I travelled by taxi which was both easy and cost effective. Admission price was 40rmb and I spent around an hour at the site. A huge stone castle has been built with numerous stone heads dotted around and throughout the grounds. The heads were rather comical, and there seemed to be a stone faced figure to represent all the emotions you can think of. There is also a beautiful river that flows through the grounds. #travelinspiration #awesomepic #summervacation #summervacation

Huangguoshu Waterfall The attraction is far from the city center It was very crowded and you had to queue for an hour to enter the Water Curtain Cave. It is not recommended to go there during holidays. Xijiang Miao Village It is mainly for night view, and the rest is too commercial. It is very far from the city center. It is recommended to charter a car or join a day tour. You don't need to stay too long. Tianhetan Resort The most exciting itinerary is to take a boat and explore the caves, which is worth a visit. Huaxi Yelang Valley Stone Kingdom, admire some special designs, and it takes half an hour to visit. Qingyan Ancient Town The whole ancient town is too commercialized, with street shops of all sizes.

Huaxi Yelang Valley is a beautiful valley located in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, where natural charm and rich history come together. With a clear river flowing through the valley and surrounded by lush mountains, the area offers tranquility and healing to visitors.

In particular, the hiking trail along the river is spectacular, allowing you to spend a comfortable time while enjoying the beauty of nature. At night, the valley is enveloped in a fantastic atmosphere and the sky is filled with stars. This place, where the quiet nighttime flows, is the perfect spot to escape from busy daily life and refresh both body and mind. #Let's go to China
