Guizhou Scenery | Start of Winter, Guizhou's Winter Scenery is Beautiful as a Painting
The Start of Winter is here! It is the 19th solar term of the 24 solar terms, marking the beginning of winter. At this time, life begins to close, and all things enter a state of rest and storage. The climate also transitions from the dry autumn to the cold and rainy winter.
✨In Guizhou, the Start of Winter has a unique charm and offers a great travel experience.
The Panzhou Tuole Ginkgo Scenic Area in Liupanshui is known as the "Hometown of Ancient Ginkgo Trees in the World." During the Start of Winter, the ginkgo leaves are at their best viewing period. The ancient trees stand beside the farmhouses, and when the wind blows, the ginkgo leaves cover the ground. The front and back of the houses, the field ridges, the alleys, and the blue tiles are all golden, as if a rain of ginkgo leaves has fallen. Tuole Village, with its golden leaves, is so tranquil and ancient that it is intoxicating. Strolling leisurely here, enjoying the ginkgo scenery, feeling the pure rural life, and tasting the local roasted ginkgo nuts is simply amazing.💛
The Shiqian Foding Mountain Hot Spring Town in Tongren is also not to be missed. It has abundant hot spring resources, beautiful natural scenery, and a rich cultural heritage. In the cold winter, soaking in the warm hot spring water and enjoying the gifts of nature is an ultimate enjoyment. The ancient buildings and simple folk customs in the town will make you feel like you are in a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle.🛀
There is also Yuntai Mountain in Qiandongnan, which is the core area of the "Shibing Karst," a World Natural Heritage site, and has the world's only dolomite karst landform. During the Start of Winter, the mountains are shrouded in mist, and the magnificent sea of clouds often appears. Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the sea of clouds, it is like a poem and a painting, bringing a shocking visual experience.☁️
💕Come to Guizhou and feel the unique charm of the Start of Winter!
探洞主义
The hidden gems that will make your friends jealous are not in Zhangjiajie, but in Guizhou.
In Guizhou, China, there is a natural treasure unknown to the world - Shibing Yuntai Mountain. It is not only one of the UNESCO Global Geoparks, but also a national scenic spot. Walking into this magical land is like stepping into a peaceful and harmonious world far away from the hustle and bustle.
[Attraction Introduction]
Shibing Yuntai Mountain is famous for its "strange peaks and green waters", and the most attractive thing is the karst landform with various shapes and postures. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the whole scenic area; shuttling between the valleys, you can feel the magic of nature up close. In addition to the spectacular natural landscape, there are also rich ethnic cultural relics, such as ancient Miao villages, allowing you to enjoy the visual feast and experience the strong local customs.
[Itinerary Suggestions]
Day 1: After arriving at the destination, check into the hotel to rest and adjust your status. In the afternoon, visit nearby representative ethnic minority villages to learn about local culture.
Day 2: Visit the core area of Yuntai Mountain all day, including but not limited to Heichong Canyon, Baiyan River rafting, etc. In the evening, you can choose to participate in a bonfire party or taste authentic farmhouse dishes.
Day 3: If time permits, you can also arrange half a day to visit other surrounding nature reserves or historical sites, and then return to the city to end the pleasant journey.
[Food Recommendations]
You can't miss the mouth-watering local snacks during your trip. Sour soup fish, bacon fried bracken, glutinous rice cakes... Each dish carries the wisdom and emotions of the people on this land. Especially in autumn, the freshly picked wild fruits have a special flavor!
[Transportation Guide]
From Guiyang, you can take a long-distance bus directly to Shibing County (about 4 hours), and then transfer to a bus or taxi to the entrance of the scenic spot; self-driving friends can directly navigate to the parking lot of Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area. No matter which way you go, be sure to plan your route in advance and allow enough time to deal with possible changes in traffic conditions.
Shibing Yuntai Mountain is not just a simple travel destination, it is more like a spiritual journey, where you can find inner peace and space for self-dialogue.

"Four sides are cut, and it stands out from the clouds." The top of the mountain is like a platform.
Yuntai Mountain is located in the northern part of Shibing County and is a karst landform of Baiyunyan, 13 kilometers away from the county. Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area is a major part of Wuyang River National Scenic Area, consisting of Yuntai Mountain, Waiyingtai, Jiaoding Mountain and Datian Nao and other peaks.
Yuntai Mountain covers an area of about 210 square kilometers. The main peak, Tuanlunyan, is 1,066 meters above sea level and stands out among the mountains. Because the mountain is "four sides are cut, and it stands out from the clouds," the top of the mountain is like a platform, and it is surrounded by clouds and fog, hence the name Yuntai Mountain. On June 23, 2014, the 38th World Heritage Committee meeting held in Doha, Qatar, reviewed and passed the application for the second phase of the World Natural Heritage of South China represented by Yuntai Mountain in Shibing, Guizhou, and Yuntai Mountain became the third World Natural Heritage in Guizhou Province.
Yuntai Mountain is characterized by primitive natural ecology, celestial wonders, beautiful peaks and waters, Buddhist sites, Taoist temples and other natural and cultural landscapes. It covers an area of 47 square kilometers. It is divided into two major tourist areas, Yuntai Mountain and Paiyun Pass, with 24 planned scenic spots, nearly 400 kinds of rare plants in the mountains, and nearly 100 kinds of precious animals. It is known as the "plant treasure basin, animal treasure house" and is a treasure land for exploring the eastern line of Guizhou.
When tourists are on the top of the mountain and look far away, the mountains are surrounded by clouds, like a white dragon rolling, strange peaks stand tall and strange stones are exposed, deep valleys and forests are ancient vines, mountain monkeys climb and birds sing, the morning light shines through the pine forest, the light column is spotted, the mountain flowers emit bursts of fragrance, the thrush jumps on the branches and sings loudly, the ancient pine is tall and straight, and the mountain wind blows, forming a tempting landscape picture, which is praised by poets as "birds in the mountains".
