2024 Xingyi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)
Located in the southwestern part of Guizhou Province, Xingyi is the capital of Qianxinan Bouyei and Hmong Autonomous Prefecture. It has always been one of Southwestern China's important business centers. The Maling River Gorge—a national-level scenic spot found here—is very spectacular. Generations upon generations of Bouyei ethnic people have lived here. Singing and dancing beside the river, they were accompanied by the soft sounds of wood and leaves. As they sang affectionate love songs, they created a charming rural scene.

'There are so many peaks in the world, only here are the peaks forested.' The vast karst landscape surrounds more than 6,000 acres of rice fields, dotted with Bouyei tribes with gray tile walls, which can be described as extremely beautiful.
Wanfenglin is the largest and most typical karst peak forest in China.

It is recommended to stay in the homestay next to the rapeseed field, very comfortable. Wanfenglin scenic area is very large, and there are rapeseed fields everywhere in the scenic area.
It's so dreamy! I actually moved into a giant mushroom village!
The long National Day holiday is coming soon~ Are you getting restless again?
I just came back from Xingyi, Guizhou, and I highly recommend everyone to come to Xingyi to play and experience the unparalleled pastoral healing scenery. I also discovered a fun-filled mushroom luxury hotel, where the mushroom houses are like giant mushrooms growing out of the forest, which is simply too suitable for family trips.
The hotel's houses are mushrooms of different shapes, such as wild chicken fungus, green head fungus, red fungus, boletus, and buckwheat fungus, etc. Full of fairy tale colors, it reminds me of the mushroom house where the Smurfs live.
There is also an infinity pool in the hotel where you can see the Wanshenglin, it's so romantic!
I especially recommend everyone to rent a Snoopy electric car, you can freely gallop on the marathon track more than 20 kilometers long in Wanshenglin! For those who like quietness, I recommend finding a cafe where you can see the wind blowing the rice waves and sit leisurely for an afternoon!
Xingyi Mushroom Luxury Hotel
At the north entrance of Xingyi Guizhou Chun Scenic Area
In Guizhou, there is a real-life Jurassic World: Maling River Gorge
Located in Xingyi City, Guizhou, the Maling River Gorge is deep and rapid, with hanging walls like weaving, silver waterfalls flying down, and the gorge is characterized by fissure valleys, group waterfalls flying horizontally, and calcium carbonate wall hangings. The gorge is 74.8 kilometers long, 50 to 150 meters wide, 120 to 280 meters deep, and the bottom of the gorge is 200 meters below the ground.
It was rated as the second most beautiful karst gorge by 'China National Geographic'.
The Maling River Grand Waterfall, known as the 'most beautiful wound on earth', is a typical karst topography.
The Maling River rushes through the cracks in the mountain walls, and the water on both sides pours down to form several waterfalls. The mist is filled with mist, like a fairyland. People can also walk under the waterfall to experience a real water curtain cave. Transportation
It takes 4 hours to drive from Guiyang. You can choose to take a bus directly to the scenic area, or take a taxi to the scenic area after arriving at Xingyi Railway Station. Ticket
The ticket is 70 yuan, and the escalator is 40 yuan one way. Recommended route:
Xiaoqingshan Entrance and Exit - Visit the Elevator - Rain Beating Banana - Viewing Platform - Sky Castle - Sea Lion Hall - Wanma Pentium Waterfall Viewing Platform
You can choose to climb the mountain for about half an hour and exit from the Dachaiwo exit, or you can return to the Xiaoqingshan entrance and exit by the same way by taking the elevator (one way: 40 yuan), the latter is easier, the whole journey is 2-3 hours.
I went to Guizhou, and my friends all thought I had gone abroad
Unexpectedly, I came to Guizhou and found the niche check-in place in Xingyi, Jilongbao, this European-style building built on the island of Wanfeng Lake, like Swan Castle, and like Harry Potter's Hogwarts.
This dreamy castle is located in the middle of Wanfeng Lake, surrounded by Wanfeng Lake, and only connected to the land by a bridge. Overlooking from the air, it's really super beautiful.
'Wife's Romantic Journey' and 'Detective Star' have come here to shoot, you can imagine how popular it is. The castle 🏰 is not only stunning in appearance, but also can be visited inside.
The 3rd floor castle experience hall, library, queen's seat, medieval helmet, don't say really thought came to the European castle 🏰
The 5th floor castle secret room, there is a beverage shop. The 6th floor viewing platform, Wanfeng Lake is in sight. There is an aerial zip line on the 7th floor, you can slide to the opposite side, but you have to walk back, a bit tired.
After visiting the castle, you can go to experience the cruise, the whole journey is about an hour, cruising Wanfeng Lake, it has a different taste.
【Practical Guide】
Ticket 🎫: 60 yuan/person, parking 10 yuan, Wanfeng Lake cruise 80/person, ticket + cruise + zip line package 150 yuan
Food: There is a restaurant in the resort, you can taste the fresh fish of Wanfeng Lake, very delicious
Accommodation: There is a lakeside hotel inside, no need for tickets to stay in the hotel
Aerial photography: Jilongbao is very suitable for aerial photography, many beautiful photos are aerial photography, but the mountain has a magnetic field, it is easy to crash, try to fly within the line of sight
Tips: Guizhou is a strong fan, now launched the 'Machine Scenery Linkage. Fly Guizhou' discount event, four winter tour Guizhou boutique routes, as low as 99 yuan can sit on the plane to tour Guizhou, and can also use the ID card and boarding pass to exempt the corresponding flight destination scenic spot tickets, really too intimate.

Life is not only confined to the city and indoors, but also the mountain breeze is gently blowing, enjoy a trip, the soul's course
Slowly believe that nature is the slowest philosopher, the time that stops
In the embrace of the mountain, feel the tranquil life away from the hustle and bustle of the city, sit and watch the mountain about the homestay

Spicy Xingyi
Xingyi, in Guizhou is an amazing place to go. still not spoilt by mass tourism it is a blast to the past where people live life at a slower pace. This place is a typical farming community. Some of whom are renting out property and building hotels to diversify their income and protect themselves from the changeable nature of farming.
The local people make these spicy chilis for themselves and if your stroll around the area there are endless tea fields, that have been in use for a long time.
All in all, this is a place to see the team China, and not just any China. but rural China. Some people struggle. some people are prosperous. But what you really feel is a sense of community in the way people interact with each other and the way they embrace the tourists. been humble coming here and enjoy the country side. 🙂

Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks
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 ☺️

The… Castle?
Situated in the middle of a lake in the south-west of Guizhou Province sits one of the most random sights … a castle. Like a full-on fairytale-inspired castle.
You’ll have to rent a car to get here from town and the roads aren’t the best but in terms of unique sights that you really wouldn’t be sxpecting to get then you can’t get much more random than this.
For people wanting to snap some shots, highly recommend bringing a drone. The scale of the castle as well as the roads and paths around it don’t make it the easiest to grab without one.
There is also a hotel across the path if you would like to stay within sight of a European castle kind of thing but I would recommend just coming for sunset to grab some snaps and leave

Malinghe
Malinghe is a small city located in and around the Guizhou border with Yunnan.
While not the easiest spot in Guizhou to get to, it’s Yangshuo/Guilin-like mountainous landscape but without the mountains of people makes it a relaxing spot to spend the weekend.
With the Malinghe waterfall canyon you also get one of the coolest canyons in China.
Walk down to the bottom and you’ll find yourself along a refurbished path with waterfalls cascading down on both sides of the canyon.
Just be sure to check the weather beforehand. We went during the dry season and while you could tell it would be impressive during the rainy season, it wasn’t quite as impressive at that moment.

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."
## There are Wanfeng Lake outside Wanfeng Forest. Lake Wanfeng, the most southwestern, landscape painting. Two seas in Dali, Yunnan, and 76 in West Lake, Hangzhou. On the blue waters of the boat, people are in the middle of the painting. "It is not the Lijiang River, it is better than the Lijiang River." Among them, a section of the river is narrowed, and the mountains and rivers on both sides are continuous. The two mountains in the gorge rise from the water. The cliffs on both sides of the river are winding, the rivers are winding and winding, and the blue waves are rippling. "One fold of Qingshan has a screen, and one bay has a piano." Three Gorges. Beautiful. The most interesting thing is that the holes on the banks of the two banks are hidden secrets. It is the treasure hole of the local Tibetan treasure. In winter, the water surface drops 30 meters. Below, you can start raising sheep, and they climb to the mountains to drop the rope from the top of the mountain. Find a cave that you feel is hidden to hide your baby. However, I am curious as to what should I do if I can't find my own hidden cave or if I accidentally find someone else's baby? # Discover the beauty of the southwestern mountainous area##
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.
The village is small but very primitive, and there are no other visitors except us. The villagers are very friendly, just to not disturb their lives, I basically did not shoot people. The beautiful roof is my dish. The rafting of the Maling River is very commendable in China. The first is the length. The whole journey is 22 kilometers. The second is the scenery on both sides. Even if you dont see the waterfall, it looks very much like the Ayong River in Bali. A shoal, 22 small slopes, playing it is quite exciting, really screaming all the way, laughing all the way. The valley is particularly quiet, and there are a few bird humming sounds from time to time, flying a few butterflies, so that we are always surprised to live in the city.
Where did Dad go? To Yubulu Tiankeng!
Located in Xingyi City, this trumpet flower-shaped sinkhole is flat at the bottom and has a height difference of over 600 meters. The sinkhole is surrounded by strange peaks. 126 households live around the bottom of the sinkhole, with stone houses, stone walls, stone roads, woods, and bamboo groves forming a natural landscape. There is a spring on the eastern side of the sinkhole, which not only provides drinking water for the residents and livestock, but also irrigates over 200 acres of fertile land. On the western side, there is a water cave that drains excess water. This sinkhole has been called the largest sinkhole in China by geologists.
