Explore a Real-Life "Wizard of Oz" and Discover Yelang Valley

Explore a Real-Life "Wizard of Oz" and Discover Yelang Valley I found a real-life "Wizard of Oz" in Huaxi Yelang Valley in Guiyang, Guizhou. It's a hidden gem and a must-see destination! I was immediately captivated by the mysterious and magical scenery. The valley is filled with unique karst rock formations that seem to tell the story of time. These rocks are not ordinary; they were transformed by artist Song Peilun over 20 years into a stone kingdom full of exotic charm. Walking along the winding path, I felt like I was in a world forgotten by time. The path is lined with stone artworks, each with a unique shape, some resembling animals, others like mysterious guardians. Each piece is full of imagination, inviting you to explore the stories behind them. Entering Yelang Valley is like stepping into the mysterious legend of the ancient Yelang Kingdom. Over 2,000 years ago, the Yelang Kingdom was as famous as the ancient Loulan and Qielan Kingdoms. Its glorious history is vividly displayed through the bricks, tiles, and plants here. In Yelang Valley, you can enjoy the perfect blend of nature and art. The quiet forest is occasionally filled with the sound of birds, adding a touch of vitality to the tranquility. The ancient stone houses are scattered throughout, quietly telling stories of the past. Walking on the pine needle-covered paths and breathing in the fresh air is a relaxing experience. If you're tired of the same old tourist spots, come to Huaxi Yelang Valley and experience its unique charm. It's about a 50-minute drive from downtown Guiyang. A magical adventure awaits you, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with this enchanting place!
