A Hidden Gem in Guizhou! Explore the Enchanting Yaoshan Mountains

Yaoshan ancient village is unbelievably beautiful in spring‼️ I discovered a fairyland-like, pristine hidden gem in Libo, Guizhou. Stilt houses surrounded by ancient trees, terraced fields shrouded in mist, and intangible cultural heritage artisans teaching you how to plant succulents in bamboo tubes🌿. This is the most healing way to celebrate Arbor Day! ——📸Must-See Spots in Spring—— ❶「Lapian Ancient Village」 Open the bamboo gate and enter a real-life fairytale world! Stand on the viewing platform when the morning mist rolls in, and gaze upon the centuries-old granaries and the rolling mountains. Watch Yao women carrying bamboo baskets as they walk across the stone paths, as if time has stood still. ❷「Yao Eco-Handicrafts」 Create your own unique plants using bamboo tubes and tree bark! Intangible cultural heritage inheritors will teach you how to plant moss and succulents on natural materials (you can take them home‼️). Embrace the feeling of spring in the palm of your hand~ ❸「Ancient Tree Blessing Corridor」 36 ancient trees at the entrance of the village are adorned with red ribbons. Tie your Arbor Day wish card📝 and take photos under the intertwined vines. The dappled light and shadows make for amazing pictures! ❹「Yaowang Cave Exploration」 Venture deep into the karst cave to find the "Emerald of the Earth". The stalactites reflect an emerald glow under the lights, and there's even a natural mini-forest inside🌿 (the guide said the negative oxygen ions inside are off the charts!). ——🍃Special Arbor Day Activities—— ✅Traditional Tree Planting Experience Dress in Yao attire and join the villagers in planting saplings on the terraced fields using traditional tools🌱. Receive a special tree tag and an electronic certificate – a truly meaningful experience! ✅Mountain Tea Party Enjoy an afternoon tea party under ancient banyan trees, complete with Yao herbal sachet tea. Savor wild ancient tree tea paired with glutinous rice, and relax to the sounds of birdsong~ ✅Nighttime Firefly Viewing April is the peak season for fireflies! Follow the guide to the bamboo forest in the back mountain at night and witness thousands of fireflies dancing above the ancient village, like a scene from a fairytale✨. ——📌Tips—— 📍Location: Yaoshan Ancient Village, Libo, Guizhou 🚗Transportation: 2-hour drive from Guiyang / 1-hour high-speed train ride 🎫Tickets: Original price 100 RMB, 50% off for spring activities! 👗Outfit: Light-colored cotton and linen dress + straw bag, Yao costumes available for rent at 30 RMB/set 🍱Food: Must-try Yaoshan chicken at the long table banquet!
