Xingyi has suffered and returned, I really don't recommend going there
My dears, I am a travel expert who is keen on exploring niche treasures. Recently, I took advantage of the good spring weather in April to go to Xingyi. This trip felt like I had entered a paradise with beautiful scenery and various customs. Now I will share the super detailed guide with you.
📍Xingyi, located in the southwest of Guizhou, is a city favored by nature👏! It has the breathtaking Maling Canyon, the majestic Wanfenglin, the vast Wanfeng Lake, and the strong Buyi and Miao customs. The mountains and rivers here are not made up, but are breathtakingly beautiful. It is a great place to rest the soul and feast the eyes on the wonders.
🚗【Transportation Guide】
✈️If you take a plane, you will land at Xingyi Wanfenglin Airport. Although the airport is not big, the routes are gradually becoming more abundant. After getting off the plane, there are buses and airport buses to the city. It is even more convenient and fast to take a taxi. You can start your journey in a flash.
🚌Starting from Guiyang, you can take the high-speed rail to Panzhou Station and then take a bus to Xingyi; you can also take a long-distance bus directly, and you can enjoy the unique karst landforms of Guizhou along the way, but the journey is a bit long, so be mentally prepared. The main form of transportation in the city is public transportation. Some attractions have special tourist buses, and you can pay with Alipay or WeChat QR code. If you want to go to more distant attractions such as Wanfenglin and Maling Canyon, renting a car and driving yourself is a very pleasant choice. You can enjoy the scenery along the way and stop at any time to take photos and check in.
🗺【Recommended tour routes】
Day 1: Wanfenglin - Xia Nahui Village
In the morning, we went to Wanfenglin and took a sightseeing bus through the peaks and forests. The pastoral scenery and karst landforms were perfectly integrated. The scenery in front of us was like a slowly unfolding landscape painting😃. At noon, try the Buyi Eight Bowls. Each bowl is full of local characteristics, especially the braised pork, which is fat but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and is super satisfying 😋. In the afternoon, go to Xia Nahui Village, stroll along the country roads, feel the folk customs of the Buyi ethnic group, visit specialty shops, and experience the slow rural life. It is so comfortable to fall asleep at night accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds.
Day 2: Maling Canyon - Wanfeng Lake
In the morning, we went to Maling Canyon and stood on the edge of the canyon to look down. The abyss was deep and the rocks were rugged. The shock was soul-stirring. At noon, we enjoyed beef with sour bamboo shoots near the canyon. The unique sour taste of the bamboo shoots and the tenderness of the beef created a wonderful taste. In the afternoon, we went to Wanfeng Lake, rented a small boat, and sailed on the blue waves. We looked at the scenery of the lake and mountains, felt the tranquility and tolerance of nature, and couldn’t stop taking photos and checking in. 📷
Day 3: Guizhou Chun Scenic Area - Return
During the day, go to Guizhou Chun Scenic Area, where there are romantic flowers, exciting amusement facilities, and fresh air. Take a stroll and relax your body and mind. Have a meal of chicken dumplings for lunch, which is a mixture of sweet and salty, with the deliciousness of the chicken and the softness of the dumplings blending perfectly. In the afternoon, we packed our bags and returned with great memories.
