A place that boasts a strange terrain that looks like a bowl of rice has been turned over Manbonglim is located in Xingyi, Guizhou Province. Since it is originally a warm southern region, rape blossoms bloom and fall early, when the flowers bloom, it shows a truly enormous sea of ​​rape blossoms. When you walk between the peaks and rape blossom fields between the villages, you can feel a strange sense of peace in its uniqueness and strangeness. In particular, this place is famous for the world's largest karst landforms, and the view from the observation deck by riding an electric car is the best.. I was simply amazed by the doline fields and limestone erosion created by the earth science class. They offer bicycle rentals at the entrance, so I recommend that you ride them and tour every corner of the town.. #China #ChinaTravel #Guizhou #Xingyi #Karst #Manbonglim #Rape Blossoms

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 ☺️ #naturalwonders#camping#nationalpark#lakes

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."

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.

🎫 Tickets & Route Tips ✅ Understand ticket options: Wanfenglin entrance ticket costs ¥70, sightseeing bus ¥50, totaling ¥120. To save money, skip the ticket🎫 and explore villages at the foot of the mountains, enjoying rural scenery. Visit Shangnahui Village, Zhongnahui Village, and Xianahui Village to immerse in local culture. ✅ Plan your route: With a ticket, take the sightseeing bus along the classic route, passing Shangnahui Village, "Stars Surrounding the Moon," Bagua Field, Zhongnahui Village, Xianahui Village, Wanfo Temple, and more. Without a ticket, drive or cycle along the Nahui River to admire the peaks and fields, focusing on Xianahui Village for its rice paddies, charming homestays, and stunning views. 🚗 Transportation Tips ✈️ External transport: Try to arrive in Xingyi by flight✈️ or bus during the day to avoid nighttime inconveniences and safety risks. From Xingyi city, take buses like R301 or Tourist Line 19 to Wanfenglin. Avoid unlicensed private cars soliciting outside stations to prevent scams. 🚗 Internal transport: The sightseeing bus is convenient. If driving or renting a car, note there are 8 parking zones with 21 lots—avoid unauthorized private lots🅿️ or parking outside designated areas to prevent fines. Also, renting small electric tricycles is not recommended due to steering and brake issues. ✅ Accommodation Tips 🌟 Choose the right area: Shangnahui Village is close to the entrance but less scenic; Xianahui Village offers better views and unique homestays. 🌟 Check real reviews: Before booking, read guest feedback, including negative reviews and hotel🏨 responses, to assess cleanliness, service, and facilities. ✅ Activity Tips ✨ Be cautious with adventure activities: For paragliding or similar high-altitude activities, choose licensed, experienced providers with well-maintained equipment and professional instructors. ✨ Mind the timing: In foggy or rainy weather, visibility is poor for peak views—adjust your itinerary. In summer, avoid midday heat⏰ to prevent heatstroke. ✅ Dining Tips 🍴 Avoid overcharging: Check menu prices before ordering at scenic spots or nearby restaurants to prevent surprise bills. Skip places with unclear pricing or inflated costs. 🥙 Try local specialties: Enjoy dishes like fried rice with eggs, Buyi Eight Bowls, or sour fish soup. Ask homestay hosts or locals for well-reviewed eateries, avoiding tourist traps with high prices and mediocre food.
