Step into the Idyllic Karst Landscape

Travel Guide to Wanfenglin, Guizhou: Wanfenglin, located in Xingyi City, Guizhou, is one of China's most beautiful karst peak forests. With over 20,000 rolling peaks resembling a natural ink painting, it's hailed as a "wonder of the world." Whether for photography, hiking, or countryside strolls, Wanfenglin will captivate you. 📅 Best Time to Visit ✅ March-May: Rapeseed flowers bloom, painting fields golden—prime photography season. ✅ June-August: Emerald rice paddies shrouded in mist, perfect for summer escapes. ✅ September-October: Golden rice waves and enchanting autumn colors, ideal for hiking. ❌ Winter (November-February): Scenery is simpler but with fewer crowds, great for peaceful visits. 🚗 Transportation Guide 1. How to Get to Wanfenglin? - ✈️ Flight: Arrive at Xingyi Wanfenglin Airport, then take a 30-minute taxi to the scenic area. - 🚄 High-speed rail: From Guiyang North Station to Panzhou/Pu'an County Station, then transfer by bus or shared car (~1.5 hours). - 🚌 Bus: Direct buses to Xingyi from Guiyang, Kunming, Anshun, etc. 2.
