I thought Guilin was very beautiful until I came to Xingyi...I regretted it too late!

Oh my god, I just came back from Xingyi. I haven't recovered yet, and my heart is still pounding! 😭 I always thought that Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, and they are so beautiful. As a result, I went to Xingyi and found out that this place is the real "long-lasting" one! I regretted it so much, why didn't I come to this treasure town at the junction of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou earlier! The best thing is that there is no need to squeeze in the crowds, and there are so many delicious foods, and I had a lot of fun! There is a canyon here, which is called the most beautiful "scar" on the earth, and the most beautiful peak forest in China that even Xu Xiake has visited⛰️. I experienced the Buyi people's market and checked in at the very unique lake castle. Rice fields, peak forests, canyons, waterfalls, lakes, ancient villages, castles... There are many more, each one is beautiful to the heart! I went to several places, and the one that impressed me the most was: Wanfenglin is really suitable for playing all day. If you don't want to climb to the top, you don't actually need to buy a ticket. I rented a small electric motorcycle and rode around the rice fields, looking at the karst peaks along the way. It was so comfortable! You can also experience picking dragon fruit, fishing, or watching traditional tie-dyeing, which is very interesting. I also went to Jilong Castle, which is a bit far away, so transportation needs to be arranged. I navigated to Hongchun Village, which also does not require tickets. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the scenery of the castle is really beautiful and worth seeing. Wanfeng Lake is near Jilong Castle. You can take a boat to play in the water, or go camping and fishing with camping gear. The scenery is amazing! The fish in the lake are also fresh and delicious, you can try it. Maling River Grand Canyon is even more shocking! Students who study during the summer vacation seem to be exempt from tickets (probably equivalent to a few dozen Hong Kong dollars, but you have to ask clearly). I took an elevator over 70 meters high to go down, and then started hiking, going back and forth at the bottom of the cliff valley, which felt super awesome! You must walk to the waterfall called "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping", which is really amazing! In short, Xingyi is really great, and it is the biggest surprise of my trip! Next time you go there, you really need to plan it carefully, you won’t be disappointed! 🥰
