Peak Forest & Buyi Villages: The Hidden Realm of the Southwest [Huajiang Gorge Bridge + Wanfenglin + Fenglin Buyi Village + Wanfeng Lake + Maling River Grand Canyon + Yunfeng Tunpu Village + Colorful Guizhou City | 5 Days, 4 Nights, Natural & Cultural Tou

    The journey begins upon arrival in Guiyang, the “Forest City.” After a private airport transfer, head first to Guiyang's cultural landmark—Jiaxiu Tower. Built during the Ming Dynasty, this pavilion stands atop Aoji Rock in the Nanming River. Ascend to the tower for panoramic views, where modern urban landscapes harmoniously coexist with classical architecture. Come evening, immerse yourself in Qingyun Market, a gathering spot for local trendsetters. Amidst its retro-renovated streets, this vibrant hub offers an array of delectable cuisine, creative boutiques, and the lively energy of urban life—the perfect starting point to savor Guiyang's youthful vitality. That evening, you'll stay at the Guizhou Hotel's Yingbin Building, recharging your energy for the upcoming journey through mountains and rivers.

​

Today you'll be awestruck by dual marvels of human engineering and natural creation. First, visit the world-class Huajiang Canyon Bridge. From the viewing platform beside the bridge, gaze down at this super-span structure—with a main span of 1,420 meters—straddling the deep “Earth's Crack,” feeling its extraordinary grandeur. Next, drive to Wanfenglin, famously described by Xu Xiake as “Among all the peaks in the world, only here do they form a forest.” Wander through this landscape, admiring the breathtaking panorama of tens of thousands of karst pinnacles interwoven with fields and villages. In the evening, visit Fenglin Buyi to experience rural life deep within the karst peaks. Afterward, proceed to Xingyi city for overnight accommodation.

​

After breakfast, tour Wanfeng Lake, whose emerald waters are crystal clear, surrounded by towering peaks along the shoreline. Take a boat ride to admire the picturesque scenery where “the lake lies among myriad peaks, and the peaks float upon azure waves.” Then drive to Maling River Grand Canyon. Follow the boardwalk deep into the valley floor. Look up to see towering cliffs rising steeply on both sides. Dozens of waterfalls cascade like silver ribbons from heights of over 100 meters into the deep gorge. Mist fills the air, and the roar of the waterfalls is deafening. Experience firsthand the multi-layered geological charm of karst landscapes. After the tour, drive to Anshun and check into your downtown accommodation.

​

After breakfast, depart from Anshun for Yunfeng Tunpu, home to descendants of Ming Dynasty garrison troops who settled here over 600 years ago. Step into the stone-built village to observe their preserved Ming-era attire (Fengyang Han clothing) and ancient earth opera, listening to echoes of history. Proceed to Longgong Cave, where a boat ride takes you through underground rivers. Admire the myriad formations of stalactites and stalagmites illuminated by colorful lights, accompanied by the thunderous roar of cave waterfalls—a scene straight out of a fairy tale. After the tour, drive to Guiyang for overnight accommodation in the city center.

​

​After breakfast, depart from your Guiyang hotel for Colorful Guizhou City to experience Guizhou's ethnic culture in all its facets. You will then be transferred to Longdongbao Airport to conclude your itinerary.
