China's Emerald - Guizhou's own 'Jiuzhaigou'

Transportation: If driving, you can stop at either the east or west gate. The scenery is different on each side. The east gate features the Natural Bridge and Daxiqikong, while the west gate mainly has Mandarin Duck Lake and several water activities. Special Experience: Entering from the west gate, there are several different boat-riding spots in succession, including rafting and glass-bottom boats, as well as hand-paddled tin boats. During the Spring Festival period, it is the dry season with less water, so the rafting speed is very slow, and you need to paddle with bamboo poles. While paddling, there are small vendors on the shore selling fried small fish and roasted potatoes and other local foods. Accompanied by green water and blue sky, tasting delicious food offers a unique flavor. The Xiaoqikong scenic area also has a set of cultural and creative ice creams, with about four or five varieties, which are not easy to collect. However, this has also become a motivation for children to keep moving forward. Recommended Reasons: Libo Xiaoqikong, where clear waters reflect the vast sky, stone bridges lie at the heart of the waves, ancient charm calls the spring breeze. Green bamboo stands by the mountains, dancing in the midst of flying waterfalls, like a poetic and picturesque scroll, silently speaking of the rich years. Fine rain moistens the black tiles, moss marks climb the steps green, clear springs flow over stones, tinkling like the sound of a qin. Fish swim in the shallow bottom, birds sing in the emerald valley, a scene between heaven and earth, all hidden in Xiaoqikong.
