    1. The environment is very beautiful and small but exquisite; 2. The service needs to be improved. Even though there are vacancies in the parking lot, guests are still asked to park in a parking lot 1 km away. I don’t know if it is for profit reasons; the tourist buses in the scenic area are still old oil trucks, and the rumbling noise is very loud. Other scenic spots have long been replaced with electric buses; 3. Overall, it is still a tourist attraction that is worth recommending.

    Xingwen Stone Sea is a treasure-treasure tourist attraction. The scenic area is very large, with stone sea, tiankeng, cave, Bai people's village and hanging coffins, as well as many amusement facilities. The overall travel is convenient. There are tourist buses at the high-speed rail station and when returning to the scenic area. You can save time by buying tickets, sightseeing buses and boat tickets, and return buses online. Generally, you can complete all routes in about 5 hours, and it is said that it does not require physical effort.

    I came too late. When I came to Pudi Scenic Area in late April, the peak flowering period had passed and only a few flowers were left. I heard that there were no flowers at all in Jinpo Scenic Area due to hail the day before I came. I walked around the whole area on foot and it was not bad. I will come again next time if I have the chance.

    Getting to Shunan Bamboo Sea is very convenient now; it's just a few minutes from the highway exit. The scenery inside the scenic area is beautiful, and you can even see pandas. I searched online and found the top-ranked hotel, which I heard is the best hotel in the scenic area: Shunan Cultural Tourism Resort Hotel. The hotel has very complete facilities, a swimming pool, beautiful scenery, and excellent service. I'll definitely come back next time I have the chance!

    A very nice scenic spot. I drank Luzhou Laojiao a long time ago, and today I had the opportunity to visit the distillery and learn a lot about the wine culture. I'm amazed; Luzhou is truly a wonderful place. The whole city is filled with its aroma—it's intoxicating!

    I was deeply touched after watching it. We who live in peacetime can never imagine how tragic the battlefield filled with smoke is. Looking back on the road we have traveled through wind and rain, we should cherish our current happy life, and we should not forget our original intention, keep our mission in mind, and always maintain a strong sense of responsibility and sense of responsibility.

    It's a beautiful village with stunning scenery and performances. It's definitely worth a visit. The best part is that it's not overly commercialized; it's full of old houses, which is very interesting and full of stories. It's also a great place for taking photos.

    As the saying goes, "There's no other cave like Zhijin Cave," you have to see it for yourself to know how breathtaking it is. It's best to bring a bottle of water and a thermos. The walk takes about 2 hours.

    It's worth going. The scenery is great and it's completely pet-friendly. The puppy ran happily on the grassland. The ticket price is 18 per person, and children and seniors over 65 are free. If you drive a car including a driver, the ticket price is 98. It's worth it. I love the wave road experience.

    [Must-See for Museum Lovers] An In-Depth Review of the Guizhou Provincial Museum: A Seriously Underrated Treasure House of Minority Culture! 🌟 Overall Rating: 4.8/5 Suitable for: Culture Enthusiasts | Families | Photography Enthusiasts | Students 🏛️ Venue Information 📍 Location: 107 Lincheng East Road, Guanshanhu District, Guiyang (Directly connected to Guiyang Metro Line 1, International Ecological Conference Center Station, Exit B) ⏰ Hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Last admission at 4:00 PM) 🎫 Admission: Free! Free! Free! (ID card required for ticket exchange) 🚶 Suggested duration: 2-3 hours (a full day is enough for a full day) 🏆 Three must-see reasons 1️⃣ A visual feast of ethnic culture Highlights: ✔️ Eastern Han Dynasty bronze chariot and horses (Han Dynasty craftsmanship even more exquisite than Qin Shi Huang's Terracotta Army) ✔️ Miao silver jewelry (a dazzling 20-jin "phoenix crown") ✔️ Miniature model of the Dong ethnic group's drum tower (you can see it without traveling to Southeast Guizhou) Immersive experience: The ethnic costume exhibition hall on the third floor is like stepping into fashion week! Try on virtual ethnic costumes and take photos (free AR equipment) 2️⃣ A Dinosaur Fan's Paradise: A Complete Display of Guizhouosaurus Fossils (100 Million Years Older Than Jurassic Park!) Prehistoric High-Tech: Paleolithic "Sharp-Edged Percussion" Stone Tools (Humans Were So Smart 50,000 Years Ago) 3️⃣ A Photo Spot The Architecture Is a Work of Art: Inspired by the geometric structure of the Dong Drum Tower, the light and shadows are breathtaking on a sunny day Influencer Spots: ✔️ Rainbow-Colored Ethnic Costume Wall ✔️ Suspended Bronze Chariot and Horse Installation ✔️ Giant Miao Silver Hat Sculpture 💔 Three Complaints Located in a Remote Location: Not in the traditional city center, with few nearby restaurants (but conveniently accessible by subway). So-so Guides: The rental electronic guides are rather dull (recommend volunteer guides). Low-Quality Cultural and Creative Products: The souvenir shop lacks design flair (please learn from the Palace Museum's cultural and creative products!). In-Depth Experience Report ▷ Exhibition Experience: The circulation is incredibly well-designed! Following the three main themes of "Historical Guizhou, Ethnic Guizhou, and Paleontological Guizhou," you won't get lost. Each exhibition hall has a rest area, making it family-friendly. ▷ Interactive Facilities: The children's area features puzzles and costume graffiti. The digital screen lets you "wear" Miao clothing and take selfies (though the response is a bit slow). Intangible Cultural Heritage crafting workshops are available every Saturday (reservations required). ▷ Unexpected surprises: The temporary exhibition halls on the basement floor often feature major exhibitions! The "Southwest Silk Road" exhibition, which just concluded in September, showcased numerous Burmese and Thai artifacts. 📝 Practical Tips Best time to visit: Weekday mornings (weekends are packed with study tours). Hidden bonus: Free luggage storage at the reception desk (so tourist-friendly!). Eating options: The museum only offers simple meals; we recommend visiting the adjacent CCPARK shopping mall (a 5-minute walk). Must-Bring Items: ID card and power bank (I can't stop taking photos).
