The azaleas of Baili are in full bloom, at the peak of their season

Bijie's Baili Azalea area is a national-level forest park, and now is the blooming season. Azaleas are blossoming competitively all over the mountains, stretching for a hundred kilometers, and they are all wild. The local Yi, Bai, and other ethnic groups hold a flower god worship ceremony every year on March 28, praying for peace and happiness.

Bai Li Du Juan, the most beautiful bloom!

Bi Jie, you really know how to enjoy the flowers. The mountain flowers of Bai Li Du Juan have bloomed, and missing them means waiting more than a year. Talking to the sightseeing car driver, he said that this year is the most luxuriant bloom in 12 years. Spring is harmonious and the scenery is bright, it's just the right time for Qingming outings. But it's really frustrating without proper preparation. Take advice, don't take the wrong path. 📍Address: First of all, the Bai Li Du Juan Scenic Area is located between Da Fang and Qian Xi in Bijie City, Guizhou Province, including Pu Di, Jin Po, Du Juan Hua Wang, and Jia Mu four scenic spots. The first two have scenic sightseeing cars, and the last two can only be visited by self-driving. This article only discusses Pu Di and Jin Po. 🎫Ticket: The full price for adults is 130 yuan, valid for 5 days after the first face recognition entry into the scenic area. The sightseeing car ticket is 70 yuan, and you can take unlimited rides with face recognition within 3 days. Tickets are booked in time slots, and the first activation must be within the reserved time slot, but you can enter the park at any time afterwards. 🚌Transportation: 1️⃣There are direct buses to the Tourist Distribution Center from Bijie, Da Fang, and Qian Xi high-speed rail stations. It's said to be every 2 hours, but actually, there are more buses prepared during these peak days, and they depart as soon as they are full. Early and late buses are guaranteed. Da Fang is the closest to the scenic area, but there are more high-speed trains from Guiyang to Qian Xi than to Da Fang. 2️⃣Key point❗️The Tourist Distribution Center is not the same as the scenic area entrance. Pu Di generally enters the scenic area from the West Gate Visitor Center. From the Distribution Center, take the free No. 1 City Scenic Bus (shuttle), and remember to get a wristband. To go from Pu Di to Jin Po, take the free shuttle at the Wu Cai Lu Visitor Center. 3️⃣Traffic control is in place near the scenic area, and taxis need to walk a few hundred meters. There are online car-hailing services, and it's been easy to get a ride these days. It might be difficult during peak times. 4️⃣The sightseeing cars in the scenic area operate from 7:30-20:00 on weekdays, and from 7:00-20:30 on Fridays to Sundays and holidays. These days, there are more waiting cars than people in line. The delay is due to face recognition and barrier guidance. Sometimes everyone lines up in one lane, while two or three face recognition devices are unused next to it. Just follow the guided routes when taking the sightseeing car. Walking is required between Zui Jiu Niu and Shu Hua Feng, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. 5️⃣Walking🚶‍♀️or scenic sightseeing car? If you can walk 20,000 steps a day, walking is no problem at all. If there's no queue for the sightseeing car, you can take it to save energy. If it's too crowded on holidays, it's only 1 kilometer to walk to Wu Cai Ting. Then, whether you walk towards Wu Cai Lu or Shu Hua Feng, it's a sea of flowers all the way. The scenic area signs are well made. The trails are quite narrow and can get congested when crowded. 🏠Accommodation: There are some hotels inside the West Gate of the scenic area, priced around 200 yuan, at the level of farm stays. There are some new apartments on the street outside the scenic area that seem to be a bit better. The newly opened Wan Feng is the best. 🌟Some suggestions: 1️⃣Off-peak thinking🤔. Since most direct buses or day trips don't leave until 8:30 and leave at the latest at 18:30, it means that the most beautiful mornings and evenings are less crowded. It's already very hot at noon now, so you can go back to the hotel for a nap. 2️⃣Pu Di or Jin Po? Or visit both? If there's no queue for the bus, it's feasible to run both scenic spots in one day. It's more comfortable to play for two or three days at a leisurely pace. Jin Po has a popular suspension bridge, and there are many travel groups. I think the best recent blooms are at Pu Di's Wu Cai Ting, Wu Cai Lu, and the highest point of the scenic area, Shu Hua Feng. There are spectacular large scenes, and low-hanging flower branches for portrait photography spots.

Baili Azalea Scenic Area

Baili Azalea is located in the northwestern part of Guizhou, in the central area of Bijie City, covering an area of more than 700 square kilometers. It governs seven ethnic townships including Pudi, Jinpo, Renhe, Dashui, Huangni, Shachang, and Bainuo, as well as two management areas, Pengcheng and Jiamu, with a total population of 150,000.

The best travel time Spring (March-May) In the late spring, it is the blooming season of Baili Azaleas. Azaleas of different shapes and colors bloom competitively under the sun's rays. The mountains are covered with azaleas, creating a majestic scene. Up close, the flowers compete in beauty, with people walking among them, enhancing each other's charm. From a distance, they look like clusters of fire, reddening half of the sky. Walking through the forest paths surrounded by flowers, one can experience the joy of nature with the fragrance of flowers intoxicating visitors and the chirping of birds startling people from their dreams. Summer (May-October) Baili Azalea is a paradise for summer retreat.

It is a place where one can truly 'breathe the forest', and its reputation as a 'Blessed Land for Health Preservation and Cool World' resonates both at home and abroad.

Guizhou - Zhijin Cave

Visiting 织金洞 (Zhijin Cave) was an amazing experience! I started early morning from Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou. I booked a car to take me to and pick me up from the caves as it’s about a 2 hour drive from Guiyang. This cost 800rmb. A taxi is slightly cheaper however, my taxi app (Didi) didn’t have any cars at the location. The admission price to enter the caves was 120rmb (worth every penny). After buying your ticket you take a free shuttle bus to the cave entrance. There are many different attractions within the cave. Beautiful, natural caverns with an extensive array of grottos, rock shelters and speleothems. The cave is well lit with informative signs along the way. There are also designated places to stop for rests and toilet breaks. The walk through the cave was highly enjoyable but long. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes. I spent about 2 hours exploring under the ground. Upon completing the cave walk there is a very scenic walk back to the shuttle buses. Here you can spend some time shopping small trinkets and having a meal. I stayed in Yoyo Hotel in Guiyang. The staff were wonderful and helped me to book the car. #naturalwonders #cave #china #unforgettableexperiences #travelinspiration #summervacation #naturalwonders#summervacation

Ha Chong karst cave, with distinctive Guizhou cave features, the cave entrance is covered with relics.

The wind of the grassland, the clouds of the grassland, the cattle and sheep of the grassland

There is no Guizhou in the west of Sichuan, but there is Asilisi, known for its grasslands. The Ertai Slope Scenic Area is accessible by self-driving for a leisurely stroll. Driving through the wilderness from low to high into Ertai Slope, one is greeted by the spectacle of mountains coming to court, and peaks gathering like a congregation. The roads within the scenic area are one-way, with many parking areas. There are viewing platforms at Tiankeng, Nümao Mountain, and Wanfeng Platform, where you can stop to climb and enjoy the view at leisure. The internet-famous 'Wave Road' adds a unique charm, and if not for time constraints, I would have walked it more than twice. At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the grassland is still lush green, with flowers sparsely dotted around. Campers choose their beautiful spots to settle in, enjoying the morning glow and the evening clouds. Cattle, sheep, and horses are the real masters here; they are not as tame as they appear. On the way, we were blocked by a herd of cattle for a long time, focused on filming only to be sneak-attacked from behind by a cow, and even saw a group of cattle snatching kebabs from campers. Entering Ertai Slope by car costs 100 yuan per vehicle, including the driver, with an additional charge of 10 yuan per extra person. There are camping hotels in the scenic area, as well as many snack bars.
