I really enjoyed coming here with my mom and husband. We were able to see the animals up close while still feeling safe, which was amazing! I was a bit disappointed with the panda area, as it wasn't as engaging as I had hoped, but overall it was still a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t mind coming back again next time. Highly recommended!

To be honest, the attraction surprised me a lot and exceeded my expectations. The sculptures and design styles inside are unique, full of mysterious primitive tribal atmosphere and strong artistic tension, primitive ruggedness and exaggeration, rich in ethnic elements, and it is very photogenic!
The Yelang Valley Scenic Area in Huaxi is quite nice and has local characteristics. It is a modern reproduction of an ancient story and helps people understand the legend of Yelang. Although Guiyang locals find it boring, it is worth a visit for foreign tourists to Guiyang. It is still very artistic and the various statues are made of stone and are also very exquisite.

Going to Pingtang, Guizhou to see the Tianyan is a great parent-child learning activity. Some things you have to see with your own eyes and experience in person to feel how shocking they are. You must take the shuttle bus, otherwise you can't walk on such a long mountain road by yourself, and it's too dangerous with so many cars coming and going. After leaving Tianyan, we also went to the Nan Rendong Memorial Hall. To be honest, as an adult, I was very educated. It's good to bring children to such attractions more often.
The China Sky Eye Scenic Area is very large, and the various exhibition halls there sell tickets separately. Time was tight, so I could only take a quick look. Overall, it was good, introducing astronomical knowledge, and was both popular science and interesting.

The overall scenery was amazing. As described online, the cave itself had numerous stairs. A 50-minute walk through the cave, with stops and starts, took about 35 minutes of which was spent climbing and descending stairs. Going inside was unnecessary. The waterfall and other scenery outside were much more beautiful and interesting than the cave itself. Also, I don't know if it was due to the off-season, but there were no staff along the way. The return bus never arrived. After a 20-minute wait, the one that did arrive was packed, so we had to walk back to the entrance, effectively wasting our return bus ticket.
There weren't too many people when we went there. The sightseeing bus took us to the scenic area to take a boat, and then we started to cross the cave and saw a small waterfall. Then we hiked through the cave for about 40 minutes, which was worth seeing. The scenic area in the latter part was just to see a small waterfall, which was not very interesting. If we didn't play the zipline, we would have hiked to the sightseeing bus parking spot. In fact, the highlights were in the first half.

I was on a business trip to Kunming and had a short half-day break. I took a quick tour of the Yunnan Provincial Museum and felt the historical changes in Yunnan that were different from those in the Central Plains. After closing, I went to the nearby Guandu Ancient Town to eat tofu rice noodles and snacks. Then I rode a shared electric bike to the Haidong Wetland for a walk to digest the food. I encountered a stunning sunset and sunset glow. It was a perfect half-day.
The best place to get to know a local is through a museum. Yunbo Museum is right next to Guandu Ancient Town. We went in the morning and it was quite crowded. Our tour guide said it was even more crowded in the afternoon, probably because many people visit Yunbo Museum before heading to Guandu Ancient Town.

The entire scenic area is incredibly large, requiring a car to get there, otherwise it's quite difficult. Before arriving, I thought it was just a vast bamboo forest, but after arriving, I discovered the scenery and attractions are quite diverse. The weather was average; a clearer, cooler day would have been much more pleasant. Due to time constraints, I only visited 3 or 4 spots, but overall, it was a good experience.
This hotel truly amazed me! The room was beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything from daily necessities to entertainment options. The bedding was excellent quality and incredibly comfortable. The surroundings were beautiful, and the front desk was very helpful in introducing us to nearby attractions and restaurants. Overall, it was a truly wonderful stay. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Nighttime tickets are cheaper, but wait times are shorter than during the day, allowing for a wider range of attractions, and the Torch Festival is also lively. The park's design reflects strong ethnic characteristics and cultural heritage. Objectively speaking, annual passes are relatively inexpensive, and for families traveling with children, you can rent very affordable B&Bs (over 1,000 yuan per month, or under 100 yuan per day), perfect for both study and leisure activities. However, the planned location fails to fully leverage the unique character of Dianchi Lake. Due to its locational constraints, its food, living facilities, and transportation are inferior to those of the main urban area. For example, the local economy (Jinning District) may be problematic. The road between the main urban area and the park is unlit early in the evening, and the road is uneven in some areas.
Adults can bring their children to play, and both adults and children will have a lot of fun. It is impossible to play here in one day. The food inside is relatively expensive, so it is best to bring some food with you. Some areas may be slightly cheaper, but generally it is more expensive than outside. Don't buy raincoats outside, as the water activities inside are all free. When I left, I took a picture of the beautiful sunset, which was very photogenic. It's a pity that I didn't get to play many activities with my baby, but the older children didn't want to leave after having so much fun.

The scenery is beautiful, but there's some traffic. Traffic jams happen because some people think they're smarter than others and skip the line, overtaking from the side lanes and blocking oncoming traffic. I've taken photos of these cars skipping the line and exposing them, hoping to foster public scrutiny and promote social progress. We can't always let those who skip the line take advantage while those with public morals suffer.
This is the location mentioned in Chairman Mao's poem "The Long March." "The Five Ridges wind like gentle waves, the Wumeng Mountains are majestic and majestic, rolling in the mud."
The great man's words are imbued with revolutionary passion. Back in 1935, at a time of national crisis, a group of Red Army troops, filled with revolutionary ideals to transform the world and build a new China, began their journey in the mountains of Jiangxi and Hunan. They were then forced into the Long March by counter-revolutionary encirclement and suppression. Eighty years ago, in today's peaceful times, have become a beautiful sight before our eyes. The hardships endured by the Red Army have become the roads we now face, the natural barriers we face now, and the world has been transformed!
Arriving at the Wumeng Grassland, we'll find farmhouses and hotels along the way, each with its own cattle and sheep slaughterhouse. Herds of cattle and sheep abound, leisurely grazing amidst the blue sky, white clouds, and verdant mountains and clear waters. Here, too, there are groups of horseback riders and herders grazing their cattle. Galloping on horseback through the alpine meadows was such a joy...
The road winds along, filled with seas of clouds, mountains, horses, cattle, sheep, and people unfettered by their own freedom, as well as tents and RVs of all colors.
There are also campsites and people trekking up the canyon. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the people taking photos and checking in admirably embellish the beautiful scenery, a true reflection of the people's yearning and pursuit for a better life!
The road may be long, but the journey will eventually lead to the destination!
We also rode the bus through the rolling hills, letting our eyes take in the scenery and our hearts wander freely. Someone played "To the Clouds," which was perfectly fitting!
Everyone sang and sang, taking in photos and checking in on the Cloud Plank Road. Occasionally, cattle and sheep would approach, unfazed. Many people drove along the mountain roads, but some cars unfortunately got stuck, causing traffic congestion in some sections.
The weather in the mountains is unpredictable. Just one moment, the sky was clear, then suddenly it was overcast. From time to time, clouds would blow in, and then a moment later, a steady rain would fall...
Perhaps this is the beauty and magic of the Wumeng Grassland. It's said that around 4 p.m., the Tyndall effect occurs, where sunlight scatters through clouds. If you're lucky, you might even witness the Buddha's light shining brightly. Due to time constraints, we didn't see it. We continued on our journey, passing through lush green mountains and clear waters, and then walked a long, poorly maintained road before reaching the Beipanjiang Bridge, said to be the world's tallest bridge at 600 meters. This is a great victory for our country's infrastructure, and it's a testament to the fact that mountain dwellers have transformed natural barriers into accessible roads, no longer feeling overwhelmed by the sight of mountains.

This was my first time rafting, and I decided to try it after watching many videos online.
The scenic area starts checking tickets and letting people in around 10:30 AM, so we arrived early.
Transportation wasn't very convenient. Online guides said there were buses, but after searching around, there were plenty of buses, but none with signs saying they went to the scenic area. I had to take a taxi, which solicited passengers, and they wouldn't leave until a full busload of people was full, whether going there or not.
The thrill level felt quite good for beginners, with both thrilling sections and calm waters where you could enjoy the scenery along the way. The water felt a little cold when you first got on the boat, but it wasn't cold at all once you started playing.
However, halfway through the rafting, a villager pulled the boat over and asked you to take a break, saying, "Let's take a break."
Overall, it was a very novel experience that opened up a new world for me. My friends and I have always considered it the most fun trip of our trip.
It's fun, but not suitable for those who like excitement. It's very gentle. After the magic cave, there is basically nothing to play. It is recommended to buy the first half of the rafting. The second half is to sit on it and freeze to death. It's so cold. Personal feeling, please don't criticize

The Guizhou Museum's most prominent exhibits include Miao costumes, silverware, musical instruments, and other artifacts. The sixth exhibition hall, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, fails to highlight the 24 bends along the Yunnan-Guizhou border, a lifeline for the war against Japanese aggression. Instead, it emphasizes how the great migration of education and medical care drove the development of Guiyang, Guizhou. In short, exhibition planning requires meticulous planning.
My daughter said this was the most worthwhile place in Guiyang! The guide, Xiao Li, is a graduate of Guizhou University. He quoted classics and interacted well with everyone. He also prepared many small gifts for the students who answered the questions. The two hours were very fulfilling.
