[2025 Libo Hotels] Travel Guide for Qisu·Lajia Yao enthnic Themed Homestays in Libo (Updated Jul)

Hello, welcome to Orange's travel channel! This year, I brought my family back to Libo Xiaoqikong for a second visit. Compared to the rushed one-day trip last time, this time we took two days to explore slowly, not missing any beautiful scenery! We took the high-speed train from Guangzhou South to Libo Station, then a taxi to the scenic area. This year, the Libo Xiaoqikong ticket is valid for seven days, and the sightseeing bus is valid for two days, so friends with time can visit multiple times. · 🌈Day 1 We entered and exited from the east gate, taking shuttle buses to all the attractions along the way to save time and effort. On the way back, we took the shuttle bus from Wolongtan back to the east gate. ✔ First stop: Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge, where you can capture beautiful emerald lake water. Then walk forward to pass by: Laya Waterfall, 68-step Waterfall, and Broken Bridge Waterfall. I especially liked the Broken Bridge Waterfall; the shot of the rushing water from behind is very atmospheric!! (There is an uphill section near the waterfalls, which is the only uphill part today, but walking with breaks is not tiring, and it’s very cool beside the waterfalls.) ✔ Next, at the Stone Forest Station, continue by shuttle bus to Cuigu Waterfall. The Cuigu Wetland in front of the waterfall is also very beautiful. You can wear slippers to play in the water and ride bamboo rafts here. 30 minutes is enough. Then take the shuttle bus from the Wetland Station to Mandarin Duck Lake. ✔ Mandarin Duck Lake is one of today’s most surprising spots in my opinion. The water is so blue! It looks great when shooting from the boardwalk! There’s also a transparent glass boat and a sunflower sea 🌻. ✔ The last stop is the shuttle bus to the highlight, Wolongtan! The water is especially shallow and even more beautiful than Xiaoqikong. We happened to see a boatman showing off his skills. · 🌈Day 2 We spent half a day at the Daqikong Scenic Area, also entering from the east gate. You can take a boat tour both ways for only 20 RMB one way. The bamboo raft boat is quite atmospheric! I personally think Daqikong is also worth visiting. The number of visitors is not much less than Xiaoqikong! Plus, the original and spectacular forest, canyon, and underground river scenery are not found in Xiaoqikong. · Libo Qisu·Lajia Homestay was also a pleasant surprise on this trip!! It’s only about an 8-minute drive from Libo Station and Xiaoqikong. We stayed in a courtyard full of flowers under the mountains, even more beautiful than Dali! It happened to be a rainy day, and opening the door revealed mist swirling on the mountain, full of spiritual energy ☁. So we lay on the large terrace and deeply breathed in the fresh air! The backyard is full of hydrangeas and various beautiful flowers—no girl could resist loving it~ Sisters can wear dresses here for photos, have afternoon tea, and experience intangible cultural heritage handicrafts! There’s also a vacation-style swimming pool, but unfortunately, we forgot our swimsuits this time. However, the room offers Yao baths and foot baths, which we enjoyed thoroughly! Besides visiting the scenic spots, we spent the rest of the time relaxing at the homestay! · Guizhou is really perfect for people from Guangdong to escape the summer heat and vacation! Next stop, we’re heading to Fanjing Mountain. Stay tuned for the guide~

Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Libo lies a warm haven for the soul - Libo Qisu La'jia Yao Theme Homestay. Stepping inside feels like embarking on a mysterious and enchanting journey of cultural exploration, where every corner exudes the unique charm and essence of the La'jia Yao ethnic culture. The homestay's exterior design cleverly incorporates traditional La'jia Yao architectural elements. The wooden structure and rustic tones complement the surrounding green mountains and waters, as if naturally emerging from this land. Upon entering the lobby, you're immediately immersed in rich Yao culture. The walls are adorned with exquisite Yao embroidery, with colorful patterns telling ancient legends and stories. Handwoven bamboo baskets and rattan containers are thoughtfully arranged, showcasing the wisdom and creativity of the Yao people. The decorative mural behind the reception desk depicts scenes from Yao life - festive celebrations and diligent work - each detail vividly bringing to life this mysterious ethnic group's past. The guest rooms masterfully interpret La'jia Yao culture. The bedding features distinctive Yao printed textiles, with delicate textures and unique patterns that seem to connect guests with the long history of the Yao people. Traditional Yao silver ornaments hanging by the bedside shimmer softly in the light, their gentle chiming reminiscent of distant melodies from Yao villages. The rooms primarily use natural materials, with wood and bamboo releasing subtle fragrances that create a cozy and peaceful atmosphere. Opening the windows reveals either layered mountain ranges or flowing streams, where humans and nature coexist harmoniously in this enchanting space. The public areas are equally ingenious. The courtyard features traditional Yao drying platforms, displaying colorful fabrics and harvested crops, filled with the essence of daily life. During leisure time, guests can sit on the platform, basking in sunshine and gentle breezes while listening to Yao grandmothers share ancient songs and customs. The homestay also includes a Yao cultural experience area where guests can try traditional crafts like Yao embroidery and bamboo weaving, discovering the profound depth of Yao culture through each stitch and weave. As night falls, the homestay's bonfire party brings the day's joy to a climax. The roaring bonfire illuminates the night sky as Yao people in brilliant traditional costumes sing and dance around the fire. Guests join in, holding hands and dancing freely, experiencing the passion and vibrancy of the Yao people. In the flickering firelight, people from different regions and backgrounds gather to share in this joy and beauty, forgetting life's troubles and fatigue. Libo Qisu La'jia Yao Theme Homestay is more than just accommodation - it's a window into La'jia Yao culture and a bridge connecting visitors with Yao traditions.

|Staying in a hotel like this, I don’t want to go to scenic spots at all! . The summer vacation season in Guizhou has begun~ Every scenic spot is crowded with people. Zhou Wei and his best friend just found a bed and breakfast to lie down, feeling at ease and being useless for a while! ✅It is very close to the high-speed rail station and the Big Seven Kongs, and the hotel will also provide pick-up and drop-off services~ ✅For lazy cancer patients like us, lying comfortably is the most important thing. All activities and meals this time will be taken care of in the hotel. ✅If you arrive after 4 pm, you can start afternoon tea directly after checking in at the hotel ~ all kinds of fruits are available ✅I booked the hotel dinner in advance, which mainly consists of stir-fried hotpot dishes. All the dishes are delicious, especially the pork ribs! It’s so satisfying to eat meat! ✅Enter the "Little Sisters Night Drinking Time" at 9pm and order a few bottles of craft beer Remember not to add ice cubes🧊, otherwise it will be a bit bland ✅The breakfast on the second day is local specialty fresh-cut beef noodles ~ the soup base is very rich, but the beef is a bit hard, remember not to cook it for too long, otherwise you will not be able to chew it ✅After breakfast, my friend and I ordered two more drinks and chatted until noon before returning. ✅Room: The standard room and parent-child room we booked this time are similar in size. What is worthy of praise is that the standard room is really big! And it is relatively independent and has good privacy~ The room is really big, with a large bed and a tatami with a view. The first floor is a water view outdoors and the second floor is a terrace. Overall, my friends and I are very satisfied! ✅Environment: The entire hotel is really outstanding, the swimming pool and outdoor grass are beautiful ~ there is also a gym and tea room, and you can also book yoga in advance ✅We were so comfortable in the hotel that we didn’t arrange any attractions in Libo this time and spent the entire trip in the hotel! I had a super "wasteful" weekend with my friends, and I recommend it to friends traveling to Libo! Locked 🥳Babys, go for the duck🦆! Bring 🧳 to experience the relaxing time~
