National Geographic has rated it as the most beautiful place in China
Hidden in the mountains is a secluded village
A waterfall galaxy landscape that rivals Iceland
Traditional cultural villages with only the smell of fireworks
The strange karst landscape, the world in the heart of the mountain
After driving in so many cities in China, I'm still shocked by the sci-fi and dreamy Guizhou!
Lonely Planet's must-visit in this life top
Here, there are few people, the world is small, and the high-speed rail is directly accessible! If there is a paradise on earth, it must be here, I would like to call it the ceiling of niche and unpopular budget travel.

Attractions: Xianghuoyan Scenic Area
🚏Location: Navigate to Xianghuoyan Scenic Area Parking Lot (50 meters west of Tangshangying Bridge, Kaiyang County)
💎Strategy: Find the Qiaotou Fish Restaurant, you can park your car at this restaurant for a fee of 10 yuan. After parking, go down and there is a small road to the waterfall. If you can't find the way to the waterfall, you can ask the locals, they can tell you. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the Xianghuoyan Waterfall. The most attractive thing is a iron bridge in front of the waterfall, which is covered with moss. It's very photogenic, and you can also enter the waterfall.
❤️Tips:
1. It is recommended to bring an extra set of clothes, as the mist is heavy and you may get wet.
2. Be sure to wear non-slip shoes, as the moss is very slippery and there are no railings. It's a bit dangerous and not recommended for children.
3. Wearing bright colored clothes will stand out more, such as yellow or red. You can try long exposure, turn on the live view of your phone, swipe up after taking a picture, and click on the far right long exposure, it's super photogenic, you can try it.
3. Be careful of mosquito bites in summer, you can spray some floral water, and try to stay inside when walking on the narrow road, don't step on the edge, some soil is very loose and will collapse, be careful.
