1. Autumn deepens, the sunlight bathes the world in a warm glow, even worries seem gentler.
2. Autumn has arrived, and the air is filled with the aroma of roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes, as warm as a familiar embrace.
3. Leaves fall gently in the autumn breeze, like letters from the past, telling tales of autumn's tenderness and tranquility.
1. Autumn is a poem, each fallen leaf a rhyming note, writing the story of time.
2. Autumn is nature's ink painting, its rich colors blending to create a serene and profound poetic atmosphere.
3. I wander through autumn's tapestry, encountering every golden hue, collecting the romance that belongs to autumn.
There are two ways to get to Viewing Platform No. 3: the official cable car (100 yuan per person) and a private shuttle service provided by local villagers (60-80 yuan per person). The scenery of the Longji Rice Terraces is truly beautiful and spectacular. However, the guesthouse was a bit cold and had no hot water, so I didn't dare take a shower.

Although the rice has been harvested, the scenery is still beautiful. The scenic area has thoughtful service. My drone fell into the ditch due to lack of power. The scenic area arranged security guard Xiao Yu to help search for more than half an hour without any reward. I am very grateful to the high-quality staff of the scenic area.
The Jiabang Rice Terraces truly live up to their reputation. Whether it's the breathtaking sunrise or the tranquil sunset, you'll truly experience the beauty created by humanity and nature. This breathtaking scenery, straight out of a painting, is not to be missed.

It's just so-so~~ Compared to the price, it's just so-so, with average cost-effectiveness~~~ There are many still life exhibits inside, and each person has a headset to listen to the explanation. If the children are more interested in history and culture, it's ok to walk for 2 hours, but I don't recommend eating osmanthus ice cream, it's too sweet, with a strong flavor of essence.
20230315 afternoon:
1. "Osmanthus Commune" is a new factory-run scenic spot with osmanthus as the theme. It presents the nature, humanities, applications and commodities of Guilin osmanthus in a comprehensive and detailed manner. The indoor audio-visual and scenery visual effects are shocking.
① Address: No. 18, Yangjiang Road, Xiufeng District, Guilin City.
② Transportation: Direct bus access, easy parking by car.
③ Peak season: None.
④ Time: 2 hours
2. The scenic spot has free guided tours, mainly indoors. Entering the exhibition hall, the welcoming mural is a nine-layer hollow carving painting, using the artistic expression of "overlapping colors". It is very beautiful after the tour guide turns on the lights. The content shows the top scholar, "Sun and Moon Twin Towers", Guilin landscape and other contents. Then we entered the history and popular science introduction hall of Guilin and osmanthus. Hanging above his head was a carbonized osmanthus seed that was confirmed to be 10,000 years old after carbon 14 testing. It was unearthed from Zengpi Rock in Guilin and is the earliest osmanthus seed in the world. The natural growth, varieties, and relationship of osmanthus with Guilin were introduced in the form of pictures, texts, wax figures, etc.
3. Entering the audio-visual hall, there is a 5D film introducing Guilin and osmanthus. The visual effects are magnificent and shocking, and the images of stepping on the ground make people feel like they are there. The popular science wall behind introduced the types of osmanthus. The next exhibition hall shows the application of osmanthus. Osmanthus is used in traditional Chinese medicine (there is a bronze sculpture of Li Shizhen compiling "Compendium of Materia Medica", which is a photo spot), osmanthus honey, aromatherapy, wine making, cosmetics, etc.
4. The next hall "Laoguan•Zhuangyuan Jidi" shows the relationship between osmanthus and the eight champions in Guilin's history. The colorful decorative lights above the head are densely hanging down like vast stars, and the color changes are extremely beautiful. The statue of the number one scholar holding a book and studying hard under the osmanthus tree turned the hall from a dream into reality. The semi-stereoscopic wall sculpture of the number one scholar, the simulated banquet before going to Beijing for the imperial examination (local officials would treat students to a meal before going to Beijing for the "palace examination" because the students would most likely serve as officials in the same court in the future), and the subsequent light and shadow animation were warmed up and paved the way. The animation was a segment of ancient figures projected on a painted relief painting, similar to a shadow play, and interpreted the last "three-level successor" in Chinese history (the first place in the provincial examination, the joint examination, and the palace examination. There are only 13 people in the 1,300-year history of the Chinese imperial examination, which can be regarded as a top scholar in ancient China that only appeared once every 100 years), the whole process of Chen Jichang from Guilin participating in the imperial examination and passing the imperial examination, eating osmanthus cake as a ration, and the strong Guilin style left a deep impression on me.
5. The next stop hall introduces the brewing of osmanthus wine. It is the first time I have seen the video of the star screen. It is very novel. The surrounding windows use colorful clay figures to introduce the brewing process of osmanthus wine. Then there is a visual feast of colorful wine bottles, densely packed ancient and modern wine bottles, and a wall composed of 2,888 bottles of dried osmanthus. With the help of mirror reflection, the visual effect is doubled. I can't help but admire the extraordinary skills of the designer of this scenic spot, but people with intensive phobia have to walk with their eyes closed.
6. Next is the children's amusement theme hall, where you can find the hidden osmanthus elves in the murals, which is similar to the game of "Everyone Come to Find the Difference". Further ahead are the ancient workshops and modern workshops of osmanthus products...
The word count exceeds the limit, and continue in the last picture.

The iconic village of Dongxiang has distinct characteristics and profound cultural heritage. The drum tower and villages are well-arranged, and the ethnic crafts such as batik are well-experienced. The world's intangible cultural heritage Dong ethnic group's big song is natural, simple, grand and pure, the singing is beautiful, and the bonfire party is wonderful. Overall good reviews
Throughout history, Zhaoxing Dong Village has witnessed countless changes. It has weathered countless storms, including the destruction and reconstruction of its Drum Tower. However, the Dong people's tenacious spirit and love for their homeland have ensured its continued strength. Throughout its development, it has continuously absorbed the essence of surrounding cultures, interacting and blending with various ethnic groups over a long period of time, gradually forming a rich and unique ethnic culture. This culture is reflected not only in their daily lives, including language, clothing, and cuisine, but also in their beliefs, art, architecture, and other areas, making it a dazzling pearl in the cultural treasure house of the Chinese nation.

The Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden lives up to its reputation as "the most beautiful cherry blossom garden on the blue planet." 700,000 cherry trees are in full bloom across 24,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) of land. The vibrant sea of pink and white blossoms, set against the backdrop of emerald green tea fields and sparkling lakes, creates a breathtaking spring scene. Strolling through it feels like stepping into a dreamlike fairytale.
As soon as you step into the park, it feels like you have walked into a pink fairy tale world. Seven hundred thousand cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the pink and white all over the mountains are as misty as clouds, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Surrounding it is the Red Maple Lake, the blue water of the lake, which contrasts with the cherry blossom forest, forming a picturesque scenery. Taking a boat to enjoy the cherry blossoms can experience a different kind of romance.
The facilities in the park are also relatively complete. The observation deck allows you to overlook the panoramic view and feel the shock of the sea of cherry blossoms. There are also folk music performances on the open-air stage, coupled with a coffee market and a cultural and creative food exhibition, so that you can enjoy a feast of culture and food while enjoying the flowers. The only drawback is that there is a disguised secondary charge for the shuttle bus and sightseeing bus in the park, which affects the play experience to a certain extent. But overall, the beauty of Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden is still worth a visit, and it is a check-in destination that cherry blossom lovers cannot miss.

Mount Fanjing is a Buddhist holy site and the Bodhimanda of Maitreya Buddha. It has an altitude of over 2,000 meters and its peaks are very distinctive. It is shrouded in clouds and mist, with a fairy-like atmosphere and magnificent scenery, making it well worth a visit!
Why can't the cable car be installed at a higher point? After getting off, it's an hour's climb to reach Mushroom Rock. The scenery is beautiful, but it's not friendly to the elderly or tourists with mobility issues. Climbing to Mushroom Rock is too exhausting; the Golden Summit is only good for viewing.

The hotel environment is fantastic, with stunning views. The night view and the view of the Miao village from the balcony in the early morning are particularly beautiful. Since it was the off-season, the manager even upgraded our room for free. The service was also excellent; a young man picked up our luggage at the North Gate. The room had a smart toilet, bathtub, capsule coffee machine, and the bathtub had disposable liners and mugwort bath packs. Most importantly, the minced meat noodles for breakfast were incredibly delicious!!! Five stars!!!
My second visit to the Miao village was the same as before, but with the rain, it felt even more dramatic. The price of five-color sticky rice had doubled, which is normal! Prices outside have been rising for a few years now.

In fact, it is more of a man-made attraction, the landscape layout is generally small, and the ethnic characteristics are not very prominent. The planning method and the use of restoration are acceptable. The food is expensive and most of the dishes are pre-prepared, which is unavoidable, but also understandable and acceptable.
Wujiang Village, located in Shangji Town, Bozhou District, Zunyi City, is built along the Wujiang River and covers an area of 5.08 square kilometers. Its core area is a cluster of stilt houses from northern Guizhou, incorporating architectural styles from the Miao and Gelao ethnic groups.
Admission: 120 yuan, nighttime admission: 80 yuan (entry at 4:00 PM).
Opening hours: 9:00 AM - 10:30 PM.
Duration: 120-240 minutes.
The village's core attractions include the Huilong Pagoda, the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, and the Jiang'an Fish Market. Within the scenic area, there are workshops such as the Heping Dyeing Workshop and the Wuzhi Workshop, where visitors can experience intangible cultural heritage techniques such as indigo dyeing, traditional papermaking, and bamboo weaving. The daily bamboo rafting performance is truly remarkable, featuring performers standing on one foot on a bamboo pole and dancing gracefully on the water. It's known as "a unique Chinese art form." Additionally, folk activities such as Miao songs and dances and bonfire parties allow visitors to immerse themselves in the charm of northern Guizhou culture. The evening performances are truly spectacular, and aside from the crowds, there's nothing wrong with them. It is recommended to spend a day here and stay overnight so that you can go in and out of the scenic area and not miss the night performances.

The Jinkeng Scenic Area within the Longsheng Rice Terraces Scenic Area in Guangxi is the largest of the three scenic areas. You can drive directly to the entrance and then take a cable car up the mountain to admire the terraced fields.
The scenery is breathtaking. We visited in October, just before the rice harvest, and the golden terraces were a magnificent sight. The rice harvest will begin in a few days.
It's only a two-hour trip to this scenic area, after which you can explore other terraced fields.
In the morning, I embarked on a journey to Longji Terraces with anticipation. Along the way, the scenery outside the car window gradually changed from the hustle and bustle of the city to the tranquility of the countryside, and my mood became relaxed.
When we arrived at Longji Terraces, the sun was shining. Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up, the terraces are stacked layer by layer, like waves of the earth, extending from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which is magnificent. The sun shines on the terraces, sparkling, as if covering the earth with a layer of golden gauze.
Climbing up the mountain road, you can feel the magic of nature with every step. The lines of the terraces are beautiful and smooth, like a scroll carefully drawn by nature. On the ridges, you can occasionally see hardworking farmers working, who are integrated with the terraces, forming a vivid pastoral landscape.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire terrace, the view is suddenly clear. The mountains in the distance are undulating, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the terraces are looming in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland. The breeze blew, and the rice ears swayed gently, making a rustling sound, as if telling an ancient legend.
The beauty of Longji Terraces lies not only in its magnificence, but also in the farming wisdom and cultural heritage it contains. This trip made me deeply feel the magic of nature and the wisdom of mankind, which made me unforgettable for a long time.

Covering 5,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres), it's six times the size of Huaxi Park and is ideal for hiking, boating, picnics, and wilderness survival training. The area around Nanzhumen, with its large mountains and dense forests, needs to improve bridge guardrail repairs and establish a leisure station.
The natural landscape is beautiful
- The lake and mountains complement each other: Guanshan Lake and Jinhua Lake in Guanshan Lake Park are like two shining pearls. The lake water is clear and the water level is balanced all year round. The water ripples and sparkles. The lakeshore is winding, surrounded by undulating mountains, shaded by green trees, and the mountains and waters are interdependent, forming a natural landscape painting.
- The beauty of each season is unique: in spring, cherry blossoms are in full bloom on Cherry Blossom Avenue, like clouds and rosy clouds, and peach blossoms, plum blossoms, etc. are also blooming in colorful colors; in summer, the green shade on the Plantain Avenue is like a cover, and the lush trees provide tourists with a cool summer resort; in autumn, the pine cones on the Cedar Avenue are full of branches, golden, and the colorful autumn leaves are intertwined, forming a colorful puzzle; in winter, the branches of various trees show a different style in the cold wind, and sometimes a thin mist rises on the lake, like a fairyland.
Superior and harmonious ecological environment
- Fresh and pleasant urban green lung: The park covers a total area of more than 5,500 mu, with a forest area of 4,160 mu. It is the urban "green lung" of Guanshan Lake District. The park is rich in vegetation and high in negative oxygen ions, just like a natural oxygen bar, providing fresh and pleasant air for citizens and tourists.
- Harmonious coexistence of biodiversity: The ecological wetland composed of Guanshan Lake and Jinhua Lake has a water area of about 600 mu, attracting hundreds of egrets, wild ducks and other birds to live here. They either play on the lake or rest on the branches, complementing the surrounding natural landscape, presenting a harmonious and symbiotic ecological picture.
Unique cultural landscape
- Deep and rich cultural heritage: The park has cultural landscapes such as the National Culture Corridor and the Bronze Drum Square. The National Culture Corridor displays the relevant content of 56 ethnic groups and nine traditional ethnic minority sports games. The Bronze Drum Square is home to statues with a strong Guizhou ethnic minority style. These landscapes fully demonstrate the rich ethnic minority culture of Guizhou.
