Shanli Jiangnan Resort is known for its picturesque natural landscapes and cultural experiences. Recommended activities include:
The Shanli Jiangnan Tourism and Leisure Resort is located in Jiuzhou Town, Xixiu District, Anshun City, Guizhou Province, approximately 80 kilometers from Guiyang and 28 kilometers from Anshun City. Bounded by the Datun Mountains to the west and the Xingjiang River to the east, the area is nestled between mountains and water. The warm and humid climate, the undulating karst landscape, and the winding river system complement each other, creating a distinct Jiangnan atmosphere, hence the name "Shanli Jiangnan."
The scenic area, covering over 2,600 mu (approximately 1,600 acres), draws upon the National AAAA-level scenic spot, Jiuzhou Ancient Town. It integrates Jiangnan elements, Jiuzhou Ancient Town, and Tunpu culture, creating a unique Tunpu ethnic experience and the beauty of the Jiangnan Mountains, encompassing the Butterfly Love Flower Sea, Happiness Flower Field, Happy Street District, and resort hotel. The Jiangnan Mountains area represents a rebirth and continuation of Tunpu culture: the meticulously arranged Happy Street District, winding paths through secluded waterside countryside, the myriad forms of willow trees framing the emerald waters, and the poetic banks of the Xingjiang River. The rich Tunpu culture speaks of the vicissitudes of history, while the romantic Butterfly Love Flower Sea exudes a modern and fashionable flair.
The cultural fusion of history and modernity is vividly reflected within the scenic area. Tunbu-style architecture and guesthouses, local delicacies and goods, winding riverside pavilions and corridors, a children's playground in a sea of flowers, and a Tunbu Mask Exhibition Hall all cater to visitors' needs for both cultural appreciation and leisure and entertainment. The colorful and beautiful Jiangnan region of Shanli, and the warm and hospitable people of Shanli, welcome visitors from all over the world.
