Compared to popular tourist spots, I love Guizhou Wujiangzhai more

If you’re talking about hidden gem travel destinations, Guizhou Wujiangzhai has to be one! This place is even recommended by "Chinese Geography." With bluestone slabs winding around stilted buildings, Wujiang River reflecting the dim lights, plus an electrifying bonfire party and drone fireworks show, you get to experience the grand event all at once! If you haven’t decided where to go yet, save this guide now📖!

⛱️Destination: Wujiangzhai International Tourism Resort, Zunyi City, Guizhou
1️⃣High-speed rail station
20 minutes by taxi from Zunyi South Station after exiting
From Zunyi Station, take the direct shuttle bus to Dongzhaikou in the scenic area
2️⃣Accommodation suggestion: stay directly in the hotels inside the scenic area. Many hotels include scenic area tickets + free Hanfu experience + breakfast + shuttle bus. The key is no rushing, you can play until dark and still enjoy the night view of Wujiangzhai, perfect for photos!

After two days in Wujiangzhai, I realized how many surprises a lesser-known scenic spot can hold
The warmth of intangible heritage lanterns, the freshness of sour soup fish, the brightness of the bonfire party—each leaves a lasting impression
If you haven’t been to Wujiangzhai yet, I really suggest you put it on your itinerary
