Venture into the Karst Wonderland! This 4-Day 3-Night Guide Made Me Fall in Love with Bijie

This hidden gem city nestled in the heart of Wumon Mountains
Features world-class cave wonders
River galleries that look like oil paintings
And mountainsides covered with azalea flowers.

When I was on a boat in the Wujiang River Gallery
Watching green mountains reflected in the jade-like water
With stilt houses sending up wisps of smoke
Bijie's beauty was too breathtaking to capture in photos.

📸Recommended Photo Spots in Bijie
1️⃣ Zhijin Cave
The "King of Chinese Caves" lives up to its name! In this cool 16°C fairyland, million-year-old stalactites hang like works of art. World-class karst wonders like the Overlord's Helmet and Silver Rain Tree will leave you in awe.
2️⃣ Fortune God Temple
A 600-year-old sacred site for wealth seekers! Between the red walls and golden tiles lie the most efficacious legends of fortune.
3️⃣ Zhijin Ancient Town
A living Ming and Qing Dynasty museum! Walk the bluestone paths and you might meet grandmothers in traditional ethnic costumes. At night, light shows bring ancient buildings to life.
4️⃣ Pingyuan Ancient Town
The new ceiling for Chinese-style photo spots! Hidden among bridges and streams are unique scenic views. When lanterns light up in the evening, you'll feel like you've stepped into the world of Spirited Away.
5️⃣ China Alpaca Town
Guizhou's version of "Cute Animal Paradise"! Not only can you feed adorable alpacas, but also miniature horses and rabbits—a must-visit for family trips.
6️⃣ Wujiang Source Hundred-Mile Gallery (Huawu Wharf)
Mountain and water scenery wilder than Guilin! Just 30 yuan for a boat ticket gives you access to the entire jade-colored river. Miao boatmen's folk songs echo through the canyon, and at sunset, the water turns champagne gold.
7️⃣ Huajue Town Wujiang Gallery
A hidden gem known only to locals! Pristine scenery without tourists. Take a boat along the river and hike to meet Buyi fishermen.
8️⃣ Binjiang Buyi Scenic Area
A chance to live inside a landscape painting! Stilt house accommodations with misty river views right outside your window and free camping sites that look like a beautiful scroll painting.
9️⃣ Baili Azalea Jinpo Scenic Area
Spring's most luxurious visual feast! From March to April, thousands of acres of wild azaleas bloom simultaneously. View the undulating sea of flowers from the Suoma Bridge—drone footage looks like God spilled a palette of colors.

🍜Authentic Food Guide
Zhijin baked pot, Zhijin Eight Bowls of Water, Wujiang tofu fish, buckwheat jelly, Paomuxiang sauce-flavored vinegar, fermented tofu, Dafang hand-torn tofu, Jinsha lamb noodles, and other delicacies.
In Bijie, every morning begins with a steaming bowl of lamb noodles, and every evening ends with the homey aroma of baked pot dishes.

This place has no over-commercialized atmosphere
Only the most pristine natural landscapes
And the most genuine ethnic minority cultures
A secret paradise you'll fall in love with after just one visit.
