Accidentally entered the mysterious Kingdom of Yelang Valley!

Preparation before the trip
Be sure to bring your ID card and student ID. The weather in Guizhou is changeable, so a light jacket is a must-have. Walking is required inside the valley, so comfortable shoes are very important. Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Bring an umbrella or raincoat in case of sudden rain. Carry common stomach medicine, cold medicine, and band-aids in your bag. Remember to bring a power bank, camera, and a small amount of cash.
Itinerary
Day 1: Initial exploration of Yelang Valley, immersed in the Stone Kingdom
Morning: Arrive in Guiyang and head to Yelang Valley
Arrive in Guiyang by plane or high-speed train. Taking a taxi from the city center, airport, or train station to Yelang Valley is the most convenient, about 40-60 minutes. You can also take the bus, but it requires transfers and takes longer.
Noon: Check into a guesthouse outside the valley and taste local delicacies
There are many characteristic guesthouses around Yelang Valley, so book in advance. After dropping off your luggage, find a farmhouse restaurant. Sour soup fish and spicy chicken are authentic choices.
Afternoon: In-depth exploration of Yelang Valley
Entering Yelang Valley feels like stepping into another world. Stone castles, mysterious totems, and groups of pottery figurines—every corner is full of imagination. Mr. Song Peilun spent over twenty years creating this kingdom. Walk slowly, look carefully, and feel the impact of primitive art. When the lighting is good, photos come out beautifully.
Evening: Quiet night outside the valley
For dinner, try silk rolls or Qingyan braised pig’s feet. The area around Yelang Valley is very quiet at night, far from the city’s hustle and bustle. Have a cup of tea in the guesthouse courtyard, watch the stars, and enjoy the rare tranquility.
Day 2: Surrounding tours and return trip
Morning: Visit Qingyan Ancient Town or Tianhetan
Qingyan Ancient Town is not far from Yelang Valley. The town has Ming and Qing dynasty buildings and winding stone-paved roads. You can buy rose candy or braised pig’s feet as souvenirs. Tianhetan features karst caves and water landscapes; take a boat ride through it for a unique experience. Choose one of the two.
Noon: Last meal in the ancient town
Have a bowl of Changwang noodles in Qingyan Ancient Town, or try sour soup fish once more to conclude your Guizhou trip.
Afternoon: Pack up and return to Guiyang
Take a vehicle from the ancient town back to Guiyang city. If time permits, visit Jiaxiu Pavilion in the city. Then head to the airport or train station to end your journey.

Blogger Tips
Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit. Take care to avoid heatstroke in summer and keep warm in winter. Yelang Valley is the result of an artist’s dedication, so please protect the environment and do not damage the facilities. Wearing solid colors, ethnic styles, or vintage clothes will look better in photos. For groups, renting a car is recommended for convenience and flexibility. Nearby Guiyang, there are also Tianhetan and Qianling Park; if you have enough time, you can extend your trip.

The primitive, mysterious, and unique artistic atmosphere here will let you find your own peace and awe.
