📍Tips:

2. Wear flat shoes. High heels are not suitable for exploring the garden.
3. Guizhou has strong UV rays in spring. Be sure to bring sunscreen.
4. If you're short on time, consider a one-day trip to the core cherry blossom viewing area—the Tea Garden Cherry Blossoms, the viewing platform, and the area around Hongfeng Lake.
5. Pingba Cherry Blossom Garden is conveniently located near other scenic spots. If you plan to spend several days in Guizhou, you can combine your visit with Huangguoshu Waterfall, Libo Xiaoqikong, cave exploration, and the Qianhu Miao Village for a 5-7 day in-depth tour.
