Maolan!! The stunning hiking paradise next to Libo!

Who understands, family! Besides the crowded Libo Xiaoqikong in Guizhou, there is a hidden treasure—Maolan Nature Reserve! It’s right near Xiaoqikong but offers a completely different experience! It hasn’t been overdeveloped, preserving the most original wild beauty, with fewer people, beautiful scenery, and super quiet—truly a secluded paradise embracing nature 🌿

💡【Nanny-level Tips】
1️⃣Mountain paths have many stones and roots, be sure to wear non-slip shoes! Watch out for sprains
2️⃣There are many uphill sections, bringing trekking poles will save a lot of effort
3️⃣Long sleeves, long pants + hat are a must! Protects against mosquitoes and scratches
4️⃣Do not touch the stalactites in the caves! Everyone is responsible for protecting nature
5️⃣The forest floor is thick with fallen leaves, watch out for hidden pits underfoot
6️⃣Bring a pair of slippers, it’s super refreshing to step in the water at Qinglong Waterfall～

💡Highly recommend the "Binjiang Hotel" where we stayed! It’s right in the scenic Libo Ancient Town, after a day of hiking you can immediately lie down and relax. The rooms are clean with great views, and most importantly, there’s plenty of hot water! It’s a lifesaver for tired bodies after hiking—book early for great value!

Trust me, guys! Maolan is truly an overlooked hiking treasure! Fewer people, beautiful scenery, and an amazing experience all around~ Stay in a comfortable hotel, breathe fresh air while hiking during the day, and rest well at night—that’s the right way to enjoy it!!
