A world filled with flowers is here!

Guizhou, you really know how to have a blooming good time. The first line of the song 'Chasing Dreams with a Child's Heart' asks 'Where is the world filled with flowers?', and today I am here to answer, it is here—in Bijie, Guizhou's Hundred-Mile Azalea.

The Hundred-Mile Azalea, which is also described in the song 'Luxurious Fragrance Lady' by Phoenix Legend as 'never withering', is the real-life depiction of 'Ascending Spring Mountain'.

As a 5A tourist attraction, its fame goes without saying, with titles like the Earth's ribbon of colors, the world's largest natural garden, the only national azalea forest park, and home to the world's oldest azalea trees, I won't go into further detail. Just know that here you can truly immerse yourself in a garden and experience 'Ascending Spring Mountain' for real. And now is the peak blooming season. As someone from Guizhou, I've written this travel guide note to offer as a reference for those who wish to visit.

🔹Getting there:
✈️Plane: Your location→Bijie Feixiong Airport
🚅High-speed train: Your location→Bijie Station/Dafang Station/Qianxi Station
There are direct buses to the scenic area from the above stations, which you can take directly upon arrival.

🔹Scenic area fees:
💴Ticket: 130 yuan/person (valid for 3 days)
🛺Scenic area sightseeing car: 70 yuan/person (valid for 3 days))
Regarding the sightseeing car fee, is it necessary to purchase? Actually, the sightseeing car is quite cost-effective, the scenic area is really too large! If you have mobility issues, a sufficient budget, or want to visit every spot (there are several spots within the Hundred-Mile Azalea), it's naturally necessary to buy. But for hiking enthusiasts, special forces tourists, or those who just want to take photos, it's actually not necessary.

Lastly, there are many scenic spots in the Hundred-Mile Azalea, and it can be quite dazzling. Here's a time-saving travel strategy I've summarized myself: In the morning, you can go directly to the Shuhua Peak and Wucailing in the Pudi scenic area, which are not far from each other. Shuhua Peak is the highest viewing platform in the scenic area (see picture 12 below), and the flower sea here is the most vast (see picture 2). Climbing up to the viewing platform, it's as if you're in the song 'Ascending Spring Mountain'. Wucailing has many viewing pavilions suitable for taking photos (see picture 7). In the afternoon, go to the Jinpo scenic area's Wanhua Building and Soma Flower Bridge (see picture 12 above and picture 8), which are next to each other, and are the soul and landmarks of the scenic area, with many aerial videos online taken from here.

🔹Fangjiaping scenic area (pictures 14~18):
Lastly, after touring the azalea sea, if you still want to play other attractions, you can go to the nearby Fangjiaping scenic area to see. There are many entertainment projects there: horse riding, off-road vehicles, roller cars, cliff swings, rainbow slides... After playing till dark and getting tired, you can eat roasted whole lamb, pork chops, roast duck... in the scenic area, and a perfect day ends! I wish you a pleasant journey!
