Guizhou Self-driving 🪄 The moment the castle lights up, it feels like there really is a magic academy

Among the clouds and rivers of Yunnan and Sichuan, I have visited many times
Only Guizhou has not been unlocked by me
Some time ago, I flew to Guizhou especially for the Hundred Miles Azalea
And I arranged a trip to Xingyi as well
Just to take a look at this castle standing on the water
The Chinese version of 'Swan Castle'

🏨 This castle is called Jilong Fort
It is actually a tourist resort
There is also a resort hotel nearby
Staying inside, you can visit the interior of Jilong Fort for free
External visitors need to pay a 60 yuan ticket

📷 Personally, I think it's enough to just look at the exterior
The aerial view is the best
The best viewing/aerial photography spot can be navigated to the nearby 'Hong Chun Village'
Be careful not to drive to the end of the village
That's already at the bottom of the mountain
Because this area is within the airport height restriction zone of 120 meters
So the takeoff height is very important
You can stop along the way to the village at the higher roadside for aerial photography

🌃 The lighting time at night is 7:30
This season is not very friendly, it's almost completely dark when the lights are on
Already missed the blue hour
Summer will be more beautiful, and the water level will be higher than it is now

There are also many nearby places to visit
You can go to the newly opened Fenglin Buyi Scenic Area
Because the rapeseed flowers of Wanfenglin have already withered
So I didn't go this time
Instead, I stayed at Wanfeng Lake for one night
I stayed at Fengxi Cave Homestay, the scenery is incredibly beautiful!
The distance from Xingyi city center is about a 50-minute drive
