Travel through the Earth’s Core Valley, gaze at the starry sea of flowers, and on the Wumeng Ridge, encounter the most pristine grandeur and tranquility

【3 days 2 nights, about 5800 RMB per person! Bijie Guide: The Secret Realm of Wumeng, a poetic encounter with flower seas and starry skies】

Day 1: Take the high-speed train to **Bijie Station** (about 1.5 hours from Guiyang), check in at a guesthouse in the Baili Azalea Scenic Area or a high-end hotel in Qixingguan District (800 RMB/night × 2 = 1600 RMB). In the afternoon, visit the **Baili Azalea Scenic Area** (ticket + sightseeing bus about 90 RMB) — from March to May, the hills are covered with azaleas like clouds and rosy clouds; outside the flowering season, there are still alpine meadows and forest trails. In the evening, taste local specialties: castrated chicken with tofu, Yi ethnic cured meat, and buckwheat jelly.

Day 2: Head to the **Zhijin Cave World Geopark** (ticket 110 RMB) — known as the "King of Chinese Caves," explore the underground karst wonders, see towering stalagmites and hanging stalactites, a breathtaking alien-like secret realm. In the afternoon, drive to the **Axilixi Grassland** or **Jiucaiping** (ticket 70 RMB) — climb the roof of Guizhou, where from September to October, tens of thousands of wild chive flowers bloom, walk among the clouds, and enjoy stunning sunsets.

Day 3: Visit the **Jiudongtian Scenic Area** (ticket 90 RMB) — take a boat through the natural cave valley, where light and shadow intertwine like a fairyland. Before returning, stroll through Bijie Old Street and shop for souvenirs: Weining ham, rosehip slices, Dafang lacquerware, and Yi ethnic handmade silver jewelry.

💰Budget breakdown:
Transportation 2200 RMB (round-trip high-speed train/airfare + local car rental) + Accommodation 1600 RMB + Meals 1000 RMB + Attractions and experiences about 300 RMB + Shopping reserve 700 RMB ≈ **5800 RMB**

📌Tips:
- The best time to see Baili Azalea is spring, but summer is also pleasant for escaping the heat;
- Jiucaiping is windy and cold, bring windproof and warm clothing;
- Zhijin Cave is slippery inside, wearing non-slip shoes is safer.

⚠️Warnings:
❌ Unqualified “low-price guides” at scenic area entrances, it’s recommended to use official routes;
❌ High risk with street “wild mushroom soup,” be cautious about eating unknown wild foods.

Three days and two nights, step into Bijie. This is not a distant place, but a secret realm hidden deep in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Come here, travel through the Earth’s Core Valley, gaze at the starry sea of flowers, and on the Wumeng Ridge, encounter the most pristine grandeur and tranquility.
