Wujiangzhai International Tourism Resort is located in Bozhou District, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, nestled among green mountains and clear waters, built along a tributary of the Wujiang River. Centered on the Qianbei residential cluster, it blends architectural styles from multiple ethnic groups such as the Miao and Dong. With small bridges over flowing water, stilted buildings, and terraced fields, it feels like a "living intangible cultural heritage museum." The village is tranquil and picturesque by day, and when lit up at night, it transforms into a dreamy fairyland!
🚶【Travel Tips】
· Must-try: Bamboo raft ride to watch intangible cultural heritage performances, check in at Wujiang Ferry Pier, climb the Huilong Tower for a panoramic view.
· Night highlights: Music water dance show + drone light show (check performance times in advance!), hundreds of drones create folk patterns, absolutely stunning!
· Suggested route: Enter the village in the afternoon → visit the folk craft workshop → take a rowboat ride → enjoy the night view → stay overnight in the scenic area.
🍲【Food Recommendations】
· Qianbei specialties: Sour soup fish, mutton noodles, glutinous rice cake crust, rice tofu.
· Recommended to try: Authentic sour soup hotpot at the "Baoguo Soup Restaurant" inside the scenic area, warm and appetizing!
🚗【Transportation Guide】
· Self-driving: About 1 hour from downtown Zunyi, navigate to "Wujiangzhai East Visitor Service Center."
· High-speed rail: Get off at Zunyi South Station, about a 30-minute taxi ride to the site.
· Inside the scenic area: Combination of walking + boat + shuttle bus easily covers the whole village.
💡【Travel Advice】
· Wear comfortable, non-slip shoes! Many stone paths and steps, be careful on rainy days.
· Buy tickets in advance (available on Trip.com/official WeChat), avoid peak times during holidays.
· For families with kids, try hands-on experiences: tie-dyeing, making flower and grass paper, very fun!
🏨【Accommodation Options】
· Inside the scenic area: Recommended "Mushan Hotel" and "Qian Academy Hotel," with scenic views right outside your window for full immersion!
· Cost-effective: Choose homestays around the village, within 10 minutes by car, more budget-friendly.
📌【Experience Highlights】
What moves people most about Wujiangzhai is its "living" atmosphere—villagers washing clothes in the morning mist, grandmothers embroidering at the alley corner in the afternoon, folk songs flowing under the night lights... This is not a commercialized ancient town but a truly "breathing" Qianbei home. If you're tired of crowded tourist spots, come here to rediscover the heartbeat of slow time!
