No matter what others say, it's better to visit Wujiangzhai yourself during National Day! After staying here for two days, I finally understood why it has become a new popular vacation landmark in Southwest China. The stilted buildings in the early morning are covered with dew, the bright lights at night reflect smiling faces, and the absolutely stunning sea, land, and air fireworks visual feast is breathtaking.
Every scenery and every experience makes you feel "this trip was definitely worth it"! For friends planning a short trip during National Day, be sure to save this itinerary.

✔️Recommended Accommodation
It is recommended to stay in a hotel within the scenic area. We stayed at Qianshuyuan Hotel, where you can eat, drink, and play all in one place, saving travel time back and forth. It also includes two days of tickets, shuttle bus, and buffet breakfast, which is very cost-effective.

✔️Transportation
🚄 Take the high-speed train to Zunyi Station first, then take the direct shuttle bus to the scenic area. If you get off at Zunyi South Station, it is better to take a taxi, about 20 minutes to Xizhaikou.
🚗 For self-driving, just navigate to Wujiangzhai International Tourism Resort Area. There is a parking lot, very convenient.

✔️Recommended Activities
1️⃣ Intangible Cultural Heritage DIY: Make your own exclusive souvenir
Head straight to Butterfly Mama Embroidery Workshop or Lantern Shop! I even made a lantern by hand, which can be taken home as a gift.
2️⃣ Interactive Souvenirs: Get a little surprise
Go to the core scenic area and greet the young village chiefs and village beauties one by one! They are all handsome and beautiful, and taking photos and interacting will get you event stickers.
3️⃣ Mass Choir
Join at Huilong Island Square. Whether you can sing well or not, sing along with everyone. Seeing the small national flags waving around you will ignite your patriotism.
4️⃣ Food Replenishment
When tired from walking, dive into the snack street! The stir-fried rice noodles are soaked in sauce, very satisfying with every bite, plus wontons, yellow rice cakes, and more.
5️⃣ Southwest's First Daytime Fireworks Show
Fireworks bloom brilliantly under the blue sky, the visual effect is maximized. Be sure to take photos to capture this romantic moment.
6️⃣ Lighting Ceremony: Watch Wujiangzhai transform into "Meng Hualu"
Watch the lighting ceremony next to the indigenous theater stage! Wujiangzhai, originally like a landscape painting, instantly turns into a stunning film scene from "Meng Hualu."
7️⃣ Make Wishes Under Three Thousand Bright Lanterns
As three thousand Kongming lanterns light up one by one, everyone joins hands in prayer. Even without speaking, you can feel the gentle resonance of thousands of people.
8️⃣ Bonfire Carnival
Everyone holds hands and dances ethnic dances. Later, Miao Di music plays. Whether you can follow the rhythm or not, it’s a lot of fun.
9️⃣ Grand Finale Feast: Watch a stunning sea, land, and air fireworks show
Drone patterns flash in the night sky, water rainbows light up, and fire trees and silver flowers ignite the night sky with intangible cultural heritage techniques. These three scenes combined make this trip truly worthwhile!!
📢 Friendly Reminder:
The drone fireworks are best viewed at Huilong Island Square~ Hope everyone has a great time during National Day!
