Hezhang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Asilixi Prairie Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
It's worth visiting the off-the-beaten-path Axi Lixi Prairie in Guizhou
Axi Lixi Prairie, located at the junction of three townships in Hezhang County, Guizhou Province, covers an area of over forty square kilometers and has an altitude of more than 2,400 meters. This vast prairie, like a huge green carpet, stretches for dozens of miles, covering a million acres of land. On the prairie, the slopes are gentle, the vegetation is lush, and wildflowers sway gently in the breeze, as if you are in a fairyland surrounded by golden flowers.
The Axi Lixi Prairie scenic area is rich and diverse, with attractions such as Ertaipo Prairie, Wanfenglin, Heitang Divine Charm, Yingshui Village Daizhai Mountain and Water Painting, and Shibanh River Creek Waterfall Group, each with its own characteristics. Ertaipo, as one of the core scenic areas of the prairie, means 'slope upon slope.' Here, the mountains undulate, the peaks are lush, larks soar, and cattle and sheep stroll leisurely on the prairie, with shepherd's songs echoing in the air, as if a magnificent painting of the northern prairies.
The cattle and sheep on the prairie run freely under the breeze, the green trees and bamboo sway gracefully, and the clear mountain springs flow melodiously, adding endless vivacity to this land. On this magical land, the blue sky and the earth reflect each other, the Cang mountains and ginger grass nestle against each other, and the hard and the gentle intertwine into beautiful paintings, displaying the grandeur and diversity of the Wumeng mountain range.
The Asilisi Grassland in Hezhang County, Guizhou Province welcomes you
The Asilisi Grassland features gentle slopes, lush grass, wildflowers everywhere, skylarks soaring, herds of cattle and sheep, and the constant sound of pastoral songs. In the midst of the grassland, there are graceful bamboo forests and the clear, flowing mountain springs, which add to its dynamic beauty. In the Yi language, Asilisi means 'everyone come together to dance,' reflecting the Yi people's love for life and their friendly nature.
The Asilisi Grassland is located in the southeastern part of Hezhang County, Guizhou Province, with the central area being 40 kilometers away from the county town. The grassland is usually off-season from January to December with closing time at 17:00, while the peak season is from March to April with closing time at 18:00. The total area of the grassland is 50 square kilometers, covering the range of 10 villages across 4 townships: Xingfa, Weishe, Baiguo, and Guda.
The wind of the grassland, the clouds of the grassland, the cattle and sheep of the grassland
There is no Guizhou in the west of Sichuan, but there is Asilisi, known for its grasslands. The Ertai Slope Scenic Area is accessible by self-driving for a leisurely stroll. Driving through the wilderness from low to high into Ertai Slope, one is greeted by the spectacle of mountains coming to court, and peaks gathering like a congregation. The roads within the scenic area are one-way, with many parking areas. There are viewing platforms at Tiankeng, Nümao Mountain, and Wanfeng Platform, where you can stop to climb and enjoy the view at leisure. The internet-famous 'Wave Road' adds a unique charm, and if not for time constraints, I would have walked it more than twice. At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the grassland is still lush green, with flowers sparsely dotted around. Campers choose their beautiful spots to settle in, enjoying the morning glow and the evening clouds. Cattle, sheep, and horses are the real masters here; they are not as tame as they appear. On the way, we were blocked by a herd of cattle for a long time, focused on filming only to be sneak-attacked from behind by a cow, and even saw a group of cattle snatching kebabs from campers.
Entering Ertai Slope by car costs 100 yuan per vehicle, including the driver, with an additional charge of 10 yuan per extra person. There are camping hotels in the scenic area, as well as many snack bars.

Axilixi
Leek Flat.
On August 21-22 and September 5-6, 2023, I went to Leek Flat twice. The first time was with my family. After climbing the mountain, the weather was bad, the visibility was very low in the fog, the wind was blowing, it was very cold, but it was not cold enough to wear a down jacket. I wore a short-sleeved shirt and a sun-protective shirt for the whole journey. The second time was a company team building activity. The weather was very good, with blue sky, white clouds, and bright sunshine. The wind was cool and comfortable, and the intensity of the ultraviolet rays was not to be underestimated. Many of my companions got sunburned.
The leek flat at this time is in full bloom, but it is far from as lush as the flowers in the promotional video. The locals say that the wild leek flowers were indeed beautiful before they were developed, but human activities have a fatal impact on them.
Leek Flat has two scenic area entrances and exits: the east gate and the west gate. You can take a cable car, a sightseeing car, or walk to the core scenic area from the east gate. The cable car can take you directly to the top of the mountain. The round trip is 80 yuan, and the one-way trip is 40 yuan, which can be purchased separately; after the sightseeing car goes up the mountain, you need to walk a section of the mountain stairs to reach the top of the mountain. The round trip is 45 yuan, and you can also buy a one-way ticket. Generally, you take the cable car up and the sightseeing car down to save energy.
Actually, I recommend entering the scenic area from the west gate. Buy a 20 yuan/person sunset ticket at the foot of the west gate mountain and drive to the west gate parking lot on the top of the mountain. Make up the difference from the west gate to buy a leek flat ticket to enter the core scenic area. The scenic area closes at 5 o'clock, so you need to arrange your time well. The road up the mountain is all mountain roads, and the road conditions are still good. After the tour, wait for the sunset at the west gate. There is nothing to eat or stay at the west gate. After watching the sunset, you have to go down the mountain. When the weather is good, the distant mountains before sunset are like an ink painting. The beauty seen by the eyes cannot be recorded by the camera. Watching the sun slowly disappear into the clouds, the sky gradually darkens and feels the passage of time. Remember to wear more when watching the sunset. As the sun sets, it's really cold on the mountain. The hands of the companions were all cold.
Hezhang County, Bijie, Guizhou, Axili West Leek Ping
These beautiful photos were taken in Axili West Leek Ping, Hezhang County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province. When I heard that the wild leek flowers here are the unique leek flower sea in China, with a large scale, particularly spectacular, and particularly shocking, I started my self-driving journey without hesitation and arrived directly at Axili West in Bijie Hezhang County. When I arrived at the flower sea scene, I was as excited as other tourists. Walking in the sea of flowers, in the sea of flowers all over the mountains, I saw a group of mountains dyed purple and red by the flower sea. I couldn't help but excitedly exclaim that our motherland is so beautiful!
Walking in the cloud of flowers
The most beautiful scenery in early autumn is none other than the leek flat in Axilixi, which is really spectacular. If you're lucky, you can catch the sea of flowers, sea of clouds, sunrise and colorful clouds all in one go. We were quite lucky when we went, we didn't catch the sunrise, but fortunately it was in full bloom, and the continuous mountains were covered with purple flowers blooming from wild leeks, as if covered with an endless flower blanket. In the morning, the cable car goes straight to the top of the mountain, the clouds are still lingering in the mountain hollows, and the sea of flowers is particularly brilliant under the sun above the clouds. However, in an hour, the clouds rise and cover the mountain top, and you can't see anything, but fortunately after noon the clouds disperse and reveal their true face again. So when you go to the leek flat, you must choose a good time, otherwise you may not see anything.
The scenic area is very large, and ordinary people can't visit it all, but the scenery is similar. The Sifang Pavilion has the best view and is the first choice for watching the sunrise. The scenic area cable car starts at 4:30 in the morning, which is very considerate for tourists. As for accommodation, there are many farmhouses outside the scenic area, the conditions are general, but the advantage is that they are close.
