Things to do in Qianxinan

Wanfenglin delivers a deeper, more restorative awe—a vast canvas of tens of thousands of cone-shaped peaks woven together with pastoral fields and village life. Xu Xiake's famous line—"There are many peaks under heaven, but only here do they form a forest"—still holds completely true today.This is a symphony of peaks, fields, and villages. The magic of Wanfenglin isn't any single mountain—it's the symbiosis of peak, field, village, and river. Nearly 20,000 cone-shaped karst peaks roll across the horizon; at their feet, the Nahui River winds through vast farmland, and Buyi ethnic villages scatter in between—white walls and dark tiles against green peaks and rice paddies. Wanfenglin delivers a deeper, more restorative awe—a vast canvas of tens of thousands of cone-shaped peaks woven together with pastoral fields and village life. Xu Xiake's famous line—"There are many peaks under heaven, but only here do they form a forest". It's a easy hike for the family.

Enter from entrance 2 track down stairs towards on spot payment ticketed one way elevator ride up and exit via entrance 1. Worth the time for view and hike. There’s one zone passing thru the waterfall with wet stairs so step with care. Pictures shown here doesn’t do this attraction. Have to experienced it yourself physically

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is highly recommended. This bridge is a key project of the Liuzhi-Anlong Expressway in Guizhou Province, spanning the Huajiang Grand Canyon, known as the "Earth's Crack," connecting Guanling County in Anshun City and Zhenfeng County in Qianxinan Prefecture. It is not only a vital transportation artery crossing this natural barrier, but also a super project integrating bridge and tourism, setting multiple world records. 1. Core Highlights: First in every aspect: World's highest bridge: The bridge is 2890 meters long, with a vertical height of 625 meters above the water (25 meters higher than the Canton Tower), surpassing the Beipanjiang First Bridge to become the new world's highest bridge. Largest span in mountainous areas: The main span is 1420 meters, currently the world's largest span steel truss suspension bridge in a mountain canyon. 2. Construction History: Construction officially began in January 2022, and the bridge was completed and opened to traffic on September 28, 2025. Several technological breakthroughs were achieved during construction: The intelligent cable system, the world's first to embed "intelligent sensors" (armored optical fiber gratings) into the main cable strands, is like installing thousands of "sensory neurons" on the bridge, enabling real-time monitoring of the bridge's health status and automatic early warning. The intelligent cable-stayed crane system integrates BeiDou positioning and automatic control technology, achieving a leap from "manual remote control" to "one-click intelligent control" for the hoisting of large components, greatly improving construction accuracy and safety. The wind-resistant design features a pioneering "horizontal wind-resistant stabilizing plate + upper stabilizing plate" structure, and incorporates a Doppler lidar wind measurement system to collect wind field data 24 hours a day to ensure safety. A model of bridge-tourism integration. The Huajiang Canyon Bridge is not only a transportation link, but also the first integrated bridge-tourism complex in China combining "bridge sightseeing + sports experience + tourism services": It speeds up transportation, reducing the original 2-hour detour between the two banks to a mere 2 minutes, while also integrating into the "one-hour tourism circle" of famous scenic spots such as Huangguoshu Waterfall. For extreme sports and sightseeing, visitors can take a 207-meter-high elevator to the top, experience a cloud-top café and a 360-degree panoramic platform on a bridge tower nearly 800 meters above the river, and challenge themselves with activities such as a 1411-meter extreme running track, high-altitude ropeless bungee jumping, and low-altitude paragliding. Cultural tourism IP development: Based on the Yundu Service Area, a Triassic geological culture museum and a water curtain light show have been created, transforming static landscapes into dynamic international sports tourism scenes, attracting over 1.3 million visitors since its opening. The Huajiang Canyon Bridge was definitely worth the trip, haha! It would be even more perfect if the ticket price were a little cheaper, haha! 😂😂😂

During summer vacation, I went there with my friends and their kids. We arrived early, so we found a terrace for dinner with a view of the water. There was a performance on the water in the evening. The natural scenery of mountains and water combined with the man-made architecture created a great atmosphere 👍 The only downside was that eating outdoors meant that mosquitoes were unavoidable at night, especially in a place like Guizhou with a relatively good ecological environment.

Wanfeng Lake is primarily known for its karst landscape, with emerald green waters surrounded by peaks. Attractions include the "Mini Three Gorges," the Water Stone Forest, and the Jilong Fort. A boat tour takes about an hour. The boat has two decks; the second deck offers expansive views and a refreshing lake breeze, perfect for a relaxed sightseeing experience. On a clear day, the lake and mountain scenery is stunning. When we visited, there weren't many tourists, making the experience even more pleasant.

The scenery is truly stunning, and the crowds are incredibly rare. We arrived at 11:00 AM and left at 2:30 PM, and encountered fewer than three dozen tourists. There's virtually no service in the scenic area, and the fruit at the stalls is all modeled. The cable car has been closed for who knows how many centuries. The ticket price is 60 yuan, and the boat ride is 80 yuan. The value for money is truly poor. If you're looking for a less crowded and beautiful place, this is a good place. If you're looking for service and value, consider looking elsewhere.

The cave is huge; the Via Ferrata looks easy, but climbing it is actually quite challenging. The service was reliable. Our group of 22 couldn't reach the entrance by bus, so they sent six small vehicles to wait for us, very punctually. Very good.

It was a very unique experience. The service was excellent, so there was nothing to worry about. It's especially suitable for couples or children. I usually work in an office, and I felt a little tired after walking the whole way, but I was very happy.

The water quality at the dam is absolutely stunning, crystal clear and almost like a small island. The surface is calm and stable, making it easy for beginners to stand and play without worrying about capsizing. It's fully equipped with showers, a BBQ area, and excellent water play facilities. Paddleboarding under the waterfall is a must-do for Instagram-worthy photos. The instructors are patient and provide full supervision, ensuring a safe and fun experience for families. A must-visit for water activities in Xingyi!

Super super great!!! They helped us take photos with our drones and phones. The instructors were very attentive and even played in the water with us. They also provided free waterproof phone cases and towels.
