Spring is a sea of flowers, peach blossoms, winter jasmines, rhododendrons, cherry blossoms... All kinds of flowers show their unique charm in this season. Rapeseed flowers, the most inconspicuous little yellow flowers, bloom all over the mountains and plains in spring , golden, yellow and orange, dancing with the wind, also gives people a visual shock!
This trip follows the steps of rapeseed blooming, a journey of viewing flowers!
The itinerary is as follows:
DAY 1: Depart from Beijing, fly to Xingyi from Daxing Airport, stay in Xingyi Homestay
DAY 2: Eat and drink in Xingyi city in the morning, Wanfenglin scenic spot in the afternoon, stay in Xingyi B&B
DAY 3: Guizhou Alcohol Scenic Area in the morning, Maling River in the afternoon, Su Xingyi Homestay

DAY 5: Luoping Golden Rooster Peak Cong, screw field viewing rapeseed, stay in Kunming Hotel
DAY 6: Fly to Beijing Daxing Airport from Kunming
On the first day, depart from Beijing Daxing Airport and arrive in Xingyi
I have landed at Beijing Daxing Airport a few times before, and I have never departed from Beijing Daxing Airport. This time I depart from Beijing Daxing Airport. Let me introduce Beijing Daxing Airport first.
The departure floor of Beijing Daxing Airport has two floors, the third and fourth floors are the departure floors, so you must be optimistic about which airline it belongs to, in case you go to the wrong departure floor.
The non-stop flight from Beijing to Xingyi is operated by China United Airlines. I started to check the flight and price a month before the departure. As a result, when the official departure, the price was high, because the fare calculation of United Airlines is : fare + insurance + luggage ticket. Luggage tickets should be purchased in advance, the price is relatively favorable, 78 yuan/piece, if you buy it at the counter, it will be 200 yuan/piece.
The catering at Daxing Airport is worth mentioning. The price system of the restaurant here is the same as that of the same restaurant in Beijing, so you can eat and drink here with confidence!
It was evening when we arrived in Xingyi. Xingyi Airport is a small airport. It takes less than half an hour from getting off the plane to picking up luggage and leaving the airport. Xingyi City is in Qianxinan Prefecture, Guizhou Province. Moutai Wine I heard that when you come to Xingyi, you can buy 2 bottles of Moutai at a reasonable price as long as you get off the plane. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible!
The weather was a little cloudy on the day we arrived, and the temperature was around 16 or 17 degrees. You still need to wear a jacket or a thin down jacket.
We came out of the airport and walked through the urban area of Xingyi to Wanfenglin Scenic Area. In the past two days, we arrived at the homestay in Wanfenglin Scenic Area.
The Wanfeng Forest under the cloudy sky has its own unique scenery, with a sense of immortality, layers of rapeseed flowers, golden and swaying in the wind.
My friend’s B&B is located in this beautiful Wanfenglin Scenic Area. The small courtyard of the B&B is very exquisite. Many donkey friends will stop at the entrance of the small courtyard, sit down to take pictures, drink a cup of coffee and have a rest.
The weather was cloudy, so my friend brought us to taste the local special hotpot—Midou Hotpot. The bottom of the rice bean hot pot is made of various beans, plus sausage and bacon. The pot is served on the table, and the soup is first eaten. The same small green vegetables (some can be named, some can't be named) are hot, hot, the beans are soft and rotten, the soup is delicious, and the taste of hot pot is different!
Day 2 Xingyi City Shopping Tour + Wanfeng Forest Tour
When I opened the curtains in the morning, I found that the weather outside was still cloudy, and the layers of rapeseed flowers and mountain peaks seemed to be in the clouds and fog! The sun seems to break through the layers of clouds and mist, revealing its light!
After skipping breakfast, my friend drove directly to downtown Xingyi to start our trip of shopping, eating, shopping and eating—shopping, eating, shopping and eating started from breakfast!
Before I came to Xingyi, I heard that Xingyi has surprisingly many snacks, such as mutton soup powder, chicken glutinous rice balls, baba cakes, Chongchong cakes, brush heads, dumpling skins, bean curd noodles... Let me be together I have been interested in Xingyi's snacks since the beginning!
One morning, I was looking for all kinds of delicacies in the streets and alleys of Xingyi City. Hey, at the end of the meal, we 5 adults and one child ordered a bowl of chicken glutinous rice balls to share. Dislike it!
After eating so many delicacies, we must consume some calories, so let's go to Liu's Manor first. Liu's Manor is a complex of "Tunbao" landlords and warlords. It is the former residence of Liu Xianshi, the military governor who was prominent in Guizhou political circles, and Liu Xianqian, the commander of the guerrilla army and Liu Xianqian, the frontier affairs officer of Yunnan and Guizhou. Liu's Manor was first built in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and it began to take shape in the same period. Later, as the Liu family continued to grow, the building also continued to expand.
Liu's Manor is in the urban area. It may not be the peak tourist season, so there are no people in the garden. After walking around, the cloudy day in the morning has passed, and the sky is clear. I planned to go to the Maling River Canyon, but I was blocked. We are on the way. Thinking of such a clear sky, of course we have to climb high and look far away. Immediately change the itinerary and go back to Wanfenglin, and take a sightseeing bus to visit Wanfenglin!
Wanfenglin ticket + sightseeing bus ticket is 110 yuan/person, which can be purchased directly online. When you arrive at the scenic spot, you can show the QR code and queue up for the sightseeing bus. A sightseeing bus can take about 10 people. The villages below pass through Shangna Village, Zhongna Village and Xiana Village, and finally return to the entrance of the scenic spot.
Wanfeng Forest is composed of 20,000 strange peaks and is one of the three major karst landforms in southwest China.
Take a sightseeing car and walk along the winding mountain road. The right hand is a natural scenery composed of peak forests, fields, and villages. Because it is the season of rape blossoms, it is colorful and colorful. The terrain is a saucer-shaped subsidence funnel According to local conditions, the Buyi people built circles of fields around the funnel, which looks like a gossip map from a height, which is very spectacular.
Follow the sightseeing car to look at the top of the mountain and browse in the village. We get off at Xianahui Village and go back to the hotel while playing and shopping.
In the Big Banyan Tree Square in Xia Nahui Village, several ancient banyan trees stand at the head of the bridge, like a giant umbrella, lush and luxuriant, very simple and historical.
We chose beef hot pot for dinner, haha, it’s hot pot again.
The beef hot pot here is somewhat different from other places. First of all, the raw material is yellow beef. You can choose to be cooked or raw; you can choose to eat beef soup in the middle of the dry pot, or you can choose it. Choose beef soup hot pot to eat; small green vegetables are provided by serving, and you can ask for more vegetables if you don’t have enough, and you can ask for what kind of vegetables to add; you can choose spicy or non-spicy dipping sauce. In general, the beef is soft and rotten, the soup is thick and delicious, the dipping sauce is spicy, and the green vegetables are tender and sweet!
Ended the first day of travel with a perfect hot pot dinner.
Day 3 Guizhou Alcohol Scenic Area + Maling River Scenic Area
For breakfast, of course, do as the Romans do, let’s have fried rice noodles.
While eating breakfast, I heard from my friends that there is a fair this morning. Haha, we who are born and bred in Beijing have never seen a big fair, so we decided to go to the big fair first after breakfast.
Strolling to Daji on the Big Banyan Tree Street, you can see some scattered stalls selling small green vegetables under the big banyan tree from a distance. The small green vegetables are really bright and pleasant, and you can buy a bunch of them for one yuan. If you are in Beijing, what do you think? Also have to buy some.
Walking along the street, you will enter Daji. The first thing you see is the pork seller. The pork is placed on the chopping board one by one, and Hao Heng is buying them all! Going further inside, there are various small stalls, selling vegetables, fruits, rice noodles, and clothes. It is really lively. The market is not big, it is just a big market in a village. When we went, it was 9 It's too late, so I guess I'll go back as early as possible. We bought some fruit and are going to take it with us when we go out to play today.
After visiting Daji and returning to the B&B, we are ready to go to the scenic spot this morning, Guizhou Chun Scenic Area, it is said that the Internet-famous Mushroom Wild Luxury Hotel is here.
Tickets are 30 yuan per person, and we booked them online on the way.
Guizhou Chun Scenic Area, when you hear the name, it should be related to wine. As soon as you enter the gate of the scenic area, you will be greeted by the smell of hops fermented by wine, which is very strong. The area of this scenic spot is still quite large. I thought it was a small garden. When I came in, I found that it was not small. There is also a "Dream Kingdom" theme amusement park. We spent nearly 3 hours in it. , It is very exhausting.
The garden surrounds the river, with different themed areas on both sides, mainly focusing on the theme of the sea of flowers.
After visiting the Chun Scenic Spot in Guizhou, it was already noon. Foraging is a must. Under the leadership of our friends, we went to eat Douhua Noodles.
In the afternoon, I went to Malinghe Canyon to make up for yesterday afternoon's itinerary, and today I arrived at the gate of the scenic spot smoothly.
Tickets for the Maling River Canyon are 65 yuan per person, and we also ordered online on the way there.
Entering the gate of the scenic spot, there is a sightseeing elevator not far away. A friend recommended that we take the sightseeing elevator first, and then walk along the valley to the Wanma Galloping Waterfall viewing platform. Based on our experience of making a sightseeing car in Wanfenglin yesterday, we decided not to make a sightseeing elevator, but just strolled down. The result was that we were very tired when we came back, and we couldn’t take the elevator any more. There was no one-way ticket!
The total length of the canyon is about 15 kilometers. When we went, it was not fully open. We could only walk along the west side of the canyon to the Wanma Galloping Viewing Platform. It took about 2-3 hours to go back and forth, and we walked for nearly 3 hours. If you come in summer, you can also go rafting. When we arrived, there were not many people, the river valley was deep, and the cliffs on both sides were scattered, forming a rock waterfall. The water in the canyon was fast, and it was a good place for rafting.
There are many waterfalls in the entire scenic area. There are several large and small waterfalls on the east side of the cliff. When you walk to the galloping landscape, a group of waterfalls is formed. Although it is not a season with a large amount of water, it is still very powerful. Large and small waterfalls rush down. , forms water vapor in the air, rushing head-on, it is still called suffocation!
Coming out of the Maling River Canyon, a friend introduced that there is a village near the scenic spot that specializes in producing corn, so the roasted corn here is delicious, as well as roasted potatoes. I decided to eat such a down-to-earth snack!
A friend said that the brigade specially built such an area for the villagers to set up stalls here to sell roasted corn and roasted potatoes. When we came, there were really many cars parked, and all the stalls were smoky. Corn and potatoes, and baked beans and more.
Day 4 Wanfeng Lake + Nanlong Buyi Ancient Village
Since we are going back to Beijing the day after tomorrow, we must have a nucleic acid test report within 7 days. Before we set off, we went to the health station in the village to do a nucleic acid test.
It takes about an hour's drive from Wanfenglin to reach Wanfeng Lake. I saw a banana seller along the way. My friend stopped and bought two handfuls of bananas. They said they were delicious, so let's eat more. I think the bananas here should be plantains, which are grown locally. They are not big and ripen naturally. The two handfuls are of two varieties, one with a slightly sour taste and the other with a glutinous and sweet taste. I like the glutinous ones.
Wanfeng Lake is an artificial lake formed after the completion of Tianshengqiao High Dam Hydropower Station, a national key hydropower project. The lake has a wide surface, and tourists travel by boat. The lake is surrounded by thousands of peaks, hence the name. When we came, there was really no one there. We originally bought tickets for a large ship, but after waiting for 40 minutes, there were no other tourists. Finally, the boss decided to give the three of us a yacht. The boss was very distressed!
Driving a speedboat on the lake, admiring the beautiful scenery of green mountains and clear water, lacks a little leisurely feeling, and adds more speed and passion. There is an independent small island on Wanfeng Lake, close to the power plant. A Jilongbao Resort was built on the island. The overall appearance looks like a European castle. It is mainly for visiting and accommodation. It is said that it is closed to the public now.
Now that we have arrived at Wanfeng Lake, we must eat fish around. My friend drove us to a nearby farm restaurant. The restaurant is on the side of the mountain road. On one side of the road are chickens, ducks and other livestock raised by his family, and a dog watches them. On the other side of the road is the restaurant. There is a pond in the small yard, which has several kinds of fish. We picked mouse fish to eat, and the mouth and face of the fish are a bit like mice.
We chose the hot pot method. The fish has been prepared before serving. Let’s drink the fish soup first. It’s so delicious. The fish is dipped in water to eat, and the green vegetables are delicious.
After lunch, I sat and chatted at the boss's house for a while, drank tea, licked melon seeds, and took a rest.
Next, we set off to Nanlong Buyi Ancient Village
Nanlong Buyi Ancient Village has a history of about 300 years. It is a typical Buyi ancient group building. The villagers are all Buyi. My friend told us that most of the villagers in this village have been moved out. The government is at the foot of the mountain. Houses were built for them, and the young villagers have basically passed away, but there are still some old people who stay in the village and are unwilling to leave. The villagers still maintain the living custom of men farming and women. They have all kinds of daily necessities such as looms, stone pestles, and stone mills. When we wandered around the village, we saw an old woman sewing the clothes of the Buyi people. We chatted with the old man and learned that she did all the clothes from weaving, printing and dyeing to sewing and embroidery by herself. It looks very complicated! The traditional Chinese handicrafts are really amazing!
Walking out of Nanlong Buyi Ancient Village, looking back at the gate of the village built on high steps, as if we saw the vicissitudes brought to us by the thick traces of time...
On the way back to Wanfenglin from Guzhai, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the road and saw a place where peach blossoms were in full bloom. We hurriedly got off the car and walked around in the sea of flowers. In spring, everything is alive!
Day 5 Rapeseed Flowers in Luoping - Kunming
Today, I set off from Nahui Village in Xingyi Wanfenglinxia, Qianxinan Prefecture, Guizhou to Kunming. On the way, I went to Luoping to see 200,000 mu of rapeseed flowers.
Luoping Rapeseed Blossom refers to a beautiful and spectacular man-made landscape in Luoping County, Qujing City, Yunnan Province, which is already one of the highlights of Yunnan tourism every spring. The Golden Rooster Peak in Luoping is a scenic spot for watching the sea of rapeseed flowers. Here is the peak of the karst landform. Together with the golden 10,000 mu of cauliflower fields on the ground, it forms a layered and rich sea of flowers. This is the basic portrait of the sea of flowers in Luoping. .
The rape blossoms in Luoping are just in time for this season. The rape blossoms in Xingyi are not as good as those here, because the rape blossoms in Xingyi are already out of season, and the types of rape blossoms in these two places are different. Luoping The rape blossoms looked more golden and the flowers were bigger. We really walked along the footsteps of the rape blossoms, and finally saw the most beautiful and brilliant ones!
The landscape of Jinji Peak covers a large area, and we finally need to climb a high mountain to see the magnificent sea of rapeseed flowers.
Coming out of the Jinjifeng scenic spot, we went to the screw field again. The terraced fields here are in the shape of a circle, which looks like the spiral pattern on the screw from a distance.
Today's itinerary is still quite tense. Luo Ping went shopping. It was already afternoon. After a brief lunch, we drove to Kunming. We will stay in Kunming tonight and return to Beijing tomorrow!
It took about 4 hours to drive from Luoping to Kunming. It was already around 9:00 p.m. when we arrived in Kunming. Our friend had to drive back to Xingyi.
We stayed at the Hampton Sheraton Hotel next to Kunming South Railway Station in Kunming, because my friend will continue her trip from South Railway Station the next day, so I will end this trip and return to Beijing!
Day 6: Kunming Airport—Beijing Daxing Airport
I slept until I woke up naturally, thinking about the end of the trip today, I decided to have another breakfast leisurely.
The breakfast at the Hampton Sheraton Hotel is really average, with not many varieties.
After breakfast, go back to the room to pack your luggage, check out and go to Kunming Airport, take the flight of China Eastern Airlines back to Beijing Daxing Airport.
