This hidden gem of a summer retreat city is truly afraid of becoming too popular! Summer getaway recommendation

📍Bijie, Guizhou A karst kingdom you must visit in your lifetime People of Guizhou, how could you keep this a secret?! Such breathtaking landscapes hidden away without promotion?! Cliffside galleries, underground palaces, and thousand-year-old Yi villages—highly recommended❗️ 🚉Transportation tips: 1🚗 About 2h drive from Guiyang. Recommended to charter a car or rent one for touring. 2 Jiudongtian Scenic Area requires a boat tour—book in advance. 🗓Itinerary: DAY1 Guiyang → Wujiangyuan Hundred-Mile Gallery → Hundred-Mile Azalea Forest → Pingyuan Ancient Town (stay in Zhijin Ancient City) DAY2 Jiudongtian → Shexiang Museum → Shexiang Ancient Town → Mu'ege Ancient City → Return to Guiyang ❤Why you'll love it: 1 Zhijin Cave The moment you step into this underground palace, you'll be speechless at the sight of the stalactite forest~ The rocks under the lights look like they're sprinkled with diamonds. 2 Pingyuan Ancient Town Fewer crowds than Wuzhen! More tranquil than Lijiang! This underrated ancient town in Bijie preserves intact Ming and Qing architectural clusters. 3 Wujiangyuan Hundred-Mile Gallery Huawu Scenic Area This is the highlight of the Wujiangyuan Hundred-Mile Gallery—emerald-green river water, steep canyons, and Miao ethnic villages. 4 Huajue Riverside Buyi Ethnic Tourism Area A niche spot along the Wujiang Hundred-Mile Gallery, also home to ethnic minority communities. 5 Hundred-Mile Azalea Forest (seasonal) Dubbed the "Earth's Colorful Ribbon · World Garden," the moment you stroll through this sea of flowers, Guizhou's spring begins. 6 Fangjiaping Health & Wellness Resort Area
