The core scenic area includes the World Natural Heritage "Libo Zhangjiang Scenic Area" and the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge, which integrates karst landforms and ethnic minority customs. It is recommended to arrange a 1-2 day in-depth tour, combining natural wonders with cultural experience. Transportation High-speed rail: Take the Guinan High-speed Railway from Guiyang to Libo Station (about 1 hour), and then transfer to the scenic area through bus or chartered car (15 minutes) to reach the scenic area. Self-driving: It takes about 3.5 hours to drive from Guiyang to Libo, and you can enjoy the Zhangjiang Scenic Belt along the way. Must-see attractions Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge: A mossy stone bridge built in the Qing Dynasty, reflecting the turquoise river water. It is best photographed in the early morning when there are few people. 68-level waterfall: There are 68 layers of waterfalls densely distributed within 1.6 kilometers. You can go upstream along the plank road to feel the beauty of the cascading water. Wolongtan: The water in the pond is like a mirror, and you can row a transparent boat to take pictures of the Tyndall light effect of the underwater forest. Water Forest: Hike through streams and tangled tree root trails. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes and bring Crocs to play in the water. Useful Tips Tickets: The ticket price for Xiaoqikong during the peak season (March-November) is RMB 120, including RMB 40 for the sightseeing bus. Hong Kong residents can enter for free with their Home Return Permit before the end of 2024. Route: The downhill route from the East Gate and West Gate is the most labor-saving. Prioritize the "Senior Citizens Route" to avoid the crowds and capture the highlights. Photography: The light and shadow of the ancient bridge are best at sunset (after 15:30); it is recommended to shoot in the morning with the sun shining brightly at Wolongtan. Local Experience Food: Taste Libo pickled sour meat, fish wrapped in leeks, and go to the Buyi ethnic town to taste Zhangjiang river fish. Accommodation: We recommend the Pingshan Lake Grassland Starry Sky Camp near the east gate of the scenic area, or choose a cost-effective homestay in the county. Libo is a place that combines beautiful landscapes with rich cultural heritage.
