I went to Guizhou, and my friends all thought I had gone abroad
Unexpectedly, I came to Guizhou and found the niche check-in place in Xingyi, Jilongbao, this European-style building built on the island of Wanfeng Lake, like Swan Castle, and like Harry Potter's Hogwarts.
This dreamy castle is located in the middle of Wanfeng Lake, surrounded by Wanfeng Lake, and only connected to the land by a bridge. Overlooking from the air, it's really super beautiful.
'Wife's Romantic Journey' and 'Detective Star' have come here to shoot, you can imagine how popular it is. The castle 🏰 is not only stunning in appearance, but also can be visited inside.
The 3rd floor castle experience hall, library, queen's seat, medieval helmet, don't say really thought came to the European castle 🏰
The 5th floor castle secret room, there is a beverage shop. The 6th floor viewing platform, Wanfeng Lake is in sight. There is an aerial zip line on the 7th floor, you can slide to the opposite side, but you have to walk back, a bit tired.
After visiting the castle, you can go to experience the cruise, the whole journey is about an hour, cruising Wanfeng Lake, it has a different taste.
【Practical Guide】
Ticket 🎫: 60 yuan/person, parking 10 yuan, Wanfeng Lake cruise 80/person, ticket + cruise + zip line package 150 yuan
Food: There is a restaurant in the resort, you can taste the fresh fish of Wanfeng Lake, very delicious
Accommodation: There is a lakeside hotel inside, no need for tickets to stay in the hotel
Aerial photography: Jilongbao is very suitable for aerial photography, many beautiful photos are aerial photography, but the mountain has a magnetic field, it is easy to crash, try to fly within the line of sight
Tips: Guizhou is a strong fan, now launched the 'Machine Scenery Linkage. Fly Guizhou' discount event, four winter tour Guizhou boutique routes, as low as 99 yuan can sit on the plane to tour Guizhou, and can also use the ID card and boarding pass to exempt the corresponding flight destination scenic spot tickets, really too intimate.

Stepping into the embrace of Guizhou, I felt as if I had traveled to another fantastical world, encountering a real-life dream castle—Gilong Castle. It proudly stands on an island in the heart of Wanfeng Lake, an European-style building reminiscent of the 'Neuschwanstein Castle' and evoking thoughts of the mysterious 'Hogwarts' from Harry Potter.

🚗Transportation Guide: Whether driving yourself or taking a taxi, it only takes a half-hour drive from Xingyi City to reach this dreamy place.
📸Photography Tips:
1. **Panoramic View**: Navigate to 'Hongchun Village,' walk about a kilometer to the left, and an open space awaits your camera, offering a full view of the magnificent Gilong Castle. Let your drone soar above to capture the fairytale castle under the sky.

Jilongbao is located on the shore of Wanfeng Lake in Xingyi City, Guizhou Province. It is a Gothic-style building and is known as the "Chinese version of Swan Castle". The castle is surrounded by water on all four sides, as if it is independent of the world, giving people a dreamy feeling. Jilongbao not only attracts tourists with its unique architectural style, but its interior is also full of European retro architectural elements, such as large European murals, exquisite Roman columns, and European-style ceilings, which make people feel as if they have traveled through time and space.

Jilongpo | Exploring the beauty of Southwest Guizhou, an exhilarating experience!
Under the setting sun, the dreamlike beauty of Jilongpo intoxicates me!
Leaving the bustling city and stepping into Xingyi Jilongpo in Southwest Guizhou is like a shining pearl. When I stepped into Jilongpo, it seemed as if time had been frozen, and I was immediately shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of me! The mountains here are clear and the water is beautiful, with green trees shading, as if I have come to a fairyland on earth.
The evening sunset shrouds Jilongpo in golden light, and the marble-like buildings emit a mysterious and charming atmosphere under the gentle sunlight. Standing on the high ground of Jilongpo, I feel as if I am in a fairy tale world, feeling a unique magic. Time seems to stand still here, allowing me to immerse myself in this beautiful moment.
And when night falls, the scenery of Jilongpo becomes even more enchanting. The flashing neon lights and the twinkling stars in the sky interweave together, shining brightly, and the night view is simply stunning! The fairy-tale-like scene is fascinating.
The night here is so quiet, the distant mountains appear quiet and mysterious under the light, and the buildings of Jilongpo emit a charming light in the night. I am immersed in this beautiful night, as if I have forgotten all the troubles, and I just want to keep this beauty in my heart forever.
For me, who wanders in the city every day, this is undoubtedly a place of tranquility and beauty, a place that makes me linger.
Jilongpo, with such heart-moving beauty, every moment makes me intoxicated. If you are also tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, why not take a trip away from the hustle and bustle, come to Xingyi Jilongpo, and feel the unique and beautiful charm.

Guizhou Xingyi 'Jilong Castle' offers free photography and is incredibly beautiful
Guizhou Xingyi 'Jilong Castle' offers free photography and is incredibly beautiful.
'Jilong Castle' is the only castle in the heart of a lake in China, known as the Chinese version of 'Swan Castle'. It is a European-style building built on a rock island in Wanfeng Lake. The castle, which is stunningly beautiful, is located in the 'Wanfeng Forest' scenic area. The entrance fee is 60 yuan. Many comments say that the internal development is poor and the scenic area is uninteresting. To go to the castle, you need to buy a boat ticket separately, so we found a free route!
Self-driving guide
Coordinates: Jilong Castle Resort, Xingyi City, Guizhou Province
Navigation: Hongchun Village, Xingyi City
Follow the village road and keep going along the cement road. There are several parking spots along the way. At the first parking spot, you can only see part of the castle, but you can see the whole lake. Drive a little further and there is a parking spot where you need to climb some rocks! Be sure to pay attention to safety. At the end of the cement road, turn left up the mountain. There is a dirt road. Drive a few hundred meters along the lake and you can find several shooting spots.
On the opposite bank of Jilong Castle, there is a large area of strange rocks on the lakeshore, which is very shocking whether it is cloudy or sunny.
Tips
1. Be careful when walking in the reef area on the shore.
2. Be extra careful when using drones, as signal interference can easily cause crashes.
3. The lights are very dreamy after 7 pm, as if you are in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
4. Try to wear plain clothes, the photos will look better.
