Things to do in Dafang

I rushed towards Baili Rhododendron with great excitement, thinking I had stumbled into a fairyland, but reality was like a burst bubble. I guess only aerial photography can capture that feeling, lacking the filters and meticulous editing of traditional film.

The scenery is beautiful; the highlight is the boat ride inside the cave. I recommend entering from the west and exiting from the west. Parking is convenient at the west gate. First, take a 3-minute sightseeing bus, then walk for about 10 minutes, then take another 5-minute sightseeing bus to the Natural Bridge to board the boat. If you have a one-way ticket, make sure to climb the stairs on your right when you reach the boarding area; the rest of the way is downhill, which is more convenient for the elderly and children. Finally, take the boat back from the east gate to the west gate. If you take the boat to the east gate first and then walk back to the west gate, it's all uphill stairs and will be very physically demanding!

中國像這樣的仿古鎮太多了，成功的卻不多，關門倒店就算了，沒人照顧的房裡亂七八糟，沒人管理，藏污納垢，早晚會毀滅的！老人家實話實說，不值得千里迢迢，如果順路到此就停一停，捧個人場吧！

Guizhou Xuanwei Mansion was built in the Shu Han Dynasty and was called Luodian Palace at that time. It was called Guizhou Xuanwei Mansion in the Ming Dynasty. It was destroyed by war in the fourth year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty (1624). The restored and rebuilt Guizhou Xuanwei Mansion with "one hall, eight courtyards and nine floors" is magnificent and reproduces the history and ethnic culture of Shuixi ancient Yi.

The scenic area is beautiful, but a bit demanding. The road from Yuchong Township to the scenic area is fine, though there were a few landslides after the rain, which were fortunately cleared. After arriving at the visitor center, take the glass plank road on the left to Xianyu Peak and the glass plank road on the right. We first took the glass plank road, which led downhill to the plank road halfway up the mountain. The scenery was beautiful, with views of Xianyu Peak across the way. After walking both sections of the glass plank road, if you haven't purchased a cable car ticket, you can return to the visitor center the same way. If you have a cable car ticket, you'll need to descend all the way to the cable car station at the bottom of the slope, which is quite demanding, and then take the cable car back to the visitor center. Near the cable car station, there are signs pointing you up the mountain to Xianyu Peak on the opposite side. This path is steep and quite demanding. From the visitor center to Xianyu Peak, you first walk a gentle trail, then descend a hill, and then ascend to Xianyu Peak, where there's a small temple at the summit. From Xianyu Peak, you can also see the plank road on the opposite side of the mountain. Finally, you need to return to the visitor center the same way.

Scenery: Rhododendrons bloom across the mountains, reaching their peak color at the end of March, turning the forests ablaze with color. The colors include red, pink, and yellow, with several shades of pink. There are large rhododendron trees, some bearing hundreds of blossoms.

The ancient city of Muoge is the birthplace of ancient human culture in southern China and the birthplace of the first ancient Yi Kingdom in China. The ancient city of Muoge was first built during the Shu Han period. It is now a base for the exchange and research of ancient Yi culture in China, and is also the filming base for the large-scale TV series "Lady Shexiang".

On the basis of protecting and restoring the original natural landscape, it integrates Bijie's local ethnic culture and contemporary elements to create a combination of tourism and cultural experience - "big mountains as scenery, small hills as gardens, big lakes as hearts, small waters as belts, canyons as networks, and green corridors as networks".

Shexiang Museum, relying on Shexiang Tomb (a national key cultural relic protection unit), is a comprehensive museum of Yi history and culture named after Madam Shexiang. It is built on the ruins of Muoge Castle (a provincial cultural relic protection unit). The courtyard of the scenic area is decorated with cherry blossoms, alpine azaleas, magnolias, euonymus and other courtyard trees. The environment is beautiful and quiet. There are Shexiang special exhibitions, Yi ethnic treasures and ethnic wisdom exhibitions. The building is an imitation of the Yi architecture of the Ming Dynasty. There are many 🔥-shaped patterns on the doors, windows and roofs, which reflects that the Yi people are a nation of fire culture. There is a short old street at the entrance of the museum, with golden, silver and bronze doors running through it. Muoge Ancient City is about 2+ kilometers away from Shexiang Museum. The ancient city itself is free, but the Guizhou Xuanwei Mansion inside it is a paid attraction. They are all modern attractions. The TV series "Madam Shexiang" was filmed here. Shexiang Park, 2+ kilometers away from Shexiang Museum, is also a modern attraction with terraces for fun. Dafang County is not big, it is built on the mountain, with different heights. It has various Guizhou specialties, such as beef hotpot, lotus residue soup, etc.
