Introduction to Xiaoqikong

It is also rated as “the last emerald at the same latitude in the world” by United Nations experts.
How to play Xiaoqikong? Behind the beautiful scenery of Xiaoqikong is inconvenient transportation. I want to spend a day or half a day to enjoy it.
Libo
Xiaoqikong not only needs to avoid traditional tour groups in the scenic area, but also needs to thoroughly study the round-trip transportation. The travel routes recommended here are not only for checking out the highlights, but also for niche travel experiences. Just follow the guide and don’t waste time.
Tour route:
West Gate - Wolong Pond - Yuanyang Lake - Cuigu Waterfall Forest on the Stone - Xiaoqikong - East Gate
There are two gates in Xiaoqikong Scenic Area: East Gate and West Gate. This route is a labor-saving route. The section from the west gate to the east gate is downhill, which saves the energy of walking and climbing;
Tour time:
4 hours
Wolongtan
The most impressive scenic spot that is more shocking than Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge is Wolong Pond. Wolongtan is the upper reaches of Wolong River and the source of Wolong River. There is a man-made dam on Wolong Pool to divert water and generate electricity. The water in the pool seems to fall through the dam, like a waterfall. Coupled with the mountain peaks and dense woods, it is like a fairyland filled with smoke.
Enter the scenic spot from the west gate and take a sightseeing bus directly to Wolongtan, where the “Emerald” is located. This is the most shining scenery in Xiaoqikong. After getting off the bus, walk along the plank road for about 500 meters. Along the way, you will see pleasant scenery. The water in the pool is not only green but also very clear.
(Little popular science: The multiple colors of the lake in Wolongtan are due to the different ways in which the lake absorbs sunlight due to topography, plants, etc., which makes the “gem”-like color appear in front of us. It is not that the lake itself is blue-green)
Rafting in Wolong Valley
Ticket price: 50 yuan/person
Trip: 40min—1h
When you reach the end of the plank road, it is more recommended to go rafting in Wolong Valley than to leave by sightseeing bus. Most tourists will choose to raft in Yuanyang Lake, while far fewer people will choose to raft in Wolong Valley.
There is a special feature of rafting in Wolong Valley. The prize for boating is a bamboo pole, which is made from local materials and can be played on your own, which is full of fun. But you don’t have to worry about safety issues. There are staff to help you in places that are not easy to slide. The disadvantage is that it takes a lot of energy. You can go boating on the lake where you can see the bottom, laugh and play with your friends, and integrate yourself into the beautiful scenery of Xiaoqikong. It has also become a scenery in the eyes of others, and I believe it will be your most unforgettable experience. It took about 40 minutes to arrive, which gave me enough time to play without being crowded on the sightseeing bus or in a hurry.
Cuigu Waterfall
Cuigu Waterfall is a slender waterfall named Cuigu because it flows in the lush green valley. Compared with the spectacular Huangguoshu Waterfall, Cuigu has a weak sense of presence, which may disappoint you, but it is a treasure place for children to play.
Take a sightseeing bus to Cuigu Waterfall. Although it is called a “waterfall”, the scenery of Cuigu is more than that. Playing in the water at the bottom of the waterfall is the best way to play in Cuigu. Put on a pair of “rubber clogs” and keep your feet Get in close contact with the cool lake water, breathe in the fresh air of nature, and regain the fun of playing in the mountains in childhood. You can bring your children’s friends to buy them a water gun and have a great time.
Tips:
If you are not ready to take off your shoes, you can also buy them in the shops at the attractions; or you can just play in the water with bare feet.
Sixty-eight-level waterfall
The 68-level waterfall is located in the lower reaches of the Xiangshui River. Due to the different distribution of stones, there are 68 waterfalls of different shapes in a short trip of less than 2 kilometers. While hiking, the scenery is different every time you look back. different.
Sixty-eight-level waterfall. by Xiaoyiwa After visiting Cuigu Waterfall, take a sightseeing bus to Shishang Forest Station. Here begins the refreshing hike up the river. The famous 68-level waterfall starts from here. This section of the walk is nearly 2KM. Due to this direction, It’s downhill all the way, so you won’t feel hard, but the continuous scenery on the road will bring you many surprises.
When hiking, it is recommended to take the path at the foot of the mountain instead of the main road that is accessible to cars. Playing this way allows you to avoid large crowds.
The middle part of the hike is the shocking Broken Bridge Falls. The waterfall passes through a special terrain without any modification, and falls from a high place like a flying man. The “Laya Waterfall” on the itinerary is not as colorful as Wolong Lake, nor is it as shocking as other waterfalls. Just take a look.
Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge
The Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge was built during the Qing Dynasty. It is made of bluestone and spans the Xiangshui River to seamlessly connect both sides of the river. After completion, it will serve as an important transportation artery for commercial exchanges between Guangxi and Guizhou. It imagines the past Business and trade will pass through such a beautiful place, which is so pleasant. Now it has been transformed into a scenic spot and is the last stop on the tour route. After passing the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge, it is not far from the east gate.
If you arrive here on holidays, you will encounter too many crowds. If you just want to admire it quietly, you may be quite disappointed, thinking that the famous Xiao Qikong is nothing more than that. But if you have enough time, it is recommended to stay at Xiaoqikong Scenic Area the night before. On the second day before tourists enter the scenic area, you can see the true face of Xiaoqikong and enjoy the scenery of Xiaoqikong that is only yours.
Tips for taking photos of Xiaoqi Kong:
Standing on the stone ground beside the ancient bridge, choose the composition of thirds, press the shutter, and the beautiful ancient bridge is recorded.

Xiaoqikong will definitely not be able to satisfy your wish to travel around the world.
Before arriving at Xiaoqikong, Libo, you can go to Basha Ancient Town.
This is the last legally armed tribe, inhabited by descendants of Chi You, who still retain the ancient customs of spinning and weaving. “Weaving wood bark, dyeing it with grass, making five-color clothes, all with tail shapes” is the way to record the Miao costumes.
Men in Bazaar are not allowed to wash or shave their hair when they are born. Their coming-of-age ceremony is held when they are 16 years old. This is what I heard is called “scythe shaving”. In Bazaar, there are no barbers, and all long hair is cut off with a sickle. It is shaved off, leaving only the central part, which is combed into a high bun, called “house stick” and kept for life.
When you arrive at Basha, you must watch a gunman show and experience a head shave with a sickle.
In addition, Langde Shangzhai is also a niche destination that cannot be missed. The quaint Miao Village has been overshadowed by the Qianhu Miao Village. It is the only Miao village selected for the 2008 Olympic Games. Compared with the Qianhu Miao Village , the atmosphere of commercialization is much less.
Stand at the highest point of the Miao Village to enjoy the panoramic view, take a look at the little Miao village girls, drink roadside wine, and experience the Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang 10 years ago.

Xiaoqikong will definitely not be able to satisfy your wish to travel around the world.
Before arriving at Xiaoqikong, Libo, you can go to Basha Ancient Town.
This is the last legally armed tribe, inhabited by descendants of Chi You, who still retain the ancient customs of spinning and weaving. “Weaving wood bark, dyeing it with grass, making five-color clothes, all with tail shapes” is the way to record the Miao costumes.
Men in Bazaar are not allowed to wash or shave their hair when they are born. Their coming-of-age ceremony is held when they are 16 years old. This is what I heard is called “scythe shaving”. In Bazaar, there are no barbers, and all long hair is cut off with a sickle. It is shaved off, leaving only the central part, which is combed into a high bun, called “house stick” and kept for life.
When you arrive at Basha, you must watch a gunman show and experience a head shave with a sickle.
In addition, Langde Shangzhai is also a niche destination that cannot be missed. The quaint Miao Village has been overshadowed by the Qianhu Miao Village. It is the only Miao village selected for the 2008 Olympic Games. Compared with the Qianhu Miao Village , the atmosphere of commercialization is much less.
Stand at the highest point of the Miao Village to enjoy the panoramic view, take a look at the little Miao village girls, drink roadside wine, and experience the Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang 10 years ago.

Introduction to Xiaoqikong
Libo
Located in the southern part of Guizhou Province, it is also the junction of the two provinces of Guizhou and Guangxi. The terrain features combine the comprehensive advantages of the Guizhou Plateau and the hills of Guangxi. It has both mountains and hills, and is a typical karst topography.
Libo
There is a river named “Xiangshui River” in the county. The caves, mountains and waterfalls on both sides of the river form the famous Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. it is
Libo
A super Internet celebrity attraction, its popularity has not diminished over the years. “If you don’t go to Jiuzhaigou, go to Xiaoqikong” is not a deserved reputation. It was named “The Most Shocking Travel Place in 2016” by “Lonely Planet” for a photo with green water, green mountains and waterfalls at the same time.
It is also rated as “the last emerald at the same latitude in the world” by United Nations experts.
How to play Xiaoqikong? Behind the beautiful scenery of Xiaoqikong is inconvenient transportation. I want to spend a day or half a day to enjoy it.
Libo
Xiaoqikong not only needs to avoid traditional tour groups in the scenic area, but also needs to thoroughly study the round-trip transportation. The travel routes recommended here are not only for checking out the highlights, but also for niche travel experiences. Just follow the guide and don’t waste time.
Tour route:
West Gate - Wolong Pond - Yuanyang Lake - Cuigu Waterfall Forest on the Stone - Xiaoqikong - East Gate
There are two gates in Xiaoqikong Scenic Area: East Gate and West Gate. This route is a labor-saving route. The section from the west gate to the east gate is downhill, which saves the energy of walking and climbing;
Tour time:
4 hours
Wolongtan
The most impressive scenic spot that is more shocking than Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge is Wolong Pond. Wolongtan is the upper reaches of Wolong River and the source of Wolong River. There is a man-made dam on Wolong Pool to divert water and generate electricity. The water in the pool seems to fall through the dam, like a waterfall. Coupled with the mountain peaks and dense woods, it is like a fairyland filled with smoke.
Enter the scenic spot from the west gate and take a sightseeing bus directly to Wolongtan, where the “Emerald” is located. This is the most shining scenery in Xiaoqikong. After getting off the bus, walk along the plank road for about 500 meters. Along the way, you will see pleasant scenery. The water in the pool is not only green but also very clear.
(Little popular science: The multiple colors of the lake in Wolongtan are due to the different ways in which the lake absorbs sunlight due to topography, plants, etc., which makes the “gem”-like color appear in front of us. It is not that the lake itself is blue-green)
Rafting in Wolong Valley
Ticket price: 50 yuan/person
Trip: 40min—1h
When you reach the end of the plank road, it is more recommended to go rafting in Wolong Valley than to leave by sightseeing bus. Most tourists will choose to raft in Yuanyang Lake, while far fewer people will choose to raft in Wolong Valley.
There is a special feature of rafting in Wolong Valley. The prize for boating is a bamboo pole, which is made from local materials and can be played on your own, which is full of fun. But you don’t have to worry about safety issues. There are staff to help you in places that are not easy to slide. The disadvantage is that it takes a lot of energy. You can go boating on the lake where you can see the bottom, laugh and play with your friends, and integrate yourself into the beautiful scenery of Xiaoqikong. It has also become a scenery in the eyes of others, and I believe it will be your most unforgettable experience. It took about 40 minutes to arrive, which gave me enough time to play without being crowded on the sightseeing bus or in a hurry.
Cuigu Waterfall
Cuigu Waterfall is a slender waterfall named Cuigu because it flows in the lush green valley. Compared with the spectacular Huangguoshu Waterfall, Cuigu has a weak sense of presence, which may disappoint you, but it is a treasure place for children to play.
Take a sightseeing bus to Cuigu Waterfall. Although it is called a “waterfall”, the scenery of Cuigu is more than that. Playing in the water at the bottom of the waterfall is the best way to play in Cuigu. Put on a pair of “rubber clogs” and keep your feet Get in close contact with the cool lake water, breathe in the fresh air of nature, and regain the fun of playing in the mountains in childhood. You can bring your children’s friends to buy them a water gun and have a great time.
Tips:
If you are not ready to take off your shoes, you can also buy them in the shops at the attractions; or you can just play in the water with bare feet.
Sixty-eight-level waterfall
The 68-level waterfall is located in the lower reaches of the Xiangshui River. Due to the different distribution of stones, there are 68 waterfalls of different shapes in a short trip of less than 2 kilometers. While hiking, the scenery is different every time you look back. different.
Sixty-eight-level waterfall. by Xiaoyiwa After visiting Cuigu Waterfall, take a sightseeing bus to Shishang Forest Station. Here begins the refreshing hike up the river. The famous 68-level waterfall starts from here. This section of the walk is nearly 2KM. Due to this direction, It’s downhill all the way, so you won’t feel hard, but the continuous scenery on the road will bring you many surprises.
When hiking, it is recommended to take the path at the foot of the mountain instead of the main road that is accessible to cars. Playing this way allows you to avoid large crowds.
The middle part of the hike is the shocking Broken Bridge Falls. The waterfall passes through a special terrain without any modification, and falls from a high place like a flying man. The “Laya Waterfall” on the itinerary is not as colorful as Wolong Lake, nor is it as shocking as other waterfalls. Just take a look.
Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge
The Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge was built during the Qing Dynasty. It is made of bluestone and spans the Xiangshui River to seamlessly connect both sides of the river. After completion, it will serve as an important transportation artery for commercial exchanges between Guangxi and Guizhou. It imagines the past Business and trade will pass through such a beautiful place, which is so pleasant. Now it has been transformed into a scenic spot and is the last stop on the tour route. After passing the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge, it is not far from the east gate.
If you arrive here on holidays, you will encounter too many crowds. If you just want to admire it quietly, you may be quite disappointed, thinking that the famous Xiao Qikong is nothing more than that. But if you have enough time, it is recommended to stay at Xiaoqikong Scenic Area the night before. On the second day before tourists enter the scenic area, you can see the true face of Xiaoqikong and enjoy the scenery of Xiaoqikong that is only yours.
Tips for taking photos of Xiaoqi Kong:
Standing on the stone ground beside the ancient bridge, choose the composition of thirds, press the shutter, and the beautiful ancient bridge is recorded. If you are lucky, you can meet the scenic area staff taking a boat to clean the fallen leaves in the river.
