"I am Xiao Ka Kin, I am Guizhou Baili Rhododendron"

One year old, there is a year old spring.

This year, my spring, in Guizhou Bijie Baili Rhododendron.

Flowers are blooming, can you tell which kind of cuckoo it is?

2021 Guizhou's very popular Baili Rhododendron Scenic Area, is the world's only Rhododendron National Forest Park, but also the largest area, the largest variety, the best preserved Rhododendron Forest Belt, a veritable earth ribbon, rhododendron kingdom.

The territory of baili rhododendron scenic spot stretches 125.8 square kilometers, and rhododendrons are mainly distributed in Jinpo Scenic Area and Pudi Scenic Area.

Aqua red cuckoo

In spring, more than 60 kinds of rhododendrons bloom together, such as the delicate lantana rhododendron (lantana, as the name suggests, the big red ribbon on the horse's head), the white flower rhododendron that is as pure as snow, the single-petaled water red rhododendron, the dewdrop rhododendron, the silver-leaved rhododendron... It's almost the first time in our lives that we've seen so many varieties of rhododendrons.

「 Jinpo Scenic Area 」

The rhododendrons in jinpo scenic spot are full of mountains and mountains, and I am still shocked the second time I came, walking in the depths of the winding and quiet trails, once again appreciating what is "azaleas like the sea, and the qiongshan mountains leave a strange fragrance".

This is also the first choice for most people to come to Baili Rhododendron, even the tour group also chose the Jinpo Scenic Area in the first stop of the daily morning, if you are not with the group tour, it is highly recommended to travel at the wrong peak.

Wan hua lou, soma flower bridge

WanhuaLou is a landmark building in Jinpo Scenic Area, and the several-storey antique-style flower viewing building adds charm to the shade of flowers.

Next to the Wanhua Building is the "net red" color soma flower bridge, which was still a glass bridge when I first came.

JinpoLing, Hundred Flowers Ping

Jinpo Ridge, a hundred flowers competing for beauty, is the first surprise that Jinpo Scenic Area gives us. Take a tour bus at the East Gate Visitor Center, choose the road on the left, and wind all the way up, lined with beautiful cuckoos.

"It's always the most beautiful scenery along the way," my companions and I lamented.

The first pause point is Baihuaping, which has an iconic punch point: the 9-meter-tall, white jade carved sculpture of the flower god Mayilu and the theme garden of the sacrificial flower god.

According to legend, The Patriarch sent his daughter Mayiru down to the mortal world to reward the god king Squeak Aru who drove mountains and reclaimed the sea, and had children with him to jointly control the flood.

When the world was at peace, she had to recall Mairu, who was reluctant to leave her husband and her children and grandchildren, but the Mandate of Heaven could not be violated, and in order to protect her husband and her children and grandchildren, so that they could see her at any time, she transformed into an azalea.

Since then, the rhododendron has become the sacred flower in the hearts of the Yi people, and Mayulu has become the "flower god" in the hearts of the Yi people.

The lantana not to be missed

This fiery red rhododendron bush is the most unmissable and most attractive point for tourists in Jinpo Scenic Area.

Lantana rhododendron is also called "lantana", "soma flower", legend is that the flower god Soma blood turned into a sacred flower, and because she is as red as the big red tassel worn on the horse's head in the past, it is called lantana. This is a cuckoo species unique to the Yunnan-Guizhou region!

I heard that this year is the best year for the cuckoos to bloom, and there are naturally many tourists. Take the car in, bustling is not lively, just in response to the sentence "Shanglin is already a flower," going out is to see the flowers people"...

At first glance, there are many people, in fact, you only need to walk a short distance on the side path to find the unique sea of flowers.

Therefore, it is recommended to reserve time when admiring the flowers of the Thyme Rhododendron, walk slowly, and look slowly...

「 Pudi Scenic Area 」

Colorful Road

Colorful road in the blooming season of colorful, very beautiful, it was originally called "five forks road", a total of five forks through the flower area, and here the azaleas are completely concentrated, and then the "five forks road" was changed to "five forks road".

Count the flower peaks

In the Pudi scenic spot, counting the flower peaks allows you to "see the mountains and small", with the help of the height of the improvement to see all kinds of rhododendron bushes, count the various flower peaks, and you can also view the complete picture of the entire scenic spot.

Local Yi costumes

Luxury Xiangling, drunken nine cattle

Luxury Xiangling is the attraction about Lady Xiang of Shuixi Toast, and according to legend, this is where she made love with Xia Cui (the leader of the Yi people). Born in Guduo Cottage in Shuixi (now Gulin County, Sichuan), She is not only beautiful and sweet, but also knows how to ride horses and shoot arrows, and can write and fight.

After Xia Cui's unfortunate death in battle in western Yunnan, she took charge of the great politics of Shuixi, not only managing agricultural affairs, but also managing politics and business, which won the hearts of the people.

Yi costumes

The name "Drunken Nine Cows" is also associated with Madame Xiangxiang.

According to the "History of southern barbarians", in the seventeenth year of Ming Hongwu, Lady Shuixi Toastmaster Xiangxiang, in order to maintain the tranquility of the southwest frontier, saw zhu Yuanzhang's tribute, there were nine Shuixi strong cattle, but when they came here, these nine cows were fascinated by the colorful rhododendrons and drunkenly fell into the rhododendron forest.

After Xiang Xiang told Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he would call it "Drunken Nine Cows", and "Drunken Nine Cows" got its name.

Before coming, I didn't expect that in addition to the azaleas, I could even meet such a sea of flowers.

Seasonal flowers are planted here in all seasons, and you can play in all four seasons. Aoyama Yuandai, here to watch a few lovely flower farmer uncles watering flowers, I can even watch all day.

Walking on the shores of rhododendron lake, the forest awakens, and the breath of spring is unbridled.

Rhododendron Lake was originally called Moving Mountain Lake, a long time ago, the surrounding farmers in order to irrigate farmland, moved a stone mountain to the water, built a dam into a lake, formed more than 400 acres of lake water, in order to commemorate the spirit of this foolish moving mountain, this water is called Moving Mountain Lake.

The 3-day pass for baili rhododendron includes Pudi, Jinpo, Rhododendron King, and Jiamu Scenic Area.

If you only have 2 days on the weekend, it is recommended to arrange a day on the east and west sides.

East: Jinpo Scenic Area + Rhododendron King Scenic Area + Jiamu Scenic Area (East Gate Tourist Service Center)

West: Pudi Scenic Area Rhododendron (Ximen Visitor Service Center / Baili Rhododendron Tourist Service Center) + Yishan Flower Valley to enjoy other flowers and plants + Baili Rhododendron Lakeside niche punch card

Relatively speaking, I myself prefer the west side.
