Bijie

A plateau area in the Wumeng Mountains, with wonders such as the Baili Azalea sea of flowers, Zhijin Cave and the Caohai wetlands.

Bijie lies in northwestern Guizhou in the Wumeng Mountains, bordering Yunnan and Sichuan, with dramatic highland mountain scenery. Baili Azalea Reserve bursts into a vast, sprawling sea of blossoms every spring. Zhijin Cave is known for its richly varied stalactite formations. Caohai in Weining is a highland freshwater lake wetland where migratory birds such as black-necked cranes can be seen in winter, and the upper Chishui River has sights such as Jiudongtian. March to May is for azaleas, summer is cool and good for escaping the heat, and winter suits birdwatching. Bijie Feixiong Airport, Weining Airport and Bijie Station on the Chengdu–Guiyang high-speed railway are the main gateways.
