Wanfenglin Peak Forest
万峰林
A peak forest of more than 20,000 cone-shaped karst peaks. 'Among all the mountains under heaven, only here do the peaks form a forest.' Fields, villages, and the Bagua Fields are all visible.
Wanfenglin is located south of Xingyi city and is the core of the Wanfenglin–Malinghe River National Geopark. It stretches about 200 km and consists of more than 20,000 cone-shaped stone peaks, divided into East Peak Forest and West Peak Forest. The main paid scenic area currently open is the West Peak Forest around Xiawutun. Between the peak clusters lie broad flat fields, with the Nahui River winding through them, and Buyei villages dotting the landscape. East Peak Forest is more pristine and borders Wanfeng Lake. There are three ways to visit. First, take the scenic area's sightseeing bus along the mountainside road, stopping at several viewpoints such as Guanfeng Terrace, General Peak, the Bagua Fields, and Wanfo Temple, to look down on the rolling peaks and the round 'Bagua Fields.' This takes about 2 to 3 hours. Second, cycle or walk through the fields at the foot of the peaks, passing through Nahui Village, Louna, and other villages, to see the peaks reflected up close. Third, take a hot-air balloon or drone aerial photography (subject to weather). Reference prices: entry is about 70 yuan and the sightseeing bus about 50 yuan. A VIP sightseeing bus is also available, subject to the scenic area's announcements. Getting there: a taxi from Xingyi city takes about 20 minutes to the visitor center. Notes: the summer sun is strong, so protect yourself from sunburn when cycling. Last bus times are subject to on-site confirmation.
