This is am amazing attraction, from start to finish. I enjoyed the walk to the cave which borders a small river and ends in front of a very high waterfall. The entrance lake to access the caves is ... at the top!! (there is a lift). The ride is a real thrill. Loved it.

There are remarkable buildings hundred of years old but also mixed with new constructions, unfortunately it is not 100% preserved as originally.
There are however very impressive old houses in stone and you can also attend shows of traditional performance with masks like Chinese opera style.
I still recommend the visit, combined with the visit of the fortress temple just a couple of kms away. It was really great.

The Wenmiao Confucius Temple was build during the Ming Dynasty era in the 14th century and bears some resemblance in style and architecture with the Forbidden City, which was build in the same period. Is has 4 courtyards and it honours the life and achievements of famous philosopher Confucius and his disciples.
You can see the normal characteristics of Chinese temples such as the depictions of dragons on the roof tiles and the marble stones Bridges.
While you are there you can enjoy a nice cup of green tea, while you enjoy the quiet atmospehere.

I always wanted to be in the midst of the golden sea of canola flowers. The most famous in China is located in Luoping County, Yunnan, covering 13,300 hectares of canola flowers. It blossoms most beautifully from every Jan-Feb.
However, I missed the Luoping Canola season. This April, I decided to catch the candola flowers in Anshun County (安顺), Guizhou with my friend Patricia. Anshun is located south-western of Guizhou province. We took a 6hrs train from Kunming north-east direction (running at 50-60km/hour). We plan to visit Yunfeng Eight Village (云峰八寨屯堡) and Canola Fields (油菜花)
We took a 14:00hr train, supposed to reach by 20:00hr. It was raining towards Anshun hence; we were delayed for 2 hours in the train. By the time we reached Anshun, it was already 22:00hr.
The following day, we took a local bus to Anshun East Bus Terminal and purchased a ticket to Le Ping (乐平). The bus driver was kind, to tell us where to stop in 乐平 and walked through a backdoor. We need not pay our entrance fee (RMB 70) to Yunfeng Eight Village.
It is a very small town and we strolled 45 minutes around 云峰八寨屯堡. She is traced back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and has been fortified by stone constructions.
The 屯堡 women's costumes and accessories are beautiful. Knee-length robes with wider sleeves are typical of Tan Bao women's dressing styles. The robe's neckline, cuffs and front are embroidered with colourful designs. They are very good in their embroidery.
Mostly old folks still stayed at 八寨屯堡. While the women were busy, the old men were enjoying their ciggie.
Thereafter, we asked the locals for directions to the canola fields. It is apparently a 10 minutes’ walk upwards from the main entrance of Yunfeng Eight Village. We were absolutely awed by the beautiful golden sea of canola flowers fields. She is so beautiful.
We were happily taking photos of the canola flower fields the entire afternoon and took the last bus at 6pm from 乐平 to Anshun. The day, we will head for Huangguoshu National Park.
Tip 1: You can buy train ticket online via www.ctrip.com from Kunming to Anshun. Remember to bring your passport. If you are late, the ticket you purchased are changeable within the first 2 hours.
Tip 2: Bring snacks & instant noodles for your long train ride. There is hot water in the train. They also sell local Chinese food via push cart.

I was expecting to see many stone statues lying in the open but was surprised once inside the building. It is just like a huge and very well-organized indoor museum with displays of beautiful stones and wood carvings. The number of items on display was huge and the items are of very high quality and wide variety, many being of seemingly high value. They were the collections of a rich Chinese, I was told. It was hard to imagine that one person could own that many precious collections. At the end of the tour, one walks through a shop selling stone and wood ornaments; however the prices are high for the average tourist. Quite a unique experience.
