"The arrogance of Yelang" is a well-known story, appearing in the Yelang ancient country more than two thousand years ago during the Qin and Han dynasties, alongside the ancient Loulan and ancient Qiuci countries, flourishing for a time and renowned throughout the world. Crossing through the mysterious tunnels of history, the charm of Yelang culture is endless. In a Yelang valley in Guizhou, modern imagination of ancient Yelang is fully integrated. Using the phrase "unknown to the world" to describe Nightingale Valley is very appropriate. Before entering the scenic area, a forest blocks out the noise from the city. Looking around, all you see are trees, but once you pass through the Masson pine forest, you discover a hidden paradise. The canyon is long and deep, like a giant tear in the earth. Walking along the valley floor, you'll come across small bridges and flowing water, making for a pleasant journey. Looking up from below, the white clouds are far away, and the towering cliffs are breathtaking! Here is the Nightman under the command of Song Peilun, an artist who has returned from traveling in America. When living in the United States, Song Peilun created "Nightman Castle, Nightman Totem, Nightman Masks", and in China, he also created large-scale Nightman national works such as "Devil City, Nightman Valley", as well as many artworks related to Nightman culture. Nightman Valley is Song Peilun's masterpiece among the green mountains and clear waters.

🗿 Take note: This is the reason I came to Guiyang.

Yelang Valley was a very unique and fun trip! It’s a 15 minute drive from Qingyan Ancient Town and about a 45 minute drive from Guiyang. I travelled by taxi which was both easy and cost effective. Admission price was 40rmb and I spent around an hour at the site. A huge stone castle has been built with numerous stone heads dotted around and throughout the grounds. The heads were rather comical, and there seemed to be a stone faced figure to represent all the emotions you can think of. There is also a beautiful river that flows through the grounds. #travelinspiration #awesomepic #summervacation #summervacation

Yelang Valley tells the tale of an elder's legend, a man named Song Peilun. From a young age, he displayed a unique talent in the arts, and as he grew older, his mastery in the field deepened. In 1997, at the age of 57, after achieving fame and success, he chose to abandon titles that could secure his livelihood, such as 'artist in America' and 'master cartoonist,' to live in seclusion in the mountains, dedicating himself to creation in a valley. The origin of this creation may stem from Song Peilun's childhood dream of building his own 'Peach Blossom Spring'; perhaps it is related to his desire to live out his days with his beloved, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in a romantic love story of growing old together in a quiet castle amidst nature; or it may be inspired by his participation in an American art fair in the 1990s, where he was motivated by the Native Americans' construction of the 'Crazy Horse Memorial' to realize their dreams. Ultimately, after 20 years, the elder built a city known as an 'art kingdom'—Yelang Valley. In this creation, he skillfully integrated artistic concepts with nature, adapting to the local conditions by the mountains and waters, collecting many uniquely shaped stones, striving to maintain their original appearance, and constructing brick by brick in a primitive way. Stepping into the ancient castle, a mysterious atmosphere pervades, related to both the mystery of the ancient Yelang state and the strong religious color of the Nuoxi culture. In fact, during the creation of Yelang Valley, Song Peilun ingeniously combined elements of Guizhou's 'ancient Yelang state' with Nuoxi culture. Yelang Valley is built against the mountains, with a river running through the valley, dividing the castle in two. Looking up from the bottom of the valley, one can see stone statues, stone pillars, the Great Wall of stone, and stone fortresses in succession. The stone statues are varied and well-placed, each with a unique expression and posture, some solemn and dignified, others lively and active, and even the noses, eyes, and crowns on the statues' heads have their own styles. Climbing up the steps, the highest points are the stone Great Wall and stone fortresses. Stone pillars, statues, the Great Wall, fortresses, and the stone steps leading to various places are all made of irregular stones. All of this is a modern person's imagination of the ancient Yelang state, a 20-year dialogue with the earth, bringing the ancient Yelang state in his heart into reality. Song Peilun's journey with Yelang Valley reveals the significant results of twenty years of perseverance. The emergence of Yelang Valley, along with reports by the BBC and visits by international art exchange groups, has transformed this once secluded and mysterious valley from an arrogant cultural symbol of the ancient Yelang king's phrases 'Who is greater than I in Han?' and 'Yelang's self-aggrandizement' into a cultural cornerstone that showcases the confidence of the people of Guizhou and the Chinese nation. Today, the city gate built of bluestone radiates a steady glow under the sunlight, with green vines spreading over it, as if marking a pause in time. This is not the battlefield of the ancient Yelang state, with no iron horses or clashing swords, nor skies filled with the smoke of war, but a castle that has settled over time, carrying a cultural heritage. Here, people can reminisce about history and turn their unknown curiosity into a personal experience.

Look here if you've heard of the story of 'Yelang thinks too highly of itself'! 🌈 The ancient Yelang Kingdom, which emerged during the Qin and Han Dynasties over two thousand years ago, was as famous as the ancient Loulan and Quelan Kingdoms, and was renowned all over the world at that time. 🌈 This ecological garden, which combines mountains, water, forests, caves and other natural landscapes, and includes cultural landscapes such as 'ancient barracks', 'bird-loving garden', and 'slate houses', is located in the small canyon at the foot of Doupeng Mountain in Huaxi University Town, Guian New District. It was completed by Song Peilun, a famous painter in Guiyang, with unique conception and creativity. 📍Location: Yelang Valley Karst Ecological Park, Huaxi District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province 🚕Transportation: It is recommended to drive there, which is more convenient. 💡Practical tips: The whole scenic area is not large, mainly built around a river with numerous stone statues on both sides. It takes about 2 hours to visit. There are not many places to eat around, so it is recommended to bring some snacks.

The mysterious tribe in the mountains, Huaxi Yelang Valley Yelang was the first state established by the ancestors of ethnic minorities in the southwest region of China, which is very famous in Guizhou and later became part of the Han Dynasty. The idiom 'Yelang thinks too highly of itself' originates from here. Song Peilun: An artist who returned from America, Song Peilun's Yelang Valley, a utopia for one person. Huaxi Yelang Valley is a stone kingdom painstakingly created by the famous Guizhou artist Mr. Song Peilun, who spent his life savings and 20 years to build it by hand. Based on Guizhou's typical karst topography, combined with the architectural culture of the ancient Yelang state and the local Nuo opera culture, it is a castle complex filled with the mystery of primitive exotic cultures. Huaxi Yelang Valley was the most impressive sight on my trip to Guizhou. Hundreds of stone pillar statues, each built from blocks of stone with different expressions - laughing, angry, eerie, terrified... Some of the stone carvings are also covered with weeds and moss, standing silently there, quietly guarding this paradise. In addition to stone sculptures and stone art, the park also features pottery works and cultural and creative products, all of which are very impressive. After visiting several shops in the city of Guiyang, I could not find such locally characteristic cultural and creative products anymore!!

|Is Guiyang Huaxi Night Lang Valley really worth visiting? I found this place from the photos everyone shared online📷, and it truly seems like a photogenic spot. Hidden in the urban area, this mysterious ancient kingdom▶️ also piques my curiosity about what kind of sanctuary a senior artist has spent decades building. There are mixed reviews online about this place; some feel that the 20 yuan ticket price is not worth it, the site is too crowded to get good photos... and so on. If you're just going to take photos, this is a nice place👇 Pay attention to the following points to enhance your experience: ▶️Consider wearing exotic or brightly colored clothing. ▶️The scenic area is somewhat close to residential areas, so be mindful of your composition/it's best to bring a friend who is good at photography or plan your shots in advance to ensure quick and effective photography. ▶️Try to visit early in the morning or late in the evening when it's less crowded/most spots are designed with the 'big scene, small people' composition in mind, and it's indeed hard to take good photos when it's crowded/or you could use a large aperture for close-up shots. Overall, our personal impression was positive👀. The first view upon entering can be described as stunning🙋. It was an overcast day, and we entered the park in the evening📷. Even photos taken with a phone turned out great.

Huaxi Yelang Valley Scenic Area is located in Huaxi District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. It is a national 3A level tourist area, covering an area of about 200 hectares. Yelang Ancient Karst Ecological Park is an ecological park with karst landform as the main theme, and the whole ecological park is located in the canyon. Doupeng Mountain is said to have been the residence of the Yelang King's successor, Jinzhusi, and the ruins of the ancient Yelang Tunbao are still left at the foot of the mountain, hence the name of Yelang Valley. Historical documents such as the Historical Records record that Doupeng Mountain was the jurisdiction of the ancient Yelang State Road Mansion and the location of the Jinzhu Mansion of the descendants of the Night Wolf King. Doupeng Mountain not only has rich historical and cultural connotations of the ancient Yelang country, but also has unique natural scenery. Climbing to the top of the ancient city wall, overlooking the karst landform and stone buildings, feeling the magic of nature and the ingenious design of human beings, it is amazing.
