Daqikong Scenic Area

🚄 High-speed train from Guiyang to Libo, 7:43 AM–9:25 AM. After exiting the station, cross the crosswalk to find the shuttle bus stop for the scenic area. It costs ¥10. 20 mins to reach the East Gate of Xiaoqikong. Just scan the QR code on the back of the seat to buy your ticket. 🎒 Arrived at the Xiaoqikong East Gate Visitor Center at 10:00 AM to store luggage. There are free lockers right inside the McDonald's next to the service hall! You can also use the manual luggage storage service. Manual storage must be picked up by 5:00 PM, and lockers are available until 6:00 PM. It's all free! Free! 🆓 🗺️ Route: Enter the scenic area and walk about 200 meters to the Daqikong Station → Sightseeing bus to Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge → Laya Waterfall → 68-Level Cascade Waterfall → Shuanglong Waterfall → Broken Bridge Waterfall → Xiangshui River → Forest on Stone (Water Forest was closed for maintenance at the time) → Sightseeing bus to Cuigu Waterfall → Cuigu Wetland → Sightseeing bus to Wolongtan → Sightseeing bus back to East Gate → Daqikong (round trip by bamboo raft). We didn't go to Yuanyang Lake due to time constraints. ✨ The walk from Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge to the Forest on Stone is incredibly beautiful! There's a large patch of beautiful spider lilies at Cuigu Wetland 🌸. With small boats drifting between the green mountains and clear water, a daytime stroll by the river is so healing. 💡 We chose to enter and exit from the East (touring from East to West). In reality, the uphill slope isn't that steep! The key is that this route lets you walk towards the scenery, so you don't even notice the slope because of the beautiful views. The experience was great 👍. Touring from West to East means walking along with the attractions, but you have to turn around to look at them, which is less comfortable. 🌊 There are two routes at Wolongtan. The left route is easier. We chose the right one, which takes a bit more effort to hike up, but the scenery is better. Both routes meet at the viewing platform below. 🛶 Daqikong: Worried about missing our high-speed train, we chose to take a round-trip bamboo raft. It costs ¥40 per person for a round trip. It takes about 10 mins one way to reach the pier. The disembarkation pier is on the right. Walk forward about 100 meters, cross a rusty iron bridge to the left, and continue walking for about 10 mins to reach Tiansheng Bridge. Since Yaofeng Cave was closed for maintenance at the time, we returned the same way to the pier and took the bamboo raft back. 🚌 After exiting the East Gate, we picked up our luggage at the visitor center and took the shuttle bus at 3:40 PM to Libo Station to catch the high-speed train to Anshun. Stay tuned for the detailed itinerary of our one-day trip to Huangguoshu Waterfall. 📌 Tips: 1️⃣ Be sure to buy the sightseeing bus ticket when purchasing your admission, as some attractions are quite far apart. 2️⃣ If your physical fitness isn't too poor, touring from East to West offers a better experience!

While most visitors head straight to the famous Xiaoqikong, Daqikong Scenic Area offers a very different experience. Here, the landscape feels larger, quieter, and more untamed. Towering karst cliffs rise on both sides of the river, dense forest blankets the valley, and the emerald water winds through a landscape shaped by millions of years of geological activity. The star attraction is the spectacular Natural Stone Arch Bridge, a massive limestone formation spanning the river like a gateway carved by nature itself. Standing beneath it, it's hard not to feel small. The scale of the arch and the surrounding canyon creates a sense of awe that photos struggle to capture. Compared with Xiaoqikong's delicate streams and bridges, Daqikong feels more rugged and dramatic. The scenery is less about intricate details and more about the sheer power of nature. 📍 Location: Daqikong Scenic Area 🌉 Highlight: The enormous natural limestone arch spanning the canyon ⛰️ Landscape: Karst cliffs, forests, and emerald waters 🌿 Atmosphere: Peaceful, wild, and less crowded than nearby attractions 📸 Best for: Nature photography and geological wonders ✨ Signature feeling: Walking through a landscape where nature seems to have built its own cathedral If Xiaoqikong is a watercolor painting, Daqikong is an epic landscape carved in stone. 🌉⛰️💚✨

With a joint ticket for Libo's Xiaoqikong and Daqikong in hand, will you choose to visit Daqikong or skip it entirely? 📍Location: Libo, Qiannan, Guizhou | Daqikong Scenic Area ⏱Duration: 2–3 hours 📅Best season: Summer 👣Suitable for: Those who enjoy canyon landscapes and prefer quiet, less crowded scenery; moderate fitness level. If you are short on time or only want to see exquisite water features, you may choose to skip it ✅My actual itinerary I arrived in Libo County at noon and stayed near the East Gate of Xiaoqikong. I struggled with the itinerary for a long time: many guides say Daqikong is optional, while others say the "Golden Light through the Cave" at the Natural Bridge is unforgettable. I finally decided: leave the afternoon for Daqikong and spend the next full day exploring Xiaoqikong. I tested this timing, and it was the most comfortable. 1. 4:00 PM: Ticket check at the East Gate, head straight to the boat dock 2. 4:10 PM: Buy a one-way boat ticket for ¥20 and take a boat into the canyon (about 10 minutes, 8 people per boat) 3. 4:20 PM: Disembark and walk along the boardwalk, passing the Terror Gorge suspension bridge and Terror Gorge 4. 4:45 PM: Arrive at the Natural Bridge and wait for the legendary "Golden Light through the Cave" (golden window: 4:30 PM–5:20 PM, sunny days only! You won't see it at all on cloudy days) 5. 5:20 PM: After seeing the Natural Bridge, walk back to the dock along the boardwalk on the other side 6. On the way, walk 800m to visit the Daqikong Ancient Bridge 7. 6:30 PM: Take the scenic shuttle bus back to the East Gate The whole trip didn't involve excessive walking, and the boardwalk is generally flat, but the sections near the water are damp year-round and very slippery. 🌟Core highlights (my personal experience) They say Xiaoqikong is delicate and graceful, while Daqikong is rugged and masculine. Xiaoqikong wins with its lively, turquoise water, while Daqikong wins with the majestic power of its karst canyon. 1. Natural Bridge | The Oriental Arc de Triomphe A natural stone arch 73m high and 22m wide, formed by the collapse of an underground river. On sunny afternoons from 4:30 PM–5:20 PM, sunlight slants through the cave, covering the entire arch in a soft golden glow. This is Daqikong's unique magical moment. If you come on a cloudy day, it's just an ordinary giant stone cave, and your expectations might be disappointed. 2. Terror Gorge The cliffs on both sides are almost vertical, and the narrowest point only allows small boats to pass, with a sliver of sky visible when looking up. Legend has it that shouting loudly will cause rocks to fall, but the real reason is that macaques get startled and run through the mountain stream, knocking rocks loose. The canyon is deep and mysterious, perfect for cinematic photos. 3. Daqikong Ancient Bridge [Important tip to avoid pitfalls] Many people enter the scenic area and look everywhere for the ancient bridge! The Daqikong Ancient Bridge is not inside the canyon tour area! It is on the side of the road outside the East Gate. You need to walk for 20–30 minutes or take a shuttle bus to the Daqikong Bridge station after finishing the canyon tour. Don't waste your energy looking for it deep in the canyon. 4. Optional activity: Kayaking/Paddleboarding Families with children can try this. It costs ¥50/person/hour, with an instructor accompanying you. It is recommended to prepare a waterproof bag for your phone and store your belongings. 🎫Tickets & transport | Money-saving tips (tested and effective) · Joint ticket for Xiaoqikong and Daqikong: Admission + shuttle bus is ¥170/person. The admission ticket is valid for 7 days, and the shuttle bus is valid for 2 days. It is better to buy the joint ticket than to buy the Daqikong ticket separately. Daqikong only: ¥55 in peak season, ¥45 in off-season. Not recommended if you only visit Daqikong. · Opening hours: 8:00 AM–4:30 PM. Entry stops at 4:30 PM. If you want to see the golden light, you must arrive in the afternoon. · Public transport: From Libo High-Speed Railway Station, take the direct scenic shuttle for ¥10/person, which takes 30 minutes to reach the Xiaoqikong East Gate. Carpooling is also ¥10. A taxi to the East Gate is about ¥25; it's more cost-effective if 3–4 people travel together. · Driving: Navigate to "Xiaoqikong East Gate." The East Gate parking lot is closest to the Daqikong entrance. 🚶Comparison of two routes | Choose according to your needs Route A | Relaxed boat version ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Best for seniors and children, 1.5 hours) East Gate → Buy a one-way boat ticket at the dock → Take a boat into the canyon → Disembark and walk 500m to the Natural Bridge → Return by boat along the same route ✅Pros: Saves energy, boat ride through the canyon, immersive view of the cliffs on both sides, great for photos; ❌Cons: Misses the experience of walking along the boardwalk and feeling the canyon's imposing presence. Route B | Full hiking version ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (For those with decent stamina, 2.5–3 hours) East Gate → Walk along the boardwalk into the canyon → Terror Gorge suspension bridge → Terror Gorge → Natural Bridge → Walk back → Stop by the Daqikong Ancient Bridge ✅Pros: Scenery unfolds gradually, quiet and less crowded, can stop to take photos at any time; ❌Cons: Long walking distance, slippery boardwalk, not recommended on rainy days. My choice: Boat in, walk out. Taking the boat into the canyon to see the turquoise water and walking back to enjoy the scenery slowly is the best combination for the experience. ⚠️Pitfalls to avoid | Hard-earned experience, don't make these mistakes 1. ❌Don't come to Daqikong in the morning! The angle of the sun is wrong in the morning, and there is no golden light at the Natural Bridge. You'll waste your trip. To see the golden light, you must enter the park after 4:00 PM on a sunny day. 2. ❌Don't buy a round-trip boat ticket! It costs ¥40 for a round trip, but a one-way ticket for ¥20 is enough. You can walk back after seeing the Natural Bridge, which is more flexible. Round-trip tickets must be purchased before 4:00 PM and have many restrictions. 3. ❌Yaofeng Cave is not fully open yet. Don't rush there with high expectations based on online guides. You will likely find the boardwalk closed. Check the official "Yunyou Libo" announcement in advance. 4. ❌Wear regular canvas shoes! The boardwalk near the water is damp year-round with lots of moss, making it extremely slippery. Non-slip sports shoes/water shoes are a must. 5. ❌Don't bring a lot of dry food. There are very few kiosks in the scenic area. Just bring water and a few snacks. The mist is heavy, so bring a raincoat; umbrellas are not very useful. 6. ❌Don't enter the canyon on days with heavy rain! There is a high risk of falling rocks. The scenic area will temporarily close the boardwalk if it rains. Be sure to check the weather before you go. 7. ❌Don't try to squeeze Daqikong and Xiaoqikong into the same day! Rushing through two scenic areas in one day is exhausting and superficial. Recommendation: Daqikong in the afternoon (half a day), and a full day for Xiaoqikong the next day. 🎒Essentials list (tested and useful) ✅Non-slip sports shoes: Most important. The boardwalk has water, and one fall can ruin your trip ✅Raincoat: The waterfall mist is heavy; a raincoat is better than an umbrella ✅Sun hat + mosquito repellent: Lots of insects in the canyon forest, and strong UV rays in summer ✅Waterproof phone bag: A must if you plan to go kayaking ✅A little water + energy snacks: Few supply points in the scenic area 💬Many people argue: Is Daqikong really worth visiting? If you only have one day and are short on time, prioritize Xiaoqikong and you can skip Daqikong. If you are staying in Libo for a night and have a joint ticket, and your stamina is decent, I strongly suggest leaving half a day for Daqikong. Xiaoqikong is crowded, while Daqikong is quiet and less crowded. The ruggedness of the canyon is something Xiaoqikong doesn't have. Especially the "Golden Light through the Cave" on a sunny evening—seeing it with your own eyes makes it worth the trip. But if it's cloudy, the scenery is greatly diminished, so lower your expectations. 💬With a joint ticket for Libo's Xiaoqikong and Daqikong in hand, will you choose to visit Daqikong or skip it entirely? Have you ever encountered a scenic spot that was "hyped up online but ordinary in person" or "one you planned to give up on but was surprisingly stunning"?

but after actually going, I think it's quite worth a visit! Da Qikong and Xiao Qikong have completely different styles✨ Xiao Qikong is more delicate and beautiful, while Da Qikong has more of a canyon and primeval forest feel🌲 The scenery is more open, and there are relatively fewer people, making it very comfortable to walk around~ I took an electric bamboo raft into the scenic area🛶 Moving slowly along the river, with lush mountains and forests on both banks, the experience was quite good! The boat drifting leisurely between the green water and green mountains, the feeling of walking by the river during the day is so healing🍃 After getting off the boat, continue walking along the trail. The whole way is basically canyon scenery, and the air is super comfortable😌 At the end is the most iconic attraction of Da Qikong—the Natural Bridge🌉 A huge natural stone bridge spans the canyon, and standing underneath it is truly shocking! Many photos can't capture its scale; you can only feel the magnificence of this natural formation when you are there in person🤯 After seeing the Natural Bridge, walk back from the opposite bank🚶 When you reach the sightseeing bus stop, don't rush to get on! After crossing the crosswalk, follow the signs for "Da Qikong Ancient Bridge" and keep walking for about 800 meters to reach the Da Qikong Ancient Bridge🌁 The ancient bridge isn't particularly stunning, but as the source of the scenic area's name, it's still meaningful to see it while you're there~ With mountains and water accompanying you along the way, walking slowly is actually more comfortable than rushing💕 📍Route: Take the bamboo raft in → Walk to the Natural Bridge → Return from the opposite bank → Da Qikong Ancient Bridge → Exit the scenic area 💰Cost: Electric bamboo raft round trip is CNY 40/person, one-way is CNY 20/person; you can also choose to hike the whole way ⏰Time: About 2–3 hours

Hi everyone, I'm (Guide Version). I hope this Da Qikong guide helps you have a better time! When traveling, having fun is what matters most 😆 First, everyone should be familiar with the Libo Xiao Qikong scenic area by now. Da Qikong and Xiao Qikong are actually one scenic area, named after the two seven-hole ancient bridges. The difference is just that one has bigger holes and the other has smaller ones 🤣 🎫 Admission ticket + sightseeing bus: 170 per person. Valid for both Da Qikong and Xiao Qikong. The admission ticket is valid for 7 days, and the sightseeing bus is valid for 2 days (must buy, you won't want to walk). Open 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM 🚗 Transportation If driving, navigate to Xiao Qikong East Gate. Public transportation: Take the high-speed train to Libo Station. Upon exiting, there is a direct shuttle bus to Xiao Qikong East Gate for 10 per person. There are also many drivers at the station entrance offering carpooling to the Xiao Qikong scenic area/homestays for 10 per person. If you are in a hurry or in a group of 3–4 people, I recommend taking a taxi. It's more cost-effective and saves time. It costs about 25 yuan to get to Xiao Qikong East Gate. PS: On the way from Libo Station to Xiao Qikong, there are many loquat trees. They are harvested after May Day and sold on the roadside. Be sure to buy some if you pass by; they are super sweet 😋. From mid-August to mid-March, pomelos are sold on the roadside. Finally, here is the Da Qikong tour route 👇🏻 Last entry to Da Qikong scenic area is at 5:00 PM. ① Ticket check at the scenic area East Gate ② Follow the "Da Qikong Scenic Spot" signs and walk 300 meters to the Da Qikong scenic area entrance ③ There is a boat ticket office at the entrance. One-way is ¥20, round-trip is ¥40. Round-trip tickets must be purchased before 4:00 PM. You can buy a one-way ticket first and flexibly arrange your return transportation based on the situation ④ Board the boat (8 people per boat). The boat moves slowly through the green water and mountains, and the scenery on both sides is super healing 🏞️ ⑤ Disembark and start walking, passing by: 📍 Terror Gorge Suspension Bridge 📍 Terror Gorge. Legend has it that if you shout loudly, rocks will fall. In reality, it's macaques getting startled by human voices and running through the mountains, causing rocks to fall. It takes 15 minutes to reach the final destination, 📍 Natural Bridge, the core attraction of Da Qikong, known as the "Arc de Triomphe of the East." If the weather is good, after 4:00 PM, you can see the golden sunset shining through the bridge arch, which is very beautiful 🌅 Take photos for 10 minutes, then walk for 15 minutes from the other side back to the boat boarding point. Once there, you can choose to take the boat back or walk back. Walking takes about half an hour longer than taking the boat, but walking along the river during the day is super comfortable 🚶 ⑥ The Da Qikong Ancient Bridge is not inside the Da Qikong scenic area. If you want to go, you need to exit the Da Qikong scenic area and walk for 20–30 minutes to reach it. You will pass by the Da Qikong Ancient Bridge on the road from the Xiao Qikong scenic area to the East Gate. Some bus drivers might tell you about it, but you need to keep an eye out yourself~

I really, really, really have to say it ten thousand times!! Da Qikong is just too beautiful 😭✨ Who gets it! Every snapshot is wallpaper-worthy 📸 This is the Da Qikong Scenic Area in Libo, Guizhou 📍Libo County, Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province A place favored by God "Beautiful mountains and clear waters" isn't even enough to describe its beauty 🌿 🏞️ Key Highlights: Natural Bridge! A super breathtaking natural stone arch River water as green as jade Green mountains on both banks reflected in the water When clouds and mist swirl, it's like a fairyland ☁️ The best part is!! The landscapes here really have an ethereal vibe Every frame is breathtakingly beautiful No wonder they say, "Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven, but Libo's scenery surpasses Guilin's" 💚 💫 Travel Tips: Wear light-colored clothes for great photos! I recommend going in the morning when there are fewer people and the scenery is beautiful You must take a boat ride on the river! The perspective is amazing In short! Da Qikong is truly incredible Once you come, you won't want to leave And once you leave, you'll want to come back!

⛵️🛥 Taking a boat ride is a must when visiting the Libo Daqikong Scenic Area. It is a very cost-effective way to get around. The one-way trip takes about 20 mins and costs ¥20 per person, easily taking you through the karst canyon to the foot of the Natural Bridge. After entering the scenic area from the East Gate, head straight to the pier. Take the boat through the Terror Gorge, with 100-meter-high cliffs on both sides, allowing you to enjoy the canyon scenery without walking. Walking after disembarking: Pass by the Terror Gorge Suspension Bridge → Terror Gorge → Natural Bridge, and the final spot is the "Oriental Arc de Triomphe" for photos. 💡 Golden Light Through the Cave: On sunny days, around 4:30 PM–5:20 PM, the sunset shines through the Natural Bridge arch, turning the entire bridge into a golden archway. This is the most photogenic moment in the entire scenic area.

🚶Route: Enter through the West Gate of Xiaoqikong and exit through the East Gate. It's all downhill and super easy! Take the shuttle bus to visit Wolongtan, Cuigu Waterfall, and the Forest on Stone in order. The whole walk is very relaxing—perfect for lazy travelers💯 🛶Daqikong requires a bamboo raft for entry and exit, costing 40 yuan round trip. If you're short on time, I recommend Xiaoqikong more~ 📸Even though there was no sunshine that day, the rainy weather actually made for great photos! Small boats drifting between the green waters and blue mountains, and a walk by the river during the day is super healing. The atmosphere is just perfect✨

Upon entering the Daechilgong tourist site, I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of nature. The magnificent Cheonsaenggyo Bridge stretched before my eyes, spanning between cliffs in a breathtaking display. The towering, sheer cliffs resembled a masterpiece sculpted by nature itself. The sound of the stream flowing tickled my ears, adding to the mystical atmosphere. Deep within the valley, lush green forests thrived, radiating vitality. Daechilgong is a place that encapsulates the majestic scenery gifted by nature. During my stay, my heart was deeply moved and captivated by its beauty. This is a special place I would love to visit again.

Little Seven Holes and Big Seven Holes / The Emerald Fallen to Earth Here to share the beautiful blue and green scenery again In mid-March (taking advantage of the off-season, which is very important!) I visited Guizhou for the first time On the first day in Libo, we had a bright sunny day (if it rains, the water turns like mung bean soup!) The biggest worry before departure was the weather (and indeed, the following days brought wind and rain) My teammate said it’s even more beautiful than Jiuzhaigou Hurriedly took in as many breaths of the forest’s negative ions as possible It took about six hours to finish both Little Seven Holes and Big Seven Holes Not a bit of regret, not a bit at all If you have time, I still recommend seeing them all For Little Seven Holes, we entered and exited from the east route For Big Seven Holes, I highly recommend taking a one-way boat (very comfortable) I admired it for almost two months before posting this haha

Hi, I’m Kaka. It’s confirmed! If you find Little Seven Holes delicate and beautiful, then Big Seven Holes offers you pure power and visual impact. This autumn light hiking guide will take you to appreciate the grandeur of the natural bridge and the depth of the canyon in the most leisurely way. 「Theme Route: Geological Wonder Exploration Line」 Theme: Focus on admiring the karst landform masterpiece—the natural bridge and canyon. Route: Outbound: Recommended to enter from the East Gate by boat. Traveling on water offers a unique perspective, allowing you to experience the feeling of “mountains and waters intertwining with no apparent path,” while saving energy. Core Tour: After disembarking, walk to the natural bridge to admire and photograph it from multiple angles, feeling its overwhelming majesty. Return: It is suggested to walk back along the riverside plank road. The scenery differs greatly from the water route, allowing close observation of riverside vegetation and karst rock details. 「Highlight Recommendations: Suitable for Different Groups」 【A Must-Visit for Geography and Geology Enthusiasts】 The natural bridge is a typical karst landform product, a living geology textbook. 【A Must-Visit for Photography Enthusiasts】 The huge scale contrasts, light and shadow effects, and water reflections are perfect materials for stunning photos. 【Top Choice for Those Seeking a Shocking Experience】 The sense of smallness standing under the natural bridge is a unique experience that many mature scenic spots cannot offer. 「Hidden Activities: Be a Geological Observer」 ✅ Find Rock Layer Textures: Carefully observe the inner walls of the natural bridge arch and the rock walls on both sides of the canyon to see the layers left by billions of years of geological changes. ✅ Observe Aquatic Life: The water in Big Seven Holes is crystal clear; in safe areas, you can notice small fish swimming and unique aquatic plants. ✅ Listen to Natural Echoes: Clap or shout under the natural bridge to hear clear echoes, a wonderful combination of acoustics and geological structure. 「Practical Information: Cost Breakdown」 Example for visiting Big Seven Holes (per person): Transportation: Round-trip bus fare between Libo County and the scenic area is about 20-30 RMB. Tickets: Combined ticket for Big and Little Seven Holes is 170 RMB/person (includes sightseeing bus), valid for 2 days. Boat Ticket: One-way 20 RMB/person (optional). Meals: Simple lunch inside the scenic area costs about 30-50 RMB. Total: Half-day tour costs about 250-300 RMB per person (excluding accommodation). 「In-Depth Experience: The Pleasure of Walking Back」 Unlike the excitement and anticipation when entering the valley by boat, the mood during the walk back is content and calm. The afternoon sunlight slants into the canyon, tinting everything with warm tones. We walk slowly, stopping occasionally to look at reflections in the water or study the peculiar plants by the roadside. Without the motor noise of the boat, the canyon feels even more tranquil. This easy hike is the best way to digest the visual feast. This guide helps you truly feel the majestic beauty of Big Seven Holes.
