Xiaqi Kong is located in the southwestern part of Libo County, Guizhou. At the northern end of the scenic area stands the ancient Xiaqi Kong Bridge, built in the 15th year of the Daoguang reign (1836), from which the scenic area derives its name. The Laya Waterfall surges skyward and cascades horizontally. With the waterfall alongside the path and visitors standing directly beneath it, the experience feels particularly exhilarating and intimate. The 68-tiered waterfall, with its cascading tiers, gushes down with a gurgling roar, each tier taking a unique form and presenting a magnificent spectacle that is truly breathtaking. In the Water Forest, trees grow from the rocks and water flows over them. Walking among the branches and through the misty waves offers endless delight. The area features numerous attractions for visitors to explore. Currently open to the public are attractions such as Tonggu Bridge, the Ancient Bridge of Xiaoqikong and its Huanbi Pool, Yuanyang Lake, Wolong Pool, and the Wolong River Ecological Corridor rafting tour.

Afterward, we’ll take a bus to Xijiang Thousand-Household Miao Village—a place where beauty speaks for itself (the 4-station electric cart ride, priced at 30 RMB per person, is not included and must be paid for separately). As the world’s largest Miao ethnic settlement, you can stroll along the ancient streets, take a break on the wind-and-rain bridge, and savor the tranquility of rural life. As night falls, gaze out from the observation deck to see the lights across the mountains shimmering like stars in the sky—a truly magical sight.

Friendly Reminder: Accommodations will be arranged based on actual booking availability. During peak season, the village gets very crowded, and the return to Xijiang on the same day is late and tiring; please be prepared for this. When staying in Xijiang, you will need to carry your own luggage and walk (10–20 minutes) to the guesthouse within the scenic area. The guesthouses are built along the mountainside, with limited rooms and generally basic facilities. A mixed-group tour may be accommodated across several guesthouses. During peak season, if the hotels listed in the itinerary are fully booked, alternative accommodations will be arranged, but we guarantee rooms with air conditioning and private bathrooms.
