A Surge in Visitors to Guizhou's Scenic Marvel

In a captivating showcase of Guizhou's allure, journalists and cultural figures from Hong Kong and Macao embarked on a media tour that highlighted the breathtaking Xiaoqikong Scenic Area on April 14, 2025. Co-organized by TVB, this excursion drew a vibrant group of nineteen participants, coinciding perfectly with a wave of early Easter travelers from the Greater Bay Area, eager to explore the region's ecological treasures.

Xiaoqikong: An Eco-Treasure of the Greater Bay Area

Often referred to as the ‘Emerald on the Earth's Belt,’ this UNESCO World Heritage site dazzles visitors with its ancient Seven Hole Bridge rising majestically through the morning mist. The serene blue waters reflect the shimmering bridge, creating a stunning backdrop for exploration. Adding to the enchantment, the area is alive with the sound of a 68-step waterfall, while lush green vines dance alongside eager swimmers.

A Cultural Encounter Amidst Nature's Beauty

As the journalists traversed the picturesque karst landscapes, they captured the enchanting play of light at Wolong Pool. Heartwarming scenes unfolded, with families from Hong Kong and Macao gathering for photos in front of the majestic Cuigu Waterfall, showcasing the scenic locale's magnetic charm.

Growing Attractions and Easy Access for Greater Bay Residents

The convergence of journalists with fellow tourists from their hometowns highlighted Guizhou’s rising status as a sought-after holiday escape within the Greater Bay Area. New developments—like the high-speed railway linking Guigang and Guangzhou and unique themed tours emphasizing ecological education and cultural heritage—are transforming Guizhou into a must-visit destination. One member of the group aptly noted, "Guizhou's ascent as the close-to-home getaway for Greater Bay residents has become a delightful reality, with each stunning landscape telling a part of China’s rich narrative."

Showcasing Modern Guizhou to the World

The extensive coverage of this media tour, featuring both text and video segments, will be broadcast across leading platforms throughout the Greater Bay Area and beyond. The objective? To unveil a modern Guizhou, celebrated for both its ecological beauty and warm hospitality. Just as the age-old tree rooted near the ancient bridge at Xiaoqikong symbolizes resilience, Guizhou's tourism sector is flourishing, welcoming travelers from all corners of the globe.
