Xingyi Wan Fenglin is located in the southwest of Guizhou Province, at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces. It is a typical karst basin with forest landforms in Gu Feng. More than 300 years ago, Xu Xiake, a geographer and traveler in the Ming Dynasty, visited Wan Fenglin and wrote a poem "There are many famous mountains in the world, but only here can it become a peak forest".
Xingyi Wan Fenglin consists of nearly 20,000 peaks and green hills, fanning out from the edge of Peng Qi Plateau and the north bank of Fengwan Lake at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, along the east bank of Huangni River, reaching Anlong and Zhenfeng. It is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, leaning towards Feng Wan Lake and Huangni River. On the upper line, it is bounded by the alpine earth mountain with an altitude of about 1600 meters, and on the lower line, it goes to the subtropical red soil mountain with an altitude of about 800 meters, forming a ringed mountain belt. It is more than 200 kilometers long and 30-50 kilometers wide. Xingyi alone has more than 2,000 square kilometers, accounting for more than two-thirds of Xingyi's land area.
According to the form of peak forest, it can be divided into five types: rush peak forest, sword peak forest, group dragon peak forest, Luohan peak forest and overlapping peak forest, which is one of the three karst landforms in southwest China.
Located in the south of Xingyi City, the peak forest is magical and beautiful, stretching for 15 km, with dense and peculiar peaks, magnificent momentum and perfect overall shape, forming a rare peak forest corridor in the world. Geologically, the north is the peak forest basin, and the south-central part is the peak forest depression and peak cluster mountain. Peak forests and clusters are mostly conical, but also bell-shaped, flat-topped and saddle-shaped, which can be called "China Cone Karst Museum".
Wan Fenglin is divided into Dongfeng forest and Xifeng forest, with different scenery. Dongfeng forest is characterized by towering karst peak forest, while Xifeng forest is a plateau karst landscape. Inside, there are underground rivers and gullies, and caves and peak forests come and go.
Xingyi is mainly inhabited by Buyi people, who are good at singing and dancing. It is a folk rap art-"Eight Tones" which has been spread in Buyi area for generations. The so-called "eight tones" usually include flute, flute (without membrane), ox bone (horse bone), gourd, Qin Yue drum, hug gong, pony gong, hairpin and other musical instruments. Buyi's octave melody is simple, smooth and melodious. It is often used in national festivals, weddings, funerals, building houses, birthdays and other occasions. It is a genre loved by Buyi people and has been circulating in villages in Xingyi for hundreds of years.
You can't go to Wan Fenglin without seeing the sinkhole, just like a UFO landed on the earth and smashed a hole. There is no accurate data on how many sinkholes there are in Fenglin, among which Yugulu, Yangping, Diaojingba and Xiafuli are the most typical sinkholes. Yugu Road sinkhole, 40km northeast of Xingyi City, is called the first sinkhole discovered in China by geological experts.
The bottom is flat and trumpet-shaped, with a height difference of 600 meters, and there are many strange peaks around it. The houses of 126 families living around the pit bottom and some tools for production and living are all made of stones, such as stone foundations, stone walls, stone benches, stone roads and stone tools. There is a spring in the east of the tiankeng, which not only satisfies the drinking water of people and animals in the pit village, but also irrigates nearly 20 hectares of paddy fields. There is a sinkhole in the west to exclude domestic water.
The most amazing thing here is that there is a naturally formed Bagua field lying in the middle of the farmland in Nahuizhai. Its shape is magical and confusing, like a craftsman's creation, with layers and order. There are three natural floor drains in Baguatian, which are bottomless and are called the eyes of the earth.
These ash receiving funnels are wide and shallow dish-shaped funnels. Farmland is centered on the funnel and spreads in an arc, which constitutes a peculiar "gossip" pattern. It is said that stepping on bagua field will promote you to a higher position and make a fortune.
There is also a river that passes through the field but disappears in the field. According to the survey, this river passes through the ground, and it has already seen the light of day more than 20 kilometers away and merged into the Pearl River. This kind of funnel was formed by the local collapse of underground river and the dissolution of surface water, and the ash-receiving funnel group was distributed in an orderly belt, revealing that its lower part was an underground river.
There are also ancient temples, ancient Yingpan and other cultural landscapes, and there are rare10.2 million years ago "Guizhou Dragon Fossil" and "Xingyi People" cultural sites near the top effect. There is also a national scenic spot in the peak forest-Maling River Canyon.
