Then head to Tianlong Tunpu Ancient Town. Dixi (Ground Opera) performances, traditional opera mask-making, and Ming-style clothing provide a vivid glimpse into the daily life of Ming-era military settlers 600 years ago.

• Day 5: Libo - Daqikong Scenic Spot

  Today, you'll explore the other part of Qikong Scenic Area, Daqikong Scenic Spot. Unlike the exquisiteness and daintiness of Xiaoqikong yesterday, the landscapes here, with sheer cliffs, towering limestone peaks, and mysterious caves, are much more rugged and full of primitive power.

  After viewing Daqikong, move by car to Kaili City for 3 hours.
