Guizhou also has Swan Castle, a castle hidden in the middle of the lake. If you didn’t tell me, you would have thought you were in Europe.

Before coming to Xingyi, Guizhou, I never knew that there was such a city in Guizhou with a leisurely and slow life and beautiful natural scenery. At Wanfeng Lake in Xingyi, I enjoyed the karst landscape of lakes and mountains. , breaking into the picture surrounded by thousands of peaks, the green mountains and green waters are sparkling, and all the beautiful encounters are thanks to the miraculous workmanship of nature. In the middle of Wanfeng Lake, there is a castle standing alone in the middle of the lake. The castle attraction that many people want to visit most when they come to Wanfeng Lake is this castle. This castle is actually a hotel building in Jilongbao Resort.

On the sightseeing boat, I discovered that the water of Wanfeng Lake was drying up. The low water level caused the peaks protruding from the water to reveal white stone walls. The white stone walls were in the picture of green mountains and water. Especially prominent, there is a white transition between the two greens. Wandering on Wanfeng Lake by boat is a very relaxing feeling. The scorching sun has dispersed the lingering clouds and mist, the clear blue sky, green mountains and green water, slowly passing through the peaks, and the wind carrying hot air makes people lazy. of. Wanfeng Lake has the same karst landform as Guilin, with the same cone-shaped mountains. Although it does not have the twists and turns of the Li River, it is calmer than the Li River because it has not been over-developed. Moreover, the density of the peaks here is higher, one next to the other. , there is a feeling of crossing thousands of mountains. I don’t know if it’s because I know there is a castle standing in Wanfeng Lake, so I unconsciously have a sense of expectation.

Gradually parting through the green mountains and water, the exposed spire of the castle first comes into view. The lonely castle hidden among the peaks is located on a small island in the middle of the lake. The rugged mountains carry A European-style castle. I can't help but admire the designer who chose the location of the castle building here. Whether it is the environment or atmosphere of Wanfeng Lake, it makes this castle feel better. The steeple-shaped roof and red bricks are particularly prominent in the turquoise Wanfeng Lake. At first glance, it looks a bit like the shape of Swan Castle, but the difference is that this is a red retro castle. The European-style castle surrounded by water, with roofs of varying heights, blends in with the island, existing alone among the green peaks. But in fact, you can’t get close to the castle building on the Wanfeng Lake sightseeing boat, you can only watch it from a distance, so after docking, we specially drove along the road to Jilongbao Resort.

The name Lonely Castle is indeed very appropriate. There is only a stone bridge connecting the castle, and it is surrounded by towering stone walls. Walking into the castle step by step from the long stone bridge, you really feel like a princess on the run. Return to her castle. Before I came here, I heard that this was an unfinished project, but in fact, the interior of the castle has been renovated. In addition to taking photos and checking in, you can also sit on the rooftop and enjoy the sunshine and coffee. The interior of the castle is just as I imagined, with European-style luxurious decoration, a retro long-table restaurant, and a quiet book-walled office area. Every scene seems to remind me that I am inside the castle. It is said that when the castle lights up at night, the scenery will be more charming. In the middle of the quiet and peaceful lake, beam after beam of light warms this lonely castle.

I think it doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen the Mont Saint-Michel Castle in France or the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, but you definitely don’t want to see this “Chinese version of the Swan” built between mountains and rivers in Guizhou, my country. castle".
