As Xingyi, the capital of Southwest Guizhou, what are the highlights? The following small series will introduce it.

Castel's Unique Landform: Cone Rape Flower Field

At the foot of Wan Fenglin, there used to be three ancient Buyi villages, namely, the upper part is gray, the middle part is gray and the lower part is gray. Naihui is a Buyi language, which means "beautiful countryside". People in this village have lived on agricultural production for generations. In the mountain basin where they cultivated, it is said that there is an underground river under the basin, because there is a river that will pass through it. Perennial water erosion has formed a cultivated land similar to the "Eight Diagrams" pattern in the center of the basin, and rape flowers are planted in the basin with the "Eight Diagrams" pattern.

There are certain topographical features in places where rape flowers bloom all over the country, including plains and terraces, but only rape flowers in Wan Fenglin have the most visual effect. Conical peaks surround the basin where rape flowers are planted, and the Bagua field has beautiful curves. When the sun shines, the afterglow of dawn or sunset will squeeze into the rape field from the gap in the peak forest. The light beam is like a projector on the stage, dressing up the whole rape field as a dressing stage, and the most impactful landscape painting will be displayed in front of people.

The blue sky on the plateau, the green hills among the peaks and forests, and the golden rape flowers are all natural colors, and perhaps no painting can vividly and stereoscopically express them. However, Wan Fenglin can give you a picture like this.

Pastoral Beauty at the Right Time: Wan Fenglin and Rape Flowers

Because of the climate, southwest Guizhou is the earliest place where rape blossoms bloom in China. The flowering period of rape flowers is generally before the Lunar New Year and after the Spring Festival, which is a whole month earlier than that of rape flowers in Wuyuan, Jiangxi. Even Xingyi's neighbor Yunnan takes about half a month in the morning. In other words, when you go to Xingyi to enjoy flowers in March, you can see golden everywhere.

Rape flowers in Xingyi are mainly planted in Wan Fenglin Scenic Area, which is less than 5 kilometers away from the urban area. From 20 15, local farmers began to plant rape flowers on the flat land between mountain peaks and forests. Now it covers an area of about 6000 mu, named after rape flower sea.

Great ethnic integration: Han, Buyi and Miao

Xingyi is a city with a population of less than1000000, but there are people from 26 ethnic groups including Han, Buyi and Miao. Xingyi dialect belongs to Sichuan-Guizhou dialect, because Xingyi is located at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi provinces. Due to historical and geographical distribution, Xingyi dialect not only inherits Guizhou dialect, but also influences and permeates Yunnan dialect. But people who have just arrived in Xingyi often think that Xingyi people speak Sichuan dialect.

I remember when I first went to Xingyi last year, I heard two people with Sichuan accents chatting behind me, but when I looked back, they were wearing national costumes. I couldn't tell their identities at that time. Later, I chatted with Xingyi locals, only to know that Xingyi people speak a bit like Sichuan dialect, but it is not the Sichuan dialect of Zhenzong, but a language that combines Xingyi local dialect. If you talk to Xingyi people, they can speak slowly and understand a little. If you speak fast, it's basically like listening to a "foreign language".
