Golden Sea Snow Mountain Scenic Area

The Chinese have a profound grasp of rhetoric, as evidenced by the saying “suddenly a spring breeze comes, and a thousand pear trees bloom,” which poetically likens snowflakes to pear blossoms. In the Jinhai Snow Mountain Scenic Area, nestled within Yinzhai Village, Panjiang Town, Guiding County, Guizhou Province, this metaphor is brought to life. Here, pear blossoms symbolize snowflakes—referred to as ‘snow mountains’—areas covered in a vast expanse of pear blossoms, while ‘golden sea’ denotes the undulating waves of rapeseed flowers.

As March’s spring breeze sweeps across the landscape, both the rapeseed flowers and pear blossoms seem to burst into smiles overnight. The interplay of golden yellow and snowy white creates the idyllic scene known as ‘Golden Sea Snow Mountain.’ With winter’s dormancy behind them, people don their vibrant spring attire to indulge in the seasonal splendor of Guiding’s Golden Sea Snow Mountain.

Among the blossoming flora, the rapeseed flowers stand out in their brilliance. Similarly, the young ladies adorned in ethnic minority attire capture the eye as they stroll through the floral sea. The village hosting the scenic area is a well-preserved ethnic cultural haven, including natural villages such as Yinzhai, Luohai, Zhulinbao, and Maidong. Visitors can immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of ethnic minority culture here.

The scenic area has also thoughtfully designed popular and trendy check-in spots that appeal to both children and adults. These spots feature endearing cartoon characters from animations and chic decorations, making them beloved by all who visit.Nestled in the embrace of nature, these spots retain a touch of human charm, perfectly balancing the two. Under the azure sky, one can see the undulating mountains, the characteristic blue-tiled houses and fire walls of the Buyi ethnic villages, and the golden rapeseed fields that resemble a golden carpet, all teeming with the vitality of spring.

The beauty of the rapeseed flowers is a splendid simplicity. They bloom naturally and casually on ridges and in the wild, radiating a dazzling golden light with an air of grandeur.

Riding in a small flower car along the sea of flowers, one can gaze upon the boundless golden rapeseed fields, creating a dazzling pastoral oil painting that evokes the essence of spring.

When hungry or tired, one might visit the romantic food trucks amidst the sea of flowers to purchase local specialty foods and products, such as the sweet and sour dried pear fruits and the rich and sweet sweet rice cakes, both worth a taste.

Children can frolic freely in the great outdoors, set up tents for a long-awaited camping experience under the warm sun, ride the Ferris wheel to take in the beautiful spring scenery, and enjoy various activities such as glass walkways, off-road karting, and water sports, each offering a unique and silent joy.

From a bird’s-eye view, the mountains, flower sea, forests, and ribbon-like green waters form a rich and colorful landscape oil painting, with the vitality of nature and the joy of people blending into it.

The beautiful spring of 2024 has arrived, and the Golden Sea Snow Mountain Scenic Area in Guiding, Guizhou, has its most radiant smile.Are you ready?
