Question: Wanfenglin over Yangshuo/Guilin?

Answer: Wanfenglin, located near Xingyi in Guizhou province, is indeed a stunning karst region and can be seen as a quieter alternative to the more famous Guangxi karst areas around Guilin and Yangshuo. While it offers a similar dramatic karst landscape, it does lack the large, scenic rivers like the Li River, so the experience is more focused on hills, peaks, and walking trails rather than river cruises.
