Libo, a place renowned worldwide for its landscapes and ethnic culture, is home to a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site and is hailed as the "Green Gem on Earth's Belt."

　　Here, nature remains pristine and the scenery is breathtaking. Whether it’s the delicate beauty of Xiaoqikong, the mysterious grandeur of Daqikong, the graceful charm of Zhangjiang River, or the rugged magnificence of Shuichun River, each is enough to amaze anyone who catches even a glimpse. Multiple ethnic minorities, including the Buyi, Yao, Shui, and Miao peoples, live in harmony on this lush land, collectively crafting Libo’s splendid ethnic culture. It is this masterpiece of nature and rich ethnic heritage that together have polished this green gem—Libo.

　　Libo boasts the world’s largest and best-preserved karst primeval forest, where the landscape is unique and the scenery is beautiful. The forest is filled with towering ancient trees and dense vines, along with waterfalls, mountain streams, underground rivers, and caves crisscrossing everywhere. In the Mandarin Duck Lake of Xiaoqikong lies a geological wonder—the "Water Maze." The tranquil lake water, lush overwater forests, and intertwined waterways create a maze-like setting where trees grow stubbornly from rocks above the water and extend their roots deep into the riverbed. When you paddle through this secret aquatic forest, sunlight filters through the dappled leaves and reflects brilliantly off the clear lake bottom, giving off the feeling of exploring a tropical jungle. That’s why this water maze is also praised as the "Amazon of the East."

　　Shuichun River is located in the upper reaches of Zhangjiang River and is named after the Buyi village of Shuichun. It is like a traditional Chinese painting unfolding along the Zhangjiang. The riverbanks are lined with overlapping peaks and steep cliffs. Influenced by massive boulders that have fallen from both sides, the river sheds its serene and elegant demeanor, instead surging like a runaway horse with thunderous roars, forming the spectacular and perilous landscape of "Twenty-Nine Waves and Nine Layers of Rapids," making it a holy site for rafting adventures.

　　The lower section of Zhangjiang River is the complete opposite of the rushing Shuichun River. Its surface is mirror-like, and the banks are lined with swaying bamboo. Drifting along the river on a bamboo raft not only allows you to take in the delicate scenery of Zhangjiang but also lets you experience the primitive life of the local people at Longwang Cave, the Buyi culture of Baiyan Village, savor distinctive Buyi cuisine, and immerse yourself in farming culture, fully appreciating the unique charm of Libo.

　　Libo is a settlement of many ethnic minorities, who make up 92% of the total population. The Buyi, Shui, Miao, and Yao peoples have lived here for generations, forming unique customs and traditions. The Shui people still continue the use of "Shui script," a pictographic writing system that is 800 years older than oracle bone script. The Shui’s traditional craft of horsehair embroidery is known as the "living fossil of embroidery."

　　"Water Rhyme Zhangjiang" is the best representation of Libo’s ethnic minority culture. This large-scale live-action performance, created by 118 ethnic artists and taking three years and nine months to produce, blends the stunning scenery of Zhangjiang River with the mysterious and rustic charm of Libo, vividly telling its story to audiences.
