Once considered the pinnacle of "unimaginable extravagance,"
who knew the private mansion recently trending with over 100K likes online
would truly redefine Qilv's understanding of luxury.
Tales of all kinds circulate in the world,
and Guizhou's No. 1 mansion is none other than—
,
。
the "unbelievable" private estate costing 2.7 billion yuan,
Speaking of this private mansion,
which is 10 times larger than the real "White House,"
covering over 6,000 acres and displacing 20,000 households,
it's hailed as "China's No. 1 real estate project" and "Asia's largest residential complex."

"China's No. 1 square dancing" went viral,
once setting a record of 100K people dancing simultaneously.
Crowds, diverse dance styles, and high difficulty—
witnessing it live is like an open-air "rave scene."
In stark contrast to the liveliness:
a Baroque-style white palace stands against the mountain,
its castle-like architecture classical, ornate, and magnificent.
Just the exterior alone leaves one in awe,
and when the lights turn on at 7 PM,
It has a very European castle-like atmosphere,
yet it still attracts many people to come and check in.
Anyone who has lived in Guiyang,
will have uniformly in their phones
But the entire palace is not open to the public,
and you can always see tight security.
Some netizens say: This is a private residence;
Others say, because the owner is too high-profile,
the surface cost of this palace is 2.7 billion,
but its true value has already exceeded 10 billion.
It is said that its first and second floors have been rented out,
from photos leaked by some internal staff,
carved from whole pieces of white marble,
making people feel its majesty and luxury from afar.
The internal elevators are all wrapped in rosewood,
the lighting fixtures are all genuine crystal chandeliers,
the floors are paved with marble tiles,
even the wall lamps and door knockers are exquisitely crafted.
Unconventional and stunningly unique!

If Guizhou's "White House" is famous for its luxury,
then its other buildings are "reaching for the sky and digging into the earth."

A temple built atop a 2,493-meter mountain peak,
connected only by a narrow bridge,
A library perched on a 165-meter-high cliff,
with floor-to-ceiling glass windows on all three floors,
There’s also a Chinese version of "Neuschwanstein Castle":
surrounded by water and fused with an isolated island.
It’s the viral "Skewered Building" complex, Longxiyuan.

You really can’t blame Guizhou for its bold constructions,
As the only province in China without any plains,
about 73% of Guizhou’s land is karst terrain.
Hence these wildly imaginative structures.

Soaring over treacherous terrain and winding mountain roads,
A magnificent landscape of mountains connected by bridges.
Every time I enter Guizhou, I can't help but hum
"The Wumeng Mountains stretch beyond the horizon..."
11 ramps, 8 entrances and exits,
with a maximum vertical drop of 55 meters (equivalent to an 18-story building)...
Take one wrong turn, and it's a day trip around Guiyang.
Even map navigation is intimidated,
and veteran drivers from Chongqing's bridge city
Here, you'll find the world's highest bridge:
Spanning 1,341.4 meters in length and standing 565 meters tall,
equivalent to over 200 stories high,
it’s a pure adrenaline rush,
and other equally thrilling bridges include:
the Yachi River Bridge, the Qingshui River Bridge,
the Liuguang River Bridge, the Baling River Bridge...
Of the world's top 100 highest bridges, Guizhou boasts over 40.
To reduce steepness and danger,
winding "zigzag" mountain roads with countless turns were built.
Snaking through the 1,000-meter-high Liangfengya Mountain,
it’s not just thrilling—it’s downright insane!
The famous Qinglong 24-Turn Road,
stretches approximately 350 meters in a straight line from the foot to the top of the mountain,
built on a slope with an inclination of about 60 degrees,
winding in an "S" shape along the mountain terrain until it reaches the pass.
Even professional racers break into a cold sweat at the sight of it.
The most prestigious driver's license in China is from Guizhou,
as only the skilled dare to drive here.
Many people's impression of Guizhou in the past
remained stuck in "no flat land spans three feet, no person owns three taels of silver."
But in fact, today's Guizhou has already transformed like a butterfly,

From here emerged brands like Moutai, Lao Gan Ma, and Xijiu...
In the latest "2023 Hurun Global Rich List,"
four "global-level" billionaires hail from Guizhou.
Do you think Guizhou is a remote area with poor transportation?
It is the only province in western China where every county is connected by highways.
Chongqing-Guiyang Railway, Chengdu-Guiyang High-Speed Railway, Guiyang-Nanning High-Speed Railway...
have connected Guizhou with the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta,
Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and Sichuan-Chongqing-Yunnan area through rapid transit corridors.
