Rising about 1,200 meters to 1,800 m above sea level, the area's low ultraviolet rays and high forest coverage rate makes it a natural oxygen bar. To date, it has won over 20 honors, including the designation of national 5A level tourist attraction and natural reserve of China.

Known as the kingdom of azaleas, the largest natural garden on Earth, and the ancient region of the Yi ethnic group, Baili Azalea aims to promote the beautiful scenery of Guizhou to the world and boost global filmmaking.
