Come on meitu

write in front

2020 is an extraordinary year. Thanks to the strength of the motherland, we can travel safely in the motherland; for those of us who love to travel, it is a wonderful thing to go out and see. This time, we chose the colorful Guizhou with green mountains and green waters. Guizhou is one of the few provinces in China with expressways connected to counties and counties, so self-driving is very convenient.

As an old habit, I still read various strategies, travel notes, itineraries, etc. early, and set a self-driving tour around the south of Guizhou with Guiyang as the center point. Starting from Guiyang, Qingyan Ancient Town, Bijie Zhijin Cave, Zhenning Huangguoshu, Xingyi Maling River Canyon, Xingyi Wanfeng Forest, Libo Xiaoqikong, Libo Maolan, Leishan Langde Shangzhai, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, Congjiang Jiabang Terraced Fields, Liping Zhaoxing Dong Village, Zhenyuan Ancient City, and finally return To Guiyang, the total self-driving mileage is about 2,500 kilometers. Both the total mileage and the single-day mileage are new heights for personal self-driving travel.

The members of our tourism team are as follows:

Qi Ma: In charge of beauty, full-time photographer, beauty spotter, luggage sorter;

Qi Ge: Responsible for joy, trainee photographer, little porter, happy water gunner;

Me: full-time driver, part-time photographer, big porter, itinerary planner.

travel preparation

1. Item preparation

Guizhou is mountainous, and overall the temperature will be lower than Xiamen. For example, Shuangshuang Guiyang has an average temperature of 20 degrees, which is very comfortable. However, there is also Zhenyuan, which is very hot. The temperature can reach about 35 degrees during the day, and there are nighttime additions. The terraced fields can be as low as 10 degrees. According to the itinerary, summer clothes are mainly used, with a thin coat and a little spring trousers (to avoid mosquito bites in mountainous areas).

The ultraviolet rays in Guizhou are also quite strong in summer, so you must take good care of sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen clothing, sunglasses, sun hats, etc. There is a saying in Guizhou that there will be no sunshine in three days. There will be sudden rain, so umbrellas, raincoats, etc. need to be prepared in case of emergency. The itinerary arranged this time is basically related to water, so we basically use sandals or hole shoes throughout the whole process, which can not be affected by the water. Other items include cold medicine, stomach medicine, positive energy water, band-aids, mosquito repellent, power bank, camera, electronic ear thermometer, electric razor, simple power strip, mobile phone car holder, car charger, etc.; it is recommended You can bring some bags to put in and change out unwashed clothes, rubbish from travel, etc.

2. Diet

Guizhou cuisine is also called Guizhou cuisine. The taste is mainly hot and sour. Among them, the sour soup series are the most popular, such as fish in sour soup, beef in sour soup, etc. The local people eat spicy food. Now, in order to cater to the tastes of various places, various restaurants It will also be adjusted according to the customer's requirements, but it is recommended to try the original taste, which is really better. For example, I ate the famous Guiyang Nankou Changwang noodles, which are not spicy and regular spicy Changwang noodles. It’s a world of difference. Although it’s really spicy, the taste is really delicious. Only spicy can express the essence of Changwang noodles. Regarding the food, the following itinerary will mention the food we encountered this time. The radish and green vegetables have their own favorites, and you need to try them yourself.

3. Accommodation

In fact, self-driving tours are relatively flexible, and you don’t need to book too early. However, we always like to have a plan when we travel. It will be more stable if we confirm it first and then adjust it according to the actual situation. Therefore, as an old user of Ctrip, all of our trips The hotels are all booked on Ctrip.

Shanshe Inn should be the latest and most luxurious in Maolan Scenic Area. It was renovated and started operation this year. The boss Xiao Zhou used to run the Maolan Backpacker Inn. We originally booked a Backpacker Inn. When Xiao Zhou came to pick us up, he asked us what we wanted Don't try the upgraded version of Shanshe Inn.

Lianghuaju, the inn is located in Jiache Village of Jiabang Terraced Fields. It is divided into several parts, the single-family wooden building on the top of the mountain, the reception point of Lianghua Space at the foot of the mountain, the restaurant of Lianghua Rice, and the experience store of Lianghua tie-dyeing. The place to check in is Lianghua Space at the foot of the mountain, so you must choose Lianghua Space for navigation, otherwise you have to go down the mountain when you navigate to Lianghuaju; for accommodation with breakfast, you need to go to the Lianghua Rice Restaurant at the foot of the mountain. There are also rice porridge to choose from, and the taste is sufficient. Due to the epidemic situation, there is no teacher in the Lianghua tie-dye experience store, so I can only visit the works.

The accommodation price is about 348 yuan/night, which is considered to be a relatively high-end accommodation in the surrounding area. The bathroom is a niche brand in the UK. The air-conditioning is powerful. The room is all wooden structure, and the moisture-proof effect is relatively poor. If you can book a room, book a room on the third floor. In this way, there will be no impact on the sound of walking upstairs because of the wooden structure.

The single-family wooden building on the top of the mountain is the highest viewing point of the inn in the terraced fields of Jiache Village. It faces the terraced fields of Jiache and overlooks the entire terraced fields. You can get up early in the morning to see the sea of ​​clouds and the sunrise. The scenery is super beautiful, just like a fairyland; It is quiet. There are currently only 6 rooms for rent in the wooden building, so there are not many guests. You can see the starry night sky at night. There was an astronomical telescope in the inn, but unfortunately it is said to be broken. Anyway, I can't figure it out.

The wooden building has a three-story structure. The building is the public activity area and kitchen. There are many books to read. Due to the epidemic, the wooden building only has aunts to clean it in the morning, and there are no staff at other times. The inn is used by the guests at will. I feel that I am a Same as master. Because it is on the mountain, and the main catering and other shops are at the foot of the mountain, it takes about 20 minutes to go there, especially going up the mountain. It is all uphill and relatively laborious. This is the fly in the ointment. So if I can, I have enough food, I am willing to stay on it forever, haha.

9) Liping Zhaoxing Dong Village—Floral Hotel. Zhaoxing That Year Blossom Boutique Hotel

It takes about 5-10 minutes to take a sightseeing bus from the Zhaoxing Dongzhai ticket office to the Dongzhai scenic spot.

The inn has a cat named "Er Wang", who likes to sleep at the front desk on the first floor. The viewing family room we live in is located on the fourth floor, and the luggage store will help to carry it. The room is very large and feels more than 30 square meters, with two 1.5-meter-large beds, a tatami seating area (it can also be used as a bed), and it is near the window. There is a long bay window, the space is comfortable, and the room rate is 235 yuan/night, which is good value for money.

10) Zhenyuan Ancient City—Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. Ximen Blowing Snow Inn

The inn is very close to Zhusheng Bridge, Shiping Mountain, and Qinglong Cave, and it takes about 5 minutes to walk; the inn is located at the back of the ancient city scenic spot, far away from the noisy dining and entertainment areas, and is very quiet.

Since the roads in Zhenyuan Ancient City can only take buses from morning to 22:00 in the evening, and the roads in the scenic spot are mostly stone roads, it is relatively inconvenient to carry luggage or take the bus. Ximen Chuixue Inn can drive the car to the entrance of the scenic spot through the back mountain. Park in the special parking lot at the entrance of the inn's scenic spot, so you don't have to worry about being fined for illegal parking. You can walk to the inn from the parking lot in about 5 minutes.

The decoration of the inn is simple, full of martial arts style, and the layout of the public space on each floor is unique. The room is spacious and has a small balcony, where you can directly enjoy the scenery of Wuyang River.

The hotel is located in Cuiwei Lane near Jiaxiu Building in Guiyang. It takes 5 minutes to walk to Jiaxiu Building, Cuiwei Pavilion, Jiaxiu Square, etc. There are many shopping malls and restaurants in the surrounding area, which is very convenient.

Our room type is a luxury suite, with an area of ​​nearly 40 square meters, one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom and one balcony. From the small balcony, you can see the Nanming River at night and Jiaxiu Tower. The air conditioner is very powerful, and the living room and bedroom are air-conditioned. It can be controlled separately. The room rate is 184 yuan/night (the actual cost is 335 yuan/night, because the previously booked hotel broke the contract on the day we checked in and we couldn’t check in. Ctrip was very helpful in dealing with the accommodation problem, and the extra price difference was borne by Ctrip. ).

4. Traffic

1) Air ticket

Due to the epidemic situation, it is completely impossible to book this flight according to the previous rules. When I observed the price of the air ticket from Xiamen to Guiyang for more than half a month, compared with the price of the air ticket in the same period in previous years, I saw a similar price at the beginning of July. After booking the air tickets, it turned out that in mid-July, due to the epidemic situation in Xinjiang and the Dalian problem, everyone’s travel concerns increased, and the air ticket price dropped sharply. The round-trip cost for three people was reduced by nearly 1,500 yuan. What Brother Qi said is right, travel, since you have already booked it, don't worry about it, just have fun.

2) Rent a car

With the experience of the last self-driving tour in Qinghai, and due to the mountains in Guizhou, this car rental plan chose an SUV to improve the ability to overcome poor road sections. The subsequent journey proved that our decision was correct.

For this self-driving itinerary, it is planned to start from Guiyang and go around the southern capital of Guizhou, Qiandongnan, Qiannan, and Qianxinan, and return to Guiyang. After a comprehensive study of car rental fees, car return fees, and taxi fees, it is decided that after the plane lands in Guiyang, directly in Rent a car at Guiyang Airport to Qingyan Ancient Town, return the car at Guiyang Airport, and then take a taxi to Guiyang Hotel for accommodation, which can save some costs.

Since I basically booked the itinerary more than two months in advance, I checked the car rental information on various platforms. Later, I found out that eHi, a car rental company in Ctrip, launched a promotional activity for JEEP Freeman (automatic 1.4T), and the price is affordable (other car rental companies are similar. The daily rent of the model is nearly 200 yuan more expensive), and the vehicles are relatively new. At the same time, the order can be canceled on the day of the car rental at the latest, and there is no need to pay the fee in advance. I made a decisive reservation. The 14-day fee plus basic insurance and other expenses (including excluding deductible ) a total of 2879 yuan, and later when picking up the car to avoid damage to glass and tires on mountain roads and village roads, an additional 25 yuan/day upgrade service guarantee was added, so the total rental fee was 3229 yuan. About 100 yuan less.

5. Attraction Tickets

Due to the epidemic in 2020, Guizhou has launched a preferential policy of free admission to all attractions in Guizhou before July 31, 2020. Therefore, before July 31, you only need to pay the transportation fee for the sightseeing bus connecting the scenic spot and the necessary insurance fees, etc., saving money. A lot of fees; after August 1st, 50% discount on tickets throughout Guizhou. In addition to Zhaoxing Dongzhai (40 yuan/person) and Zhenyuan Shiping Mountain (7 yuan/person discounted price), we need to buy tickets in our itinerary. Others enjoy the free ticket policy.

Due to the epidemic, each scenic spot has a certain flow limit. Although tickets are free, online reservations are required in advance, and admission is based on the date and time of the appointment. Therefore, in order to avoid the itinerary being affected by not being able to enter the scenic spot as scheduled due to no advance reservation , we all made reservations for the main scenic spots more than two weeks in advance.

6. Others

Due to self-driving and may enter the mountain area without signal, it is recommended to download the offline map of the relevant area for emergencies.

Now our mobile payment is very popular, so you don’t need to carry too much cash. For this trip, we basically use mobile phones. Several cash payments were encountered in transactions with local farmers, and the amount was not large.

Colorful Guizhou opens

Day 1 (2020.7.22, Wednesday), Guizhou flavor, starting with braised pork feet

I picked an early flight and arrived at the airport early. It was supposed to take off at 7:05, and it should be very early to arrive in Guiyang. After boarding the plane, I waited in the plane for an hour and finally took off, which was later than the planned landing time. It took about 40 minutes. Fortunately, there was enough time reserved to pick up the car, so that it would not affect the car rental order.

eHi Car Rental Guiyang Airport Store is located in the long-term parking area on the first floor of the No. 1 parking lot of the airport. Take the elevator on the right hand side of the domestic arrival gate 11 of the T2 terminal to the first floor. There are detailed maps and guidelines), and it takes about 8 minutes to arrive. The procedures for picking up the car are very simple, and they are all online operations. Since the purchase does not count for deductible, so the main concern is whether there are any major scratches or bruises, and the lights , brakes, and wiper problems, just in case, we still took a video of the whole car, including the driving license, so that if there is any violation in the later stage, it is convenient for verification.

Pick up our Guizhou partner - JEEP Freeman at around 11:00, and start off at the first stop, Qingyan Ancient Town, a 5A scenic spot in Guiyang City. It takes about 1 hour to drive there. You need to take the expressway, and the expressway fee is 11 yuan. Qingyan Ancient Town is one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou (Qingyan, Zhenyuan, Bing'an, Longli). It has a history of more than 600 years. In the ancient town, Taoism, Buddhism, God, Christ and other religions coexist, and various cultures blend together. The most famous place here should be the former residence of Zhao Yijiong Zhuangyuan - Zhuangyuan Mansion, which has a history of more than 100 years. It is said that Zhao Yijiong likes to eat the braised pig's trotters here, and later became the champion in high school, so the pig's trotters in the ancient town have the champion's trotters There are a lot of braised pig's knuckle shops in the whole ancient town, and I feel that Qingyan Ancient Town is about to become an ancient town of braised pig's knuckles, haha.

We arrived near the parking lot at the north gate of Qingyan Ancient Town at about 12 o'clock. The road near the ancient town was blocked. We contacted the owner of the inn. The owner came to lead the way. The security guard opened the gate and let us pass to Guiyang Yixin Bieyuan Inn near the west gate, opposite to the inn. It has its own exclusive parking area, check-in is fast, and no deposit is required. After putting away our luggage, we were hungry and entered Qingyan Ancient Town from the nearest west gate to look for food. We could just scan the QR code on the spot to make an appointment, and enter with the reservation code. Later, we found that there was no one checking the tickets at the gates at night.

Affected by the epidemic, there are not many tourists in the ancient town, and the streets are relatively empty. We first discovered the very famous Xiejia century-old cake in the ancient town near Ximen. It is an intangible cultural heritage of Guiyang and has no branches. Currently The owner is the fourth generation descendant. The shop is very small. They only sell three kinds of things, rice cake porridge, rice tofu, and ice powder. I ordered one each, and the total was 28 yuan. Overall, it was not bad, not too much. stunning.

For lunch, we walked into Fulai Tavern. The tavern is located on the second floor. You can watch the streets of the ancient town by the window. There is a stage in the tavern. There should be performances in the evening. We ordered a meal for two (including cake porridge, rice tofu, rose ice powder, potatoes rice cake, sweet rice wine, braised pig’s knuckles), plus special bacon and fried shepherd’s rice, the total is 91 yuan, which tastes good and is economical.

In the afternoon, we took a slow tour in the ancient town, walked through the streets and alleys, walked around the ancient town for half a circle, looked east and patted the west. The first day was exhausted, and we were a little tired. Around 17:00, we willfully returned to the inn to sleep and sleep. Charge. After this charging, the sun is almost setting after waking up, but after fully charging, the whole person is completely different, and I go out to visit the ancient town at night; the ancient town at night is very cool, it is only in the early 20s, compared to Xiamen's 35 degrees High temperature, not to mention how comfortable it is.

The ancient town at night is more lively than during the day, so I guess they all come out to enjoy the cool air; for dinner, we had braised pig’s trotters, sliced ​​green bamboo shoots, tofu balls, and spicy chicken corners for a total of 143 yuan. The restaurant has a good environment. Antique, with running water garden view, personal favorite chicken spicy corner, super delicious.

The nightlife in Qingyan Ancient Town is quite different from the ancient towns I have been to before. I don’t know if it is because of the epidemic. The shops gradually closed after 21 o’clock in the evening. There is nothing on the street. The whole ancient town quickly quieted down at night.

On the second day (2020.7.23, Thursday), Zhijin returned without looking at the cave, and recalled the journey to the west in front of Doupotang

The weather is fine today. Breakfast is served at a noodle shop near the inn. It is simple and warm, and the price is not expensive. After packing up our luggage and checking out, the boss is not at home, so we can just put the room card at the front desk. There is no room inspection. This is mutual trust Bar. At around 9 o'clock, drive to Zhijin Cave, the next stop. It takes about 2 hours, the journey is about 140 kilometers, and the high-speed fee is 84 yuan. We arrived at the parking lot of Zhijin Cave around 11 o'clock. We had prepared some dry food in advance, so we didn't plan to find a restaurant for dinner. We went directly to Zhijin Cave. It took about 10 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the ticket gate of Zhijin Cave.

Tickets for Zhijin Cave are free before July 31, and you need to make an appointment in advance on various online platforms or the One Yard Tour Guizhou Mini Program. The shuttle bus from the exit to the entrance of Zhijin Cave costs 30 yuan per person, and the shuttle bus is free for children under 1.2 meters. The Zhijin Cave is very large, and it takes a lot of energy to go up and down in the cave. It takes about 10 minutes to drive from the exit to the entrance, and the driveway is narrow, and there is no dedicated sidewalk. It takes a long time, and secondly, it is unsafe and unnecessary. It is recommended to buy a shuttle bus ticket to save worry and effort.

Zhijin Cave, formerly known as Daji Cave, is located in the west of the Guizhou Plateau, in Zhijin County, Bijie City, Guizhou Province. It covers an area of ​​170 km2 and has an altitude of 900-1670m. The reputation of "the king of caves" has the evaluation of "you don't look at the mountains when you return from Huangshan, and you don't look at the caves when you return from Zhijin". Zhijin Cave is a world-class geological park recognized by UNESCO. The cave is very cool, and the temperature is more than 10 degrees all year round. You must wear a coat to avoid catching cold. At the same time, because of its large scale and good ventilation, there are not many caves. Stuffy phenomenon, very comfortable when visiting. There are two free photo spots in the cave. The staff will wash two photos outside the cave, one for 2 inches and one for 7 inches, 2 inches for free, and 7 inches for 20 yuan (voluntary principle, required payment only, not mandatory). The tour route of Zhijin Cave does not go back. According to the speed of our slow tour, it took about 2 hours to complete. There are many places for rest. It will not be too hard to visit. Generally speaking, Zhijin Cave is The largest karst cave we have seen, and the relatively primitive karst cave with less lighting is well worth a visit.

After more than 2 hours, I came out of the cave exit and saw the long-lost sunshine. It seemed like a world away. From the cave exit to the ferry bus stop, it took about 7 minutes to walk; Receive photos upon request.

Go back to the Zhijindong parking lot, buy some snacks at a nearby restaurant, return to the car to replenish some energy, pay 10 yuan for parking, and drive to Huangguoshu. It takes about 1.5 hours, the journey is about 125 kilometers, and the highway fee is 67 Yuan. Arrived at the parking lot next to Doupotang Scenic Area at about 16:00. The parking lot charges 10 yuan a time. It is charged by an older lady. There is no invoice, and I don’t know if it is the administrator. For the safety of the car when we go out, we still handed in the map peace of mind.

Huangguoshu Scenic Spot is located in Zhenning Buyi and Miao Autonomous County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province. The scenic spot includes three parts: Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot, Tianxing Bridge Scenic Spot, and Doupotang Scenic Spot. Tickets include three scenic spots. Tickets are free before July 31, and you need to book in advance at each line Make an appointment on the platform or through the mini-program of One Code Tour Guizhou, and enter the park according to the reserved time. When entering the park for the first time, you need to swipe your ID card (children without an ID card enter the park with an adult), and perform face recognition registration. After successfully entering the park, within two days You can directly enter the three scenic spots by swiping your face (the ticket states that you can only enter one scenic spot once, but we entered the Great Falls twice later, and I don’t know why). Since the three scenic spots are separated by a certain distance, there are sightseeing buses in the scenic spot to connect the scenic spots. The ticket is 60 yuan per person (including 10 yuan scenic spot insurance), and children under 1.4 meters can ride for free. The sightseeing cars are all air-conditioned buses. Still very comfortable.

Among the Huangguoshu scenic spots, the Doupotang scenic spot is relatively small, and the time required for the tour is relatively short, generally more than an hour, so we arrive in the afternoon and arrange to visit the Doupotang first, Huangguoshu Waterfall and Tianxing Bridge on the next day, so that Time can be used efficiently. The Doupotang Scenic Spot is mainly to watch the Doupotang Waterfall, which is located 1 km upstream of the Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou Province. The top of the waterfall is 105 meters wide and 21 meters high. It is the widest waterfall among the Huangguoshu Waterfalls; The filming location of the ending song of "Journey to the West" has a large amount of water in summer, which is very spectacular. Walk for 3 minutes from the place where we parked and enter the entrance of Doupotang Scenic Area. You can choose to take the walking path to Doupotang, or you can take a sightseeing car. The sightseeing car takes less than 10 minutes. I haven’t tried walking. I don’t know how the scenery along the way is, but the sun is very bright. In the sun, you need to pay attention to sun protection.

After visiting the Doupotang Scenic Area, I went back to the parking lot and drove to the nearby Buyi Badawan main store for dinner. According to the recommendation of the netizens on the platform, I chose Buyi Braised Chicken, Buyi Spring Rolls, Eggplant and Beans, and Seaweed Egg Drop Soup. The taste was delicious. Really good, worth recommending, a total cost of 149 yuan.

After dinner, I bought some snacks and fruits nearby, and drove about 10 kilometers to Huangguoshu Hotel to rest. The hotel is located in the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area. After passing the gate of the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area, you must report to the hotel in advance for your license plate before you can enter. The hotel’s epidemic prevention registration It is very strict. Starting from the gate post of the scenic spot, three registrations have been carried out.

Day 3 (2020.7.24, Friday), Huangguoshu Waterfalls, amazing

When I got up in the morning, the sky was a little cloudy, and I hope the sun will come out later, so that the waterfall can be seen better, and there is a chance to see the rainbow. Walk about 300 meters to reach the hotel's restaurant, Wisteria Garden. The room type includes double breakfast, and children are charged an additional 15 yuan/person. The morning is self-service. Generally speaking, there are quite a variety of dishes, and there is no problem with eating full.

After breakfast, we are going to head to Huangguoshu Waterfall to see if we can avoid the group tour group. Later, we found out that everyone is quite early, but the sun has not spread out too early, and the effect of watching the waterfall is mediocre. In the end, although we entered early , or wait until almost noon to go out of the Great Falls scenic spot. Generally speaking, there will be fewer tourists in the morning than in the afternoon.

If you stayed at Huangguoshu Hotel last night and left Huangguoshu Hotel today, since it is in the Great Waterfall Scenic Area, the hotel has a VIP exclusive passage to enter, you can have the following two itinerary arrangements (this arrangement is not included for those who stay at Huangguoshu Hotel for two consecutive days):

The first is to check out in the morning, store your luggage at the front desk or put it in the car (such as self-driving), first visit the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot, then take the sightseeing bus to Tianxing Bridge, and then take the sightseeing bus from Tianxing Bridge to the Great Falls At the scenic spot, return to the hotel through the VIP channel, pick up the luggage and leave;

The second is not to check out, first go to the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area in the morning, and return to the hotel before 12:00 noon. You can change the clothes that were wet by the waterfall, freshen up, and then check out, and then according to your own itinerary arrange.

We use the first method. We go back after playing outside. Although the clothes will get wet, but in summer, wearing clothes with good air permeability will dry quickly after a while in the sun.

Huangguoshu Waterfall is the largest waterfall in China and Asia. The height of the waterfall is 77.8 meters, of which the height of the main waterfall is 67 meters; the width of the waterfall is 101 meters, of which the top of the main waterfall is 83.3 meters wide. It is a major business card of Guizhou. Due to the great water potential of the Great Falls, it will splash a lot of water mist. Many people sell raincoats for tourists to watch and waterproof. The situation is not like that of rainwater.

In the scenic area, a number of viewing platforms with different angles and heights are set up for viewing the Great Falls, so that tourists can enjoy them from different angles. First of all, enjoy the Great Falls. In my impression, there are not many people on the third viewing platform. Looking at the Great Falls from a height, the Shuilian Cave closest to the Great Falls, unfortunately, has not been developed due to the epidemic. Overlooking the Great Falls, the angle is excellent, very beautiful, and there are very few key people.

From the entrance of the Great Waterfall Scenic Spot to the waterfall viewing area, you can walk down or take the escalator down in the scenic spot. I personally suggest that you can walk down and take the escalator up. Experience both. The escalator fee is 30 yuan per person for one way for adults, and 50 yuan for a round trip People, divided into two sections, about 5 minutes from bottom to top, you can't see the waterfall from the escalator.

Coming out of the Great Waterfall Scenic Area, you still need to pass through a commercial area and walk for about 10 minutes to reach the sightseeing bus ride point, which is about 12:00 noon; take the sightseeing bus to the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area, and the impression is about 20-30 minute.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Spot is located 7 kilometers downstream of Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is a natural bonsai scenic spot formed by the transformation of stone forests on the water. In the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area, the first half of the front of Gaolaozhuang is tasteless, nothing interesting, relatively boring, the bridge behind the bridge, Tianxing Cave, Maoshuitan, Maoshuitan Waterfall, Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall, Xingxia The waterfall is the essence. Unfortunately, due to the epidemic, the Tianxing Cave is not open, and due to the high water level, the water stone forest is temporarily closed to the public. Yesterday, the water level was so high that the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall was not open. Fortunately, the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall is open today. , This is the attraction we most want to see when we come to Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area.

Tianxingqiao Scenic Area is the latest of the three major scenic spots in Huangguoshu. There are many rest areas inside. We took dry food at noon and settled lunch at the rest point. There are shops in Gaolaozhuang, where you can buy meals, and Gaolaozhuang is also there. The end point of most tourists traveling with a group is here for the first half of the journey. If you don’t go to the second half of the journey, you can leave here. Personally, I strongly suggest that since you have come, you must go to the second half of the journey, otherwise you will regret it. After all The second half is the essence. At this stage, after arriving at the Xingxia Waterfall, it is the end point. You can choose to take the cableway back to the exit, or walk back. The cableway is 10 yuan per person for adults, and free for children under 1.4 meters. The cable car takes two people at a time, about 5-10 minutes, if you walk About 20 minutes of steps, the cableway may need to line up, so the time required may be similar to walking, that is, it can be relaxed; however, whether it is walking or cableway, when you reach the end of the cableway, you still need to walk for another 10 minutes to reach the sightseeing car ride point.

Come to a video to experience

It was more than 15:00 when we came out of the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. We took a sightseeing bus back to the Great Waterfall Scenic Area and went back to the Huangguoshu Hotel. After checking the time, it was only around 16:00. My brother and mother said that they wanted to go to the Catholic Church in the scenic area and took a look. It takes more than 20 minutes to walk, so it should be okay; this is a climbing road, we walked for a short distance, Qi Ge may have walked for a day, and I don’t want to move, and finally I will accompany Qi Ge to rest on the rest chair on the road, Qi’s mother Continue to the Cathedral. After a while, I received a call from Qi’s mother saying that not far ahead, you can see a very beautiful waterfall, let’s hurry up, our father and I went up; wow, it’s really beautiful, and the angle is absolutely amazing. Good, overlooking the waterfall, and a beautiful rainbow appeared at the waterfall at this time, this is the unexpected beauty. After Qi’s mother excitedly took pictures for a while, she continued to walk towards the Catholic Church alone. According to Qi’s mother, the scenery behind is also good, because the Catholic Church has not been developed because of the epidemic, but the scenery near the Catholic Church is also good. There are basically no people. The security guard also helped to guide the place to take pictures, and kept reminding Qi's mother to pay attention to the safety of her feet.

Overlooking Huangguoshu Waterfall

Depart from Huangguoshu Hotel at about 18:00, and drive for about 20 minutes to the farm restaurant (Huangguoshu Main Store) near Huangguoshu Bus Station for dinner. I ordered fish in sour soup, fried fungus, scrambled eggs with dog ground sprouts, and farm secret beef. A total of 223 yuan, the fish in sour soup is Jiangtuanyu, without any spines, very delicious, the store's service attitude is very good, making people feel at home, a meal is very satisfying, it is great.

After dinner, buy some dry food, snacks and water from a nearby supermarket, and drive 10 minutes to today's transit hotel - Huangguoshu Yuanshun Hotel. This day is full of harvest, rest and rest, and explore new beauty tomorrow.

Day 4 (2020.7.25, Saturday), looking for wonders in the canyon, riding Nahuime

Go to Xingyi today, start from the hotel at around 9:00, drive for about 2.5 hours, about 180 kilometers, and the high-speed fee is 156 yuan, and arrive at the Maling River Canyon in Xingyi. Maling River Canyon is located in the northeast of Xingyi City, the capital of Qianxinan Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. It is a part of Xingyi National Geological Park. There are many waterfalls in the canyon, connected by karst caves, and the cliffs on both sides face each other. , Beautiful and unique, it has the reputation of "the most beautiful scar on the earth". In addition to the powerful scenic spots, there is also Maling River rafting, which is known as "the first drift in China". It is thrilling and exciting, and friends who like thrills can try it.

According to the policy of the scenic spot, admission tickets are free until December 31, 2020, and you need to make an appointment on the online platform. There is a small parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot. It is easy to park full of cars and the fee is not high. We parked for about 3 hours and charged 5 yuan.

Due to the epidemic and other reasons, we couldn't go to the east bank when we went. We went back and forth on the west bank road. The Shuanghong Bridge leading to the east bank and the Jiangxin ruins were closed. What I can see on the west bank, I think the most exciting thing is the innermost waterfall group. , Pearl Waterfall, Wanma Galloping Waterfall, etc. The canyon tour road is built along the cliff beside the Maling River. It is relatively narrow, with many steps up and down, and some roads are slippery and easy to slip. It is recommended to wear non-slip sports shoes, otherwise it will look like I am wearing a hole. The shoe, because I was anxious to take care of Brother Qi, accidentally slipped and hurt my waist, and the hand of Qi’s mother who pulled me up was also scratched. Lessons learned, simply a small injury will not affect the rest of the journey, otherwise you have to sing It's cool.

For lunch, I brought dry food and settled in the rest area of ​​the sea lion hall in the middle section. The shade in the canyon was very cool. I gnawed on the dry food and looked down at the emerald green Maling River. Looking up, there was a ribbon-shaped blue sky framed by the canyon. I sighed. The grandeur of nature.

At about 15:00 in the afternoon, we left the Malinghe Grand Canyon and drove to the next stop, Nahui Village under the Wanfeng Forest in Xingyi. It took about 1 hour and the drive was about 30 kilometers.

Wanfeng Forest is located in the southeast of Xingyi City, Guizhou Province, bordering Guangxi at the southern end. It is the most typical area for the development of cone-shaped karst peak forests in the world. It is the largest and most typical karst peak forest in China and one of the five largest peak forests in my country. The annual average temperature here is 16-18°C, and the summer temperature is 21-26°C. It is a good place to escape the summer heat. However, the ultraviolet rays are strong in summer. Although the temperature is not high, sun protection measures are still required in the sun.

Wanfenglin's accommodation is mainly distributed in the upper, middle and lower Nahui villages in the peak forest. The lower Nahui village is the largest. The Nahui villages are all Buyi villages with simple folk customs. We live in the lower Nahui village. Wanfenglin Jianshan B&B, when I checked in, I found that the owner and his wife are from Xiamen. They came to Wanfenglin for tourism many years ago and were deeply attracted, so they stayed and ran the B&B. Now they have 3 B&Bs around Wanfenglin; The Jianshan B&B we stayed in was the earliest homestay for the boss and his wife, and the boss and his wife have always lived here. There are two lovely big dogs in the homestay, Golden Retriever Tata and Satsuma DIKI, which feel like home.

When we arrived at Jianshan B&B, the sun was shining brightly. We hid in the B&B and made tea with the boss while chatting about the mountains. Brother Qi played around Tata and DIKI. It was a very pleasant afternoon. After staying at about 17:40, we set off for a cycling tour of Nahui to the village. There are many bicycle rental shops in the village. There are bicycle rental shops for adults and children, as well as single-person and multi-person bicycles. The price is affordable. No matter the size of a single-person bicycle, it costs 20 yuan per bicycle. No deposit is required, just return it voluntarily, full of trust.

We went all the way from Xia Nahui Village to Shang Nahui Village. The fields along the way were colorful and sunny, and it was very comfortable. On the way, we rode into the village for a while, stopped at the edge of the field to watch the children catch fish in the rice field, and Come along the slope for a refreshing slide, adults and children, both physically and mentally empty, have a good time.

At dinner time, I just rode near Jiangjun Bridge. There is a street of egg fried rice famous in Wanfenglin. The street is full of egg fried rice. I randomly found Jianping egg fried rice with a lot of family members and ordered egg fried rice. , ice powder, cold salad, soup, fried small fish, etc., a total of 37 yuan, the three of us are already full.

On the 5th day (2020.7.26, Sunday), Wanfenglin can either drive or walk, two feelings, steal half a day in the house in the rain

I woke up naturally today, and found a restaurant by the big banyan tree in the village to have breakfast. I found out that it was a shooting spot when I came to Wanfenglin for the fifth season of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" Beef noodles, beef noodles, and fried crispy meat cost 35 yuan. The noodles are okay, but the fried crispy meat is not good.

After breakfast, drive about 7 kilometers and arrive at the ticket office of Wanfenglin Scenic Area in 20 minutes. Here you can choose to take a battery car or walk up the mountainside, and watch the Wanfeng Forest in the distance, the Nahuibuyi village and fields under the forest from different angles along the way. Tickets are free before July 31, 2020. The battery car is 50 yuan per person. Do not go back, go up the mountain from the ticket office, stop at about 4-5 viewing spots along the way, and go down the mountain after reaching the viewing platform halfway up the mountain, and then go around to Nahui Village, and then back to the ticket office, it will take about 1 hour. Because the battery car visits each site for a short time and there are many people. At the same time, we have finished cycling in the villages at the foot of the mountain yesterday. Later, we used the car to go up to the mountainside, and then went down the mountain without the battery car (need to report to the driver) ), walk back to the ticket office along the way you came, and you need to walk about 3 kilometers; walking back is basically the way down the mountain, which is relatively easy, and because you don’t have to be limited to the battery car stop to watch the scenery, you can find different angles at any time. , No one else affected us to take pictures, and it was quite interesting to stop and go all the way, frolicking and frolicking.

We left the Wanfenglin ticket office at about 13:00, and the parking fee in the scenic spot was 5 yuan. According to the recommendation of a certain platform, we drove for about 10 minutes to Buyi Niu Mowang Hot Pot, where we ate the local specialty beef hot pot with red soup and sour bamboo shoots, very special hot pot, soup Well, the beef is fresh, except that the fried rice is a bit greasy, the other recommendations cost a total of 125 yuan.

After lunch, the sky was a little dark, and there was a sign of rain. We drove 15 minutes back to Wanfeng Lin Jianshan B&B, and went back to the B&B to rest. After a while, the wind and thunder came, and the rain fell. This should be It was the first heavy rain I encountered in Guizhou, and it rained for a whole afternoon; it was a rare leisurely trip, taking a nap, making tea, chatting, and Qi Ge had a great time playing with Tata and DIKI. I also took a lot of photos of them, and I like them very much.

After the rain stopped in the evening, the whole village revealed a sense of coolness. Strolling in the village road, walking into the rice fields, breathing the air after the rain, watching the leisurely passers-by on the road, the afterglow of the setting sun scattered on the green field, a piece of peace, let People can't help but sigh, this is the life they yearn for.

Dinner is at the Dingsu Snack Bar in the village. This is a farm beef shop. We ordered beef in clear soup and beef in dry pot. Both flavors are available. Foodies just can’t let go of delicious things. The beef is very good, and I personally prefer it. The dry pot has more aroma; the clear soup beef is shabu-shabu beef hot pot, which is different from the red soup and sour bamboo shoots beef at noon, and pays more attention to the original taste.

Full of wine and food, go back to the B&B to rest, I will leave tomorrow, faintly reluctant, I like this simple feeling.

On the 6th day (2020.7.27, Monday), seven hours non-stop, just for the beautiful Qiannan Libo

Today, we have to trek nearly 500 kilometers from Wanfenglin to Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. The latest entry time for the big and small seven holes is 16:00. In order to focus on playing the small seven holes tomorrow, we plan to finish the big seven holes this afternoon. In order to ensure that the time is not too rushed, and there is a market in Nahui Village on Monday, it is just right to get up early to experience it. When you get up early, put your luggage in the car first, and it is only after 6 o'clock when you arrive at the market.

Xia Nahui Village has a fixed market every Monday. It is said that the market time of each village here is different, so people from different villages can visit the market every day. After 6 o'clock, the stalls in the market are ready. There are vegetables, meat, fruits, agricultural products, daily necessities, clothes, and snack stalls. Villagers gradually came from all directions, like a festival, we also saw a very interesting thing-an open-air haircut. Accompanied by cheerful music, the barber directly "danced with knives and guns" in the open air.

Breakfast is settled at the food stalls in the market. Meat powder, ice powder, and fresh meat dumplings cost a total of 22 yuan, and the taste is very good. After breakfast, I left the market. I was going to drive away. Brother Qi said it too early. Tata and DIKI were still asleep and didn’t see him. When we came out, the proprietress saw us running back and thought I forgot something. When Qi Ge said that he wanted to say goodbye to Tata DIKI, the proprietress smiled knowingly, and Qi Ge reluctantly said goodbye to his friends. We will keep in mind the good memories that Jianshan B&B left for us. Later, when I came back from the trip, I asked Qi Ge where he liked the most in Guizhou. Without further ado, Qi Ge liked Jianshan B&B, Tata and DIKI. .

At about 8 o'clock, I drove away from the beautiful Nahui Village and started a non-stop seven-hour drive, which broke my record for long-term driving. I arrived at the parking lot at the east gate of the Qikong Scenic Area. When I got off the car, I felt like I was floating. After driving nearly 500 kilometers, the high-speed toll is 361 yuan. The east gate of Daqikong Scenic Area is close to Daqikong Scenic Area. From here, you can take a scenic sightseeing bus to and from Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. Next to it is Libo Mengliu Buyi Town, with convenient food, accommodation and transportation.

The Daqikong Scenic Area is named for the seven-hole bridge on the Dagou River. The bridge is 7 meters high, 4.5 meters wide, and 35 meters long, spanning east and west. Now the Daqikong Ancient Bridge has been abandoned. The route of Qikong Scenic Area does not include the ancient bridge, and the ancient bridge needs to walk for more than 20 minutes from the scenic spot, so tourists are rare. The most famous scenic spot in Daqikong Scenic Area should be the Tiansheng Bridge scenic spot inside. It is a natural giant rock across the river and is one of the wonders of karst. It is called Tiansheng Bridge. It is 60 meters high, more than 10 meters thick, and the bridge hole is more than 20 meters wide; The scenic spots are relatively ordinary, so if you don’t go to the Daqikong Ancient Bridge, it will take more than an hour to walk faster.

Now the tickets for Daqikong Scenic Spot and Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot are combined, and tickets are not sold separately. It is estimated that Xiaoqikong will bring the popularity of Daqikong. Tickets for the Big and Small Qikong Scenic Spots are free before July 31, and you need to pay 10 yuan/person for scenic spot insurance. Children do not need to make reservations on online platforms such as Ctrip in advance. Since Xiaoqikong is a tourist hotspot in Guizhou, there will be traffic restrictions during the epidemic. It is recommended Make an appointment in advance to avoid being unable to enter the park; the ticket is a 2-day ticket, and it is valid for 2 days from the time you have booked to enter the park. The scenic spot is relatively large, and the distance from the beginning to the end is about 30 kilometers. You need to buy a sightseeing ticket of 40 yuan per person, and children also need to buy it ticket. Since the ticket is valid on that day, today we only plan to visit the Daqikong Scenic Spot near the East Gate, so we plan to buy sightseeing tickets tomorrow.

Arrive at the east gate ticket office at about 15:30, just in time for entering the park. After entering the park, walk for about 20 minutes to reach the entrance of Daqikong Scenic Spot. You can choose to enter the scenic spot by cruise ship or on foot. We chose Enter by boat and come back on foot. Note that entering by boat is only near the suspension bridge, and it takes 5-10 minutes to walk to reach the natural bridge of Daqikong. The cruise ship is 30 yuan per person one way, 50 yuan per person for a round trip, and it takes about 15 minutes to arrive at the inner pier. There is no special scenery along the way, but it is good to take a rest on the boat.

In Daqikong, which was completed in an hour by others, we played slowly, and we also searched for Daqikong Ancient Bridge by ourselves. We played for more than 3 hours in total. At about 19:00, leave the scenic spot and check in at the hometown of Libo in the nearby Mengliu Buyi style town. Yi Boutique Inn, dinner at Xiweijia in the town, ordered a set meal with a bottle of beer, signature tofu fish, tomato Kidney beans, minced meat vermicelli, tomato and egg drop soup, the total is 198 yuan, which is very affordable.

On the 7th day (2020.7.28, Tuesday), the beautiful Xiaoqikong is a worthwhile trip

There is no self-driving itinerary today, and I plan to spend the whole day in Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. Xiaoqikong Scenic Area is an original wonderland integrating mountains, water, forests, caves, lakes and waterfalls. There is a seven-hole arch bridge made of bluestone across the Xiangshui River in the scenic spot. It was built in the 15th year of Daoguang. The landmark of Qikong Scenic Area is also the origin of the name of the scenic spot. Libo Xiaoqikong should be regarded as a representative tourist attraction in Guizhou. There are indeed relatively many tourists. The area is about 10 square kilometers. Most of them are natural and open places with fresh air and relatively few people. There are many heavy rains in Libo in summer. If the river rises, sometimes the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area will temporarily close its doors to thank visitors. Therefore, when arranging the itinerary, pay more attention to the weather forecast and the information on the official website or official account of the scenic spot, so as not to affect the itinerary.

We set off for breakfast at about 9 o'clock, found a rice roll shop in Buyi Town, and ordered three rice rolls, a total of 45 yuan, the portion was sufficient, and the taste was not bad. After walking for less than 5 minutes, I arrived at the east gate of the Big and Small Qikong Scenic Area. I bought 3 sightseeing tickets for a total of 120 yuan. You can get on the bus at any stop in the scenic spot. There are air-conditioned buses and battery cars for sightseeing cars. The short-distance stops are battery cars. Most of the arrangements are air-conditioned buses, which are comfortable to park. The sightseeing bus connects the scenic spots from the east gate to the west gate of the scenic spot. From the east gate, it is Daqikong Station-Mengtang Station-Laodongmen Station-Tongguqiao Station-Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge Station-Shishang Forest Station-Gui Beishan Station-Shuishang Forest Station-Cuigu Station-Wetland Station-Tianzhongdongdongqian Station-Yuanyanghu Station-Wolongtan Station-Ximen Return Station, starting from the east gate is an uphill route, because some scenic spots need to walk to the station Between the station and the station, so in order to play more comfortably, it is recommended to take a sightseeing bus at the east gate and go directly to Wolongtan Station, the last scenic spot. From Wolongtan back to play, all the way is downhill, and decisively choose to go to Wolongtan Station first. There are two boarding gates at Daqikong Station, one is to go directly to Wolongtan Station without stopping in between, and the other is to go to the nearby station of Daqikong Station, be careful not to go wrong, and ask the on-site staff more.

From Daqikong Station, take a sightseeing bus around the mountain and arrive at Wolongtan Station in about 20 minutes. Wolongtan is located at the outlet of Wolong River. The surface of the pool is as calm as a mirror, surrounded by trees and strange rocks. It is very artistic to take pictures. In one place, a man-made waterfall called Wolongtan Waterfall is formed by using an arc-shaped barrage. The arc-shaped waterfall is green. The pond water is very beautiful. After coming down from Wolongtan Waterfall, you can choose to take a sightseeing bus or walk to the next stop - Yuanyang Lake, or you can take a rubber boat to drift to Yuanyang Lake in Wolong River. The cost is 50 yuan/person, and the drifting time is about 30-1 hour. how people play. Originally, we planned to go rafting on the Shuichun River in Libo, but we saw that the water volume of the Shuichun River was large and the current was fast, and Qi Ge was still young, so we chose to play a relatively leisurely rafting here in Wolongtan; later It also proves that our choice is correct. The family had a great time. The river is gentle and the surrounding scenery is beautiful and quiet. There are a few man-made slopes that add some thrills and get wet, but the summer sun dries up quickly. Especially wearing quick-drying and breathable clothes, after drifting for about 45 minutes to arrive at Yuanyanghu Station.

Yuanyang Lake is mainly for boating in the forest waterways extending in all directions. The cost is 30 yuan/person. Since we just finished drifting, we felt similar and did not try it. There is Tianzhong Cave Station near Yuanyanghu Station. Here you can take a battery car to Tianzhong Cave. There is no turning back when you enter Tianzhong Cave. You have to go out of the cave all the way. When you get out of the cave, you can take a sightseeing bus to the next station. Station attractions; Tianzhong Cave, about 700 meters long, is a karst cave. Since we have been to Zhijin Cave before, we did not go to Tianzhong Cave. We took a sightseeing bus directly from Yuanyang Lake Station to Cuigu Station. It seems that the wetland station has not stopped recently.

The main scenic spots near Cuigu Station are Jiding Lake, Baiyin Beach, Cuigu Waterfall, and Cuigu Wetland. The most attractive one is Cuigu Waterfall, which is the waterfall with the largest drop in Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. The scene in the program "Pei Ye Going to Adventure", the waterfall splashes among the trees and rocks, forming a beautiful picture. Cuigu Wetland has a large platform composed of gentle rocks, which is named Baiyintan in my impression. The river flows through the platform, and the water level is shallow. It provides an excellent place for tourists to play in the water. Adults and children have a great time playing.

From Cuigu, it takes about 5 minutes to walk to the water forest. The water forest is about 600 meters long and divided into upper and lower sections. In the wonderful scene of growing in the water, we walked from the upper section to the lower section, which is a downhill road, just under the river water, and there is plenty of water vapor inside, which is very cool. From the lower part of the water forest is Guibeishan Station, where you can take a battery car to Shishang Forest Station. From this station, basically everyone will walk all the way to Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge Station, which is the essence of Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. Waterfall, Broken Bridge Waterfall, Laya Waterfall and Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge, etc.

The forest on the stone is the growth of trees in the karst landform. The trees put their roots in the crevices of the rocks, absorb nutrients from the crevices of the rocks, and form the forest on the stones. When they go downhill and walk out of the forest on the stones, they will reach the upper part of the 68-level waterfall. Going down the waterfall, the Broken Bridge Waterfall sprays from a high place, crosses the road and the bridge deck, and pours into the river more than ten meters away. It is connected with the 68-level waterfall, which is very spectacular.

Walking through the 68-level waterfall, you can see the Laya Waterfall from a distance. The waterfall is 10 meters wide and the drop is 30 meters. In the program "Grandfather Going to Adventure", the waterfall that is climbed with bare hands. The sun shines on the waterfall, forming a beautiful rainbow, which is very beautiful.

After passing the Laya Waterfall, you will arrive at the famous Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge. There are the most tourists here. Pedestrians come and go on the bridge. It is very difficult to take a good photo that no one recognizes. We have guarded here for more than 30 In minutes, I finally caught a fleeting opportunity to take a beautiful photo of the ancient bridge without people, which is really beautiful. We arrived at the ancient bridge at around 17:00 in the afternoon, and it was around 18:00 when we left the ancient bridge. At this time, the sun is not so hot. It is recommended to choose to take pictures on the downstream side of the ancient bridge. The light and composition are good.

Walk from Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge to Tonggu Bridge. The bridge is 126 meters long, 60 meters wide, 2.4 meters wide, and 25 meters high. . Take the sightseeing bus from Tongguqiao Station and return to Daqikong Station. The time difference when we left the scenic spot was more than 19:00. For dinner, we still chose Xiweijia last night. We wanted to try their hydrochloric acid fish. The total cost was 199 yuan.

After playing all day, it still takes a lot of energy. Go back to the inn to rest and replenish your energy. The next stop tomorrow is Maolan.

On the 8th day (2020.7.29, Wednesday), a preliminary exploration of Maolan, a hidden treasure in the mountains

This morning, after breakfast, leave the beautiful Qikong, drive about 70 kilometers, and drive for about 1.5 hours to Maolan National Nature Reserve. Maolan National Nature Reserve is located in Libo County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. It is a typical karst fengcong funnel and fengcong depression landform. It is a place for development and there are not many tourists at present. The accommodation in the protected area is generally concentrated near the Wuyan Bridge. We chose Dongji Village near the Wuyan Bridge, which is relatively quiet.

The Maolan Nature Reserve is very large. After checking the strategy on the Internet, the main routes are as follows:

1. Golden Lion Cave-Nine Caves-Shenxian Cave-Black Hole, this is a primitive cave route, suitable for outdoor enthusiasts, requires some physical strength, pay attention to bring a flashlight, etc. It is recommended to go in the morning, and the staff will not enter if it is too late in the afternoon , because it is a primitive cave, so if you have no outdoor adventure experience, it is recommended to find a local guide.

2. Yaosuo Ancient Bridge - Huangyanggou - Latan Waterfall - Crab Valley - Water Forest.

3. Wuyan Bridge-Qinglongjian-Qinglong Waterfall-Qinglongtan-Qinglong Bridge.

4. Shishang Forest - Observation Deck - Bailifenghai.

5. Swallow Cave-Trough Valley Forest-Yilan Valley-Funnel Forest. This is a route through the primeval forest. Depending on physical strength, it will take at least half a day. The program "Follow Mr. Pei to Adventure" also crosses here. The road is long and steep, with few people and many wild animals. If you have no outdoor adventure experience, It is safer to find a local guide.

Leisure travelers are advised to choose the 2nd and 3rd routes, which are easy and comfortable. Those who like to explore can choose 1 or 5 routes. The 4th route requires a certain amount of physical strength, and you need to climb steeper and more steps, but you can overlook the entire Mao at a high altitude. orchid protected area. Since we don't want to make ourselves too tired, there is still half of the itinerary for the Guizhou tour, so our plan is to take the second and third leisure routes.

Maolan National Nature Reserve is free of tickets before July 31, but you need to pay 10 yuan/person for insurance. You can take the battery car in the reserve to enter the game. The battery car costs 50 yuan/person. If you live in the reserve, you can Show the reservation information and inform the staff that after signing the commitment letter for self-driving entry, you can drive into the scenic spot by yourself, but you must drive directly to the parking lot of the hotel where you are staying, and you are not allowed to stop halfway. Otherwise, you will buy triple sightseeing tickets according to the number of seats in the vehicle. To buy a battery ticket, your own car needs to be parked in the parking lot at the entrance, and then re-enter the scenic spot by car after returning from the tourist attraction.

Looking at the map, I originally planned to finish the second route on the self-driving road before arriving at the inn, so as to make full use of time, but due to the regulations of the reserve, we decided to go down the route first, depending on the situation on the road. I didn’t buy a battery ticket. Later, I only saw Yaosuo Ancient Bridge and Huangyanggou, two scenic spots that were not stationed by staff. Latan Waterfall, Crab Ditch and Shuinhuilin were staffed, so our car couldn’t stop and chose to give up. Overall For example, Yaosuo Ancient Bridge and Huangyanggou are non-battery car stops. There are almost no people, and the peaceful and beautiful scenery can be enjoyed slowly. Latan Waterfall, Crab Ditch and Water Forest may be similar to Huangguoshu and Xiaoqikong, which are relatively primitive. It's not such a pity to give up.

From Libo, you usually enter from the Reagan checkpoint. Next to the checkpoint is the service center and parking lot. Enter from the entrance of the Reagan checkpoint. If you don’t go around Latan Waterfall, you can directly reach Dongji Village where our hotel is located. We want to Try your luck and go in the direction of Latan Waterfall, walk out of the protected area from the Sanchahe service station, and enter the protected area again from the Bage checkpoint. Generally, the car coming from the direction of Guangxi will enter the protected area from Bage and go around for a while. big circle. It is recommended that if you don’t want to buy a battery ticket, after watching Yaosuo Ancient Bridge and Huangyanggou, you should not go to Latan Waterfall. The car turns around and walks to Wuyan Bridge, which is closer and faster.

Arrived at the Shanshe Inn at about 13:00, the boss Xiao Zhou recommended himself as a good cook, we chose to eat at the inn for lunch, and ordered fresh bamboo shoots, shredded pork, corn with minced meat, and fried farm vegetables. Simple farm dishes, the taste is really good, very delicious Dinner, the price is not bad, a total of 75 yuan. Feeling that Boss Xiao Zhou's cooking skills are really good, he decided to have dinner at the inn, and ordered a farm chicken from the boss, and he had a good dinner.

After lunch, rest in the inn room. I don’t know if I’m tired or I slept too comfortably. I slept until 15:30, and set off to take the third play route: Wuyan Bridge-Qinglongjian-Qinglong Waterfall-Qinglongtan- Qinglong Bridge, this route is very leisurely, the temperature is a bit low along the river, pay attention to keep warm, it takes about 1 hour to go back and forth. When we returned to Wuyan Bridge, it was already 17 o'clock. Since the time was good, we planned to visit the nearest Golden Lion Cave. Before arriving at the Golden Lion Cave, we met a couple who said that the Golden Lion Cave would not be allowed to enter at 17 o'clock. Yes, remind us that we don’t need to go; well, next time we have a chance to come to Maolan, we will cross the four holes again.

When I returned to Shanshe Inn, at about 18:00, Boss Xiao Zhou had already killed his own native chicken, which weighed about 3.5 catties, part of which was stewed with native chicken soup, part of which was stewed with braised native chicken, and one more portion. The total cost was 222 yuan. , the food is well cooked, and a dinner is very satisfying. Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow we plan to go to the Miao Village in Leishan, the next stop. Since Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is too commercialized, its night view is more attractive to us, so we plan to go to Langde Shangzhai, which is less touristy than the original, during the day, and then at night Go to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village to see the night view.

On the 9th day (2020.7.30, Thursday), the simple and simple Langde village, the beautiful Xijiang Miao village night

In the morning, I ate egg noodles with tomatoes cooked by the proprietress of Shanshe Yizhan. It is simple, delicious and affordable, only 20 yuan. Drive away from Maolan at around 9 o'clock, about 220 kilometers, and arrive at Langde Miao Village in about 3.5 hours. The high-speed fee is 107 yuan.

Langde Miao Village is located on the banks of the Bala River at the foot of Leigong Mountain, the main peak of Miaoling Mountains. It is 29 kilometers away from Kaili City, the capital of Qiandongnan Prefecture, and nearly 10 kilometers away from Leishan County. The building is relatively new, no tickets are charged, and there is relatively nothing to see. There is a ticket office at the intersection from Xiazhai to Shangzhai. Tickets are free before July 31, 2020, but you need to buy a sightseeing bus ticket and take a sightseeing bus to Langde Shangzhai; Xiazhai There is a paid underground parking lot for tourists to park their vehicles, and then take the scenic sightseeing bus to Shangzhai. The one-way journey takes about 5 minutes. The one-way ticket is 5 yuan/person, and the round-trip is 10 yuan/person. Children under 1.2 meters are free of charge. If you walk up one-way It takes about 20-30 minutes to walk down the Olympic trail in Xiazhai, which is different from the sightseeing trail and needs to climb stairs.

Those who come to Langde basically go to Langde Shangzhai. The ancient buildings of Shangzhai are listed as the fifth batch of key cultural relics protection units in my country. Road-blocking wine songs, costumed Miao dance, Lusheng dance, etc., are very authentic and simple. There is no big stage, no lighting equipment, just a small square in the stockade, which is very worth seeing; the performance time is divided into morning and afternoon. We watched at 16:00 in the afternoon.

Langde Shangzhai, the relatively popular Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, is more original and has few tourists. It is very quiet to walk in the village. Most of the people you see are the villagers, and the villagers are also very simple. They mostly do things in the house at noon Miao embroidery or playing silver ornaments, etc. The stockade is not big, it is built on the hillside, and there are many steps. It takes only an hour to walk slowly. At noon, I ate at Chen Long’s farmhouse next to the performance square. I ordered small river fish, bracken fried bacon, and preserved vegetables. Dried bamboo shoots, etc., cost a total of 124 yuan, farm food, very good meal.

After lunch, there is still some time before the performance in the afternoon. We walked around the stockade and finally went to the small river next to the stockade to play in the water. The river is clear and the water level is low. There are some children playing in the water here. There are tourists and locals. If you want to go swimming, There is a small shop on the shore that sells swimsuits.

At about 15:30, I heard the radio in the village, which should be telling the villagers that the performance time is coming soon, and they need to start preparing, and then all the men, women and children in the village will be seen. The first thing to start is the twelve bars of wine at the gate of the village. The hospitable villagers, along the mountain road into the village, played the reeds, sang Miao songs, and placed twelve bars of wine. According to the traditional custom, It is necessary to drink twelve courses, but there is no mandatory requirement now, and during the epidemic, people have a relatively high awareness of public health, so tourists mostly just taste it, participate in it, and have a good time.

After the performance of the Twelve Barriers, the Zhaiminmen will come to the performance square in the village to hold performances such as Miao dance and Lusheng dance. The performance lasts about 30-40 minutes. Everyone gathers in the square and discovers the village There are far more people than tourists. The villagers performed very hard. It seems that the whole village participated in the performance. There were elders with white hair, Miao girls in costumes, guys playing Lusheng, and Miao children also performed on stage. Yes, the whole performance is great. Although there are no professional dancers and gorgeous stage lights, the original ecology and simplicity inside are the most unforgettable. It is the most memorable performance of this Guizhou tour.

At about 17:30, drive from Langde Miao Village to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. The drive is about 25 kilometers, and it takes less than 1 hour to reach the Ximen parking lot at the main entrance of Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village Scenic Spot. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is located in the northeast of Leishan County. It is currently the largest Miao village in China and even in the world. The Miao village is built on the bottom of the river valley, the Baishui River passes through the village, and there are many wind and rain bridges built on the river. The main body of the Miao village is located on the valley slope to the northeast of the river. Qianhu Miao Village is most famous for its night view. At dusk, thousands of households slowly light up their lights. As night comes, the lights on both sides of the valley are all lit up. The lights of the entire Miao Village are very magnificent and amazing. . The viewing platform has a panoramic view of Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang during the day, and the lights are turned on at night. The viewing effect is good, but there are too many people. It is recommended that if you want to take pictures and enjoy it, stay in an inn near the viewing platform and choose a place where you can view the scenery Room type, you can freely enjoy this beautiful night view. Before July 31, 2020, tickets to scenic spots are free, and you only need to buy sightseeing tickets, 20 yuan per person, which is quite cost-effective. ID card verification is required for the first time, and you only need to scan your face for subsequent boarding.

Here we need to complain about the traffic setting of the scenic spot. First of all, the Ximen parking lot is a ground parking lot. There are many floors built according to the mountain. There are only stairs between each floor. Those who park below have to climb several floors of stairs with their luggage. , It took us more than 20 minutes from the parking lot to the entrance of the scenic spot, and then we had to pass through a commercial area from the entrance of the scenic spot to reach the ticket gate of the scenic spot. After walking for nearly 20 minutes, we went in at the ticket gate and changed to the sightseeing bus in the scenic spot. , drive for 5 minutes to arrive at Changxiao Station in the scenic area. From Changxiao Station, you have to walk downhill for about 400 meters to reach the viewing platform, and then you can take the next sightseeing bus. Our inn is at the viewing platform Nearby, if you are in other places, if you take a sightseeing bus down, you have to climb the steps with your luggage, it will be a toss to death; when you come in, you need to walk 400 meters downhill to the viewing platform, but when you leave, you have to climb 400 meters with your luggage. The steep slope is super tiring. If you drive by yourself and live in the scenic spot, it is strongly recommended to enter the scenic spot with light packs, and put the rest of your luggage in the car, which can improve the quality of your visit.

It was already past 19:00 when we arrived at Xijiang Legend Inn. Put away your luggage and listen to the innkeeper’s brief introduction to the scenic spot. We walked down the mountain to find something to eat. We arrived at No. 4 Fengyu Bridge in about 3-5 minutes. If you don’t want to walk , you can take a sightseeing bus to the viewing platform, and you can reach No. 1 Fengyu Bridge in 3 minutes. The mountain is relatively quiet, but it starts to get lively when you get down the mountain. There are night market snack areas, barbecue areas, commodity areas, etc., as well as various bars, restaurants, etc. People come and go, and it feels a bit similar to Lijiang. We found a restaurant with good ratings on a certain platform - Caotang Tea House, and navigated to it. The restaurant is just on the hillside opposite the viewing platform. The restaurant can enjoy the light view on the side of the viewing platform, and the scenery is good. According to the recommendation, I ordered the restaurant's signatures-Miaojia sour soup fish, stir-fried yellow beef, etc. The total cost was 221 yuan. The service of the restaurant is good and the dishes taste good.

After dinner, take a walk slowly, walk to No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge, take a sightseeing bus to the viewing platform, the viewing platform is crowded with people, there are many businesses that provide services for taking pictures and Miao costumes, Qi’s mother sees the needles, and the family finds a gap I took a picture and quickly evacuated the crowd. After walking for more than 1 minute, we returned to our inn. In fact, we can see a very spectacular night view in the room. Qi Ma has been staying on the balcony to take pictures freely, which is much better than on the observation deck.

On the 10th day (2020.7.31, Friday), the mountains went around to see this hidden terraced field

Get up in the morning, wash up, and walk down the mountain. On the road, I saw a gathering place for fighting birds. Guizhou people love fighting birds. Two kinds of and yellow vine bird, especially the thrush, are local favorites. It's a pity that after playing in Guizhou for so many days, I didn't see a real fighting bird.

In the morning, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village has fewer pedestrians than at night. We ate beef noodles at a nearby restaurant in the morning. We planned to visit the fields of Miao Village. After we arrived, there were not many outstanding places, and some gardens were surrounded by fees. In addition, the weather was hot, so we left the fields early, returned to No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge, and took a sightseeing bus Back to the inn to check out.

Pushing the luggage, tossing all the way, finally returned to the Ximen parking lot. The overnight parking fee in the Ximen parking lot is 30 yuan. At about 11:00, I drove to the Congjiangjiabang Terraced Fields. The journey is about 265 kilometers, about 5 hours. The 3-hour Huanshan Road almost made people dizzy. It's not easy to come here once. We encountered heavy rain on the way, so we stopped and had lunch in Tingdong Town. Lunch was at a noodle shop in the town. Three bowls of beef noodles with fried eggs cost only 24 yuan.

Arrive at Jiache Village at Jiabang Terraced Fields at about 17:00. Our inn is Lianghuaju, located on the top of the mountain. The navigation can only lead to Jiache Village. Contact the innkeeper to tell us that we are now checking in at Lianghua Space at the foot of the mountain, and gave us a Positioning, as a result, we didn’t know how many times we passed Lianghuaju, but we didn’t notice that Lianghuaju was on the side of the road entering the village. We also saw the inn butler, and we didn’t realize that we missed it at all. , Maybe Kaishan Road got dizzy, so the master arranged by the inn had to guide our car to the small platform under Lianghuaju where we stayed on the top of the mountain to park, put our luggage in the room first, and then go down to Lianghua space to check in again.

Jiabang Terraced Fields is located in the northeast of Jiabang Township in the hinterland of Moon Mountain in the west of Congjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. It is 80 kilometers away from the county seat. It is one of the best terraced fields in China. Known as China's three major terraced fields. The total area of ​​Jiabang terraced fields is nearly 10,000 mu. The terraced fields are close to the Jiache River, and there is abundant rain all year round. In the morning, there will be clouds and mist rising above the Jiache River. Driving a large sea of ​​clouds, terraced fields, villages, sea of ​​clouds, and the sun, constitute a beautiful landscape. Fantastic picture scroll, very good. I have been to Longji Terraced Fields in Guangxi before, and I was shocked by the beautiful terraced fields, so I knew that Guizhou has Jiabang Terraced Fields that are as famous as Longji Terraced Fields, so I decided to visit. Compared with the Longji Terraces, the Jiabang Terraces are more spectacular. The development is relatively primitive. There is no commercialization and no tickets. Except for some restaurants and inns, there are basically no entertainment items. There are not many tourists. In addition, during the epidemic, there are very few tourists. Most of the tourists are self-driving tourists. The Jiache Village where we are located is very quiet, and it is a hidden place where you can be in a daze and let go.

After completing the formalities in Lianghua Space, I went to Jiache Village for a stroll. The stilted buildings in the village are scattered over the Jiache River Valley. The surrounding terraced fields are endless. The villagers are either working in the fields or in the Feeding chickens and ducks, or chatting in groups of three or four in the small square, children chasing and playing, it is very simple, it is a simple farm scene, far away from the hustle and bustle, come here, put aside your troubles, and enjoy the tranquility.

Jiache Village, currently there are not many tourists, there are only a few places to eat. For dinner, go to the well-decorated Yunti Club next to the main road. There are viewing seats here. You can eat while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the terraced fields. The Yunti Club also provides The accommodation and the location are good. It is said that the owner is from Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. He thinks that the inns in Qianhu Miao Village are already saturated. He thinks that the inns in Jiabang terraced fields have just started, and the prospects will be very good. He opened a ladder here. meeting. I wanted to eat Daoxiangyu at first, but the boss said that it is not the time for Daoxiangyu. It will be available after September. Now it is mainly meat products. We ordered dry pot beef, etc. The portion is large and delicious, the chef I am from Hunan, and the recipe of Hunan cuisine is very good. The total cost is 202 yuan.

After dinner, take a slow walk and walk back to the wooden house of the Lianghuaju Inn on the top of the mountain. It takes a long uphill walk. I am already out of breath when I arrive at the inn. The inn stands alone on the top of the mountain. There are no people around, so it is very quiet. Stay in three rooms. After taking a good bath, go to the platform in front of the inn to enjoy the cool mountain breeze, look at the lights of the village in the distance, and look up to find that the sky is full of stars, which is so beautiful and very comfortable.

On the 11th day (2020.8.1, Saturday), stay away from the hustle and bustle, enjoy a piece of tranquility in a wooden house on the top of the mountain

Woke up early today, and went out with Qi's mother at about 5 o'clock to watch the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds, and left Brother Qi in the room to sleep well. When we came out, it was quiet outside, there were only 3-4 people, and what caught our eyes was a large sea of ​​clouds, slowly fluttering in the valley with the wind, or passing through the terraced fields, or covering the villages, the sun was preparing Rising, the picture is very beautiful. It's still a bit chilly in the early morning, so you need to wear a thin coat to avoid catching cold.

The sea of ​​clouds will slowly dissipate after the sun rises. At about 7 o'clock, we went back to the room to sleep. Before 10:00, we went down the mountain to Lianghuaweidao, the canteen of Lianghuaju Inn, for breakfast. Lianghuaweidao is located on the side of the road opposite Lianghua Space at the foot of the mountain. The breakfast is rice noodles and boiled eggs, which tastes good. Before the epidemic, Lianghuaweidao was operating lunch and dinner, but now due to lack of manpower, it only provides breakfast for inn guests for the time being. After breakfast, I looked at the map and decided to walk to the Luoluo Terraced Fields near Jiache Village to have a look. I walked up the Huanshan Road all the way, and it took about 20 minutes according to the navigation. It's a pity that after arriving at the location, there are many trees around. Qi's mother walked around several places, but there is no good viewing place. The best viewing area is in an inn. The waiter at the door asked for money, but we refused , you can check it out if necessary.

Return to Jiache Village at about 11:30 noon, and still go to Yuntihui for dinner. This time I mainly ordered dry pot fragrant pork. Fried meat, fried sweet potato leaves, a total cost of 225 yuan. I bought melon seeds, peanuts, fruits, drinks, instant noodles and other food at the grocery store in the village. I plan to go back to the mountaintop inn to spend a leisurely afternoon. I don’t plan to go down the mountain at night. tired.

Back at the inn, yesterday’s guests have already checked out, and the new guests have not yet arrived. Usually, new guests arrive in the evening. Due to the shortage of manpower due to the epidemic, there are no staff in the wooden house of the Lianghuaju Inn on the top of the mountain. All are free to use by the residents. Spend some time living and dreaming. In a place called Lianghua, our family of three enjoys the afternoon time alone in the entire inn on the top of the mountain. We boil water and find teapots by ourselves. In the rest area on the first floor, we are quiet Quietly making tea, gnawing peanuts, reading a book, and chatting about the mountains, it was very pleasant; when the first batch of guests came in the evening, they even regarded us as the hosts of the inn, haha.

With the arrival of batches of guests, the inn gradually became lively. There were a lot of people tonight, and the rooms were full; I also saw lightning everywhere, but I couldn't see the beautiful starry sky like yesterday, so I went to bed early to rest.

On the 12th day (2020.8.2, Sunday), Basha spear dance, Zhaoxing regrets losing the Dong nationality song

I can't forget the beautiful sea of ​​clouds yesterday. I got up early again this morning and called Brother Qi to watch the sunrise together. This is the first time that Brother Qi has watched the sunrise! Today may be due to the influence of the rain last night, the clouds and fog are much lighter than yesterday, and the clouds in the sky are much thicker, blocking the sun a little. It is not as beautiful as yesterday, but it is still beautiful. People who get up early are already everywhere. Take all kinds of beautiful photos.

After watching the sunrise, go back to the room to rest, pack up your luggage, put your luggage in the car at about 8:00, and drive down the mountain to have breakfast. Today, Lianghuawei Rice also provides porridge in addition to noodles. Qi's mother bought pickled mustard at the nearby grocery store, which is not bad with porridge. After breakfast, drive slowly away from Jiache Village, stop to take pictures when encountering beautiful scenery along the way, pass by several viewing pavilions, stop and take pictures like this, walk out of Jiabang Terraced Fields, and go to Lasha Miao From the village, the journey is about 90 kilometers, and it takes about 2.5 hours to arrive at Basha Miao Village at about 12 noon.

Basha Miao Village is located at the foot of Moon Mountain, 6 kilometers south of Congjiang County, Guizhou Province. It belongs to Bingmei Town, Congjiang County. Basha people still retain the ancient production and lifestyle nearly two thousand years ago. Retaining the traditional lifestyle of hunting with guns, Basha people have obtained special approval from the public security organs for holding guns. Basha men attach great importance to their hair bun, which is called "hugun" in Basha Miao language, and is the most important gender symbol in men's attire - most of the hair around the male head is shaved off, leaving only The hair in the middle is a bun, and Basha men start to wear it at the age of three, and keep it all their lives. It is said that this attire was handed down from the time of Chi You's ancestor, and it is also the oldest male hair style that can be seen in China so far. There is also a very special ancient way of life in Basha - shaving with a sickle, which requires certain skills and is passed down from generation to generation by the older generation, making it unique.

We drove to the Basha Miao Village by ourselves, and did not see the need for tickets. Later, when we watched the Basha performance, we needed a ticket fee of 60 yuan per person, and children were free. tickets. When I arrived at Basha Miao Village, it happened to be lunch time, so I found a restaurant in the Miao Village called Shan Li Shan Wai for dinner. Twice-cooked pork, Miao pickled fish, and fried vegetables cost a total of 145 yuan. The taste of pickled fish is quite special, not every day. Everyone can accept it, and I personally think it's good, but Qi's mother and Qi brother are not very used to it.

In the afternoon, I went for a walk in the stockade. The whole stockade looked very simple, and it seemed that the arrival of tourists did not affect their lives. Before 15:30, I came to the performance field of Basha Miao Village to watch the traditional performance of Basha. On the whole, except for firing guns and shaving the head with a sickle, the others were very ordinary, and the performers did not have the concentration of Lang De to go to the village. Many actions are very casual, with a strong commercial flavor, which I personally don't like very much.

At about 16:30, drive away from Basha Miao Village and go to Zhaoxing Dong Village. The journey is about 45 kilometers and takes about 1 hour. Zhaoxing Dong Village, located in Liping County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, is one of the largest Dong villages in the country and is known as "the first Dong village". The Zhaoxing Dong villages are all Dong people with the surname Lu, and they are divided into five major families, living in five natural areas, which are called "Tuan" locally. It is divided into five groups: Ren Group, Righteous Group, Li Group, Zhi Group and Xin Group. Each group has a drum tower, a flower bridge and a stage. Town of". Zhaoxing is not only the hometown of Drum Tower, but also the hometown of singing and dancing. There are Dong song troupe and Dong opera troupe in the village. Tickets for Dongzhai are from August 1st to December 31st, 2020. Tickets are 50% off, adults are 40 yuan/person, children under 1.4 meters are free of charge, tickets for sightseeing tickets from the ticket office to Dongzhai scenic spot are 20 yuan/person, and the sightseeing bus takes about It takes 5-10 minutes to arrive. It is estimated that it will take nearly 30 minutes to enter on foot. The weather is hot and you are carrying luggage. It is recommended to take a sightseeing bus.

The car is parked in the parking lot of the ticket office and enters the scenic spot by sightseeing car. The inn owner who contacted in advance is already waiting at the end of the sightseeing car. It is only about 1 minute away from the end of the sightseeing car to the inn, which is very close. After checking in at the inn, the owner of the inn gave us a brief introduction to the main distribution of the Dong village. From the boss, I learned that if you drive from Zhaoxing Dong village to Tang’an Dong village, you need to make a detour. The road is long and the mountain road conditions are not good. , about an hour’s drive, and there is a special bus directly across from the Dong Village in Zhaoxing Dong Village, which only takes more than 20 minutes by car. The round-trip fee is 20 yuan/person, and children under 1.4 meters are free; Zhaoxing Dong Village Many inns and shops in the village have ticket agents for the bus tickets between Zhaoxing Dongzhai and Tang’an Dongzhai. We bought the tickets directly from the innkeeper and plan to go to Tang’an Dongzhai tomorrow morning.

Walking around the Dong Village, the village is very large and the road is very wide. It may be affected by the epidemic. There are not many tourists on the road. Compared with the Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, it is much less; when passing by the performance venue, I learned that there will be an extra performance at 20:00 tonight The song and dance performance of the Dong nationality "Singing Songs and Sitting on the Moon" was supposed to be on Tuesday to Saturday, Sunday and Monday. If there is an extra show, of course you have to come and enjoy the famous Dong nationality song; the discounted price for the performance ticket is 68 yuan per adult Children under 1.4 meters are free. I bought the tickets and continued to visit the stockade. The sky was getting dark. I found a restaurant recommended by an online platform - Jiangjiang’s dishes for dinner. I ordered fried beef with scallions, braised rice field fish, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, eggplant and beans, a total of 201 yuan, the taste is really good, that The brown sugar glutinous rice cake is especially good, and the brown sugar sauce is very rich.

During the meal, there was a sudden heavy rain, which subsided the scorching heat. After the meal, the rain stopped. Seeing that it was still early, we continued to visit the stockade. We arrived at the performance venue at about 19:50 when we were about to watch the performance. , I realized that due to the previous heavy rain, the performance venue was an outdoor venue. I was worried that the heavy rain would not be able to perform as scheduled, so I decided to cancel tonight’s performance. Have fun. At the Drum Tower of the five groups of Zhaoxing Dong Village, around 20:00 every day, the local villagers will take turns to perform spontaneous Dong singing and dancing performances. Today is a ritual group. Since you can’t see professional performances, go and see folk The performance is also good, but we waited for a while at the Drum Tower of the Lituan and did not see the performance; I asked the little girl of the Dong nationality who sold ice powder at a stall next to the Drum Tower, and the girl said that her cousin is an actor in the performance field, and her aunt is a folk performance of the Lituan Member, she enthusiastically used her mobile phone to help us inquire about the situation. Later, she said that because of the rain and the Dong Township competition had just ended a while ago, she didn’t come out to perform today. It seems that we are not destined. We slowly went back to the inn to rest up.

On the 13th day (2020.8.3, Monday), Zhaoxing Temple Anyou, night tour of the ancient town

Get up in the morning, store your luggage in the inn, find a random restaurant in the Dong village, order three bowls of noodles, and spend 26 yuan; Dong village has a village gate to welcome guests around 10:30 in the morning, and I have seen the Miao people in Langde Shangzhai The shocking performance of the twelve gate wine welcomes is very much looking forward to the welcome at the gate of the Dong village. After breakfast, stroll around the gate of the village and wait for the welcome at the gate of the village. I don’t know if it’s because there aren’t many tourists. The whole village gate feels like it’s only 5 minutes to welcome guests. 10 or so people simply sang and sang, and the toast is over. Xiaojiazi was so angry that he couldn't compare with the twelve gate wines in Langde's Shangzhai, but he was dispatched by the whole village.

The bus shuttle bus from Zhaoxing Dongzhai to Tang'an Dongzhai departs from Zhaoxing Dongzhai on the hour and from Tang'an Dongzhai at half o'clock; we thought it would take a long time to welcome guests at the gate of the village, but we thought it might take 12 o'clock As a result, we got a car at 11 o'clock and it was more than enough. Take the bus and go through a bumpy mountain road, and drive for about 20 minutes to the parking lot of Tang'an Dongzhai. Walking out of the parking lot, you can see a large terraced field. Although it is not as magnificent as the Jiabang terraced field, the scenery is still very good. Compared with Zhaoxing Dong Village, Tang’an Dong Village is more primitive, and the houses are more simple. The village is not big and can be visited quickly. There are also many inns in the village. If you have enough time, you can stay for one night and feel the Dong Village in the mountains. ease.

There was a small incident during lunch. I had already ordered a good dish at a restaurant, but the boss had a problem with the arrangement of cooking and a family jumped in the middle of the line. As a result, we waited for nearly 40 minutes without a dish starting to cook, so we canceled it and moved to other places. Home. I chose a restaurant at random, and ordered fried snails, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and fried pork with beans. In less than 10 minutes, all the dishes were ready. We were hungry and finally able to eat. The total cost was 89 yuan. After lunch, take the bus back to Zhaoxing Dong Village. Zhaoxing Dong Village is very quiet in the afternoon. We walked along the small river in the village and walked around the Drum Tower and Huaqiao of the five regiments; return before 15:00 Go to the inn, pick up your luggage, and take a sightseeing bus back to the parking lot at the ticket office. The parking fee is 30 yuan. When you leave the parking lot at about 15:30, drive to the next stop, Zhenyuan Ancient City. The distance is about 245 kilometers, and it takes about 3.5 hours. The high-speed fee is 158 yuan.

Zhenyuan Ancient City is located in Zhenyuan County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, on the banks of the Wuyang River. It has a long history of more than 2,000 years and was awarded the title of "Top Ten Most Beautiful Ancient Cities in China". The ancient city of Zhenyuan is an ancient city that is diversified and integrated. More than 20 ethnic minorities such as the Han nationality and the Dong nationality live in harmony. , making Zhenyuan a multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multi-society museum. It is called the "world cultural protection circle" by experts. The ancient city does not need tickets, and private cars cannot enter from morning to 22:00, so you need to pay attention to itinerary arrangements.

Since family cars cannot be smuggled in the ancient city, the owner of the inn told us to navigate to the Ximen Chuixue parking lot, so that the navigation will lead to the back of the ancient city. After check-in at the inn, when we came out of the inn, the sky gradually darkened. When we arrived at Zhusheng Bridge, there were more people and it became lively. Every house was lit up and waited. Walking along the Wuyang River, the night view is very beautiful. The ancient city of Zhenyuan is full of ancient Chinese martial arts style. There are many shops and inns related to martial arts, such as our inn Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, Ximen Chuixue Inn, etc. Walking in the ancient city, you will feel like entering the ancient martial arts society, and you will feel like The impulse to walk the world with a sword, haha.

Dinner is at an interesting restaurant called Xiao Er Serving. The owner of this restaurant must be a fan of Jin Yong. The restaurant is decorated with characters and scenes from Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and there are many "martial arts secrets". We ordered the famous dried Potted Guizhou skin-on beef, braised meat with preserved vegetables, small river shrimp, etc., cost a total of 182 yuan, which is very good and worth recommending. After dinner, continue to walk around the ancient city along the Wuyang River and return to the inn. The night in the ancient city is very beautiful and lively. There are many bars by the Wuyang River. The resident band sings very well. There are also some street singers and Artists are also great. People who like nightlife should like it very much when they come to Zhenyuan Ancient City.

On the 14th day (2020.8.4, Tuesday), climb the ship screen and look far away, and see the beautiful armor at night

In addition to Zhenyuan Ancient City, Zhenyuan also has Qinglong Cave, Shiping Mountain, etc. Qinglong Cave integrates Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. "World Cliff Ancient Architecture Garden", because we are not very interested in temples, we chose Shiping Mountain to climb up and look far away; Shiping Mountain is on the east side of Wuyang River, and the relative height difference of Wuyang River is 204 meters. Shiping Mountain faces Beishan on the city side. , like a large screen, erected in the mountains, hence the name Shiping. To climb Shiping Mountain, you should come early, otherwise the weather will be hot, and there are many steps to climb Shiping Mountain, it will be very hard; the ticket for our family of three is 21 yuan, how to divide the adults and children, I forgot, I heard that there is a route that can enter without buying a ticket, But seeing that the entrance of the scenic spot is very close to our inn, there is no way to find a route without buying tickets.

First store your luggage in the inn, and for breakfast, try Yuanwei Tofu Nao, a specialty snack bar in the ancient city. It is near the Zhusheng Bridge. A must, super delicious, couldn't resist ordering another one. After breakfast, I started to climb Shiping Mountain. For people like me with knee injuries, mountain climbing is actually the last thing I want to do. However, in order to go up the mountain to overlook the ancient city of Zhenyuan, I still insisted on climbing to the viewing pavilion. The Wuyang River broke through the ancient city, and I was not interested in the beacon tower and the ancient city wall of Miaojiang behind. It was still Qi Ma who climbed up the beacon tower and the ancient city wall of Miaojiang without any shade trees.

Originally, I planned to go to the alleys of the ancient city today to see the ancient alleys, ancient houses, etc., but today the Zhenyuan high temperature warning reached a maximum temperature of over 36 degrees in the afternoon, and it was noon when we came down from Shiping Mountain. Streets and alleys. I found a quiet coffee shop called Xunmi by the Wuyang River. I ordered fried chicken nuggets, French fries, pasta, and ice-cold drinks. The family of three ate, chatted, and played poker in it. The hot noon cost a total of 234 yuan. Returned to the inn around 14:00, picked up the luggage, left Zhenyuan, and drove to Guiyang. The journey was about 275 kilometers, and it took about 4 hours. The high-speed fee was 174 yuan.

Guiyang originally booked a hostel with starry sky suites. As a result, we booked the room type two months in advance. On the afternoon of the day when we were about to check in, the hostel notified us that the previous guest had renewed the lease. We could not check in. We spent several hours on the highway During the process, I negotiated with the hostel many times, until we arrived at the hostel to communicate, and the hostel could not provide a satisfactory solution; until we applied for Ctrip customer service to intervene, Ctrip customer service was very good, and helped us solve the accommodation problem within 15 minutes, and gave us a big thank you praise. Due to spending a little more time with the previous hostel, it was already 20:00 when we arrived at Shuiyuntian Hotel in Guiyang, which was helped by Ctrip. It was the first time we met such a rude businessman. Fortunately, we didn’t mess up our wonderful trip to Guizhou on the last day. After putting away the luggage in the room, Qi’s mom and Qi’s brother went out to look for food by themselves first. I drove for about 10 minutes to return the car at the Yihi Car Rental Airport Store, and then took a taxi back to the vicinity of Jiaxiu Building at a cost of 26 yuan.

When I found Qi Ma and the others, they had already bought a lot of food, such as duck neck, fried crispy meat, milk tea, pineapple beer, etc. They recommended me to eat Nankou Changwang Noodles, which are super delicious, remember to be sure Order the spicy ones, the spicy ones are the best, only ten yuan a night, cheap and delicious. I heard from a colleague that the barbecue in Guiyang is very good. I searched an online platform and found that the recommended ones were not nearby. I didn’t want to go there. I happened to see a restaurant called Granny Yang’s BBQ with good ratings. They were delivering food. On a whim, I ordered it. I ordered a barbecue takeaway back to the hotel, I did it when I thought of it, and decided to order a barbecue takeaway.

Walking from the Changwang side of the South Gate to the hotel, walking along the banks of the Nanming River, the cool breeze is blowing, the "cool Guiyang" is indeed well-deserved, and the temperature is just right; the lights of Jiaxiu Tower have been turned on, and it is beautiful with the moonlight. Jiaxiu Tower is built on the Nanming River in the south of Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, based on a huge stone in the river. It was first built in the Ming Dynasty, the back building was destroyed and rebuilt, and it was renamed "Laifeng Pavilion". In the Qing Dynasty, Jiaxiu Tower was rebuilt many times and its original name was restored. The existing building was rebuilt in the first year of Xuantong (1909).

Not long after returning to the hotel, the barbecue was delivered. The family of three sat in the living room of the suite, eating barbecue, eating duck necks, and drinking pineapple beer while watching TV. It was really comfortable.

On the 15th day (2020.8.5, Wednesday), enjoy Guiyang and bid farewell to Guizhou

There is no special arrangement today, just a rest before going home. We woke up naturally after sleeping. It was almost 11 o'clock when we got up and set off. We directly saved breakfast and left our luggage at the hotel. I haven’t tasted the famous Guiyang snack Siwa, so I found a chain brand Silian Hongtang Siwa, which is located on the B1 floor of Block A of Lixing Famous Store. On the way to the restaurant, I passed Jiaxiu Square. In the square, many local elderly people were exercising. Some were whipping tops, some were throwing balls, and some were punching. It was very lively.

When we arrived at Silianhong Tangsi dolls, we hadn’t started welcoming guests yet. I saw that there are fresh Hema here, and there are super species in Xiamen, and Hema hasn’t settled down yet. The pictures are fresh, so let’s go for a walk first. By the way, I bought a Zhou Hei Ya, and two with Qi Ma. I took a sharp bite. At noon, I ordered the signature Silian Red Soup Doll, Rose Brown Sugar Ice Powder, and Silian Baked Brain Egg Fried Potato Cake. The overall feeling is not very amazing, but it is quite satisfactory. After lunch, stroll around Jiaxiu Tower. During the day, Jiaxiu Tower is open, but Jiaxiu Tower is full of reservations, so no chance to enter; stroll to the nearby Cuiwei Garden, which was built in the Ming Dynasty and is still well preserved, with courtyard pavilions Scattered, it is a unique group of buildings

Since Qi’s mother was going to have a remote meeting at work in the afternoon, she decided to find a drink shop to rest. On an online platform, she found a tea shop with good reviews on the Internet—Bawang Tea Ji. Their name for the drink is very old-fashioned. , we ordered Boya Juexian (jasmine snow buds), Guifulanxiang (osmanthus oolong), Ganru Yimo (Yunnan small green orange), all three are good, especially Guifulanxiang, which I personally think is the best It's delicious. I like their tea very much. It's very comfortable to drink. I highly recommend it. While drinking tea and chatting, playing poker, when Qi's mother arrived at the meeting, Qi and I took the flight to a nearby supermarket to buy some special souvenirs.

Maybe I didn’t eat much at noon, after 16 o’clock, it was a little bit, I missed yesterday’s Changwang noodles, came to Nanmenkou Changwang noodles again, ordered three bowls of noodles, a total of 41 yuan, I didn’t order spicy ones this time, and found that it was sincere It was delicious without being spicy. On the way back to the hotel, I passed Yibei Town recommended by my colleagues. It is a local tea drink in Guiyang. I bought a cup of jasmine and white peach to try, and the total cost was 32 yuan.

Pass by Jiaxiu Tower again around 17:00. At this time, the Nanming River can reflect the blue sky, white clouds, green trees and Jiaxiu Tower. It’s very beautiful. It’s already past 17:00 when we returned to Guiyang Shuiyuntian Hotel. After collecting our luggage, we took a taxi to the airport. , the plane took off on time at 19:55 in the evening, the beautiful and colorful Guizhou, goodbye, or the old saying - we will come again!

epilogue

In the special year of 2020, the sudden epidemic has seriously affected our lives. We are very fortunate that we have a strong motherland and a united and strong Chinese nation, so that we can have the opportunity to go out and experience the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
