In July of this year, I ushered in my long-awaited high-temperature vacation. I originally planned to drive to northern Xinjiang by myself. I originally selected the Altay Small Ring Road and the Yili and Bozhou Small Ring Roads. However, my big Xinjiang is so big, and my high-temperature vacation is only available. In a week, it would take at least 10 days to visit these two loops. As a last resort, I set my sights on Guizhou, the southwest of the motherland. Facts have proved that my choice was really right, far exceeding expectations, and it was a worthwhile trip. Below, I will sort out my itinerary for these six days, and share the beautiful scenery along the way, hoping to bring a little help.
In fact, I went to Guizhou once in 2010. Because I was on a business trip, I just went to Huangguoshu, Anshun by the way. But this free travel has refreshed my understanding of Guizhou. Guizhou attaches great importance to and invests in tourism. And the changes over the years are impressive. The order of travel is very formal, the traffic is unexpectedly developed, and tickets to various attractions can be booked online. It is extremely convenient for small partners who travel independently. Illegal cars and black cars have been completely banned. The sanitation conditions in the scenic area are well maintained, the toilets are also very clean, and the tourist experience is very good. It can really be said that it has created a benchmark civilized scenic spot.

D1:
Arrived in Guiyang at 9:00 in the morning, because I booked a hotel in Guiyang in advance. I studied on the Internet before and said that there are many hotels in Huaguoyuan, many businesses, and lively. However, considering the traffic congestion and noise, I was afraid that it would affect my rest and schedule, so I booked the hotel. It is near Wenchang Pavilion of Jiaxiu Tower, and there are also delicacies here. It takes 5 minutes to walk to Old Kaili Sour Soup Fish (Xiangfu Store). The fish here is really authentic and delicious.
After checking into the hotel at 10 o'clock in the morning and taking a short rest, head to Old Kaili Sour Soup Fish Province (Xiangfu Branch) to start the first gourmet experience. About an hour after I finished eating (I ordered a Dong fish weighing more than two catties, some side dishes and ice powder).
After dinner, I went out and took a taxi to Qianlingshan Park. Later, I found out that the ticket for such a large scenic spot is very cheap, only five yuan. You can play with macaques, row boats, zoo, bird garden, giant panda house, and Hongfu Temple. (Go in and burn incense), and come out after about three hours of playing.
After the end of Qianling Mountain Park, I headed straight to Erqi Food Street. I was surprised when I entered. Such a long street is full of Guizhou cuisine, such as tofu balls, potato cakes, ice noodles, beef noodles, Qingyan trotters, and Bijie hotpot. . . . . It was really dazzled. I ordered one by one and tasted it. The last thing called Zheergen (Houttuynia cordata) overwhelmed my sense of taste. It is said that this plant with a strong smell of fish and shrimp is the most popular food of Guizhou people. Love, most of them are in the dipping sauce. My God, I thought the shrimp in the tofu balls I ate were undercooked when I chewed them at the first bite. I realized it later. The power of the ear root is so powerful, no wonder the boss confirmed it with me. Do you want to fold the roots of the ears again? . . . Later, I will emphasize not to. . . . When it comes to dipping sauces, all Guizhou people love dipping sauces. Most of them are chili peppers. They are all chili noodles mixed by themselves. Different shops have slightly different tastes. This is really delicious.
After eating enough on Erqi Street, I went straight to Jiaxiu Tower. When I first arrived at Jiaxiu Tower, because it was night and the lights were turned on, wow, it really looked great. Although the building is not big, it is not as domineering as Xi’an Bell Tower, but it is a literati inside. The kind of elegance and beauty that I love really lives up to its name. Coupled with the background of the night view of the Nanming River, it is really beautiful.
It was almost ten o'clock after watching Jiaxiu Tower, so I walked back to the hotel to rest
D2:
Early the next morning, I booked the high-speed train to Anshun at 7:46, so I set off early. I took a taxi at the entrance of the hotel and went straight to Guiyang North Station. The reason for the early departure was that I had to go back to Guiyang at night and wanted to use the whole day Savor Huangguoshu carefully.
After the high-speed rail arrived at Anshun West Station, I walked to Anshun Passenger Station (3-5 minutes, follow the signs and walk very, very close), where I bought a high-speed rail ticket back to Guiyang at 8:00 p.m. And I bought a round-trip ticket from Anshun to Huangguoshu at the passenger station (the last bus from Huangguoshu to Anshun West High-speed Railway Station is at 7:30 in the evening).
It was past ten o'clock when I arrived at the Huangguoshu Visitor Center (it is recommended to start early), and I scanned the QR code to book tickets, because the distance between the Great Falls, Tianxing Bridge and Doupo Pond is very far, and the time is limited, so I bought a sightseeing bus ticket (50 yuan), PS: Remember to buy a raincoat for 2 yuan at the entrance of the scenic spot, there will be villagers in the scenic spot selling it very expensive)
In July, there are many people in the scenic spot, and at least 20,000 to 30,000 tourists are accepted every day. In order to travel on a staggered peak, I first went to the core scenic spot Huangguoshu Waterfall, then to Tianxing Bridge, and finally to Doupotang (most people go to Doupotang first and then Go to Tianxing Bridge, and finally to the Great Falls). Facts have proved that my decision is correct. Entering the scenic area, first there is a potted garden view, you can pass by and go straight to the waterfall. The scenery seen from several viewing platforms of Huangguoshu Waterfall is different. It is recommended to experience each waterfall viewing platform (actually along the route) , everyone can go there), because there are too many people in Shuilian Cave, it took more than an hour to line up to enter the cave, and I stayed in the cave for less than five minutes. Because I was tired from queuing, I took the escalator to the exit (30 yuan), and I was delayed for an hour because of queuing to enter the water curtain cave, and finally stayed for a total of 3 hours.
After that, we lined up to take the sightseeing bus to Tianxing Bridge and Doupo Pond. The play time was 2.5 hours and 1.5 hours respectively. The Tianxing Bridge is quite big, and the beautiful banyan tree, the bridge on the bridge, the silver pendant waterfall, and the Tianxing Cave are all very interesting and spectacular.
After punching in the three scenic spots, I went all the way back to Guiyang Hotel (I experienced minced meat powder along the way, and I personally feel that the taste is great).
D3:
Due to the relatively heavy activity in the first two days, I woke up naturally in the morning on the third day. After getting up, I went to Xindaxin to eat Guiyang's special "doumi hot pot". The taste is really good.
After dinner, take a taxi (35 yuan) to Longdongbao Bus Station and take the shuttle bus to Libo at 2:10 in the afternoon (100 yuan, it is recommended to book tickets online in advance)
After 4 hours of driving, I finally arrived at Libo Bus Station. I walked to the hotel I booked in advance (Jinliyuan Hotel), settled my luggage, and after a short rest, I went straight to Libo Food Street and experienced a Libo's specialty, grilled fish with beans and rice (recommend "reserve first-hand grilled fish"), and then walk to the scenic spot of Zhangjiang River at night. I originally wanted to see the night view of Libo, but the door was not opened. . . .
Afterwards, I walked a hundred meters along the river and took a taxi to the ancient city of Libo. After all, it was still the routine of the ancient city, with food and handicrafts, but there was a small stage with performances on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It is said to be beautiful. . .
Return to hotel for rest
D4:
Get up early in the morning and take the No. 11 bus (7 yuan) at the gate of Libo Bus Station to Xiaoqikong
Xiaoqikong should be said to be the climax of this trip to Guizhou, because the scenic spots inside are really beautiful and really shocking.
As I said before, I first took a sightseeing bus to Ximen, followed Wolongtan to play in the direction of Xiaoqikong, and started a wonderful itinerary for a day. This kind of itinerary is also gradually stimulating my nerves of beauty, and I want to feel Xiaoqi step by step. Hole beauty.
The most impressive thing about Wolongtan is the rippling blue waves, quiet and beautiful, and the scenery is awesome. I never thought that this was the first stop. Of course, the landscapes I saw later were almost all based on such scenery, so I gradually got used to it.
I drifted from Wolongtan to Yuanyanghu Station. It was very exciting and exciting along the way. The water was beautiful, and I walked on the waves. It was interesting among the mountains and rivers.
Because I took a boat in Wolongtan, I didn’t go boating at Yuanyang Lake. I walked around the lake and went to the next stop: Tianzhong Cave (the sun rained suddenly on the way, and the rain was quite heavy. It is recommended to bring a raincoat or Umbrella)
Tianzhong Cave charges 8 yuan separately, but it is still worth visiting inside. The naturally formed karst cave is very huge and spectacular.
Afterwards, we went to the water forest. What is amazing here is that the trees growing out of the crevices in the river are densely packed into forests. Tourists play in the river and walk in the forest, which is very interesting.
68 Falls Waterfall is a total of 68 small waterfalls along the way from upstream to downstream. It is said to be the largest waterfall group in the world. The occasional rainbow adorns the small waterfalls beautifully.
There is also the well-known Laya Waterfall, which hangs like strands of beautiful ribbons on the side of the mountain, which is very beautiful.
Finally, there is the protagonist Xiaoqikong. In other words, the natural landscapes in the upper reaches are all grand and sporty, but when you arrive at Xiaoqikong, you will be greeted by the tranquility and peace of the ancient style, and there is a sense of tranquility that seems to be drawn from the painting. The beauty that came out of the movie, said she is the protagonist here, she is very quiet, not at all delicate and artificial, said she is ordinary, and the history she carries is indeed heavy. Through it, it seems that you can still hear the cowbell of the ancient tea ceremony.
After finishing the small seven holes, go straight to the big seven holes. Daqikong mainly takes virgin forests, karst caves and canyon rivers as its landscape. Although it is not as famous as Xiaoqikong, the scenery is not inferior to Xiaoqikong. The deeper and deeper you go along the road, the more amazing the scenery is. The change of water color in different stages makes people secretly amazed.
After the tour, go out of the scenic spot and take No. 11, return to Libo Hotel, and experience another kind of Guizhou cuisine in Libo that night. The Guizhou barbecue "Gourmet Street Lubing BBQ" is very good, remember to order a glass of bayberry juice.
D5:
On the fifth day, we arranged the itinerary in the Guizhou tourist attraction with rich regional characteristics - Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang
At 8 o'clock in the morning, I took the shuttle bus from Libo directly to Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, and started the nearly four-hour drive.
Arrive at Miao Village at twelve o'clock, enter the scenic area, the first impression, although there is basically no shadow of the traditional Miao Village here, but from the headdresses and clothes of the grandmothers and sisters who pass by occasionally, I can feel a little bit of taste, along the street. It is Guizhou cuisine. There are some restaurants opened by locals across the snack street, and there will be singing and dancing performances.
After eating something at the snack street, I went to the Miao Village Museum and Square. There are welcome songs, dances and performances at fixed times every day, which are not to be missed. . There is also a long table banquet of Internet celebrities. . . .
Because I was in a hurry, I left after admiring the complete view on the viewing platform (it is still very good, overlooking the mountains, full of Miaojia wooden buildings, blue tiles and redwoods, patchwork, very spectacular), It is said that the night view of Miao Village is very beautiful at night (I bought a Miao Village night view refrigerator magnet, haha, I just saw it).
At 6:00 p.m., I got on the shuttle bus to Kaili, because the distance between Kaili Bus Station and Kaili South Station is quite far, so I carpooled there, 15 for one person (remember to find a carpool partner in advance)
Finally, at eight o'clock, I took the high-speed train to Guiyang, returned to Guiyang, and rested in a hotel (IU) in Huaxi District.
D6:
The itinerary on the last day is the simplest. I set off at nine in the morning and went to Qingyan Ancient Town. I wanted to come to Guizhou. At least I had to experience one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou. I was going to Zhenyuan Ancient Town, but the distance is still a problem. ( Haha, Fanjingshan also gave up like this)
To be honest, Qingyan Ancient Town is still an ancient town routine, and it is all eaten, but if you want to take pictures, it is recommended to go to the back street. It feels very good. I climbed a short section of the Great Wall and was very tired. I came down and ate Qingyan pig’s trotters and walked along the main street. After strolling around, I went out (the street pattern is highly repeated with the ancient towns in other places), and since I was full, of course I had to go. . . (Eat a pig's trotter, the taste is still very good)
It's the last day, I have to go to the Internet celebrity restaurant to check in, go to Huaguoyuan Shopping Center "Silian" to eat silk dolls, caress my bulging belly, and have a full burp, perfect!
go home!
Unforgettable moments in the past few days have been emerging on the road, such beautiful mountains and beautiful water, I think I will come again.
