"The world is so big, I want to go out and have a look." ——Recently, a very popular resignation letter.
As for me, I just happened to be in the gap period of changing jobs. Perhaps many people would have such thoughts——
I always feel that there is still a lot of time, and when I am free in the future, I will travel around the world slowly;
I always say that now is the initial stage of work, and when it stabilizes in the future, I will slowly travel around the world;
But when the career is stable, they want to get married and have children... When the children get married and start a business, when they are ready to leave, they find that they are already old.
So, let's take a walk-and-go trip.
Colorful Guizhou, refreshing Guizhou!
As for why the destination is Guizhou? More or less because of the opening of the Guizhou-Guangzhou high-speed railway, Guangzhou-Guiyang only takes about 5 and a half hours, or even 4 hours, and before the end of April 2019, with the high-speed railway ticket, Guizhou tickets are 30% off. Of course, the more important thing is the attraction of Guizhou itself——
Perhaps, God overturned the palette to create this colorful Guizhou. The Huangguoshu Waterfall flows straight down, flashing a touch of silver in the majestic momentum; Miao Village and the Dong Village stand quietly, and a touch of blue ash has been deposited in the passage of time.
If you are also tired of the feasting and feasting of the city, you might as well come here, gently open the window, and see the beauty of this paradise on earth
About the itinerary:
Before I set off, I started looking for strategies on the Internet, and planned the itinerary myself. I listed the scenic spots in Guizhou collected from the Internet in a notebook: Huangguoshu Waterfall, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, Libo Xiaoqikong, Zhenyuan Ancient City, Vatican Jingshan... so many places to go, how to choose? ! ! ! Later, I found a local self-guided tour guide "Xiaoying" introduced by a friend in Guizhou, so I added her WeChat. After consultation, the whole process was arranged according to our requirements, and we can just play. like
Huangguoshu Waterfall
There is also a little-known story why Xijiang produces beautiful women. It turns out that Xijiang is composed of four administrative villages, and the four villages do not marry each other. The village stipulates that daughters must marry outsiders, and daughters-in-law must be taken from other places. Otherwise, both men and women will be punished by the family. The ancestors of Miao people understood the principle of prenatal and postnatal care more than 2,000 years ago. From this perspective, the Miao people are also a smart and beautiful ethnic minority. The so-called "one side of the water and soil nurtures one side of the people"...
According to the local people, for every Miao girl who is about to marry, her parents must prepare a complete set of costumes. Strictly speaking, the weight of the silver ornaments that go with the costumes can be up to 6 kilograms!
The legendary Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is the largest gathering place of Miao Village in China.
Terraced fields, green hills, Amei, Diaojiaolou... Walking on the cobbled mountain road, you can feel the temperature of the entire Xijiang quietly.
Along the way, the old Miao people are making handmade fabrics, expressing respect for the inheritance of national culture in the most traditional way.
Miao architecture, costumes, silver ornaments, language, food, and traditional customs are not only typical, but also well preserved.
The Miao people in Xijiang used to wear long robes and turbans, all of which were black in color, so they were called "black Miao" or "long skirt Miao".
Drunken beauty of Xijiang, drinking is more important than eating
Since entering the gate of Xijiang, one has to face an important thing: that is wine.
If you are an alcoholic, coming to Xijiang is like coming to heaven; if you are not strong enough to drink, you may fall in love with drinking when you leave Xijiang.
Gate wine:
Banmen wine is an important custom of the Miao villages in Qiandongnan, Guizhou, and a unique way of welcoming guests in Miao villages.
Buffalo horns hold wine, 12 wines blocking the way. Whenever the guests come, the Miao people, men, women and children will put sweet rice wine along the way to welcome the guests at the gate of the village. , or you have to drink it up!
This formation is really scary
independent women
In the Miao nationality, women do the toasting, men are in charge of cooking, and women are in charge of entertaining guests!
Miao Village's unique after-dinner fruit~ It's a bit like a white radish grafted with an apple!
Original ecological intangible cultural heritage
Xijiang Miao Village is a natural open-air museum, where the original ecological culture of the Miao people is preserved.
In addition to the food and wine culture introduced earlier, there are many folk symbols with a long history!
A street that showcases the Miao culture. There are ancient silver jewelry workshops, embroidery workshops, Guzangtoujia, Huolutoujia, peasant painters, silver jewelry workshops, breweries, batik workshops, etc....... also A good place to learn about and experience Miao culture!
Depart early in the morning, the first scenic spot today is Mount Fanjing
Mount Fanjing is the highest mountain in the southwest section of the Wuling Mountains, exposing the "texture" of the greenstone series of the Middle and Late Proterozoic. For hundreds of millions of years, the sea has changed, and it has experienced countless geological and ecological catastrophes. So far, it has sheltered more than 3,000 kinds of plants, thousands of animals, more than 200 kinds of birds, and fungi. There are also many relict creatures that survive here alone, and the most well-known one is the Guizhou golden monkey unique to Fanjing Mountain!
After breakfast, we drove to the entrance of the scenic spot.
The weather down the mountain was fine, giving us hope for good weather up the mountain.
After entering the gate of the scenic spot, you need to take a sightseeing car to the lower station of the cableway. Because the roads are all mountainous and relatively narrow, there are minibuses in the scenic spot, and private cars are not allowed to enter.
A cable car can accommodate up to eight people. As the cableway slowly ascends, passing through layers of clouds and mists, the scenery under your feet is looming, and the clouds and mists are lingering in front of you, as if you are in a fairyland, which is so beautiful that it is also a rare experience.
After passing through the clouds and mists, there was another clear sky in front of me. In the cable car, you can see the red cloud and Jinding in the distance, and you can also vaguely see the bridge connecting the two temples on the top of the mountain. Fortunately, I recorded it with a camera, but it was only for a moment. When my friend took out the camera, this magical mountain was covered by clouds and fog again.
In less than ten minutes, you will walk to a viewing platform, and you can see the cable car down the mountain. There are continuous mountains and misty clouds in front of you, which is really spectacular.
I used a telephoto to take a picture of the plank road on the Red Cloud Golden Summit, winding and circling among the mountains, and my legs were already weak just looking at it like this. In fact, this is just the plank road going down the mountain, and the plank road on the mountain is even more thrilling.
Continue to go up, and you will arrive at Cheng'en Temple, which is the main temple of Maitreya Dojo in Fanjing Mountain. The original name of the temple is Tongming Hall, which is named after the Maitreya Bodhisattva whose body is bright. Later destroyed in war. In the 46th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Shenzong changed its name to Baoen Temple when it was built, and in the early Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was renamed Chengen Temple.
There is a square next to Cheng'en Temple. After taking a rest here, I chose to continue climbing. Because it comes from the downhill plank road, there are two roads here, one is to go to Hongyun Jinding, and the other is to go to Mushroom Stone and Old Jinding. If you follow the plank road up the mountain, it will be a line.
On the way to Hongyun Jinding, the iron chains are covered with safety locks and prayer cards. I always thought that the way up the mountain was like this, but it turned out to be more and more exciting later.
The clouds and fog are getting bigger and bigger, and the mountain road built along the cliffs can't see the end in the clouds and fog. Because it is on the windward slope, our group was messed up in the wind.
We could not see the end of the straight mountain road, we used our hands and feet to climb up slowly step by step.
Looking back at the road we have traveled, if it is sunny, it should be more thrilling. After all, it is now covered by clouds and fog, and the foot of the mountain cannot be seen.
The upper part of Hongyun Jinding is divided into two, which divides the mountain into two parts, forming such a scene of a line of sky.
Arriving at Hongyun Jinding, there is a fog in front of you. If the weather is good, you can also see the famous Mushroom Stone on the opposite side.
We went down the mountain from the other side of the sky. This side belongs to the leeward slope. The few of us were shivering from the cold on the mountain road. When we went down the mountain and walked this side, we felt that the temperature was just right. In fact, going down the mountain is equally thrilling, but it is much easier than going up the mountain.
On the other side of Eagle Rock are thousands of volumes of scriptures. According to legend, Tang Monk Xuanzang made a special trip to Fanjing Mountain to pay homage to the Maitreya Buddha when he returned from learning scriptures from the West. Because the white dragon horse accidentally stumbled and left a stack of scriptures behind, the scriptures took root on the ground, creating such a landscape. I have to lament the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
The mountain road to Laojinding is also thrilling, and you still have to use the chains next to you to go up and down the mountain. Even if it's a little timid, I still really like this experience.
After coming down from the old Jinding, you will arrive at the famous Mushroom Stone, which looks like a mushroom. About ten meters high, it is slim and graceful. It seems that it will fall at the touch of a touch, but in fact it remains motionless.
Zhenyuan Ancient City
The ancient town is far away. Since King Qin Zhao established the county 30 years ago, it has a history of more than 2,280 years, of which more than 1,300 years have been the seat of government, roads, and special agencies. In 1986, it was approved by the State Council as a famous historical and cultural city in China. It belongs to Qiandongnan Prefecture and is located in Wuling Mountain in the east of Guizhou Province. The pattern of the ancient city can be summarized by one river, two streets, and three bridges. The beautiful Wuyang River passes through the city in an "S" shape, creating Zhenyuan's unique "nine mountains and one water, one water and two cities". The reputation of "China's largest Tai Chi City" has also brought picturesque landscapes to Zhenyuan.

Shangwuyang River Scenic Area
Wuyang River System National Scenic Area, the scenic spot is tens of kilometers west of the county seat, gathering the most beautiful natural scenery in the entire Wuyang River Basin.
Qinglong Cave
Zhenyuan Ancient City
Zhenyuan Shiping Mountain
Then I climbed Shiping Mountain at 17:20. The people who collected the tickets when climbing the mountain got off work, and no one collected the tickets. On Shiping Mountain, you can overlook the entire ancient town and the S-shaped Wuyang River passing through the ancient city.
After going down the mountain, walk through the ancient alleys of the ancient city. The ancient alleys in Zhenyuan, there are alleys in the alleys, there are springs in the alleys, there are wells in the alleys, there are ditches under the alleys, the alleys face the wharf, and the alleys lead to post roads. It is a scene of life in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The alleys follow the mountains and towns of Yuangu Town to climb up hills and turn around.
Drunken rivers and lakes local characteristics
After returning, take a short rest, take pictures of the night scene, and then go to the very popular drunken rivers and lakes for dinner.
Return to Guiyang, after breakfast at the hotel in the morning, it is time to return to Guiyang.
When I was very young, my favorite ride in Chengdu was the double bus, but unfortunately all the double buses in Chengdu have been delisted in recent years. Chongqing's unique road conditions also made it impossible to drive a double bus, so I was very excited when I arrived in a city with a double bus~~~~
Sit decisively in the front row on the second floor, look at the urban construction of Guiyang, and recall the feeling of riding a double bus when I was a child, and sigh at the same time, a city with a double bus is comfortable~~
I feel that the painting of Guiyang taxi is very nice.
This trip to Guizhou is over. This time the main tour is in the southeast of Guizhou. In the future, it’s time to visit the southeast of Guizhou. Well, I have traveled all over the land and China. Guizhou is beautiful and colorful. The refreshing Guizhou is worthy of this advertisement. , It's really good here, and I will come again.
