From June 30 to July 9, 2018, several of our old classmates in their 60s met for a free trip to see the beautiful Guizhou. After checking information on the Internet, making strategies, and booking train tickets, we set off from Hunan, Jiangsu, and Guangzhou respectively, and met in Guiyang. We visited Qingyan Ancient Town, Qianling Mountain Park, Huangguoshu Waterfall, Libo Daqikong, Xiaoqikong, Basha Miao Village, Zhaoxing Dong Village, Zhenyuan Ancient City, Wuyang River, Qianhu Miao Village, a total of ten scenic spots, ten days round trip. Had a great time.
journey:
D1: Starting from their respective homes, take the train to Guiyang. In the evening, all the staff arrived and checked into the Pai Hotel located at Guiyang Railway Station;
D2: Visit Qingyan Ancient Town and Qianling Mountain Park;
D3: Huangguoshu Waterfall;
D4: Libo Big Seven Holes;
D5: Libo Xiaoqikong;
D6: Basha Miao Village, in the afternoon to Dong Village;
D7: Dong village, Zhenyuan ancient city in the afternoon;
D8: Wuyang River, Qianhu Miao Village;
D9: Qianhu Miao Village, arrive in Kaili in the afternoon;
D10: Take the high-speed train from Kaili to return home.
cost:
1. Large transportation: The round-trip costs of transportation from Guangzhou, Hunan, and Jiangsu are different. The general situation is: the round-trip between Guangzhou and Hunan high-speed rail is about 500 to 600 yuan, and Jiangsu is far away, nearly 1,500 yuan. .
2. Train and car transportation fees in Guizhou: about 80 yuan per capita. Because the scenic spots are far apart and the traffic is not too convenient, most of us charter a car, and the entire charter fee is 710 yuan per person.
3. The transportation fee in the scenic spot is 160 yuan per person. The gates of each scenic spot are far away from the scenic spot, and you usually have to take a scenic spot car to get there. Some scenic spots are also very large and scattered, and you also need to take a traffic car. Because I lived in a B&B in Dongzhai and Miaozhai, the boss picked me up and down, and these two places saved the transportation fee of the scenic spot.
4. Tickets. Because we are all over 60 years old, this year Guizhou over 60 years old is free of charge, so this fee is saved.
5. Including accommodation, meals, etc., the total cost of students in Hunan is about 2,500 yuan, and that of Jiangsu is twice as expensive, a little more than 3,000 yuan.
For this happy trip to Guizhou, first of all, I would like to thank the netizens for their real travel notes and strategies, which provided a lot of accurate information for our trip, and also thank the simple, kind and enthusiastic local people for giving us a lot of help. Writing this travel note is just to pay tribute to those netizens who write travel notes seriously and truthfully, and to provide real reference for later friends. Maybe the pictures and words are not beautiful enough, but they must be real.
D1: On the first day, gather in Guiyang and stay at the Pai Hotel next to the railway station. This hotel is very close to the train station (old station), you can see it as soon as you get out of the station, and you will arrive at the square. The hotel is very clean and the facilities are okay, but there is no place to hang the clothes after washing. Because it is very convenient to go to Huangguoshu Waterfall and Libo from Guiyang Railway Station by train station, we stayed here for three nights.
D2: On the second day, it was said on the Internet that Huangguoshu Waterfall was very crowded on weekends, so we chose this day to play in Guiyang. In the morning, take bus 203 at the entrance of the hotel to Qingyan Ancient Town directly. The drive takes about an hour. This train goes from the railway station to Qingyan Ancient Town. Except for getting a seat at the train station and getting on the train, there will be no seats on the way. This is also the convenience of staying close to Pai Hotel.
Although Qingyan Ancient Town is an ancient town of Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is already very commercialized. Some of the houses still retain the style of bluestone walls, and there are a lot of food for sale. Some snacks seem to be only available in this town.
There are also straw sandals, and I don’t know if anyone has bought them.
There is a small stage on the street, where Nuo opera is being sung.
It's a black face,
This one in red has a green face.
There are many snacks, so we will have lunch here. I forgot the homework I did before, and I was tired from walking, so I just found a store and went in. The store claims to be rated as one of the top ten excellent stores, and it has all kinds of special snacks. Pig's trotters are sold all over the town. We felt that it would be a pity not to come to Qingyan if we didn't eat pig's trotters. We sat upstairs and didn't go down to look at it, but the trotters that came up looked like this
The taste is also very average, it doesn't look like it was made that day. It seems that, as netizens said, we should be optimistic about the name and cut. After dinner, we took the bus to Qianling Mountain Park. This park is in the center of Guiyang. It is relatively large and has a good view. It is also because of monkeys.
It was the weekend, and there were many people in the park, including opera singers and dancers. We walked up the tunnel to the top of the mountain, visited the lake, and then went down the mountain to see the monkeys. Monkeys are raised free-range and are not afraid of people. Because of the warning, more than 3,000 monkeys have committed crimes here, so they dare not approach. The tourists kept giving the monkeys something to eat, and the monkeys had a good life.
After coming out of Qianlingshan Park, it was already late, so I took a bus at the park entrance and went straight back to the hotel.
D3, the third day, because Huangguoshu Waterfall is closer to Guiyang, one day is enough to go back and forth. It is inconvenient to take a bus near Guiyang Station, and the bus also takes 2 hours, so we decided to take the train to Anshun, and then transfer to Huangguoshu Waterfall. The train at 6:00 a.m. arrived in Anshun in just over an hour. When we left the station, we chartered a car and went directly to Huangguoshu Scenic Area. If you don't charter a car, you have to take a bus or taxi at the train station, and take the through train to the scenic spot, and the through train to the scenic spot costs 35 yuan. We chartered a car for 30 yuan per person, which is more convenient. There are many chartered car services when leaving the station. We found a car chartered by a travel company with a storefront.
Huangguoshu Waterfall is a large scenic spot, which has three scenic spots: Steep Pond, Tianxing Bridge, and Great Waterfall. The three scenic spots are far apart and need to be traveled by car. Therefore, in addition to the 180 yuan ticket, you also need to buy a transportation ticket of 50 yuan per person. Although we are exempt from tickets, we still have to buy traffic tickets. There is also a large escalator to see the Great Falls, which costs 30 yuan for a one-way trip and 50 yuan for a round trip. We bought it without hesitation.
It takes at least six or seven hours to walk around the three scenic spots of Huangguoshu Waterfall, and we spent eight or nine hours playing. Huangguoshu Waterfall is close to Guiyang, and the transportation is convenient. As long as you are not in a hurry, you can go to see it by yourself. The quality of the same day is much higher than that of the group.
Needless to say, the beauty of Huangguoshu Waterfall, but there are indeed many people. Because of the diversion, we started to watch from Tianxing Bridge. As soon as I entered, I got together with the tour group. The road was narrow and crowded, and it was difficult to take a picture. It is better to go to the latter stage and leave the tour group.
From the Tianxing Bridge, we entered the Great Waterfall, which is the legendary largest waterfall in Asia. We went directly down the escalator, walked up the mountain road layer by layer, and enjoyed the magnificence of the waterfall layer by layer! From a distance, you can see the water mist, and the sound is deafening.
The height of Huangguoshu Waterfall is 77.8 meters. It gradually goes up along the mountain road, which is equivalent to looking from the bottom of the waterfall. The scenery on each floor is different. But it will splash you all over the body if you are far away.
This is the view from the upper level of the Great Falls. The splashing water droplets are like rain, making it difficult to approach.
Flying beads and splashing jade, the momentum is magnificent, and the sound is loud.
Come out from the big waterfall to steep pond. In fact, this steep slope pond is the upstream of the Great Falls. The waterfall in Doupotang is not that big, the water surface is relatively wide, and there is a lot of water storage.
Many people just take a photo here and return. The tour group only spends half an hour to an hour, but if you don’t catch up with the time, you can see different scenery from the bridge, and you can also walk to Huangguoshu At the top of the waterfall, see how the waterfall flows down.
An hour is not enough just to cross this bridge. Because this is the filming location of Tongtianhe in Journey to the West.
The top of the waterfall is also beautiful.
We played in the scenic area for eight or nine hours, and we still took a chartered car back to the train station, and then took the train back to Guiyang.
D4: The goal of the fourth day is to go to Libo Xiaoqikong. I took the train from Guiyang to Mawei at 5 o'clock in the morning, and it took nearly 4 and a half hours. Because it is more convenient from Mawei to Xiaoqikong, I didn't go to Libo County. We also booked Jiacheng Inn in Xiaoqikong. When I booked the accommodation that night, I had to call the inn because I made a mistake about the time and it was past the online modification time. As a result, I got to know the enthusiastic innkeeper. The owner's surname is Meng, Buyi nationality, and he is very kind. He not only agreed to solve my problem, but also asked about our itinerary carefully, and proposed to charter a car for us to pick us up at the train station. . This solves the trouble of transferring from Mawei to Xiaoqikong to CMB after getting off the train.
The train arrived more than ten minutes earlier, and as soon as I contacted the driver, he just arrived earlier. So we got into the car as soon as we got out of the station. The young man’s surname is He, and he is also from the Buyi tribe. He is very simple and enthusiastic. He introduced that we passed a market, and today is the market day. We can stop at the market and let us have a look at the market. I thought there were many agricultural products in the market, but now the rural market has more industrial daily necessities. But we still bought wild peppercorns, 1.5 yuan per catty tomatoes, home-woven steamed cloth, etc.
Life in the mountains is richer than we imagined.
Boss Xiaomeng's "Libo Jiacheng Farmhouse" (Tel: 18798244512) is also much better than we imagined. The inn is located in the small town of Mengliu, only 200 meters away from the east gate of the Big and Small Seven Holes. This small town is dominated by the Buyi people. They used to live in Xiaoqikong. Now they have moved out of the scenic spot and built a new town at the gate. The environment is beautiful. Although it is the seat of the Yao nationality township government, the people in this small town are mainly Buyi people. The folk customs are very simple, and the food is also well prepared.
The room in Jiacheng Inn is relatively large, with complete facilities, clean and hygienic, very good.
The town is also beautiful, and the night view is very good.
Because it was close to noon when we arrived in the town. We decided to go to Daqikong first after a bit of trimming, and then go to Xiaoqikong tomorrow. Some people say that the small hole is more beautiful than the big hole, and if you go to the small hole, you don’t have to go to the big hole. This statement is really completely wrong! The small seven holes are indeed larger than the big seven holes, but the scenery of the big and small seven holes is different and beautiful! If there is enough time, you should still look at all seven holes, big and small. It's just that the big seven holes can be used for half a day, and the small seven holes really need a full day of fun.
The big and small seven holes are entered through the same gate, and the roads are divided in the gate. If you take the scenic spot traffic car to the left, you will go to the small seven hole, and if you go to the right, you will go to the big seven hole. You can also take a boat at the big seven hole. In fact, this boat is really unnecessary , can not sit very far. Tour groups usually only go to Tianshengqiao and then return. In fact, the scenery inside is more beautiful, the people inside are better, and the air is particularly good.

Playing the big seven holes for a long time, I had a lot of fun. exist
