I took my baby on a summer vacation in August, and I still have to go out for a walk in the current epidemic situation. Thinking of my trip to Guizhou last year, I still have more fun, and I will go to Guizhou for the second time. There are still three generations of people, young and old, this time they are in the west, and Guiyang is in and out. Take the drone to weed the Wanfeng Forest.
Our itinerary totaled 9 days and 8 nights, starting from Guiyang, going all the way through Bijie, Liupanshui, Qianxinan, Anshun, and finally returning to Guiyang, with a total journey of 1350 kilometers. Learning from last year's lessons this time, there is almost no mountain climbing trip, which is quite comfortable for the mother and the four-and-a-half-year-old girl. There are not many wading projects in Guizhou in the southwest, and the focus is on leisure.
Self-driving:
This time I chose a linear road, not far from a few points, about 2-3 hours by car, Guizhou has developed high-speed highways, bridges and tunnels are world-class projects, there is no traffic jam on the road, and the scenery along the way is infinitely beautiful, which is very suitable for self-driving.
Food:
The diet in Guizhou is mainly hot and sour. This time I ate the hotel with dry food throughout the whole process.
stay:
With a baby and a mother, they basically stay in well-known local hotels all the way. Except for Wanfenglin, which is a little more expensive, the hotels in the city are extremely cost-effective.
Tickets:
This time all the tickets were purchased smoothly, and well-known scenic spots can be bought online in advance, free for those over 60, and half price for adult tourists. I heard that I just heard that Huangguoshu is said to need to be robbed in advance (but I feel that compared to last year's Fanjingshan, it is not a big deal at all)
D1: Guiyang, Zhijin
The auspicious plane at noon arrived at Longdongbao on time. In the QR code draw at the airport, I hope to win Moutai, and KFC gets a free discount card. My wife and Guizhou are very destined.
Picking up the car was smooth, and I didn't miss Guiyang. I drove directly to Zhijin County in Bijie and stayed at Zhijin Hotel. It's shocking that there is such a restaurant in such a small place. The retro architecture, grand ostentation, affordable price, and good environment are so perfect.
The hotel is located in the local Pingyuan ancient city. The ancient city is basically newly built, and you can also play. The karst landform around the hotel is obvious, and there are small waterfalls. It is very good to take the baby to climb the hills and fly the drone. The hotel's hardware is top-notch, the waiters are basically local, the software is a little behind, and the restaurant is a bit overwhelmed during the weekend peak hours. Fortunately, the attitude is very good. Let us order food and deliver it to the room. The balcony of the room is really comfortable. You can eat and enjoy the scenery while listening to the sound of rain. The baby likes the big round rattan chair very much, and the Qiao jelly is very delicious.
D2: Zhijin Cave, King of Karst Caves, Liupanshui, Bijie
On the second day after arriving in Guizhou, I started the itinerary of scenic spots. The first stop was Zhijin Cave, and I drove away from the ancient city of Pingyuan. I arrived at the Zhijin Cave Scenic Spot not long after. , soon arrived at the entrance of the cave, the entrance of the cave is very low-key,
But here belongs to the World Geopark. Zhijin Cave is a multi-layered and multi-type karst cave with a wide space, with upper, middle and lower floors. The cave is full of stalagmites, stone pillars, stone buds, stone flags, etc. There are more than 40 kinds of accumulation forms of karst cave deposits, presenting a vast atmosphere and infinite scenery, which is definitely worth seeing. The lighting in the cave is natural, mainly showing the true colors of the cave.
As for my feeling, this cave is big, and it is a bit cold in the cave. You can wear a coat, but you will sweat. The tour trail in the cave is 4.5 kilometers long. The whole tour took nearly 3 hours. There are countless wonders in the cave. The cave consists of dozens It consists of two karst caves, with a drop of more than 100 meters. Exploring the cave gives you the feeling of climbing a mountain. The huge Zhijin Cave, it is said that the length of the explored route is more than ten kilometers.
After leaving the cave, you need to take a sightseeing car back to the entrance, it is really far away! The most online comments are that I have seen Zhijin Cave, and other caves are "slag". Worth a visit.
Leaving Zhijin Cave, drive to Liupanshui. Liupanshui is known as the cool city and a good place to escape the summer heat. Curious about the name of Liupanshui, it is the collective name of Liuzhi, Panzhou and Shuicheng.
First, I went to Shuicheng Ancient Town for a tour. It was a bit chaotic. It was basically commercial. The third-line construction museum was also off work. After visiting here, I went back to the hotel. Staying at the Sheraton Liupanshui is very close to the expressway, and it is more convenient to drive by yourself. The hotel has dinner directly, the taste is good. The hotel management still needs to be improved. The baby's foot actually scratched the glass in the children's playground. The hotel's attitude is still positive, and there is no danger.
When I arrived in Liupanshui, my mother received a text message that she had won the Moutai lottery with a QR code, but she had to go to the designated place in Guiyang to buy it the next day.
D3: Liupanshui of Guizhou Chive Ping
I have been going to Jiucaiping on the top of Guizhou. I checked Jiucaiping before, and there are few related guides. There are many Jiucaiping near Liupanshui. Dajiucaiping is a little farther away, with complete facilities and suitable for sightseeing. First go to the nearest Xiaojiucaiping, there are not many people on the road, and I saw all black sheep. Xiaojiucaiping is the highest peak in Guizhou. It belongs to Liupanshui and is 2,900 meters above sea level. When you drive up the mountain, there is actually a tourist center. After driving around the mountain, Gao De didn't use the navigation, only to find that he couldn't go up to the top of the mountain. He asked a nearby village to get a general idea.
I had to go back to my home. I went back to the tourist center the same way. Cars were not allowed to go up to the top of the mountain. It took more than an hour to hike up the mountain. Thinking that there is still less than 2 hours away from Dajiucaiping, I decided to give up going up the mountain and go directly to Dajiucaiping - Tiantian Huahai Scenic Area. All the way around the mountain road, the baby was motion sick.
At noon, we successfully arrived at Tiantian Huahai Scenic Area. Dajiucaiping belongs to the fifth highest peak in Guizhou, more than 2,700 meters. It is a lively scene here. There are everything for eating and shopping. Not far away is the beautiful scenery and greenery.
The cableway was struck by lightning for maintenance, so I had to buy a ticket and take a sightseeing car up the mountain. The sightseeing car is faster than the cableway, and the mountain road has 18 turns, which is more exciting. The station on the mountain needs to walk hundreds of steps to reach the top of the mountain, and the cableway can be reached directly. Mountain climbing on the plateau is still very tiring, and the large wild leeks on the top of the mountain are very beautiful. It is located in Xingfa Miao, Yi and Hui Township, Hezhang County, Bijie City. It is the largest wild leek flower belt in the world and the only wild leek flower protection area in the country.
The leek flowers here are purple and inedible. They are different from what we usually see. There is still about a week before the flowering period when we arrive. The leek flowers have not yet formed into pieces, but the environment is very comfortable. The top of the mountain here is more like a grassland. The plank road is very easy to walk, and there is also a shopping spot where you can buy hot pot skewers. The scenery is invincible, and the food prices are also very reasonable. The baby is also very happy playing with the bubble machine on the mountain. After eating well, he climbs to the highest peak, the 2,777-meter viewing platform, takes pictures, and flies the drone. The scenery is beautiful. My mother shouted that it is much better here than in the morning, but in fact, each has its own characteristics. The cableway has been repaired, and it is so convenient to go down the mountain and go directly to the cableway.
The return trip was relatively calm, all the way back to Liupanshui, still eating at the hotel, and resting well.
D4: The highest bridge in the world, Beipanjiang, the first bridge, Wumeng Prairie, Liupanshui, Xingyi, Southwest Guizhou
After waking up and leaving Liupanshui, today’s destination is Xingyi in Southwest Guizhou. The first stop on the road is the Beipanjiang Bridge that my mother was talking about last year. Now the bridge is called Beipanjiang No. 1 Bridge, formerly known as Nizhu River Bridge or Beipanjiang Bridge. It is a large bridge in China connecting Puli Township, Xuanwei City, Qujing City, Yunnan Province, and Duge Town, Shuicheng County, Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province. , which is part of the Hangrui Expressway. Walking along the path and following the navigation to the viewing platform, there is no one to manage, the scenery is invincible, and tourists come to take pictures from time to time. This bridge is the highest in the world. The bridge towers on the Guizhou side and the Yunnan side are 269 meters and 247 meters respectively. The vertical distance from the bridge deck to the river is 565.4 meters. The vertical distance from the top of the bridge tower to the river is 740 meters. The angle is excellent, the drone is placed, and various angles are very shocking.
Taking photos as a souvenir, my mother is satisfied.
The second stop is the Wumeng prairie, which is the most mysterious place for my mother on this trip. The Beipanjiang Bridge is not far away. I drove to the gate of the scenic spot, registered and collected tickets, and the tickets were free. I drove into the scenic spot. This is still a plateau, and this is the first place in Guizhou. Two peaks. But there are a lot of people here, all kinds of amusement projects, various rest and eating areas, and the management is in place and the scenery is beautiful.
It is definitely suitable for parent-child fun, horse riding, grass skiing (skiing in winter), all kinds of beautiful grassland scenery, scenic roads are very good, and there are RV camps. Drive all the way to see Haizi and various scenery, and finally arrived at the Buddhist Temple, where there are a lot of cars, climbing the top of the mountain, the scenery is invincible.
The scenery on the way back is still different. Let the baby ride a horse at the rest point. The baby who is riding a horse for the first time is very comfortable and satisfied.
Leaving the prairie, it took more than 2 hours to reach Xingyi directly, and there was a bit of traffic jam in the urban area.
I booked my favorite Wanfenglin Scenic Spot Qizhi B&B, which is located in Shangnahui Village. This is the most expensive hotel of this trip, and Wanfenglin is at the door. Checked in in the evening, the boss was nice and helped us make noodles. At this time, I got the bad news that the road in Wanfenglin Scenic Area had collapsed and had been closed for more than half a month. I was thinking about the plan to go to other scenic spots the next day. Back to the room in a not too bad mood, the boss actually sent a message at night that the scenic spot will return to normal tomorrow, good luck!
D5: Weeding Wanfeng Forest
Waking up early in the morning, there is Wanfenglin outside the balcony, and the eyes are full of green. Villages and farmland are intertwined here, not as primitive as last year's Maolan. I flew a drone on the balcony. The height limit here is 120 meters, but the scenery is beautiful.
The breakfast at the owner's house is freshly made. The noodles and fried dough sticks are very delicious. After eating, I went to the backyard to walk around. Only then did I realize that the most beautiful part of this inn is the back yard. I thought last night that the room didn't seem to be worth the price, but with breakfast and the backyard, although it's still a bit expensive, it's worth a lot. In the backyard, the baby and the cat had a great time playing, and the surroundings were beautiful.
Drive to the Wanfenglin Visitor Center. Since the road has just been repaired, it can only be visited by a sightseeing car. This is also a variety entertainment net red attraction. Stop at various viewing platforms along the way. The landscape here belongs to the karst landform in southwest China. It can be called the China Cone Karst Museum. It is the largest and most typical karst peak forest in China. It is very satisfying to watch from a high altitude.
Various photos were taken, and finally went down the mountain and passed through the village, passed by the homestay, and returned to the visitor center. My mother took the baby to a gardening exhibition next door, which was more localized. After leaving Wanfenglin, although I personally prefer Maolan last year, the conditions here are better and the facilities are more complete. Not far from the tourist center, there is a street of egg fried rice. It is said that there used to be egg fried rice. Later, I don’t know which event, the stars thought it was delicious, and it became more and more popular. There are all small egg fried rice shops. The most popular Huangxiu Egg Fried Rice is crowded with people. There are few people next door, and the taste is not bad. Corn is put in the egg fried rice, which tastes good. Fried brook fish, crispy meat, and a few side dishes are affordable.
After eating, my wife, mother, and baby walked back all the way, and I went to the visitor center to pick up the car. The environment was comfortable, there was light rain in the sky, and my eyes were green.
I went back to the hotel and asked the boss to borrow a bicycle, took the baby on the back seat, walked through several ash villages, and looked at the thousand-year-old banyan tree. It was very relaxing, and finally weeded the Wanfeng Forest. For dinner, I went to the Buyi Niu Mowang not far away. It is opened by the local ethnic minorities. The beef is sold by the catty, and the side dishes are ordered by the boss. The beef hot pot is very good.
D6: Huangguoshu, Malinghe Anti-Japanese War Highway
The breakfast is still delicious, and the baby still goes to play with the cat. Leaving Wanfenglin in the morning, I went to the second scenic spot in Xingyi, Maling River. This is the canyon, buy a ticket to enter, take the elevator down to the bottom of the valley, and walk along the way. The Maling River Canyon is a deep fissure in the orogenic movement, known as the scar of the earth. There are several waterfalls on both sides of the canyon, the water volume is not small and very beautiful, the baby is looking for water sources everywhere with a water gun. The landscape here is characterized by cracked valleys, flying waterfalls, and calcium carbonate wall hangings. There are plank roads on both sides of the valley. It is not very tiring to visit around, but the suspension bridge in the middle of the road is broken, and the plank road on the other side cannot go. You can only turn back the same way.
Leaving the Maling River, because I want to go to Huangguoshu, I gave up the rafting activity of the first drift in China. Have a meal at the small shop at the door and set off.
In two hours, we arrived at the Anti-Japanese War Highway—72nd Turn on the side of National Highway 320. Unexpectedly, it was the Torch Festival of the local Yi people. The government vigorously supported this project, and it seems that only here is the most lively place. Many people from nearby places come here to have fun. This local festival belonging to the Spring Festival level makes it very happy here, and many staff members go to support the Torch Festival. We came to see the Anti-Japanese War Highway, which is a mistaken collision.
It is located in Qinglong, and there are many anti-Japanese war sites of the Expeditionary Army. Among them, the 24th Turn Road is the core part of the scenic spot, and it is the landmark section of the famous Stilwell Road, with a total length of 4 kilometers and a width of 6 meters. The straight-line distance of twenty-four turns is 350 meters, the vertical height is 250 meters, and the slope angle is 60 degrees. During the Anti-Japanese War, it became the traffic artery of the Allied China-Myanmar-India War Zone, a symbol of the unity of the Chinese and American civilians in the war of resistance, and was hailed as the lifeline of the War of Resistance.
Buy a ticket and get on the bus, turn and turn, this road is really shocking. Turn along the 24th Road to the top of the mountain. There is an open area. Continue to drive for 4 kilometers. There is a museum on the opposite mountain top, overlooking the whole picture of the 24th Road. tour.
It is not far from Huangguoshu, more than an hour away. I booked the Huangguoshu Disease Center in advance, and booked the tickets in advance. The tickets are valid for two days, including Tianxing Bridge, Doupotang, and the Great Waterfall. Huangguoshu Hotel is an old hotel with an excellent location. It is in the scenic area, and you can drive directly from the No. 1 emergency entrance and exit of the scenic area. Checked in smoothly, the room is good value for money, without feeling damp, the hotel restaurant is very state-run, but the taste is good.
D7: Huangguoshu Scenic Area
The hotel's breakfast is so-so, but there is a door under the restaurant that leads directly to Huangguoshu Scenic Area, which is convenient. I came to Huangguoshu ten years ago, and the water was small in winter, but this time the water flow was huge. Walking all the way to the waterfall viewing platform, it was very shocking. Due to the landslide, the water curtain cave behind the waterfall could not be reached. Go up, down, left, and right along the trail to see the Great Falls. There is no rain, but there is a rainbow, and the whole body is soaked.
This is called the Great Waterfall Scenic Area. It is actually the largest first-class waterfall in the Huangguoshu Waterfall Group and one of the world's famous waterfalls. 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.
Huangguoshu Waterfall is a typical waterfall in karst landform. Leaving the scenic spot, I took the direct elevator. The stairs next to the elevator disappeared ten years ago. If you don’t take the elevator, you have to climb a lot of roads. After leaving the gate, the commercial street is very long. It is not as convenient as a 50 yuan one-day trip in a black car at the gate ten years ago. It is a regular bus shuttle in the scenic spot, leaving the waterfall and going directly to Doupotang.
Doupotang Waterfall is located 1 km upstream of the waterfall. The top of the waterfall is 105 meters wide and 21 meters high. It is the widest waterfall in the Huangguoshu Waterfalls. On the top of Doupotang Waterfall is a huge melting pool with an area of 15,000 square meters, and the waterfall is formed on a calcified beach dam that is more than 100 meters long.
This is the most labor-saving and leisure place in Huangguoshu Scenic Area, it is worth visiting.
After leaving Doupotang, I took a car to Tianxing Bridge. There are many people here, and the scenic spot is very large. It takes a little physical strength to walk all the way, but the scenery is beautiful and you don’t feel tired after walking around. There are 3 connected areas in Tianxing Bridge, namely Tianxing Basin Scenic Area, Tianxing Cave Scenic Area, and Water Stone Forest Scenic Area. The tour group basically passed the bonsai area to Gaolaozhuang. Entering the scenic spot, there are many people walking for several steps to see all kinds of strange rocks. They are very beautiful. My mother admired this place very much when she came here for the first time.
After passing Gaolaozhuang, the number of tourists decreased, and Tianxing Cave was not opened due to the epidemic. The stone forest on the water is really majestic and beautiful. Personally, the most shocking thing is the Yinlian Zhuitan Waterfall, which is worth nostalgic for a while. The dry season ten years ago did not have the same effect as today. Take the ropeway at the exit.
Unexpectedly, the most tiring part was that we had to walk a long way to the distribution point where the shuttle bus took us to the tourist bus point after we went out. I missed the 50 yuan black car era so much.
I swiped more than 20,000 steps a day, a large part of which was used at the exit, and returned to the hotel early for a rest and dinner.
D8: Baling River Bridge Hongya Tianshu Dishuitan Waterfall Anshun
Leaving the hotel after breakfast, not far away is the Baling River Bridge, which is a high-speed passage connecting the east and west banks in Anshun, Guizhou, China. It is located on the waterway of the Baling River and is an important part of the G60 Expressway. The bridge has just been built and is the first in various categories. Now it is said that under the efforts of the infrastructure madman, it has become the top ten. There is a bungee jumping ticket on the bridge that costs 3,000 yuan, which is said to be the best in the world.
100 yuan to climb the bridge, my mother and baby have no fear of heights, my legs are weak, my wife simply does not come up, and flies a drone under the bridge to watch. There are not many tourists, and there are all kinds of exciting entertainment on the bridge, especially bungee jumping. On January 12, 2019, the Guinness world record for bungee jumping was set. The height is about 370 meters. It is the highest commercial bungee jumping facility in the world. Take pictures and turn around, satisfied.
Under the bridge, there is the Balinghe Bridge Science and Technology Museum located in the Balinghe Qiaotou Park, which does not seem to be open.
Not far away is Hongya Tianshu. Walking along the national road, the road up is relatively small. Fortunately, there are not many people. It is a mysterious landscape hidden deep in Anshun City, Guizhou Province. It is located about fifteen miles east of Guanling Buyi and Miao Autonomous County. Kilometers away from the middle of Mount Sunka. The parking lot at the tourist site is wide, you pay the parking fee, no tickets are required, the uphill road is very small, and the baby struggles all the way up the mountain. The Baling River Bridge is really a good angle to see from here.
I don't know a word, and all kinds of legends on the Internet can be counted as punch cards. Going back to the parking lot and eating some dry food, the baby found the little boy in the parking lot to play with, very clean and very happy.
In the afternoon, I came to the other side of the Baling River Bridge - Dishuitan Waterfall. It is said that it is an Internet celebrity. I found that some tourists here moved here because they did not buy tickets for Huangguoshu. The waterfall is on the other side of the national highway. There are no tickets, but there are many local hawkers. It feels like there is no way to go down to the bottom of the valley, but if there are more people walking, there will be a way. With the baby, I screamed all the way to the bottom of the valley, the road was full of mud, the locals were extremely cheerful, and some came down with barbecue grills.
The baby's water gun played a role here. Sitting in the stream, looking at the majestic waterfall opposite, playing with the water gun, and the Baling River Bridge behind it, it was so cool. This waterfall is not far from Huangguoshu. It has three levels and is six times higher than Huangguoshu as a whole. When you reach the bottom of the valley, you can only see the bottom level, which is already very beautiful. After enjoying the waterfall, my mother found a dry road. When I got back to the road, I paid one yuan to wash off the mud on my body. The locals said that after three days of rain, the water would be small. They would go to the opposite waterfall to take a bath in the pool. Very deep, and you can climb to the top of the mountain. All right, let's punch in.
Leaving Huangguoshu, I chose Anshun tonight and will go home tomorrow. Stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel with excellent scenery, opposite to Hongshan Park, which is picturesque.
Anshun, an unremarkable city, had a bus fall into a river a month ago. I planned to go to the scene to see it, but my wife said not to see it. But the more I looked out of the hotel window, the more I looked at it. I asked the waiter, and it turned out that the bridge under the window was the problem. Let's go, let's go!
The hotel dinner is very delicious, and I took the baby to swim and rest at night.
D9: Anshun Guiyang
Early in the morning, my mother and wife took the baby to the hotel for parent-child activities. I went around the Confucian Temple, Wu Temple and Wang Ruofei's former residence, and took a quick look at the bus falling into the river.
After packing up my luggage, I drove back to Guiyang, and everything went well.
Write at the end:
Guizhou is worth coming again. . .
