I used to travel through Guizhou, and I didn’t really go to Guizhou’s scenic spots in the true sense. Taking advantage of the easing of the epidemic this year and not wanting to increase the burden on the country, I avoided the time when the peak flow of people is concentrated during the summer vacation. On September 5, I took my parents to travel from Sichuan to Guizhou. I also made some strategies in advance. The accommodation is 30% cheaper than in the peak season. Most of them are booked on Ctrip, and the tickets are 50% off. The route is: Sichuan Guang'an - Bijie Zhijin Cave - Liupanshui Jiucaiping - Huangguoshu Waterfall - Dragon Palace - Xiasi Ancient Town - Qianhu Miao Village - Zhenyuan - Libo Xiaoqikong - Return. The total mileage is about 2021 kilometers, the toll fee is about 1200 yuan, and the fuel fee is about 1000 yuan.
know you remember you
Guizhou attracts tourists through different tourism policies every year. As the saying goes, "Culture sets up the stage, the economy plays a role, and reputation expands." There are always many tourists who come to visit every year, which has indeed brought economic benefits to the local area. Everyone said that so-and-so was commercialized, which didn't make much sense. Another way of thinking is that commercialization can also show the maturity of the local tourism industry. In a real sense, tourism has made local residents rich. Of course, there are still many villages in Guizhou that have not been over-developed, mainly concentrated in the southeast of Guizhou, such as Rongjiang County. In 2008, Rongjiang County was awarded the "Hometown of Chinese National Culture and Art" by the Ministry of Culture. Blowing Lusheng Contest, Dong Nationality Singing Contest, etc. This time because I brought my parents, I didn't go.
All scenic spots in Guizhou have mountains and water, and the mountains and rivers are interdependent. In particular, there are so many waterfalls in the scenic spots in Anshunli, no wonder it is called "the hometown of waterfalls". When you come to Guizhou, you must try the "sour soup fish". Jiaosuan (the sourness of tomatoes and the spiciness of sea pepper), has a mellow sour taste, light red color and fragrance, very appetizing.

first day first stop
On September 5th, we departed from Guang'an, Sichuan Province to Zhijin Cave. Why did we choose Zhijin Cave as the first stop? Because "China National Geographic" and other national geographic research departments highly praised Zhijin Cave, calling it "the king of Chinese caves" ", "I don't see the mountains when I come back from Huangshan. There is no cave outside the Zhijin Cave! So I chose to come to the Zhijin Cave in Bijie as the first stop. Another reason is that the weather forecast said that there will be rain. I don't know if it will be a shower or it will continue Rain, at least the first stop, you can’t walk in the rain!! There is no rain in Zhijin Cave. Another reason is that the journey time is a little shorter than other scenic spots: 6 hours and 39 minutes, 544.2 kilometers, and the toll fee is 300 About RMB (ETC fee).
It was already around 8:00 pm at the toll gate of the Zhijindong Scenic Spot in Bijie from the expressway. After all, after driving for 2-3 hours, we will take a rest in the service area. Therefore, it was already dark when we arrived, just as the weather forecast said. When the rain came, due to exhaustion and no dinner, I booked a small hotel with Ctrip in advance. If the weather is good or friends who arrive early, it is recommended to live near the scenic spot (Guanzhai Miao Township), at least eat more. Buy tickets directly through the WeChat official account of Zhijindong Cave Scenic Area, and pass the ID card inspection (ticket + insurance = 85 yuan), because the parents are 60 years old, so tickets are free but 30 yuan insurance fee is still required, and the WeChat official account is still available. There is an electronic guide to accompany you all the way.
When entering the scenic spot, the sky was drizzling, and after playing in the cave for 3 hours, the sky cleared up, and it started to heat up again after exiting the cave entrance.
first day second stop
Why did I go to Liupanshui Jiucaiping? After lunch from the Zhijin Cave Scenic Spot, set off immediately to Liupanshui Jiucaiping, a total of 195.7 kilometers in 2 hours and 36 minutes. Fortunately, the distance is not very far, but the mountain road is rugged, and the winding mountain road has not yet formed a climate, so there are no tickets and only parking fees. , 3 yuan per hour. But there are still many tourists here. This is the season when chives are in full bloom. Leek Ping is very suitable for camping.
first day third stop
After staying in Jiucaiping for about 2 hours, it was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and we went to Wanfenglin Scenic Area in Xingyi City. The whole journey is 274.7 kilometers in 4 hours and 2 minutes. Tonight's accommodation is a homestay booked through Ctrip. When we arrived at the B&B, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening. The boss, who is from Cantonese, personally helped us with the luggage, cooked a simple dish, and enthusiastically made tea for us to rest. The boss asked me to add 50 yuan to upgrade my parents' accommodation to an observation deck room, so it doesn't matter if I am alone. The score of this homestay on Ctrip is quite high. The room is very clean and tidy. After dinner, we drank tea in the open-air rest area of the hotel and looked at the rice fields and Wanfeng Forest in the night. The boss said that the rice fields here will be harvested after a while, and you came at the right time. When the wind blows, you can see the green waves of wheat.
second day first stop
I woke up at about 6:40 in the morning. I felt sleepy and could no longer fall asleep. I felt that the scenery outside was calling me. How can I live up to such a good weather and such a bright morning. I put on everything and started running in the morning, admiring the idyllic scenery and taking pictures while running. There are many local residents living in Xia Nahui Village, and of course the residents also have dogs, so they stop and walk slowly when they see a house. Unknowingly, I came to Nahui Bridge. This is a small market for local residents. It is also a square. There are century-old banyan trees integrated with the bridge piers on all sides of the ancient bridge.
After breakfast at the B&B, drive to the parking lot of Wanfenglin Scenic Area, buy tickets directly by paying attention to the WeChat public account of the local scenic spot, and take a sightseeing bus to visit Wanfenglin. The ticket price is 85 yuan (including scenic spot tickets, sightseeing tickets and insurance). Parents are free of charge .
This road is basically a sightseeing bus, and rarely walks. It is very suitable for the elderly and children to come here to play. At the same time, the rural scenery here is also very beautiful. It is suitable for a person to calm down and be in a daze, or invite three or five friends to enjoy it slowly. .
Second stop the next day
After the tour, we found a noodle restaurant in Xingyi City. We simply ate a bowl of rice noodles and headed to Shunyi Huangguoshu Waterfall. The journey took 2 hours and 55 minutes and 190.7 kilometers. We arrived at Huangguoshu Town at around 4 o'clock, and it started to rain. Fortunately, we didn't buy tickets for today's tour in advance. Otherwise, there is a rush of time and it is raining again. There are many vendors selling raincoats here. I suggest that you don’t need to buy them (even if we are the closest to Huangguoshu Waterfall, we will be wet by the rain and fog blown by the wind. After a while, we will leave the Huangguoshu scenic spot and go to Touring other scenic spots will be dry, unless it’s raining and you don’t want to take an umbrella), if you really can’t get rid of the entanglement, you will bargain hard. The three of us don’t want it at all, and the hawker keeps twisting. We ruthlessly bargained down the price of 3 raincoats for 3 yuan, and we agreed to make a deal. If we disagree, please don’t bother us. In the end, we made a deal and bought 3 raincoats and kept lying in the carriage.
Due to the rain and time, I couldn't appreciate it slowly, so I simply stayed in a local hotel. This hotel is very close to the boarding point of the sightseeing bus in Huangguoshu Scenic Area, and it is also very close to the drop-off point of the sightseeing bus in Huangguoshu Scenic Area. It is just in the middle, and the breakfast is good, and the parking is free. It is recommended that friends who drive by themselves can make a reservation.
Day 3 first stop
Yesterday I bought tickets for today’s visit to the scenic spot in advance (follow the WeChat public account of the scenic spot), and had breakfast at the hotel. My parents always got up early, so they urged me to have breakfast, so that it would be less crowded and inconvenient. I think this time is the off-season, no matter how many there are, you can’t go there. Only when you enter the scenic spot, you will know that there are really many people. It is no less than the peak season. Most of them are elderly groups traveling with the whole country. Tickets for Huangguoshu: 140 yuan, 60 yuan for the elderly.
Due to the relatively abundant precipitation in the past few days, Huangguoshu Waterfall and Doupotang Waterfall carry a lot of sediment. When the waterfall is small, the water volume is relatively small and the white water flow appears, but it does not have such a majestic momentum.
third day second stop
After lunch in Huangguoshu Town, we drove to Dragon Palace. My parents can rest in the car and I have a lot of energy. Some friends will say, won't parents be tired from running around like this? My father is a restless person, but my mother doesn't care, she won't leave if she can't walk, and when our father and son come back, it's a big deal not to look at it, but to come out to see novelties and get some fresh air. The main purpose of visiting the Dragon Palace is to see what kind of scenery it is like on the rafting, the strange rocks, lights and the reflection of the water. Therefore, Zhijin Cave belongs to land karst caves, and Dragon Palace belongs to water and land karst caves. Huangguoshu Town - Dragon Palace: 37.7 kilometers in 44 minutes.Dragon Palace is the place with the lowest natural radiation dose rate in the world. Traveling to Dragon Palace can effectively avoid a large amount of radiation, and people who work and live here are happier. Tickets for the Dragon Palace are 95 yuan (half-price tickets for the Dragon Palace + sightseeing tickets + accident insurance for scenic spots), free for seniors aged 60.
It was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon when we came out of the Dragon Palace, and we were going to Qianhu Miao Village, but the expressway was running slowly due to construction, and the two old people were a little tired, so we didn't take the Hua'an Expressway to Qianhu Miao Village , but go directly to Anshun city for accommodation. I booked a hotel near the Anshun high-speed rail station on Ctrip, so it is more convenient to get in and out of the city.
Day four first stop
In the morning, after having breakfast at the hotel, we set off for Qianhu Miao Village. On the way, we will pass through the ancient town of Xiasi (if there is a down, there will be a superior, and the superior is located in the south-central Dushan County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province). In the Qing Dynasty, it belonged to the subdivision of the Pingding Changjusi. Because it was located in the lower reaches of Pingding, it was named Xiasi, and it was known as: "Humanistic Xiasi, heaven made mountains and rivers". The degree of commercialization of Xiasi Ancient Town is not only on both sides of the main road, but there are still many buildings with local characteristics outside the main road. It can also be understood that Xiasi Ancient Town still has many original flavors. Anshun-Xiasi Ancient Town: 2 hours and 30 minutes, about 251.9 kilometers, ticket 40 yuan. Seniors are free.
Day four second stop
In Xiasi Ancient Town, apart from me and my dad going shopping, my mom was resting in the car, so I didn't finish the shopping completely. It is true that Xiasi Ancient Town is just a passing site, and there are not many tourists here, but I like some of the national architectural styles of Xiasi Ancient Town, no wonder it is called "Little Shanghai". I like it better than the commercialized Qianhu Miao Village. Xiasi Ancient Town - Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village: 33 minutes, about 53.9 kilometers. The magnificence of Miao Village shocked me. The hotel I booked on Ctrip is near the viewing platform, so I don’t have to compete with others for the viewing position at night. Since it’s the off-season, the viewing platform of the hotel is my world, and this hotel is also free Upgraded to a viewing platform room for my parents.
Fifth day first stop
On the fifth day, I had breakfast at the inn, and slowly walked uphill from the viewing platform of Qianhu Miao Village to the west gate of the sightseeing car. From Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village to Zhenyuan Ancient City, you will pass through Jianhe County during the Sankai Expressway, and you will see the giant statue of Yang Asha in the distance. This scenic spot was not in my plan, so I simply got off the highway in Jianhe County to see the giant statue of "Yang Asha", which is regarded as a god of beauty by the Miao people. The "Yang Asha" statue started construction in November 2016 and was completed in April 2017. It is the tallest statue of the Miao Goddess of Beauty in the country. The statue of "Yang Asha" is 88 meters high, of which the base is 22 meters high and the statue is 66 meters high. It is taken from the local Miao festivals "February 2" and "June 6", and has traditional Miao cultural implications. It took less than ten minutes to play here. After taking a few photos, I drove to the ancient city of Zhenyuan.
Fifth day second stop
If you enter the ancient city of Zhenyuan within the time limit, if all vehicles enter the ancient city, you will not be able to enter the city. You will walk a section of the mountain road, which will make you confused whether you have been deceived by the navigation, because you will find that the road is very uneven and spacious on the driving road. , I don’t want to go to the roads of tourist attractions at all, and there are very few vehicles coming and going. That’s why no cars are willing to take this road during the restricted period. Most cars leave or enter the ancient city before 9:00 in the morning. (Bus except cars).
The prices in Zhenyuan Ancient City are very close to the people. It is not like a tourist attraction at all. We live near the Zhusheng Bridge. The stir-fried vegetables such as fried shredded pork at noon are only about 25 yuan a piece, and the fried shredded pork eaten in Huangguoshu Town is 45 yuan a piece. At night, while enjoying the night view, I ate fish in sour soup in Wuyang River, and it was only 45 yuan a catty. Therefore, Zhenyuan Ancient Town is also very suitable for three or five friends or a good place to be alone in a daze. Sitting by the river in the afternoon, there are willows to shield you from the scorching sun. Everything is so beautiful when the breeze blows, watching the willow branches fluttering with the wind and watching each other on the shore The Hui-style buildings lined up feel like they have come to the south of the Yangtze River.
In the afternoon in the ancient city, my hands and face were very tanned, and I completely underestimated the sunshine in Zhenyuan in September. The scenery of Zhenyuan ancient city is completely different between day and night. During the day, it can be said to be like a quiet woman, quietly letting you appreciate it slowly. At night, it is charming and enchanting, making you reluctant to leave.
On the sixth day, this wave
In order to avoid taking that detour, we had breakfast before 9:00 and left Zhenyuan Ancient City. It takes 3 hours and 40 minutes to start towards Libo Xiaoqikong, about 293.2 kilometers. Arrived at the Libo parking lot (the self-driving car is parked in the underground parking lot) at almost 12:00 noon. I thought there were not many tourists in the off-season. Who knew that it was like traveling with a group of seniors during the peak tourist season, queuing up for ticket inspection and queuing up for the bus. When we arrived at the first scenic spot and got off the bus, there was a sudden shower of rain, which made tourists unable to rub their hands, and all crowded under the tents to avoid the rain. After about half an hour, the heavy rain turned into light rain, and the tourists who took shelter from the rain began to walk along the stone road again.
I have been to Jiuzhaigou, and this time I came to Libo, I still like it and am surprised. The mountains and rivers of the motherland have their own characteristics, and each has its own advantages. The water in Jiuzhaigou is dreamy, the water in Libo is pure beauty, the water in Enshi Grand Canyon is extremely clear, and the water in Wujiang River is like emerald. Why do you say that, the water in Jiuzhaigou will produce different colors due to different scenic spots, different water depths, different light exposures, and different geological water quality. Libo, you walk all the way to the exit, it is green like agate, with a gradual gradient from shallow to deep.
Return on the seventh day
On the seventh day, return from Libo to Sichuan, about 8 hours and 40 minutes, about 761 kilometers, and the ETC fee is about 360 yuan. There are still regrets in this trip. For example, I did not go to many scenic spots, such as Fanjing Mountain, Rongjiang Sanbao Qianhu Dong Village, Qingyan Ancient Town, and Zhaoxing Dong Village. The mountains and rivers of the motherland are huge, and I don't know when I will come to Guizhou next time. Try to bring your family to visit different provinces every year.
