Qianxinan is different from what I imagined

Guizhou has always given me the impression that mountains, mountains, mountains, should be surrounded by mountains everywhere. What made me gradually get to know Guizhou was from Xingyi, Guizhou, the episode of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" It turned out that Guizhou's scenery is so beautiful, and there are so many delicious foods in Qianxinan.

Packing up my luggage, carrying a backpack, a camera, and a drone, I can’t wait to start my trip to Qianxinan. I know the beautiful scenery there, and the delicious food has already waved to me.

Rather than saying that this is a trip to gourmet food to gain weight, it is better to say that this is a journey of rejuvenating the fat house movement. After all, the road is far more than the food, and it is true to the sentence: go out, travel, Sooner or later you have to pay it back. After eating that much, there must be a way to deplete you. So, next, let's see how this fat house of mine was reborn in Qianxinan! !

Anlong rock climbing, it turns out that life is hanging by a thread is so exciting

For me, who lives in a fat house for a long time, it is hard to have the opportunity to travel far. I must seize the opportunity to exercise, get rid of the fat on my body, and regain the handsome youth with "five-pack abs" Own.

Southwest Guizhou is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Whether it is the beautiful scenery or the air rich in negative ions, it is undoubtedly a good place for exercise. Therefore, my rebirth will start from Qianxinan.

There was a rock climbing movie that was very popular before, and it can be said to blow up the circle of friends. Every audience who walks into the movie theater and sees the protagonist Alex climbing the El Capitan with his bare hands will hold his breath and sweat for him. You know, El Capitan is the "ultimate goal" of every rock climber, but what does freehand rock climbing mean? A little mistake can be fatal.

In the past, I didn't have any idea about rock climbing. I just thought it was an ordinary sport. After Anlong rock climbing, everything changed, and I finally understood why so many people are loyal to extreme sports.

Anlong, Anlong County is located in the transitional area from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the hills of Guangxi. It has rich karst landform resources, which brings a lot of convenience to the sport of rock climbing. Anlong International Rock Climbing Park makes full use of the landform resources of Dushan Mountain to build a comprehensive mountain outdoor sports base with rock climbing and caving as the core.

The rock climbing base will be mainly divided into three forms. The first form is rock climbing on natural rock walls, which is the most common rock climbing on natural rock walls; the second is plank road climbing, with a length of more than 600 meters; This plank road is an artificial rock wall used for competitions. And what we are climbing this time is the artificial rock wall.

At the beginning, I was still very hesitant. Just like everyone was worried, the main issue was safety. But then the coach gave us a shot in the arm. All the climbing materials used here are imported from France, and a French professional rock climbing construction team was specially invited to build them. There is no doubt about the safety. The measures of double safety ropes also greatly enhance the safety.

I have been exposed to indoor rock climbing before, and it feels completely different from this real outdoor rock climbing. It can only be when you hang on a cliff, feel the wind blowing from both sides, and overlook the height of 100 meters below your feet. Life hangs by a thread" heartbeat feeling.

Nakung Buyi Ancient Village, the Birth of a Piece of Cloth

Perhaps everyone who has lived in a big city for a long time will look forward to having a weekend to live a poetic life like "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" written by Tao Yuanming. And the moment I stepped into the ancient village of Nakung Buyi, I felt strongly that such a life seemed to be right in front of my eyes.

The old-fashioned buildings with white walls and blue tiles are not as elegant as Huizhou buildings, but they are more down-to-earth. Every household has its own field in front of the door, not to mention the size, there must be no problem with self-sufficiency. Strolling on the country road in the village, smelling the fragrance of rice ears coming from all directions, listening to the chirping of birds and cicadas on the century-old trees, and looking at the picturesque pastoral beauty in front of you, at that moment, you have no reason to let yourself leave here .

The pace of life of the local people is very slow, and the field in front of the door is their "office". As long as they are not late for work, they are the boss themselves, and they can control their time by themselves, so they have a lot of freedom. Of course, they are very self-disciplined, leaving early and returning late, because only by being self-disciplined can we talk about freedom. It was already afternoon when we came to the village, and they had just finished their day of farm work and were going home to prepare dinner. The duck also followed his master, swaggering all the way back to his love nest.

In addition to busying with farm work, the people here usually focus more on the homemade cloth that is very characteristic of the Buyi nationality. Their national costumes are mainly in three colors of blue, blue and white. They use the oldest looms and the most primitive weaving techniques to weave each piece of homemade cloth with heart. I saw their feet pedaling up and down alternately, their hands alternately operating the shuttle and the shuttle, their hands flying, shuttle back and forth, their skillful movements are as beautiful as playing a piano.

The women's clothing of the Buyi people in Qianxinan Prefecture is generally a large-fronted jacket and long trousers; the shoulders, cuffs, and skirts of the clothes are inlaid with orchids; The length of the clothes and the size of the trousers are different. Homemade brocade and batik are the main features of Bouyei clothing.

The clothing fabrics of the Buyi people are mostly self-woven and self-dyed earthen cloth, including white earthen cloth and yarn-dyed cloth. Most of the yarn-dyed fabrics are grids, stripes, plum blossoms, pepper flowers, peppercorns, fishbone and other patterns. The colors of the costumes are mostly blue and blue with multi-color patterns, such as red, yellow, blue, white, etc., which are solemn and elegant, but also novel and unique. It reflects their simple, kind, gentle and enthusiastic character.

Look, we have just stepped into the gate, and the women of the Buyi nationality have already lined up to warmly welcome us, with their local folk songs around our ears. While they were singing, they still did not forget the homemade cloth in their hands. Perhaps only when the singing voice is integrated into the weaving cloth can this cloth truly have a soul!

In addition to clothes, there are many derivative products, such as cloth shoes, coin purses, fans and other small items that also contain many elements of the Bouyei ethnic characteristics, each of which can be regarded as a first-class handicraft.

Zhenfeng Ancient Town, the night here is so beautiful

If you think Zhenfeng is too noisy during the day, then you will definitely fall in love with the ancient city of Zhenfeng at night. There is no nightly singing like Lijiang Old Town, but more about returning to the true life.

Here, you will see children chasing the ball in the streets and alleys, you will see women dancing square dance with stereos, you will see old people sitting around chatting with stools, all you see What I saw was the most real life state, and there was no strong commercial atmosphere at all.

In the great China, every nation has a city that symbolizes the soul, such as Leishan Xijiang of the Miao nationality, Liping Zhaoxing of the Dong nationality, Lijiang of Yunnan Province of the Naxi nationality, and Hunan Phoenix of the Tujia nationality. And Zhenfeng is the core area where the Buyi people live together, an ancient city of Buyi, which not only shows the essence of Buyi culture, but also inhabits the soul of a nation.

In the ancient city of Zhenfeng, the night here is so beautiful that it makes people slow down. If you want to really understand it, why not choose a tavern, order a glass of sake, and savor it slowly?

Qinglong's sister Qituo, a beautiful town born out of poverty

Amei Qituo is the name of a traditional dance of the Yi people in Guizhou, expressing the yearning for a better life of the ethnic minority compatriots. Sanbao Township in Qinglong is a multi-ethnic mountain township mainly populated by Yi and Miao people. It is also one of the 20 extremely poor townships in Guizhou.

Later, after an in-depth analysis by the leaders, in 2017, it was determined that "relocation of the whole village" was the main path for Sanbao Township to get rid of poverty, and the method of centralized resettlement in Qinglong County was adopted to allow the poor people in Sanbao Yi Township to completely change their low income and public infrastructure. The status quo of backwardness, inconvenient transportation, and backward ideology, and this county resettlement area is called Amei Qituo Town.

From the Thanksgiving Tower on the mountain, you can overlook the entire town of Ameiqituo. You would not have thought that this is a small town born out of poverty. The bright brown reinforced concrete buildings with strong Yi ethnic style are built on the mountain. The traditional architectural layout makes the residential buildings well arranged, and the curved and sloping roofs have a panoramic view.

Amei Qituo is a group of original ecological dance originated from Sanbao Township. When Yi girls are newly married, good girlfriends in the village will gather together to "express love with their feet", and the sound of tapping with the soles of their feet has a neat rhythm and is shocking, known as "Oriental tap dance".

Amei Qituo is not a simple wedding custom dance. In addition to expressing the reluctance of female companions, Amei Qituo is more important to warn the bride to be diligent and thrifty in managing the house, respecting her in-laws, caring for her husband and teaching her children, and respecting her family. adjacent. "

Pu'anhong, even Ma Yun said good tea

The famous "Pu'an Red" is now becoming one of the business cards of Guizhou tea. Why is "Pu'an Red" so red? Thinking about it carefully, it stems from the unique charm of Pu'an ancient tea, from Pu'an people's dedication to tea cultivation, and from Pu'an people's emphasis on tea quality.

Because Pu'an has no extreme heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. With the unique natural conditions of "high altitude, low latitude, low sunshine and abundant rainfall", it is an excellent place to develop pollution-free, green and organic tea. Pu'an spring tea picking time is generally 10-20 days earlier than other tea areas inside and outside the province, enjoying the reputation of "the first spring of Guizhou tea".

Pu'an is one of the origins of tea trees in China. The local Siqiu tea tree is the oldest and largest ancient tea tree found in China, and it is also the largest wild Siqiu ancient tea tree colony in the world. According to data, in 1980, a tea tree fossil was excavated in Pu'an County, which was identified as a tea seed fossil one million years ago, and more than 20,000 ancient tea trees over a thousand years old were found, which were identified as Siqiu ancient tea trees. The ancient tea tree species belongs to one of the 32 categories of Theaceae, which is the only one in the world and unique to Pu'an, so Pu'an has become a famous tea hometown in the whole country.

In addition to a good natural environment, tea making also requires good craftsmanship and craftsmanship. The predecessor of Pu'an Red is "Buyi Fu Niang Tea". According to legend, it was made by the blessed A Niang of the Buyi people. Their unique fermentation technology has been passed down from the Ming Dynasty to the present. The best tea among them is all handmade, so the price will be relatively higher, and you really get what you pay for.

"Our Buyi people are a hospitable nation. When guests come, we will pick up musical instruments and play songs to express our welcome to the guests." A song suddenly sounded, and when we walked out of the processing workshop, it turned out that the local Buyi artists were playing their songs. "Little Hit Music".

According to them, the Xiaoda music of the Buyi people was introduced to Guizhou from the Central Plains during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty when they were transferred from the north to the south, and it was preserved and developed in the areas where the Buyi people lived. In the evolution of history, today's ensemble music, which is played in some folk activities such as festivals, weddings and ceremonies, was gradually formed. "Little Hit Music".

Listening to their little beat music, tasting the top-quality Pu'an red, what kind of fairy enjoyment is this. Later, the young lady who made tea for us said that there was an opportunity before, and a "special commissioner for poverty alleviation" in Guizhou had the honor to deliver Pu'anhong to Ma Yun. Be very careful, twist the tea leaves with your hands, smell the fragrance, and praise this is good tea!" After tasting, he also said: "Guizhou is a place that can produce good tea." Even Ma Yun's father said good tea, then It must be the best tea!

In addition to making high-quality tea leaves, Pu'an Red also produces many derivative products, one of which includes this tea oil handmade soap, which looks so delicate that I almost mistakenly thought it was for us and Pu'an black tea Accompanied by small pastries. Let's not talk anymore, I'm going to drink tea and listen to music! ! !

Walking in Wanfenglin, it is said that egg fried rice and eight-tone sitting singing are a perfect match

"There are so many mountains in the world, but only here are the peaks forming forests." More than 360 years ago, Xu Xiake, a famous geographer and traveler, had already vividly described the peculiar natural landscape of Wanfenglin. Such a large, forested karst landform can be called "the wonder of the world".

At the beginning, we first took a sightseeing car to overlook Wanfenglin from a high place. Of course, this angle is also the best angle to take pictures of Wanfenglin. It is no wonder that Xu Xiake sighed like that at that time. It's a pity that the weather was always rainy that day, the fog was still relatively large, and the visibility was not high, otherwise the scenery we saw would be even more spectacular.

Raise the drone and look down from God's vision, and you can see the local dwellings hidden in the peak forest, which are intricately distributed among the ten thousand peak forests. Also because the tourism development of Wanfenglin is getting better and better now, there have been many Internet celebrities here, and they are often full. After all, you can see the pastoral life of the mountain peaks when you open the window. How desirable it is.

Taking the sightseeing car, we went all the way to the bottom of the mountain. In fact, when visiting Wanfeng Forest, we can also choose to ride or hike. Being in it, it seems to have fallen into a paradise. It is also like a huge maze, wanting to escape but not addicted to it.

If the beautiful scenery of Wanfenglin satisfies your visual enjoyment, then you must not miss the egg fried rice street of Wanfenglin Jiangjunfeng. I never thought that an ordinary fried rice with eggs can become popular all over the Internet. What is the secret behind it? I saw the boss beat the eggs with a bowl in one hand, and made egg liquid in twos and threes, and put it into the pan filled with lard. With the sound of sizzling, the golden eggs swelled instantly, and put the local rice with rice With a little homemade bad chili, the boss skillfully shakes the pot and spatula, and a pot of fragrant egg fried rice is made.

At first I was still skeptical, thinking to myself: what tricks can a simple bowl of fried rice with eggs be made to attract so many tourists from all over the world. After one sip, I was convinced. Egg fried rice is the protagonist here. In fact, it has to be served with some cold dishes and green vegetables to be regarded as a real egg fried rice banquet. Although it looks simple, the taste is very sincere.

Otherwise, the Egg Fried Restaurant in front of Jiangjun Peak would not have opened to a large scale. The most popular store is also very personal. Anyway, the business is endless. Their store is based entirely on their mood. If they are happy, they will open it. If they are not happy, they will close the door to relax. ah! !

Well, if the egg fried rice just now satisfies your taste, then you can’t miss a form of folk folk art rap handed down from generation to generation by the Buyi people-eight-tone sitting singing. The performance form of the eight-tone sitting singing is that eight people hold eight kinds of musical instruments, such as ox bone hu, gourd qin, Yueqin, thorn drum, flute tube, hairpin, bag gong, and pony gong, and rap and sing in circles, showing that the Bouyei people The love of life, the longing for a good harvest, the pursuit of love, and the whipping of ugliness. It has a long history, gentle and elegant, and strong national characteristics, so it is called a living fossil of sound and the sound of nature.

Wanfeng Lake is sailing, the breeze is blowing, and the clear water is rippling

Wanfeng Lake is located in the southeast of Xingyi, belonging to the lower reaches of the Maling River. It is very rich in water resources. It is also named because it is surrounded by "Wanfeng". reputation.

Overlooking Wanfeng Lake from the air, there is water in the mountains, mountains in the water, mountains and mountains, and beautiful fish and water. These are the unique natural advantages of Wanfeng Lake, and it is a paradise for fishermen. There are different scenery in the morning, noon and evening, and it is also known as "three scenery in one day".

It is far from enough to describe Wanfeng Lake as "beautiful". Beauty is only its appearance, and we also need to see its inner spirit of "embracing all rivers". Its width is equivalent to 2 Erhai Lakes in Dali, 17 Hongfeng Lakes in Qingzhen, and 76 West Lakes in Hangzhou. It has a very rich water storage capacity.

In addition to being a paradise for anglers, Wanfeng Lake is also a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. Among them, the most worthwhile experience is sailing, and this is the first time I have experienced sailing. Rafting on Wanfeng Lake, enjoying the cool breeze blowing around, and admiring the mountain peaks on both sides of the river, is simply a high-level enjoyment.

The moment I pulled the rope and raised the sail, I felt that I was a winner in life, and I could afford the sailing boats worth millions.

If these are not enough to satisfy you, you can choose a more exciting project: jet ski, let you feel what is called speed and passion. Banana boats, kayaks, etc. are some of the popular water sports in summer, allowing you to have fun at one time.

To say that Wanfeng Lake impresses me the most is this Wanfeng Lake Jilong Castle, which is comparable to most castles in Europe. It is said that the cost of this castle is more than 300 million yuan, so it is no wonder that it is expensive. It is built on an isolated island and enjoys the best geographical location here. Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Wanfeng Lake, coupled with its Gothic architectural style, it is also known as the "Chinese version of Swan Castle".

In addition to being a beautiful landscape on Wanfeng Lake, its true identity is a special hotel. Don’t be deceived by its magnificent appearance. In fact, the room price here is not expensive at all, about 300 yuan (/standard room/night). It is very down-to-earth, so that ordinary people can have the opportunity to live in the castle and experience it The feeling of being a prince and princess. Imagine opening the curtains in the morning, and what greets us is the first ray of sunshine on Wanfeng Lake, as well as a rich breakfast waiting for us on the table, which is as beautiful as a fairy tale.

Hiking the Maling River Grand Canyon, enjoying the wonders of thousands of peaks and hundreds of waterfalls

If I were asked to choose a more comfortable way of exercising, then I would choose hiking. This slow-paced way may be more suitable for people like me who have long-term "fat houses". And this trip to Southwest Guizhou, hiking the Maling River Grand Canyon is my favorite! !

It can be said that every canyon is the most beautiful crack bestowed by God in the world. This 74.8-kilometer-long Maling River Canyon contains a magical landscape of ten thousand peaks, thousand islands, hundreds of waterfalls, strange valleys, and colored paintings. The vegetation on both sides of the river is lush and lush, and hundreds of waterfalls rush down, majestic. As soon as you enter the canyon, you can hear the impact of the waterfall rushing down.

Due to the role of "thousands of springs returning to gully and stream erosion", colorful canyon wonders have been bred. One is that the two walls of the canyon bred large-scale, magnificent and well-proportioned calcified rocks, which constitute a unique rock waterfall; Water curtain cave, these natural advantages have brought many different play experiences to the Malinghe Grand Canyon.

In addition to the waterfall, the calcified rocks on both sides of the canyon are also a major feature. It is said that these calcified rocks will take tens of millions of years to slowly form what we see today, layer by layer, and their age can be distinguished from their size, even the youngest we can put it Call it a fossil!

What does this fast stalactite look like? Is there a bit like a sea lion? ! In fact, there is a family of three sea lions here, from left to right are the father of the sea lion, the mother of the sea lion and the little sea lion. There is actually a story about where they are now. It is said that the father of the sea lion did something sorry for the family, so he was separated from the mother and baby forever, and the father of the sea lion regretted it and washed his face with tears all day long.

About Qianxinan Cuisine

Thirty kinds, it can be said that the glutinous rice delicacy has been developed to the extreme.

5. Pure handmade glutinous rice cakes

Of course, this is also a kind of glutinous rice delicacy, because glutinous rice cake is my favorite kind of dessert, so I will talk about it separately.

About reborn results?

In the end, I would like to talk about the results of going out of the fat house this time and wanting to be reborn. I gained 2 catties because I ate too much food, but I didn’t consume a catty or two because of the many roads I walked and the high mountains I climbed. Failed to lose weight. But for Fei Zhai, it is not easy to go out, everyone is welcome to supervise and encourage, I will walk more roads, go to more places, consume more fat, come on! ! !
