For middle-aged us, traveling during the holidays is neither "emptying" nor "only food and travel can't live up to it", but just want to enjoy parent-child time without work interruptions and trivial worries. The elderly, children and a dog have to be taken care of. Places with a lot of people are not considered, at least not when there are many people. During the National Day, there are all kinds of crowds and congestion. It seems difficult to find an unpopular seat. Look at the National Day period I browsed the accommodation prices on Ctrip, and within the space allowed for walking within a limited time, I found that the accommodation prices in several places where Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan meet have not increased much. If there are many people, accommodation will be tight, and the corresponding price will also increase. A large adjustment, otherwise it should be unpopular, at least there will not be too many people in the time limit, the final itinerary confirmed our thoughts, so during the National Day, we went to the edge of Yungui River for a walk, there were no crowds, no crowds All kinds of queuing and so on, only all kinds of parent-child entertainment in the green mountains and green waters.

DAY1 departure, Mianyang to Zhaotong
From Mianyang to Zhaotong, the highway is more than 600 kilometers, and there are several routes to choose from. Naturally, it is necessary to bypass Chengdu, which is a big or small city blockade, and try to stay as far away as possible from the area that the blockage can radiate, so take Suining-Neijiang- Yibin-Zhaotong line. It was already past 10 o'clock in the morning when I got on the expressway. I had lunch in Anyue County not far from the expressway at noon, and arrived in Zhaotong at 7 o'clock in the evening. In the afternoon, I was walking on the expressway near Zhaotong. I saw the beautiful sunset under the setting sun and regretted not leaving early. I might be able to go to Dashanbao to watch the sunset. The sunset time of Dashanbao on Baidu is about 7 pm. It would be nice if I set off early Can catch up.
DAY2 Zhaotong Dashanbao Zhaotong-Dashanbao-Qujing
Dashanbao, Dashanbao, is read as Dabao Mountain every time. It is considered an alpine grassland. It is located in the west of Zhaotong City, 79 kilometers away from the urban area, with an altitude of 3100-3140 meters and an average annual temperature of 6.2℃. It is a national first-class protected animal. , the wintering habitat of the black-necked crane, the only crane that lives on the plateau in the world. There are two main scenic spots in Dashanbao, namely, Dahaizi to watch the black-necked cranes and Jigongshan to watch the sea of clouds. Before going to Dashanbao, I specially checked that the time for the black-necked cranes to come back to spend the winter is around October. Thinking about it, you can watch so many rare ones up close. The endangered species of black-necked cranes, by the way, popularize the knowledge about birds, the protection of the environment, the importance of birds, etc., by the way, this kind of itinerary is quite meaningful, so I was a little excited when I went to Dashanbao.
On the first day, I looked at the accommodation near Dashanbao on the Internet and was not very satisfied, so I finally decided to stay in Zhaotong City for the first night. The next morning, after breakfast at the hotel, we set out for Dashanbao. There is a first-class road from Zhaotong to Dashanbao. The road condition is very good, and there are few cars on the way. Therefore, we assume that there must be very few people in the scenic spot. Just as we are excited, when the first-class road ends and we change to the mountain road, we don’t know where to go. The vehicles popping up, one after another, at the bottom of the mountain, you can see the vehicles on the Panshan Road in a row. It doesn’t feel so good at once. I’m most afraid of crowds and queues, etc., but the navigation shows that it’s not far from the scenic spot. It's far away, and it's impossible to give up just now. Although there are many cars, at least it's smooth, so let's go up with the traffic flow, and hope that the land will be more crowded and the traffic will not be so crowded. As the car goes up the mountain, the trees gradually decrease, and the grasslands, alpine grasslands, the sky becomes bluer, and the clouds are within reach like cotton. There are many isolated viewing areas along the road, and there are many Those who sell baked potatoes and baked eggs build a fire on the side of the road, and pile potatoes, eggs, sweet potatoes, corn, etc. next to the fire and sell them now. Basically, they are 2 yuan each. When approaching the scenic spot, there are two roads, one leads to Dahaizi, and the other leads to Jigong Mountain. The traffic flow basically goes in the direction of Jigong Mountain. There are no cars going to Dahaizi. We thought we were going the wrong way, but we followed the navigation When I came to the gate of Dahaizi, I was blocked by the staff at the gate, saying that the black-necked cranes hadn’t come back yet, and they would go there in November, and a protected area has been built here. I don’t know if it’s because of the established protected area or the black-necked cranes. The crane didn't come back, and he was not allowed to enter anyway. No wonder the vehicles didn't go this way. If you can’t see a black-necked crane, go to Jigong Mountain to see the sea of clouds. The navigation prompts you to go back to the bifurcation intersection and then walk in the direction of Jigong Mountain. But after looking at the map, you will reach the ticket office after passing through the small town next to it. Just to be on the safe side I asked the residents of the small town to confirm that the ticket office is just across the town. There are very few people and cars in the small town. When I was about to leave the town, there was a limit on the height and width of the poles. Vehicles are not allowed on holidays. Coming out of the town is the parking lot, the car must be parked outside, and then buy a 98 yuan per person ferry ticket to enter Jigong Mountain. The parking lot probably hasn’t been repaired yet. It’s Tubazi. There are staff directing it. Seeing so many cars parked in the parking lot and a steady stream of vehicles pouring in, goodbye. People waiting for the shuttle bus have already formed a long queue. We immediately I decided to turn around and leave. I didn’t dare to walk through the town again when I was going out. I followed the navigation and walked out. I saw cars lined up for several miles along the small road outside the town. When will the queue be in the parking lot.
It takes more than an hour from Zhaotong city to Dashanbao. Since we decided not to enter the scenic spot, it is impossible to go for nothing. In fact, we saw the beautiful alpine grasslands along the way under the blue sky and white clouds. I just thought that the scenic spot would be more beautiful so I didn't stop there. There were many vehicles parked in the viewing isolation belt on the side of the road. I guess they didn't want to wait in line just like us. I found an open space, parked the car, got out of the car and ran to the grassland next to it. I was so excited, hahaha. . . At the beginning of October, Dashanbao is full of small flowers and fruits of various colors, layer upon layer, colorful and very beautiful. I spent more than 2 hours in the wild on the mountain. When I came down, it was after 1 o’clock and I was hungry. I bought baked potatoes, kao eggs and buckwheat cakes on the side of the road. The baked potatoes were divided into yellow skin and purple skin. There are not many purple skins, and the folks who sell them say that purple skins are more delicious, but I can’t tell the difference, they are very fragrant, and the baked eggs are also delicious. My children usually eat one when they don’t like boiled eggs. , said delicious, I don't know if I'm really hungry or really fragrant. Lunch is a simple solution. After eating, go to Qujing. Stay in Qujing at night. When you go down the mountain, you can see many apples on the side of the road. The taste is good, and the crispness and sweetness are just right. Apples cost 2 yuan a catty, and the slightly larger ones cost 4 yuan a catty. I bought some of them as fruit supplements along the way. Both the elderly and children like to eat them.
DAY3 Kowloon Waterfalls Qujing-Luoping
The Jiulong Waterfall Group is located 22 kilometers north of Luoping County, Yunnan Province. It is named for its origin from the Jiulong River. Due to the special geological structure and the millennium erosion of water flow, ten levels of waterfalls with different heights and widths have been formed here. The largest level is 112 meters wide and 56 meters high. It is magnificent and spectacular. The first waterfall in Kowloon.
The original plan was to go to the Jiulong Waterfalls in the morning and stay in Xingyi at night. When I was doing the guide, I saw someone said that it is better to go in the morning, the light is good for taking pictures, and it is backlit in the afternoon. Maybe I went crazy on Dashanbao, and I was a little tired. In addition, hotel accommodation in Xingyi seems to be very popular during the National Day. The real-time traffic conditions in the city can be observed at any time, and there are many road sections with red or yellow lines. What’s more, my dad searched for a Dai restaurant called Dai Minority Garden not far from the hotel where we were staying the night before. He thought that he had been playing for several days and hadn’t had a good meal of special food. You can't eat too much, you can only eat at noon. So I changed my plan. I slept until I woke up naturally in the morning. The elderly and children couldn’t sleep, so I wandered around Qujing City. I went to eat Dai cuisine at noon, went to see the Jiulong Waterfalls in the afternoon, and stayed in Luoping at night.
The luck that day was also surprisingly good. After eating and drinking in Qujing at noon, we walked to the Jiulong Waterfalls. When we arrived at the Jiulong Waterfalls, there were very few people in the scenic area. The Jiulong waterfall group is divided into the east gate and the west gate. The east gate is at the bottom of the mountain and the west gate is on the mountain. Many people suggest that if you drive by yourself, drive to the west gate to enter the scenic spot, go downhill along the waterfall and come out from the east gate, and then take a car operated by locals (10 yuan per person) at the east gate to pick up the car at the west gate. At that time, I forgot the reminder on the Internet and drove the car directly to the east gate, but then we took the cable car in the scenic spot (the cable car ticket is 30 yuan per person, and the ticket is not bought at the ticket office of the scenic spot but at the place where the cable car gets on and off.) Directly to The top viewing platform, and then walk down to the parking lot, this route is also good. And the cable car is also very unique. It was a bit late at that time, and our family took a car, and we also had the entire viewing platform to ourselves. We can take 360-degree shots at whatever we want, hahaha. . . When I got out of the scenic spot, I got in the car and caught up with the heavy rain. When I arrived at the hotel, the rain stopped, and everything was just right.
DAY4 Maling River Canyon Luoping-Xingyi-Bijie
The Maling River Canyon is a deep fissure in the orogenic movement, known as "a beautiful scar on the earth". , green bamboos hang upside down, caves are connected, and ancient and famous trees on both sides of the strait are dotted, in various poses and with different expressions.
Starting from Luoping in the morning to Malinghe Canyon, you have to pass the Jinji Peak Group, which is just beside the expressway, and you can see the Jinji Peak Group in the service area. Although there is no gorgeous picture of the golden ground between the peaks in the rapeseed season, you can feel the ups and downs of the mountains. The peak is as quiet as a landscape painting, and the viewing platform on the roof of the service area is empty at this time. Maybe in the season of rape blossoms, it should be full of various gun barrels of different lengths.
It was always cloudy when we set off from Luoping, and occasionally there was a little drizzle. We stayed in the Jinjifeng service area for a while. In addition, some things were left in the hotel and we went back to get them. It was delayed for a while. It was almost noon when we arrived at the Malinghe Canyon. Yes, the weather has just cleared up, and there is no need to line up at the entrance of the scenic spot. The notice posted at the entrance informs residents of Guangzhou and Hangzhou that tickets are 50% off. When entering the canyon, the sunlight became stronger and stronger, but walking in the canyon did not feel the sun and heat at all. The waterfalls and waterfalls in the canyon were strangely beautiful and fresh under the dazzling sunlight. It's getting dark, and the weather like this makes people feel that their character has exploded.
DAY 5 Return Bijie-Mianyang
Back to Mianyang from Bijie, the highway was unblocked, and I arrived home early in the afternoon, and the National Day journey was successfully concluded. There are no crowds along the way, and there are no various queues to wait. On the alpine grasslands, in the canyons, and in the waterfalls, there are laughter and laughter all the way, the mother is kind and the son is filial, and there is harmony. The only regret is that I didn't see the Beipanjiang Bridge, the highest bridge in the world! Before departure, his father wanted to take his children to see the Beipanjiang Bridge, the highest bridge in the world. After looking at the itinerary I made, he would pass by when he was walking from Malinghe Canyon to Bijie, so he came out from Malinghe At that time, we were staring at the navigation all the way to check the distance from the bridge at any time, so as to wake up the bear boy who fell asleep after getting out of the scenic spot and getting on the bus in advance, but when we were close to the bridge, the passing bridge was different from the pictures on the Internet. , Take a closer look at the navigation and it shows that it is the Beipanjiang Super Bridge, so I will be my mother immediately, unexpectedly! Actually! Beipanjiang Super Bridge and Beipanjiang Bridge are not the same bridge! ! ! The world's tallest bridge is called Beipanjiang Bridge, not Beipanjiang Super Bridge! Doesn’t the extra word “special” make it look bigger? Tens of thousands of horses ran in my heart, and then I looked at the location of the Beipanjiang Bridge. It is on the G56 highway next door. It was dark then, and I couldn't see anything, so I can only leave some regrets and go see it next time.
