The end of the year is approaching, has the travel plan at least once a year come true? Every time this issue is mentioned, many people will say that they have no time to play and are very busy with work. Seeing that the married friends around me are busy taking care of the family and taking care of the children after marriage, there is no extra time.
After a busy year, it's time to take a short long vacation for ourselves, to release the tension in our daily life during the journey, and we will meet many interesting people and things along the way.
I originally planned to go to Tibet, but because I was too busy in the first half of the year, I missed the best season to go to Tibet, so I had to change the destination, and finally chose Lincheng----Guizhou.
Guizhou Province is located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and is a multi-ethnic province. Its minority population ranks third in the country after Guangxi and Yunnan. And Guizhou is also extremely rich in tourism resources. When I went there, it was already the off-season for tourism. Every time I went to a scenic spot, although the scenic spot was not overcrowded, there were countless tourist buses in the parking lot.
There are many scenic spots in Lincheng. Due to my limited time, I only have one week, so it is a pity that I did not go to some scenic spots, but only selected a few of them.
Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot, a national AAAAA scenic spot, the entire waterfall is 101 meters wide and 77.8 meters high. There are two ways to get to the big waterfall from the entrance of the scenic spot. One is to walk, about half an hour; the other is to take a large escalator (one way 30/person, round trip 50/person).
Behind the waterfall is the Water Curtain Cave. When going to the Water Curtain Cave, it is recommended to buy a raincoat before entering the scenic spot. There is a 10 yuan/piece for sale at the entrance of the scenic spot. Otherwise, there will be a lot of water dripping on the rock wall in the cave, and the umbrella cannot be fully opened. Clothes and hair get wet easily.
Doupotang Waterfall, compared to the grandeur of the Great Waterfall, is smaller and more delicate. It is the scene at the end of the 80 edition of "Journey to the West", so it is known to everyone.
Libo Scenic Area, praised by UNESCO as "the last emerald on the earth at the same latitude", is a national AAAAA scenic spot, divided into two scenic spots: "Libo Big Seven Holes" and "Libo Small Seven Holes". "Small Seven Holes" is the first ancient commercial road and ancient bridge connecting the friendship between Guizhou and Guizhou; "Big Seven Holes" has a steep and magical landscape, with primeval forest canyons, rivers, and underground rivers as the main body.
Growing up in the northwest, I am used to seeing real mountains and rivers, and I am more inclined to cultural landscapes and minority cultures, so I only went to a small seven-hole ancient bridge at that time, and I did not visit the big seven-hole bridge. But this does not mean that the scenery is not good. After all, it varies from person to person, and everyone has different preferences and needs.
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is most famous for its "Long Table Banquet". Taste a bowl of ancient sour soup, compose a toast song with high mountains and flowing water, and feel the rich and simple leisurely rural life of the Miao family.
It was already evening when we arrived at Miao Village. After eating the "Long Table Banquet", we took a sightseeing bus to the "Observation Deck" (5/person/time for one way) overlooking the night view of Miao Village.
Woke up early in the morning, after breakfast, walked the ancient streets and alleys, felt the long history and culture of the local area, enjoyed the idyllic scenery of "Xijiang Terraced Fields", watched "Diaojiaolou", and experienced the life of the Miao family. At that time, I wanted to live permanently in Miao Village should be such a happy thing.
We live in the "Chi You Tribe" in Miao Village. The location is very superior. Whether it is taking a sightseeing bus down the mountain or going to the viewing platform to overlook the whole Miao Village panorama, it is very convenient. The furniture used in the guest rooms is all handmade wood. system.
The entire Miao village is dominated by stilted buildings. The locals do not need to use rivets to fix the house structure, but use large and small wood to drill holes and inlay them. During the peak tourist season, the inn rooms in Miao Village cannot accommodate too many people. Some friends can only choose to live in Kaili and drive to Miao Village the next morning.
I went to Shanghai for a trip to Shanghai on the National Day of October, but I couldn’t book a hotel. The scenic spots were overcrowded, Nanjing Road was blocked, and even the Bund at ten o’clock in the evening was full of people. Will choose to travel.
I still remember that when we first arrived in Shanghai, we met a thief at the exit of the high-speed rail station. Fortunately, we were caught by the plainclothes police on the spot. I thought it was a scene in a TV series, but I didn’t expect it to happen. I went to the police station to do it. I made a record, and my memory is still fresh. Therefore, when we go out, we all must take good care of our belongings, and we must not be careless.
I have been to Luzhi Ancient Town, Mudu Ancient Town, Jinli Ancient Town, and Lijiang Ancient Town before. I have visited many ancient towns. My friend said that she thinks that the ancient towns in China are all similar, and there is no difference. But each ancient town has its own long history and culture and rich folk customs, not just any Internet celebrity spot I have been to and rushed to come here.
In the era of fast food, we do everything for simplicity, so that we almost forget some unique traditions and cultures of our nation.
The thousand-year-old town—Zhenyuan Ancient Town, you must take the local shuttle bus to enter the town, which is what we often call a bus. The entire ancient town is dominated by "Huizhou-style architecture", antique, with small bridges and flowing water.
Qingyan Ancient Town, a national AAAA scenic spot, was originally a military fortress with a history of more than 600 years. The ancient town is rich in humanities and rich in Guizhou special snacks, such as fish in sour soup, tofu balls, Qingyan braised pig's feet, cake porridge, silk dolls, etc. It is a paradise for "foodies". Walking through the streets, experiencing the history and culture of the ancient town, and tasting local specialties, it is simply not too happy.
Mount Fanjing------a Buddhist resort located in Tongren, originated from the "Pure Land of Brahma", belongs to the world natural heritage, a national nature reserve, and one of the top ten famous summer mountains in China.
At the ticket gate, you must transfer to a sightseeing bus up the mountain (about 10 kilometers, 20 yuan/person), and then transfer to the cableway up the mountain (about 20 minutes, 160 yuan/person for the round-trip cableway). These two items must be consumed, otherwise you cannot Arrive at the scenic spot.
The top of Mount Fanjing is divided into "Old Golden Summit" and "Red Cloud Golden Summit", and the iconic scenery is "Mushroom Stone". When I climbed the Mushroom Rock, I was amazed by the magic of nature. The mushroom-like boulder, even after being weathered for many years, still stands tall.
At that time, when climbing the "Red Cloud Golden Summit", some parts of the walking plank were almost vertical. Although there were wooden handrails and iron chains on both sides of the plank, some places were very narrow and could only be bent over and passed slowly. Before going up the mountain, it is recommended to buy double-lined gloves, which are sold at the entrance of the scenic spot, in case your hands are scratched. Mountaineering is not recommended for the elderly or if the knee joints and other parts are uncomfortable. It is difficult to go up the mountain, and it is even more difficult to go down the mountain.
Although the Golden Summit of Fanjing Mountain is far lower than the Yulong Snow Mountain in Yunnan, the moment you climb to the Golden Summit, you can breathe in the refreshing fresh air and experience the sanctity of the Brahma Pure Land.
Fanjingshan Scenic Area is different from other tourist attractions. To buy tickets, you must pay attention to the WeChat public account (Fanjingshan Eco-tourism Area) in advance to reserve tickets in advance with a real-name system. There is no ticket window on site. I still remember that when we checked in the tickets that day, we met many friends. We didn’t reserve tickets in advance, so we had to travel all the way for nothing.
Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area is a mountain-type scenic area with high altitude, large temperature difference, and unpredictable weather. You need to prepare thick clothes when going up the mountain. Patients with heart disease, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, etc. are not recommended to climb mountains due to their special physical conditions. After all, personal safety is the first priority when going out. Whether to climb to the top or not should be decided according to your actual situation.
Guizhou is located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The weather is unpredictable and it rains almost every day. Fortunately, we went to Fanjing Mountain that day. When we went out in the morning, it was foggy and the visibility was very low. When we climbed to the Golden Summit at noon, the sky was already clear. Wanli also saw the sea of clouds, very lucky.
Then we returned to Guiyang from Fanjing Mountain. The drive took about 5-6 hours. In the afternoon, we went to Qianling Mountain Park, which belongs to the national AAAA tourist attraction. Tickets are 5 yuan per person. As soon as I entered the south gate, I saw wild macaques, which are easy to scratch people. For your own safety, try not to provoke wild animals.
At that time, I heard from friends that Guizhou’s economy was backward and the accommodation conditions were average. We chose four-star hotels + five-star hotels, Xitian Hotel (Guiyang, four-star), Chiyou Tribe Inn (Xijiang Miao Village, four-star), Tongren State Guesthouse (Tongren, five-star), Yatian Hotel (Guiyang, five-star) and Alice International Hotel (Duyun, four-star). The breakfast is all buffet-style, with a variety of varieties, and the service attitude of the hotel front desk is also very good. The average price is around 260/room.
Alice International Hotel (Duyun)
As a girl, I still don't recommend traveling alone, after all, personal safety comes first.
Although traveling alone is good, there will be regrets in the end.
The purpose of traveling is to relax, put aside the unhappiness in life, enjoy the travel time, and use the camera to help us retain the beautiful moments.
Life is short, and time is very short. We must make full use of every day and face life with a positive and optimistic attitude, then life will also give us sunshine.
