If there is an afterlife, I will be a tree, standing forever, without joy or sorrow. Half of it is peaceful in the soil, half of it is flying in the wind, half of it is in the shade, half of it is bathed in the sun, very silent and very proud, never relying on, never looking for—from "Speak to Myself". In fact, every journey often precipitates a long-lost touch and the softest temperature in the heart during the journey. At this moment, I am waiting to meet you in Shuangshuang Guiyang...
Many times, we unknowingly give a lot of definitions to travel, but ignore the original meaning of travel. When going to a strange city, some people like to chat with the locals, integrate into the local customs, and taste local specialties. In their eyes, travel is more like an in-depth experience of local culture. In fact, every trip is not about how far you have traveled, nor how long you have traveled, but about what you have experienced?
The destination of this trip, I came to Guiyang, which is cool and refreshing, a paradise for summer vacation. This city, known as the "Summer Capital of China", has been here several times because of work, but because of time, I can't savor the city carefully. Famous cultural town—Qingyan Ancient Town; a must in central Guizhou—Tianhetan; beautiful scenery in the city—Qianlingshan Park; scenery of lakes and mountains—Guanshanhu Park; beautiful Kejia—Jiaxiu Tower; finally have time to experience it this time The beautiful scenery and cultural landscape of this beautiful city.
When I walked in the streets and alleys of Guiyang again, I felt that it was really "so comfortable" here. Ease may be the background color of Guiyang city. It is different from the modernity of the international metropolis of Shanghai, the majestic style of the imperial capital, and the exquisiteness of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is very relaxing and comfortable, and it is especially suitable for life. Isn't such a leisurely and bustling city exactly the state of life we long for infinitely? So I can't wait to start this journey of exploration immediately.
【You monkey, a journey of vitality with natural aura】
As for the first stop of the exploration, I will come to Qianlingshan Park, a bright pearl on the Guizhou Plateau, known as the first mountain in southern Guizhou, and a mountain with profound history and culture. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe Guiyang as "outstanding people". When you come to Guiyang, you must climb Qianling Mountain, Mingshan, Xiushui, and ancient temples. It is the only city park, and it is also the park that Guiyang people visit most often on weekends.
When I rushed over early in the morning, there were already many people queuing up at the gate of the park to enter the park. When I walked into the park, I found that many people had gathered: some grandpas were playing spinning tops and chess. There are old ladies singing, dancing and chatting happily. I can occasionally meet a few young people walking down the mountain, presumably they have watched a sunrise. Imagine being able to watch the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening, it is really romantic and cozy.
On the way to the park, I ran into a swan wandering in the water, which looked very comfortable. Swans like to live in groups in lakes and swamps, and mainly feed on aquatic plants, as well as some snails and molluscs. The white fluffy feathers are floating on the emerald green lake; the red soles are stirring the clear water waves. From a distance, it looks like the white clouds in the sky are reflected on the water, which complements the lake and mountains.
Let me introduce to you, there are generally two ways to climb to the top of Qianling Mountain. One is to hike up the winding mountain road like me, and the other is to take the cableway sightseeing cable car and go straight to the top of the mountain. During the period on the cable car, you should You can have a panoramic view of Guiyang; although the former is hard on foot, it can unlock the "hidden beauty" of Qianling Mountain.
I have to solemnly introduce to you that when you come to Qianlingshan Park, one of the things you must do is to search for traces of monkeys. If you come to Qianling Mountain Park and don't see the "owner" monkey of this mountain, then this visit to Qianling Mountain is almost worthless. You would never have guessed that there are more than 700 free-range macaques living in this verdant mountain, which can be called the overlord of this mountain. So when we first came to the park, we tried not to bring any food on hand. I heard that the monkeys here will fight for it. I saw a monkey just now, ready to snatch the food from the children, haha, it is really the "overlord" of blocking the way.
If you're lucky, you can see these lovely birds foraging around you at close range. They don't seem to be afraid of people at all. They fly and roll freely on this grass in groups of three or four. cute.
Although these macaques are full of wildness and often intercept tourists' food halfway, sometimes they also show a little cuteness unintentionally. It is this simple and cute cuteness that makes more tourists willing to interact with them and makes them Being able to run freely in this mountain is also the real master of this mountain. Qianlingshan Park, which is full of monkey fun, must be the first check-in point for starting a trip to Guiyang.
[In Guanshanhu Park, encounter the "green lung" of the city]
If you have watched the monkeys in Qianling Mountain, but still have more interest in the parks in Guiyang, then you must come to Guanshan Lake Park to feel it. It is a city park that you can't miss when you come to Guiyang.
When I walk into the park, I can feel the arrival of spring. At a glance, the garden is full of lush trees, lush greenery and a hundred flowers blooming. The air is fresh and nourishes the lungs, and the ecology is pleasant. After strolling around, Guanshanhu Park gave me the biggest feeling that the lakes and mountains are extremely beautiful. Compared with other parks, it is quiet and comfortable, and the green environment is beyond the reach of other parks.
It is said that Guanshan Lake and Jinshan Lake are separated on both sides of the road. You can reach Guanshan Lake Park by crossing the bridge from Jinshan Lake Park. On the bridge, you can see three huge Chaotian peppers. That is the "Pepper Square" of Guanshan Lake. , and the one featuring reliefs of famous ethnic groups is the National Square.
The fiery red leaves encountered on the road are particularly eye-catching in spring. After the epidemic, I hope that everyone's life, work, and travel can return to normal as soon as possible. I also wish everyone's life is like this red leaf, prosperous, happy and beautiful.
The park is covered with green grass and verdant trees. Containing all kinds of trees such as magnolia and sassafras, the forest resources are really extremely rich. The most interesting thing is that there are rare egrets in the park, which shows how good the ecological environment is here, and it deserves to be called the "green lung" of the city of Guiyang.
After walking around, I saw many people walking, running, and taking pictures, and I really met the side of leisure life. Look at this piece of clear water with rippling, sparkling and green grass. It is really a rare "green lung" in the city.
[Jia Xiu is tall and straight, with a century-old history]
Of course, as the most classic landmark in Guiyang, Jiaxiu Tower is definitely not to be missed! This building was built in the Ming Dynasty, the back building was destroyed and rebuilt, and it was renamed "Laifeng Pavilion". Everyone who comes to Guiyang must come to take pictures and check in, and I am no exception.
When I saw it for the first time, I really thought it was quite unique. Among the modern urban buildings, there was such a simple building standing there, but it didn't feel awkward at all.
It just stands on the Wanao aluminite in the Nanming River in Guiyang. From ancient times to the present, it is said that Jiaxiu Tower has undergone six large-scale repairs. After 400 years of wind and rain, it still stands tall. It is a witness of Guiyang's history and a symbol of Guiyang's cultural development history.
Jiaxiu Tower has three floors, with white stones as railings, which are drawn in layer by layer. It is more than 20 meters high from the bridge deck to the top of the building. It is a rare and quiet place in the busy city. You can see the night view of Nanming River from the tower. The quaint Jiaxiu Tower has become a fusion point of history, culture and modern civilization, shining with the light of history in modern civilization, exalting the spirit of "Jiaxiu all over the world".
Perhaps, Jiaxiu Tower is the eternal wealth left to us by the ancient city of Guiyang, and it is also the eternal scenery in our hearts. It represents the historical heritage of the city. If you understand it, you can understand the city's admiration for civilization. with longing.
[Youyou ancient town, not to be missed]
In Guiyang, there is an ancient town that combines history, humanities and natural scenery—Qingyan Ancient Town. It is a mountain legend for more than 600 years. There is a saying that "you are not a hero if you don't go to the Great Wall, and you haven't entered Guizhou without going to Qingyan." When you come to Guiyang, It is necessary to go to Qingyan Ancient Town to have a look, to taste delicious food.
Speaking of our mountain parks in Guizhou, there are 6 national 5A scenic spots, Huangguoshu Waterfall and Dragon Palace in Anshun City, Baili Rhododendron in Bijie City, Libo in Qiannan Prefecture, Fanjing Mountain in Tongren and Qingyan in Guiyang City. ancient town.
Qingyan Ancient Town began in 1378 AD. Walking into the ancient town, you can feel its exquisite design and exquisite craftsmanship. The ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties are densely intertwined, and the temples, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings.
According to records, 600 years ago, Qingyan was established in the local area. At that time, Qingyan was built for military use, so it was an ancient military town. The ancient architecture of the Qing Dynasty, if you look carefully, is quite flavorful. If you don’t feel the modernity of the people around you during your walk, you will be walking in the past.
In the town, there are historical relics such as the ruins of the "Qingyan Teaching Case" that shocked the world, Zhao Zhuangyuan's mansion, and the Red Army's Long March Headquarters.
With the passage of time, the ancient town has naturally gradually incorporated the content with a sense of the times. The most representative one is the food of Qingyan. I often bring children here to taste the food on weekends, and there are not a few families traveling. After all, the attraction of food is always strong.
Qingyan is most famous for its pork knuckles, which are stewed and soaked in attractive brine. The locals use a special fork to insert a hoof from the cauldron. The fresh and tender meat bounces every inch, which stimulates my taste buds. The big guy sat down and imitated the locals to eat with disposable gloves, dipped in Qingyan's unique double-flowered vinegar, the mouth was fat but not greasy, tender and juicy, it really made me want to stop.
And almost everyone who comes to Qingyan will bring back some of the most distinctive local chicken and spicy corners, which can be mixed with noodles, served with rice, or eaten for fun. The chicken is slow-cooked, spicy, delicious and chewy.
There are many delicacies in Qingyan that are suitable for children, such as rose ice powder, rose sugar, rose sauce, and very special cake porridge. Cake cake is very delicious and unique, and children like to eat it very much. Many Guiyang people drive their children to Qingyan on weekends just for a bowl of cake porridge here.
After tasting the delicacies, there are various shops in the ancient town, and people show their own craftsmanship. Guizhou produces silver ornaments, and in Qingyan Ancient Town, there are descendants of silver ornaments making on the street, and the silver ornaments they make are also very eye-catching.
These skills, for craftsmen, are a way to support themselves, and for us tourists, they are actually a kind of nourishment, nourishing our cognition, and looking back at ourselves, it is growth.
Before I went to Qingyan, a friend in Guiyang told me that Qingyan Ancient Town is especially suitable for bringing children to play. When I come here, I will know that my friend’s words are true, because Qingyan Ancient Town can bring satisfaction in all aspects of a family trip.
The antique Ming and Qing buildings and the stone roads with a sense of age are an excellent background for taking beautiful family photos, and it is also the best moment for parents and children to tell ancient stories. Handed down crafts and craftsmen, this dedicated spirit can not only teach children a lesson, but also increase some knowledge. The quaint buildings and simple folk customs here are an ancient town that allows me to savor and miss after I leave.
[Walk into the Tianhetan Scenic Area and see the great rivers and mountains in Guizhou]
After visiting Qingyan Ancient Town, you can also stop by Tianhetan Scenic Spot in Huaxi to see the great rivers and mountains in Guizhou. Tianhetan Scenic Area is located in Shiban Town, Huaxi District, Guiyang City, 24 kilometers away from Guiyang City. Based on the cultural tone of the multi-ethnic gathering place here, Tianhetan Scenic Area has built an ethnic style street outside the scenic area, using ethnic elements such as Fengyu Bridge, bronze drums, bonfire platforms, and totems, combined with chieftain architectural culture to create a large-scale tourist service center.
Since ancient times, Tianhetan has beautiful mountains and clear waters, pleasant climate, connected mountains and rivers, water in the mountains, caves in the water, and pools in the caves. In addition to enjoying the beautiful and colorful lakes and mountains and the magical karst cave landscape, you can also appreciate the cultural connotation contained in the scenery, which is really strange. It is a unique tourist attraction in central Guizhou. After playing for the past two days, Tianhetan is definitely an unforgettable part of my exploration trip.
Strolling slowly, here is the majesty of Huangguoshu Waterfall, the wonder of Dragon Palace and the beauty of Huaxi River. It is also a collection of waterfalls, clear springs, deep pools, strange rocks, strange holes and natural stone bridges. Cars, small bridges and flowing water, full of wildness, really quiet and pleasant.
After exploring all the way, the small waterfalls here are extremely beautiful, the big waterfalls are also majestic, the big water pools are bottomless, the small water pools are scattered, and there are cliffs in the distance, and swallows are flying.
But for me who loves to explore, the most exciting thing in the scenic spot is the cave exploration, which is divided into Kongling Cave and Galaxy Palace. The Kongling Cave is a water cave. We need to enter by boat. The whole field is 1200 meters long, the widest part is more than 80 meters, and the narrowest is only 2 meters. It can also be driven quickly and easily at the narrowest hole of only 2 meters.
We were amazed and cheered all the way, and met a variety of karst landscapes such as stalactites and stalagmites against the backdrop of lights. These achievements of time thousands of years ago have made this underwater world and romantic starry sky. At this moment, feeling the wonders inside the cave is like being in a dreamy fairyland. Therefore, when you come to Guiyang, you really don’t want to miss the Tianhetan Scenic Area. Walking here can really appreciate all the great rivers and mountains in Guizhou, and you will definitely be amazed.
[When you come to Guiyang, Guizhou, you must eat delicious food! 】
The city life atmosphere of old Guiyang, mottled walls, rusty iron gates, incomplete brick walls, moss in the wall cracks, dilapidated old houses, abandoned old sofas... Time seems to go back, coming to these streets, as if It is Guiyang that has traveled back to the old streets and alleys. It can be said that it is a must-see place to experience the nightlife of old Guiyang. Within a radius of less than two kilometers, there are many local delicacies hidden in Guiyang. Almost all kinds of snacks in Guiyang can be found on Radio Street, Minsheng Road, Wenbi Road, and Shengfu Road.
Recommended first vegetable delicacy: Siwa*. When eating, put a little bit of all the side dishes in the dough, and then wrap it like a child. It is precisely because of this way of wrapping the dough, and all the vegetables are shredded, so it is called Siwa* .
Side dishes generally include shredded cucumber, shredded radish, shredded celery, shredded tofu, shredded potato, shredded ear root, shredded kelp, shredded bracken, bean sprouts, shredded lotus flower, shredded carrot, shredded lettuce, cold noodles and so on. Finally, pour the chili water from the wrapped silk baby, let it soak in the flavor, and put it in your mouth. Now the chili water has original flavor and sour soup flavor. One bite into the mouth, it is authentic and more satisfying.
The second delicacy, sour soup, is also worth mentioning. Guizhou Kaili fish in sour soup is a very famous Guizhou dish. It takes a lot of effort to make sour soup. It is very popular and I love it. But in general life in Guizhou, it is estimated that the fish in sour soup is eaten once a month or two, but the probability of eating sour soup is once a week, especially in winter, two or three times a week is very likely.
Basically, the sour soup is the same as the sour soup of sour soup fish. Next, put all kinds of dishes you like in the sour soup and cook in hot pot. There are dozens of dishes to choose from. Meat and vegetables are the most recommended. Crispy pork, which is also a characteristic hot pot dish in Guizhou. If friends who don’t eat fish come to Guizhou and want to try sour soup, they can use sour soup hot pot instead. Finally, eat rice with sour soup. This is a favorite lunch and dinner for Guiyang people.
The third delicacy is Guiyang’s beef noodles, which are generally divided into braised beef and beef in clear soup. It takes more than ten hours to stew a pot of fragrant and full-bodied beef soup, and then mix it with seasonings to make a bowl of delicious beef. Greasy beef powder. With diced beef and beef slices, it's delicious!
The fourth delicacy is Guiyang Intestine Wang Noodles. Intestines are pig intestines and pig blood. They are mixed with spicy oil, crispy whistle, bean sprouts and chopped green onions. It looks like it is covered with red oil, but it is not greasy. It is not spicy, and the soup will be finished by many people. It is a noodle staple food unique to Guizhou, and it is a breakfast that Guizhou people love very much.
This morning, I got up early for this bowl of hot Changwang noodles. The ingredients seem to be very rich, including blood, pig intestines, crispy whistle, tofu, bean sprouts, etc., especially the pepper used And chili oil, is the essence of the whole bowl of Changwang noodles. According to the boss, the noodles used in the Changwang noodles are also a kind of Guizhou-style spring noodles that are completely different from the daily noodles. When paired together, they are refreshing, spicy, and not greasy. Its biggest feature is the noodles used, which are not available anywhere. It is not the noodles we usually eat, but extremely chewy and elastic noodles.
How can Guizhou lack spicy chicken? My fifth food recommendation is spicy chicken. Guiyang's spicy chicken is completely different from Sichuan's spicy chicken. Sichuan's spicy chicken is fried with dried skin and made with dried chili, which is crispy and spicy, while Guiyang's spicy chicken is not fried, keeping the tenderness of the chicken itself , the chili used is fried rice cake chili.
The uniqueness of the scenery is needless to say, one piece of land, one piece of scenery, just like the scenery in other places, the scenery in Guiyang is also unique and cannot be copied. Between so many continuous mountains, we don't know how many mysterious scenes remain to be discovered.
After returning from wandering, I understand the soul of every city. Maybe she is still poor in other places, but in my heart, the vitality contained in her and the power to stick to myself are incomparable.
If you want an instant trip, Guiyang is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, pleasant climate and beautiful ecological environment. The city is laid-back, inclusive, and the food and beauty abound. There are not only gurgling water and blue waves, but also a spiritual habitat in the bustling city.
In Guiyang, a city with a pleasant climate, there is no fast-paced life and no suffocating atmosphere. There are only beautiful mountains and rivers, simple customs and folk customs, and a comfortable "slow life". Walking along the Nanming River, drinking tea in Yibei Town, walking through the tree-lined trails, and staying by the Jiaxiu Tower are all pleasant moments you can feel in Guiyang.
Just rushing to the food in the streets and alleys, rushing to the cool summer, rushing to the countless mountains, rivers, canyons and caves here. I hope that everyone will fall in love with this comfortable and simple city of Guiyang in the mountains; this pearl on a high mountain, fall in love with this city flower of orchids, and fall in love with this mint-flavored Guiyang.
