Guizhou Guiyang Qingyan, Qiandongnan Basha, Huanggang, Xiaohuang, Jiabang Terraced Fields + Longli Ancient City, Tongren, Behind the Twelve of Zunyi, Chishui 10-day Travel Notes (Part 2)

D7 days

Guizhou has a vast land and abundant resources, the journey is relatively long, and the scenic spots are relatively large. Often, half of the day is spent in the car, and after getting off the bus to visit a scenic spot, you have to go to a hotel to stay. Today is no exception. Because I was more worried that Fanjing Mountain would be shrouded in thick fog, and I couldn’t see anything after going up the cableway, so I abandoned Fanjing Mountain and ran directly to the back of Zunyi’s Twelve. Depart at 8:30, go to Tuping for lunch, drive for 4 hours, and drive 300 kilometers. From here to the back of the 12th, you have to walk a 15-kilometer mountain road. The tourist scenic spot behind the 12th is located in Suiyang County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province. The first is the Shuanghe Cave National Geopark; the second is the Qingxi Gorge Scenic Spot; Seam Scenic Area. Judging from the online introduction and photos, Li Mengbo felt that the Shuanghe Cave and the underground cracks were more interesting, so he skipped the Qingxi Gorge Scenic Area. There are two layers of meaning behind the twelve, the first meaning: the combination of the twelve is a word for king, and the back of the king means the hidden king of scenery! The second level of meaning: Twelve can be understood as an adjective. If you score on a 10-point system, the scenery behind Twelve has "twelve points". It is conceivable that the beauty of the scenery is beyond your imagination; A very perfect auspicious number; behind, generally refers to the little-known original ecological beauty that has not been overexploited by mass tourism, the beauty behind it. Behind Twelve is the only virgin forest with complete ecology at 30° north latitude. Deep in the vast virgin forest, it is unfathomably deep and inaccessible. According to locals, this scenic spot has actually changed hands with several bosses, and the new boss advertised it as "Twelve Behind" after taking office.

Arrive at the underground crack scenic spot first. Tickets for these two scenic spots are not cheap, both cost more than 100 yuan, but tourists in the year of birth can go in for free, and the eco-car is charged separately. Xing hurriedly ran to the entrance of the underground crack scenic area, and was shut down in an instant. The gate was locked, and it closed at 13:30 in the afternoon? It's too early to close. I found a restaurant waiter and asked, it turns out that there are only 2 tour guides in this scenic spot. It takes 1 hour to go in and walk around, and they have to be brought in by the tour guide. I learned that the next time I enter the cave, I have to wait until 14:30, because there is a tour guide at that time. When the regiment arrives, you have to go in with them. Tencent then discussed with the tour guide at 156761530. I asked the tour guide to take me in alone. I will pay the fee. I will walk faster and come out in 45 minutes. It will not delay your reception of the next batch of tourists. Fortunately, the tour guide readily agreed and let me Save precious time. According to the literal meaning of underground cracks, there are large cracks in the cave. The cracks gradually widen from top to bottom, and only one person can pass sideways at the narrowest point, with a total length of 1,000 meters. The karst caves are divided into upper, middle and lower layers, and are connected with other karst caves through underground rivers. Inside the cave, there are karst landscapes such as curly stones, stone flowers, underground rivers, and waterfalls in the cave. This cave is really difficult to walk without a guide. Go in and turn right, go up, then go back the same way, turn left, go up half a circle, and then enter the place to see the crack, and finally exit the cave. Although it is a bit complicated to walk, it is actually in a small cave, turning around above and below, enjoying the wonders of stalactites from different directions. There is not much special about this cave. What impresses me more is the writing brush, bone spirit, Tang monk and his apprentice, and underground cracks. The cave is relatively small, and in many places only one person can walk at the same time. If there are many people, it must be crowded and crowded.

After leaving the underground crack scenic spot, go 3 kilometers forward to the Shuanghe cave scenic spot. The scale here is much larger than that of the underground crack. Take an eco-car for 2 kilometers to reach the cave hall and start exploring this magical world. The Shuanghe cave in Zunyi can be compared with Anshun's Zhijin Cave is comparable. Shuanghe Cave is the longest cave in China and the largest group of karst caves in China. It has a complex structure, water caves and dry caves coexist, and the depth exceeds 550 meters. It was rated as one of the "50 most worthy places for foreigners to visit in China" by the Global Times. Shuanghe Cave, a national geological park, has the latest detection length of 238.48 kilometers in 2018, making it the longest cave in Asia and the sixth longest cave in the world. It is the largest cave group in China. It is also "the world's longest dolomite cave" and "the world's largest lapis lazuli cave". The structure inside the cave is complex, water caves and dry caves coexist, and the depth is more than 550 meters. . Shuanghe cave is composed of three parts: underground valley, tiankeng and underground terraces. In the underground river valley, the stone walls have various shapes and beautiful textures, and the river water is green and deep, like the greatest art in the world. There are also rare cave creatures such as blind fish and wild salamander in the cave. The vegetation is lush on the straight cliffs around the Tiankeng, and the Tiankeng Waterfall cascades down from the top of the pit with a magnificent momentum. The huge "underground terraced field wonder" in the dry cave is amazing in scale, and it is also the largest karst cave terraced field landscape that suiyunzhuiyue66 (微-xing) has ever seen. In the underground terraces, you can also take an antique sightseeing car for an experiential tour, walk through the Shuanghe Gypsum Cave formed over 400 million years, and complete a time travel journey. Entering the underground river valley, you can see the huge cave with 7 or 8 floors high, the lighting arrangement is mainly yellow and blue, and the faint lights support the mystery and depth of the underground river valley, as if to tell tourists that there are many secrets waiting for you. explore. Compared with the stone steps of traditional caves, the caves here are more humane, all built with steel pipe scaffolding, which is more suitable for the elderly to visit, and most places can be passed by two people in parallel, thus avoiding congestion in the caves and poor. When you leave the cave, you will find the tiankeng. It is raining heavily outside, and you have to walk about 2 kilometers to reach the underground terraced field scenic area. Walking for half an hour, this time is very difficult, and you can see beautiful waterfalls on the way. Except for the Tiankeng scenic spot, the other two scenic spots are hidden in caves, and the valley is deep, so it is suitable for both sightseeing and taking pictures. The most beautiful scenic spot in the entire scenic spot is the last scenic spot in the "Underground Terraced Fields". Although there are serious man-made traces, it is still admirable. Only those who are obsessed with it can see it. Tour groups usually go back the same way after watching the underground river valley. It takes 3 hours to complete these scenic spots. It was already dark after exiting the cave, and we rushed directly to Zunyi City. Today is a very memorable and happy day. Shuanghe Cave is well-deserved!

Today, starting from downtown Zunyi, it takes 200 kilometers by car and takes 3 hours to go to Foguangyan Scenic Spot in Chishui City. There are Zunyi Conference Memorial Hall and Red Army Mountain in Zunyi City, because they have been here before, and because of the tight itinerary, they did not visit again. The road to Foguangyan is very flat, and you can reach the entrance of the scenic spot smoothly. The ticket office is also very impressive, with an underground parking lot and a large public toilet (the improvement of the quality of the scenic spot by the "toilet revolution" is obvious) here belongs to An important tourist destination in Sichuan Province, the parking lot is full of Sichuan buses. Foguangyan is the most tiring scenic spot in the entire Chishui City scenic spot. If you start from the point where the sightseeing bus gets off, it will take more than 10 kilometers to walk, but the scenery is relatively simple, mainly to see Foguangyan Waterfall and Wuzhu Peak. , as one of the important parts of the world heritage Danxia landform, Foguangyan is not to be missed, but considering that Li Mengbo will have a problem of physical strength, he has decisively given up the scenic spot of Wuzhufeng and used the remaining physical strength to appreciate it. Foguangyan Waterfall, the round trip is about 5 kilometers. Foguangyan has a cableway, but according to the feedback from netizens before, it will often be out of service, and today is no exception, so I can only go all the way up the stairs in the heavy rain. Foguangyan Scenic Spot (formerly known as Wuzhufeng Scenic Spot), the scenic spot is located in the area where Dalou Mountain and the Guizhou Plateau at the northern foot of the Guizhou Plateau subside sharply to the Sichuan Basin. Under the comprehensive physical and biochemical effects of gravity collapse, wind and rain intrusion, etc., strange Danxia landform landscapes such as pagoda, castle, needle, and column are formed. Danyan cliffs, strange peaks, rocks, and cliff caves abound. Shows a bright red color. Known as the "Crown of Danxia in the World", Foguangyan is arc-shaped, with an arc length of more than 1000 meters and a height of more than 300 meters. In the middle of Foguang Rock, there is a columnar waterfall more than 200 meters high and 40 meters wide, like a little white dragon flying down from the red clouds, elegant and handsome. Under the sunshine in the afternoon, Foguang Rock looks like a red glow, and the blood-red rock walls merge with the snow-white waterfall. Recommended shooting locations: one is under the waterfall, the other is the rock cavity, and the third is the viewing platform on the top of Foguang Rock; the best shooting time is from 4 to 6 pm, when the sun just shines on Foguang Rock.

On the road, we first passed the Cymbidium group, and there is a special Cymbidium scenic spot in Chishui. As far as I am a layman, I can see it. "King of ferns". Praise of the "King of Ferns". The stems of C. spinosa are upright, hollow, like a pen holder, and the leaves are spirally arranged on the top of the stems. It is the only woody fern that has been discovered. It is extremely precious and can be called a national treasure. It is listed as a national treasure by many countries The endangered plants under the first-class protection are known as "living fossils". Due to the antiquity and relict nature of Cyphiliaceae plants, it is of great value to the study of species formation and phytogeographical flora. It coexists with dinosaur fossils and reproduces dinosaurs. The paleo-ecological environment of the living period, the study of the rise and fall of dinosaurs, and geological changes have important reference value. Alsophila spinulosa is produced in Chishui, Guizhou, Tibet, and southern parts of China, and is found in Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines It is also distributed in southern Japan) and then you will pass the Jiuqu Bridge, and then you will go to the spaceship. Under the impact of the rain, it looks exactly like the one in the cartoon "Star Wars". The steps in the scenic spot are all red stone steps, so you have to be extra careful when walking in the rain. One kilometer further forward is the Lotus Terrace, which is actually the largest viewing platform in the scenic spot. You can look up at the Foguangyan Waterfall. There is a lot of rain in the depths, and the transpiration of clouds and mist refuses to dissipate for a long time. The entire outlet of the waterfall has been shrouded in clouds and mist, which is completely unreal. There are two viewing platforms on the upper part of the lotus platform, which allow you to get closer to the waterfall, but the water droplets falling down are very large, which can easily wet photographic equipment and mobile phones, and the place is small, so it is not suitable to stay for too long. There is a large plank road opposite the waterfall, and you can climb up the stone steps to capture different scenery. In addition, along this stone step, you need to go back and forth for 3 kilometers, that is, the round-trip distance from the eco-car to the Lianhua Terrace, and you can reach the viewing platform on the top of Foguangyan. The most famous promotional photos of the scenic spot are from there. , because of lack of physical strength, suiyunzhuiyue66 (micro-xing)
Abandoned this plan and can only leave it for next time. Braving the heavy rain, I returned to the pick-up point of the eco-car on the same road, and the rain stopped again. What a difference.

After leaving the scenic spot, it will be almost 15:45. The Foguangyan scenic spot is indeed the most energy-intensive and time-consuming scenic spot in the entire Chishui scenic spot. The next stop is today's accommodation - Bing'an Ancient Town, one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou (the four ancient towns in Guizhou are Qingyan Ancient Town, Zhenyuan Ancient Town, Longli Ancient Town, and Bing'an Ancient Town). It is actually very easy to find the ancient town of Bing'an, as long as you find the Red Army Bridge across the two banks on the Chishui River, there is the entrance of the ancient town. After crossing the Red Army Bridge and the Taiping Gate, you can see the only bluestone street in the town, about 400 meters long, which has been an important place for commodity trading since ancient times. There are local people selling local specialties and handicrafts on both sides of the street. The commercial atmosphere here is not very strong. I have never seen anything in the bar. It is a quiet ancient town. In the middle of the ancient town, you can visit the Memorial Hall of General Geng Biao and the Exhibition Hall of the First Red Army, where you can learn about the history of the Red Army crossing Chishui four times. When you walk to Dashun Store, you can leave the ancient town by going downhill and exiting Donghuamen. It takes about 30 minutes for the whole scenic spot to walk from the beginning to the end. In the front is a Shuanglong bridge, which was built in the Qing Dynasty and runs east-west. The bridge is 368 meters long and 1.7 meters wide. Walking through the narrow Shuanglong Bridge, you can see a Bing'an towpath, about 500 meters long, which is relatively well preserved. The entire towpath is paved with stone slabs of about 80X40 cm. Due to the age, the stone slabs are incomplete or broken. On the rock next to the towpath, there are two circular stone holes used for tying ships in ancient times, called Shidunzi and Shibi. At the end is the Xinbing'an Bridge, where there will be managers guarding the intersection. Today's accommodation is arranged in the Dashun store in the ancient town of Bing'an. Dinner is also settled in the ancient town. The white water fish is eaten here, made of fresh carp, which is very delicious and fragrant on the teeth and cheeks.

Today I slept until I woke up naturally, and I didn’t go out until 9 o’clock to go to the Sidonggou Scenic Area. The planning of Sidonggou Scenic Spot is very unreasonable. Problem 1: When you get off the bus at the scenic spot, many local people come up to sell it, saying that you can bring your private car into the scenic spot without tickets. I checked the strategy on the Internet before. First, they will bring tourists to their home to eat, and then charge high prices for the meal. Question 2: There is no one at the information counter in the ticket hall. There is a guide sign in the ticket hall of the scenic spot. I went to the entrance of the environmental protection car. After climbing up the escalator that was powered off, the boarding entrance was not allowed to get on the bus, nor was it I don't know why, but no one can explain it. Then there was another sign saying that the gate of the scenic spot was to go forward, and he was taken to a shop selling jewelry and emeralds. Question 3: After leaving the store, you have to walk 500 meters to get to another pick-up location for eco-cars. There were a few tour groups from Sichuan who came to Zhengzhi. First, there was no place to line up. Second, there were very few eco-friendly vehicles. It was impossible to transport so many people away in a short period of time, and there were not enough staff in the scenic spot. It is only 1 kilometer from the boarding point of the eco-car to the ticket gate of the scenic spot, but it takes a lot of time. At 11 o'clock, enter the gate of the scenic spot, and then walk 500 meters past a row of souvenir shops, which is the next pick-up point for the eco-car. There are finally queuing railings here, and there are not many people in the off-season. Get on the car directly and go to the core area of the scenic spot. After a lot of tossing, you finally arrive at the drop-off point for the eco-friendly car, and you can start the exploration tour of the scenic spot. The name of the scenic spot is Sidonggou, which means four waterfalls. If you take an eco-friendly car all the way, you can only see 2 waterfalls, namely Feiwa Waterfall and Bailong Waterfall. It takes 2 kilometers to walk from the drop-off point of the eco-car to Feiwa Waterfall, but the road in the scenic spot is flat, and it is much more convenient to walk than Foguangyan. At this time, the sky was drizzling again, just like yesterday's Foguangyan Scenic Area, there was no rain outside the scenic area, and the light rain in the scenic area was a joy. There are many bamboos in the scenic spot of Chishui, and from time to time you can see the scene of local people chopping bamboo on the roadside (Introduction to Sidonggou Scenic Spot: Shuiliandong Waterfall (one hole) is 31 meters high, hanging curtains, white gauze and silk, sound Like thunder, the momentum is overwhelming. "Shuilian Cave" is carved with three large red characters on the cliff wall, which makes the waterfall even more spectacular and magical. Moon Lake Waterfall (the second cave) is 43 meters wide and 26 meters high, and it looks as beautiful from a distance. The curved silver comb. Feiwaya waterfall (three holes) is 26 meters high and 43 meters wide. There is a huge stone in the upper reaches that looks like a giant elephant; It is a stone frog, as if a "snake" is chasing and eating a "stone frog". It is very interesting. It constitutes a "snake and frog playing in the water". 60 meters high and 23 meters wide, the sound of the waterfall is like thunder, filled with rain and mist, and the water flows straight down. Shaped like a giant frog) When you come to the viewing platform in front of the third cave, none of them are facing directly. You can only see the true face of Feiwaya Waterfall from the side. There is a sudden boulder in front of you, shaped like a giant frog. Despite the baptism of the rain, it remains motionless. There is a stone step road from the side of the waterfall, you can go up to the second floor, and see the calm appearance of Feiwaya Waterfall before it flows straight down. Walk about 1 kilometer further, and you will come to the end of the scenic spot, where the four caves - Bailongtan Waterfall is located. Because there are trees on both sides, you can only see the panorama of Bailongtan Waterfall by going to the viewing platform facing the waterfall. The viewing platform is about 50 meters away from the waterfall. Wet, 156761530 Tencent didn't feel good, so they stayed for a few minutes and quickly left, hiding in the viewing pavilion in the other direction. The entire scenic spot is a circular structure, and four waterfalls can be seen smoothly on both sides. Returning from the other side, passing Feiwaya Waterfall, this side can only see one side, but the place is narrower and can only be passed in a hurry. Go all the way down to the fork road, one side is to return to the boarding point of the environmental protection vehicle, and the other side can go down the mountain road to the waterfalls of the other two holes. Although it was late and I had to walk in the rain, I still chose to see the other two waterfalls hidden in the mountains and forests. As the staff of the scenic spot said, Moon Lake Waterfall (Second Cave) is relatively ordinary, and it is far away from tourists. The wide lake in front of the waterfall is obviously much weaker than Bailong Lake. There are few tourists in the second cave and the first cave, only some guests walking up the mountain, but there is a little more tranquility, and the rumbling sound can only be heard when approaching the waterfall. There is an entertainment project above the Shuiliandong Waterfall (a cave), where tourists can take a boat ride. Standing in the rest pavilion in front of the Shuiliandong Waterfall and looking up at the waterfall, I feel like thunder in my ears, very majestic, Chishui is not Fortunately, it is the "hometown of waterfalls". At this time, heavy rain poured in, and I left the scenic spot without staying for a long time. It takes 1.5 hours to walk from four holes to one hole. If you are in a hurry, you need to give up these two holes. Arrived at the parking lot of the scenic spot at 15:00, the rain stopped as soon as we left the scenic spot, and then drove to the last scenic spot in Chishui - Yanziyan.

Swallow Rock is located on a fork in the road to Chishui Waterfall. You have to cross a wooden bridge to find the ticket office. Yanziyan Forest Park consists of the South Garden (Philium spinosa Garden) and the North Garden (Colorful Garden). In the South Garden, there are rare relic plants hundreds of millions of years ago, "living fossil" alsophila spinulosa, and the plants are tall and strong; "husband and wife with two pedicles" alsophila spinulosa, three-pronged, two-pronged, dinosaur-shaped, twin sisters, and other abnormalities are also present. It's everywhere. Therefore, many experts and tourists regard the South Garden as the "Kingdom of Cymbidium spinosa", while tourists mainly go to the North Garden. As soon as you enter the scenic spot, you can take the cableway, which can go directly to the Yanziyan Waterfall at the end of the North Park, but it is out of service today, so you have no choice but to bite the bullet. There are stone steps in the scenic spot all the way. You need to walk for an hour to see the swallows Rock Waterfall. There is no scenery on the road. After arriving at the "Golden Turtle Watching Waterfall", it is not far from the end point. Then there are two viewing platforms. The viewing platform directly opposite is smaller, but it can take pictures with a three-dimensional effect; the viewing platform on the side is larger, and can take pictures of the waterfall and red Danxia together. Here is a tower about 80 meters high. The middle of the cliff is arched. In spring, hundreds of swallows nest here. Along the plank road of the large viewing platform, you can walk to the middle of the waterfall. The water of the waterfall is quite painful when you hit your face. You must prepare an umbrella in advance to avoid being drenched. Pass through the waterfall to reach the other side of the viewing platform, where you can take a closer look at the waterfall. There is another ring-shaped structure around the Yanziyan Waterfall. You can walk around along the plank road. There are still some small scenic spots on the top of the mountain to enjoy. But considering that it was already 16:00 and the sky was getting dark, Li Mengbo hurried down the mountain, and the gate was 17:00. Today's trip is over. There are many large and small scenic spots in Chishui, including: Bing'an Ancient Town, Datong Ancient Town, Chishui Waterfall, Swallow Rock, Foguang Rock, Sidonggou, Hongshiye Valley (Yangjiayan), plus some spots of Cymbidium spinosa. It takes 3 days to complete the circle, so if you want to take a quick look at the flowers, you also need to fully consider your physical strength to make a choice.

Depart at 8 o'clock, go to Guiyang, arrive in 5.5 hours, drive 400 kilometers. After lunch, head to Guiyang's landmark building - Jiaxiu Building at 15 o'clock. Parking here is not very convenient. Jiaxiu Tower is located on the Nanming River in the south of Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. It was built on the basis of a piece of Wanao aluminite in the river. In the Qing Dynasty, Jiaxiu Tower was rebuilt many times and its original name was restored. The existing building was rebuilt in the first year of Xuantong (1909). Jiaxiu Tower has three upper and lower floors (now only the first floor can be reached), with white stones as railings, which are retracted layer by layer, and the height from the bridge deck to the top of the building is about 20 meters. Nanming River flows through the front of the building and merges into Hanbitan. On the side of the building, the stone arch "Fuyu Bridge" connects the two banks, and the original small pavilion on the bridge is called "Hanbi Pavilion". Zhuliang Biwa in Jiaxiu Tower, surrounded by beautiful water and mountains, is worthy of its name, so it can be called Jiaxiu. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jiaxiu Tower has been a gathering place for literati and poets, and there are many inscriptions by high-level scholars. In the collection of ancient authentic stone carvings, wooden dishes, and famous calligraphy and painting works in the building, the 206-character long couplet written by Liu Yushan, Guiyang Hanlin in the Qing Dynasty is a masterpiece, which is 26 more than the long couplet of Kunming Sun Ranxi Grand View Building, which is known as the world's first long couplet. words.

Tourists to Guiyang usually come here to check in, so there are many people. Starting from the stone-wooden archway erected at the head of the Fuyu Bridge, we entered this 3A scenic spot. In the center of the stone-wooden archway, there are four characters "City South Remains". Jiaxiu Tower is a three-story, three-eaves and four-corner attic with a pointed roof. This structure is unique in the history of ancient Chinese architecture. Jiaxiu Building is divided into three parts: the first part is Fuyu Bridge; the second part is the main building of Jiaxiu Building; the third part is Cuiwei Garden. You need to queue up to enter Jiaxiu Tower. Only the first floor of the building is open to display some texts related to Jiaxiu Tower. In fact, the area of the building is very small. Not far ahead is the Cuiwei Garden. The original Cuiwei Garden was a temple and garden. After reconstruction, the temple building and the garden courtyard were integrated. The exhibition hall of Xiao Xian's calligraphy works was opened in the garden. Jiaxiu Tower is a rare and quiet place in the busy city. The inside of the scenic spot is antique, and the outside of the scenic spot is lined with high-rise buildings, which are brilliantly lit at night. After visiting Jiaxiu Tower, head to the airport for the return journey.
