2020.7.30---8.4
The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted the whole world and my global travel plans. The world is so chaotic, China is considered a pure land. Therefore, if we want to travel now, we can only focus on domestic travel. Guizhou is a province in the southwest. Its beauty and its mystery still attract me very much. There was a plan to drive around and see his style. But being suffocated by the long-term epidemic, I first reported a break-up group online. Fly from Ningbo to Guiyang on July 30, and enjoy the scenery of Guizhou and Guiyang by taking a quick tour. Although it is only a five-day tour, it is still a feast for the eyes and a lot of rewards, which is worth remembering.
1 Libo Xiaoqikong and Huangguoshu Waterfall
Guizhou is a plateau area with an average altitude of 1,100 meters. The whole province has eight mountains, one river and one field. The mountain road is winding, the scenic spots are scattered, and a lot of time is spent on the bus. Looking out of the window, you can see the continuous green mountains and thousands of peaks, which is a typical karst landform. Rich and pretty. The bend is connected with the tunnel, and the tall building is next to the green peak. White clouds surround the peaks, and the blue sky reflects green onions.
Although the mountains and peaks are beautiful, the water in Guizhou is also amazing. Our first scenic spot is Libo Xiaoqikong in Qiannan. There are mountain peaks, forests, waterfalls, lakes and wetlands. But his soul is water. Walking along the plank road at the entrance, there will always be a clear spring accompanying you, which will make you feel refreshed. Arriving at Wolongtan, the clear water of the lake will make people rippling. Under the high mountains, beside the beautiful bamboos, there are quiet clear waters and rich colors. If the girl is shy, she can't help taking pictures frequently. Going forward, the roaring roar shook the valley. It turns out that under the lake is a huge arc-shaped overhanging wall, where the lake water swarms down, forming a wide crescent-shaped waterfall. The lake water above is emerald green and smooth. The waterfall below is like pure Bailian, and its sound is like thunder. One green, one white, one still and one moving, I was so intoxicated that I couldn't bear to move.
Follow the water to Cuigu Waterfall. The flowing water is gurgling all the way, and the mountains are reflected in the open area, just like a landscape map of Guilin. Cuigu Waterfall comes from among the high mountains, gushing out like a Milky Way falling from the sky. How many people are attracted to stop and admire, and how many families enter the water to play? We walked into the water forest. When you drill into the forest, you can hear the refreshing sound of running water. Winding and twisting, through the woods, around the rocks, or flying waterfalls, or rolling in angry waves. It is a flowing note. Mottled light and shadow, fresh breath. One step at a time, full of tranquility and poetic flavor. No matter whispering by the water or chanting with a glass by the spring, it is all fascinating.
Shishang Forest flows down the Xiangshui River. At this time, the water surface is wide and magnificent. Accompanied by the peaks or waterfalls or waterfalls on both sides, there is always a scenery. The river rolled down, quite imposing. One layer and one waterfall form a total of 68 falling waterfalls with different scenery. The majesty is too attractive. It's a pity that there was a sudden thunder, the situation changed suddenly, and the sunshine above turned into billowing dark clouds. There was nowhere to hide from the sudden rain, and people became miserable and drowned. But there are also brave young people who dare to take pictures in the rushing river in the rain. I praise them for their freedom and ease! Walking along the waterfall all the way, the eyes are always attracted by the flying Xiangshui River. This road is infinite water scenery. As a result, even if it rains all over, there is no complaint or regret. Seeing the famous small seven-hole bridge, I feel that it does not have the momentum and scenery of falling waterfalls.
Huangguoshu Waterfall is the most resounding business card in Guizhou and the largest waterfall in Asia, located in the southwest of Anshun. Arriving at Huangguoshu (a local tree that bears yellow fruit), we first arranged to visit the Tianxing Lake Scenic Area, which is an appetizer. Although it is also a good place for leisure and leisure, although it is also a place with exquisite peaks and strange rocks, winding paths leading to secluded places. But because of the crowds, there is no feeling at all. It is also because everyone is eagerly looking forward to the Great Falls, except that Wushan is not a cloud. After a lap, the Tianxin Lake Scenic Area was rejected by everyone. In order to fully appreciate the Great Falls. After requesting to cancel the scenic spot behind, stay in the Great Falls to enjoy it.
Huangguoshu Waterfall is in the mountains, on the Baishui River. Surrounded by mountains and peaks, the momentum is extraordinary. As the scenic spot gradually deepened, the waterfall was not seen because of the shade of trees, and the sound came first. The sound of the roaring waterfall came from afar. Walking down the viewing platforms step by step and facing the big waterfall, you feel both shocking and magnificent. On the high mountainside ahead. A stream of Baichuan poured out. A white line more than 30 meters wide hangs in front of the mountain like a giant white wall. The sound is like thunder, and the mist is like rain. Sufficient water volume, high drop (66 meters), falling into the deep pool, pushing the high and low waterfalls below to the distance. Under the sunny blue sky, the waterfall is as white as white jade, and the pool is as green as emerald. Roaring and splashing, rushing to the distance, one after another spectacular and beautiful pictures. The magnificent and wonderful pictures always make people stop and stare. When you are still full of ideas, go back to the viewing platform directly opposite to enjoy it up close. Although I was splashed by the mist of the opposite waterfall, it was refreshing. The first waterfall in China is well-deserved!
Two Famous Buddhist Mountains Fanjing Mountain
Fanjing Mountain is located in Tongren City in the northeast of Guizhou, with an altitude of 2494 meters. It is the ashram of the Laughing Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, and it is also a scenic spot that we attach great importance to during this trip. But I heard that going up the mountain is not easy. Overcrowded, unpredictable weather. Often people leave regret. Of course, I have a Buddhist relationship, so luck follows me.
Get ready and get up early. We live next to the scenic spot, so we can go up the mountain at seven o'clock. Now to control the flow of people during the epidemic, there are more verifications and code scanning. Take the scenic car all the way up the bend. The clear spring water is gurgling down, accompanying it by the side. Then take the cable car slowly across the peaks. The air is clear and the color is bright, with auspicious clouds blooming. Finally, go up slowly along the stone steps, which is also a test of physical fitness. Although it is a bit tiring, there is sound in the clear stream, the clouds and mist accompany it, the leaves shine through the shadows of the trees, and the peaks and rocks are stylish. The scenery along the way is not only exercise but also enjoyment. Arrived at the viewing platform without knowing it.
Wow! It is sunny and blue sky. There are white clouds rushing here, and mountains dancing on the other side. The golden roofs on both sides are black rocks, pointing to the sky, and there are faint temples on the top. The clouds are floating everywhere, wanting to hide and appear. Full of aura and immortality. The viewing platform is also a high ground, with several pillars of mushroom stones, which are strange and beautiful. The scenery can be seen for thousands of miles. Fanjing Mountain, the Brahma Pure Land, has a view everywhere, and its name is well-deserved. A pilgrimage to Buddha requires sincerity and perseverance. Dare to go to the Golden Summit is also a test. We walked towards the Red Cloud Golden Summit. The golden dome towers above the ground, with a height of more than 100 meters, surrounded by cliffs. Climbing to the top requires the use of both hands and feet, and climbing with the help of ropes. The stone steps are steep and narrow, allowing only one person to pass. First climb vertically, and then walk through a cliff and sky gap, with a sky bridge on the top. Climbing to the Golden Summit, you can relax and concentrate, leaning on the stone to look at the sky, leaning on the railing to look into the distance, and concentrating on meditation. Understand life and let go of yourself. Appreciate the beautiful scenery and cleanse the soul. The harvest is full, thank you Buddha!

Three Miao villages and ancient towns
There are many villages in Guizhou. Because of the inconvenient transportation and blockage, many ancient towns, small villages and many distinctive ethnic minority villages have been preserved and become characteristic. We are taking the classic scenic spots, at most it is superficial. During this tour, we visited Zhenyuan Ancient Town, Qingyan Ancient Town and Qianhu Miao Village. Zhenyuan Ancient Town, located in the southeast of Guizhou Province, is a place with a long history. But we only have two hours. So just look at the scenery and not the old feelings. The ancient town is surrounded by mountains, and the winding Wuyang River winds through it. On an ancient porous stone bridge over the river, a pavilion with three eaves and flying corners stands proudly. You can have a panoramic view of strange peaks and rivers; folk houses and pavilions; willow boats and boats. They are all pictures of ancient rhyme landscapes full of charming scenery. It has the charm of the ancient city of Fenghuang. Of course, in terms of scale and refinement, Fenghuang is even better.
Qingyan Ancient Town is one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou, located in the southern suburb of Guiyang City. Alleys and streets intersect and alleys meet, not a straight street. The main street is lively, the alleys are quiet, and there are many historic sites. Of course, we can only take a quick look at the flowers, superficially. The building is exquisite and has ancient charm. The tour guide told that they were basically built later, not the original appearance. I don't think so. Copy the original building and reproduce the former style. Although it is less original, is it not a kind of preservation and inheritance?
What left a deep impression on people was the Qianhu Miao Village. Qianhu Miao Village is located in Leishan County in the southeast of Guizhou Province. There are ten villages built along the mountains connected together. It is the largest Miao village in China. Unfortunately, it is said that this place is no longer the real residence of the Miao people. I arrived at Qianhu Miao Village in the evening. The buildings with white double eaves are very characteristic. In the sunset, the silhouette of the glow is very beautiful. Dinner is a long table hot pot full of traditional flavor of Miao Village. It is very lively, and there are Miao youths playing the Lusheng toast etiquette.
Thousands of Miao villages have scale and characteristics. There are different scenery during the day and night. The main scenic spot is along the side of a river passing through the village, and there are a total of seven bridges with different characteristics. The Miao villages are connected with each other, and the corners of the eaves are flying. Rows of stilted buildings and other buildings have their own characteristics and are exquisite. At night, the lights are everywhere, and the lights and shadows of the buildings, bridges, and flowing water are beautiful and have a different style. Taking advantage of the cool breeze, you can stroll in the street or whisper by the river. Since they are all built against the mountains here, they are all layered on top of each other, and it seems to be full of stars in the night light. Looking up during the day is the city in the sky.
The most beautiful scenery is in the morning. At breakfast, some group members said that the morning sun on the observation deck at the top of the mountain is beautiful. Because we live on the mountain, the viewing platform on the top of the mountain is not far away, so we hurried up the mountain. Ascending to the viewing platform, it was amazing. The mountains are layer upon layer, the cooking smoke is light, and the clouds are blurred. Overlooking the layers of Miao villages in the clouds and smoke, beside the bushes, the corners of the cornices are changing. The mountain is in the misty place, and the village is in the clouds. Immortal energy is rippling, what a beautiful word!

Four summary
Although the time for this trip to Guizhou is not long, but they are all big-name attractions, and I still feel that I have gained a lot. I am used to self-guided or high-end tours, but I generally feel that this kind of individual travel group is also quite good, and the cost is also low. In addition to arranging a day and a half of shopping to waste precious time and the blunt and alternative tour guide, which is not very pleasant, the overall arrangement is okay. Accommodation, pick-up and drop-off are also better. It shows that the tourism market in Guizhou is relatively mature, and you can travel with confidence in the future.
Shopping is also an adventure. On our last day, shopping in Jewelry City in Lianjianggu was very strange. The simplicity, loveliness and sincerity of the Taiwanese proprietress touched everyone's hearts and won everyone's welcome. They took the initiative to shop and even made friends, which became a good story.
In fact, there are many tourist spots with ethnic customs and characteristics in Guizhou, and here are just a few classic spots. We are also in a hurry to test the waters. I hope to go to Guizhou in the future for a more enjoyable self-driving tour or free travel, flattening the mountains and rivers of Guizhou, and enjoying the scenery of Guizhou.
