This waterfall is only more than ten meters high, with a funnel-shaped upper part and a trough-shaped molten pool at the bottom. The raised stone packs on the edge of the pool are like lotus leaves covering each other, interlaced and connected, and the river water spreads evenly on each leaf surface, flowing freely, like thousands of large and small silver chains. , and slowly fell into the melting pool with a soft voice, endlessly.

Phoenix Ancient Town:
The ancient city of Fenghuang is located in the southwest of Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. There is a mountain that resembles a phoenix flying with wings, so the ancient city got its name. Fenghuang is a gathering place of ethnic minorities mainly Miao and Tujia. It is 430 kilometers away from the provincial capital Changsha, a 5-hour drive, and 37 kilometers away from the nearest city Jishou, a 50-minute drive. Fenghuang is famous all over the world for Shen Congwen's novel "Border Town", and New Zealand writer Alley described it as "the most beautiful small town in China", which has attracted more attention. The bluestone streets in the ancient city, the wooden stilted buildings by the river, many ancient buildings, and the strong Miao customs constitute the unique flavor of Fenghuang. From "Border Town" to "Congwen's Autobiography" to "Xiangxing Sanji", Shen Congwen has created a wonderful scene of Wencheng with loose and charming words. Diaojiaolou, Chadong Street, Shengdu White Pagoda...the ancient city of Fenghuang in the hearts of millions of readers, the Fengyue of the border city in their dreams.
The introduction of scenic spots comes from the Internet.


Arriving at Guiyang East Railway Station just in time for the last express train to Jinyang Passenger Station at 18:00; after an hour of bumpy rides to the destination, the opposite of the station is "Guiyang Southwest International Trade City". Appliances and more.



Checking in the Guanshanhu Hotel near the trade city was a bit of a twist; I went to the hotel lobby on the 12th floor to consult the staff and said that there was no special room and only a room at 568 yuan. Later, we booked a room downstairs at 363 yuan, so we quickly booked a room online.


The morning of the second day in Guiyang

It takes about 2 hours by car from Guiyang Jinyang Bus Station to the gate of Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot in Anshun. After arriving at the station, the proprietress at the station was very enthusiastic to remind us not to take the shuttle bus at the scenic spot after buying the set ticket at the ticket office. It takes dozens of people to start the bus. It is much more convenient to take a taxi in the scenic spot, and the fare is 50 yuan; (Huangguoshu Waterfall is divided into three scenic spots - Tiansheng Bridge, Huangguoshu, and Doupo Pond. There is a distance between the scenic spots.)


Gao Laozhuang is such a beautiful place, no wonder Lao Zhu is unwilling to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures; it is a pity that we can't see Miss Gao either.


After Gao Laozhuang is the scenic spot worth visiting.

Its shape is like a bucket, its sound is like a song, and its shape is like a chain, so it is called Yinlian Zhuitan Waterfall; standing next to the waterfall is not willing to leave for a long time.



Coming out of Tianshengqiao Scenic Area, we can get on the bus directly at the entrance of the scenic spot with the taxi ticket we bought and take us to the next scenic spot; we don’t recognize the person or the car only by the ticket, and the staff will punch in the ticket to arrange a taxi, which greatly saves our money. time.



The escalator is not included in the scenic spot package, 30 yuan once. In order to save the time to go down to the waterfall, we chose to hike back down the elevator.



The mountains, rivers and waters of Guizhou...the mountains are surrounded by water and green, and the water is beautiful around the mountains



Hongquan flies far and wide, and there is a green rhinoceros running below.


The picture of the waterfall is like a painting, and the hanging current is uneven.

The grandeur and majesty cannot describe the beautiful scenery in front of me. It can only be expressed in two words-poor words.



Doupotang Waterfall, 1 km upstream of Huangguoshu Waterfall, is a scenic spot in the 85 edition of Journey to the West.


"You are carrying the burden, I am leading the horse..." Jiang Dawei's singing seems to be heard in my ears, and the picture of Tang Monk, master and apprentice walking slowly through the wide waterfall comes to mind.


Doupotang Waterfall is the scenic spot with the least traffic in Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area, and it feels a bit deserted.



In order to go to Jiangkou County conveniently the next day, our accommodation was set at Guiyang East Passenger Transport Station. I met a taxi driver who had a good chat and took us to find accommodation near the station, and then took us to the gate of the colorful Guizhou scenic spot.



The driver told us that after working hard for a few more years, he would change his career and bring a tour group by himself. He said that there are several places worth visiting near Guiyang, such as Qingyan Ancient Town, Yelang Valley, Colorful Guizhou, Guiyang’s iconic building Jiaxiu Tower, etc. He also said that we will come When I came to Guiyang, I wanted to try the famous local delicacy "Fish in Sour Soup"; just the night before, the person at my friend's house said that the local delicacy "Fish in Sour Soup" was worth trying, and we happened to come here.


Braised pork knuckles in Qingyan Ancient Town The taste is light, but the taste is not bad. Every place always has local specialty snacks, after all, there are not a few well-made snacks. But I heard that Qingyan Ancient Town has a long history of stewed pig's feet and is famous far and near, and there are foreigners who come to try it, so let's give it a try.



Guess what these are?


Bamboo worms, locusts, silkworm chrysalis
Seeing the silkworm chrysalis reminds me of my mother's difficult years of planting mulberry and raising silkworms when I was a child. I was especially afraid of taking the cocoon from the bamboo frame after cocooning.
When I took it off, ten fingers were scratched by the bamboo strip, and I still feel scared when I think about it.


The giant salamander is also called the giant salamander because its cry resembles a baby's cry. It is the largest and most precious amphibian in existence in the world. Commonly known as "big salamander fish", it comes from the taste of sansho. It is mainly distributed in the Yangtze River Basin and the tributaries of the Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of the Pearl River in China; it is a national second-class protected amphibious wild animal. Salamanders with more than two generations of artificial breeding can be eaten, developed and utilized. After the wild salamanders are bred, the first generation of salamanders that are artificially raised are not edible, and the next generation is called the second generation of salamanders, which is the "grandson" generation of salamanders. In other words, "grandfather" must not be eaten, and "father" cannot be eaten, only "grandson"; alas! Poor "grandson" generation salamander. But we don't even eat "grandchildren" because... can't afford it, lol! !



Tonight's main character is on the stage—Old Kaili Fish in Sour Soup


The lady brought it up and told us to cook it for 20 minutes before we could eat it. We invited the driver brother to have dinner with us, and he told us that the more the soup is cooked, the more sour it will become. It feels strange that four people who grew up in a place famous for producing Wenqing carp went to Guizhou to eat fish, but the fish was unexpectedly tender and delicious, thanks to the water source in Guizhou. Well, it has a little lemon flavor and A faint vanilla flavor, the fish soup is just a little sour at first, but the more you eat, the more sour it becomes. Hee hee... I didn't eat much, I drank three full bowls of soup.
After the meal, the driver brother proposed to take us to the snack street near Zhonghua Road in the urban area, and then take us back to the place where we stayed when we were tired.

We don't like snacks, so we look for fruit shops all over the street; we can eat less meat, but not less fruit.
On the morning of the third day, take a direct bus from Guiyang East Passenger Transport Station to Jiangkou County. The fare is 133 yuan, and the journey takes about 3.5 hours. Then take the bus to Mount Fanjing directly at the station.


Use the time before dinner to go to the ticket office to learn about the tickets for Fenjing Mountain and the train number to Fenghuang.



Fanjingshan ticket is 110 yuan, the cableway is 160 yuan, the sightseeing car is 20 yuan, WeChat scan code can be discounted by 20 yuan, and the last bus to Fenghuang is at 3 pm, which is a bit hasty. Carpooling to Fenghuang costs 80 yuan per person, and you can start with 6 people in a 7-seater car.


I can't forget the fish in sour soup last night. I also tried the fish in sour soup for dinner, but it was very average and a bit unappetizing. The soup is not called soup, but sauce is more suitable.


Day 4: Walk up Mount Fanjing

Five Kernel Mooncakes Published on 2018-5-28 10:17

Thanks. A portrait of Chairman Mao? ? ? There is such a saying? I'm ignorant. Hehe...say hello published on 2018-5-28 11:34

shocked


Thanks. Hey...just take a casual photo as a "visit here" souvenir.


The ticket hall starts selling tickets at 7:30, and the scenic spot opens at 8:00.


It takes about half an hour's drive from the sightseeing car to the cableway station. The Fanjingshan cableway starts from Yuao at the foot of the mountain and ends at Wanbaoyan on the top of the mountain. It has a total length of 3,500 meters and a drop of about 1,200 meters. The fastest running speed can reach 6 meters per second. , eight people can sit in the compartment at a time. The time is about 20 minutes. The clouds and mists in the middle of the mountain are misty, a bit like a visitor from outside the sky.



My Hometown Fanjing Mountain


Red Cloud Golden Summit into the clouds


Ten thousand steps on the ladder


wind and rain for thousands of years


My hometown Fanjingshan


Birds chirping, cicadas chirping, water gurgling


One Mountain and Thousand Streams Wulingyuan


The mountains are towering and the fog is lingering


My home.. Mount Fanjing..



Mount Fanjing has 7,896 steps in the whole journey (it hurts when you think about the old knee problem), and you have to walk about 2,000 steps after taking the cable car. Along the way, there are porters carrying sliding poles waiting for tourists to call.



Mushroom Stone The fog on the mountain is so thick that I can't see anything, and I feel a little sad and disappointed.



Barely took two pictures.



Old Jinding is 2,493 meters above sea level and is the second highest peak of Mount Fanjing. There is a small burning lamp hall built on the old golden roof, which is dedicated to the ancient Buddha burning lamp. Opposite the Lantern Temple is a platform with only a few square meters, which does not feel precipitous. It may be because the fog is so thick that the surrounding environment cannot be seen, haha...



who? Who put the splint here?



Walking down the steps with a protective net, it feels a bit like "please enter the urn".



The mountain wind blows clouds and mist, and it is estimated that it is a bit difficult to see the beautiful scenery. Thinking about wandering around this mountain today, I decided to split into two groups. Another friend who walked faster and I went to see the "October Pregnancy Tree". The two of them walked near the Red Cloud Golden Summit. Rest and rest, I hope that when the sun comes out at noon, the clouds and mists will disperse and you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery.


Thinking that it would not be a long journey to the "October Pregnancy Tree", I walked a long way from the Buddha Terrace along the road signs.


Looking up from the high cliff, it is more than 100 meters high, and there are large and small drops of water dripping from the cliff, like light rain.


When I met the staff who were repairing the plank road, I found out that it took an hour to walk to the "October Pregnancy Tree", and I burst into tears.




The azalea here is bright and charming in color, very watery, more gorgeous than the azalea in Tianlu Mountain, but the flowers are not as big as the azalea in Tianlu Mountain.



The moss is entangled, and the shade is lined with trees. The ancient trees on both sides are strangely shaped, showing the original ecology. It also shows that the ecological environment of Fenjing Mountain is well protected.



Just when I was walking to doubt my life, I saw two aunts cleaning the plank road. They said that the "October Pregnancy Tree" was not far ahead.


The nine trees are in the same body. The mother tree is a thousand-year-old cherry tree. There are many kinds of plants growing on the trunk, including rhododendron, Huaxi rowan, bell flower, hydrangea tree, etc. The roots of the child trees are all tied to the mother tree. In order to make the house full of children and grandchildren, the people nearby went to worship under the tree one after another, praying for more children and blessings, and a house full of gold and jade.
Thinking about going back for an hour, I didn't dare to stop.


A few cute little birds were chasing and playing on the branches, not afraid of people at all; the eyes of the little birds seemed to say: "Small, we are elves in Fanjing Mountain, and we are used to seeing big scenes; There are more people than birds you've seen."



I rushed back to the vicinity of the Buddhist altar. Sometimes it was sunny and sometimes foggy. I didn't care about rest and went straight to Pudu Square.



Looking at Hongyun Jinding from a distance, all the words describing grandeur and precipitousness poured out all at once, and in the end I couldn't use which one accurately, so I could only sigh deeply in my heart.



It is indeed the castle in the sky.



This dad also climbed the Red Cloud Golden Summit with his four-month-old child on his back.



Originally, the uphill and downhill roads were diverted, one side was the uphill road and the other was the downhill road, but because the downhill road was closed for maintenance, the one-way road up the mountain became a two-way road, and the narrow steps up the mountain became congested.



Sometimes people who want to avoid going down the mountain can only step aside and walk sideways. The iron chain will shake and lose strength, so they have to hold the pillar to avoid the crowd. I also saw a father carrying a one-year-old child down the mountain, and his scalp felt numb just looking at it. If he accidentally let go, the consequences would be disastrous.



An older sister in her 50s sang the mountain-climbing version of Ren Xianqi's "The Heart Is Too Soft" when she was avoiding abortion, "My feet are soft now, my feet are soft...". Haha, lovely eldest sister.



Walking up the steps slowly, the fairy mist is lingering under your feet, as if you are climbing a ladder to heaven. Looking up, there is a delicate bridge between the two tops. The golden dome is divided into left and right sides, the left side is the Sakyamuni Hall, surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is a slightly smaller area of ​​cliffs, and the right side is a larger area of ​​Maitreya Hall.



We stayed on Jinding for about half an hour, hoping that the strong wind would blow away the fog and let the sun show its face. I took the best position for a bird's-eye view of Cheng'en Temple. I saw several people waiting to take pictures with professional photography equipment, so I naturally gave up my position to them. They were carrying such heavy things just to take a satisfactory photo.



In front of Cheng'en Temple is Pudu Square. In November 2011, the cabin on the road next to Hongyun Jinding was struck by lightning.


Opposite the old golden roof and mushroom stone


Next to it is the Baizhang cliff, and the handsome police boy has to stand at the turning to maintain order.



Looking back at the castle in the sky again.


A friend who is a little weak in physical fitness and a little afraid of heights came to Pudu Square and saw the steepness of Hongyun Jinding. He sat at the foot of the mountain and looked at the mountain. After walking up and down, I immediately dispelled all fears, and successfully climbed to the top to experience the feeling of walking on the ladder.


I always feel that this mountain is like a melancholy gorilla staring into the distance.


On the way down the mountain in a sightseeing car, I was lucky to see a monkey on the side of the road, and it passed by before I could see it clearly. It was already 3:30 in the afternoon when we returned to the foot of the mountain, and it started to rain heavily as soon as we left the gate of the scenic spot. I found the driver from the night before, and bargained again for 400 yuan for a chartered car and went straight to the ancient city of Fenghuang.



Stepping into Fenghuang Ancient Town again after 6 years, I can only use the phrase "things are different" to describe my mood.



Familiar small streets and alleys, familiar wall monuments, but I can't get back the feeling of the past.



The ancient city of Fenghuang has gradually become familiar to people because of Shen Congwen's "Border Town". The ancient city of Fenghuang with a thousand-year history can still see many historical sites, ancient courtyards, unique stilted buildings, and the quietly flowing Tuojiang River.



My favorite is the night of Phoenix.



The stilted building we lived in that year.



Phoenix bar culture.



A tower made of purple sandstone.



Some people say that "the ancient city is elegant, quiet, and beautiful like a painting during the day, and the ancient city at night is like a lady, shining and charming!"
Bid farewell to Fenghuang Ancient City and transfer to Huaihua South Station. The environment of the homestay near Huaihua High-speed Railway South Station is not very ideal. I checked on the Internet that there is a "7 Days Premium Hotel" about one kilometer from the high-speed railway station. I immediately took a taxi and stayed there.


Return on the sixth day.


Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
Traveling is to go from a place where you are tired of staying to a place where others are bored; traveling is one of the great joys of life, it can broaden your knowledge, improve your understanding of nature and life; Money is called poor travel. As long as you travel within your own ability, everyone will have more or less gains when they return, or knowledge, or mentality, or emotion, or friendship; Opportunities to see and experience. Going to a bustling metropolis is to feel the prosperity of the city and the various forms of the world; going to a scenic spot is to appreciate the natural lakes and mountains; Some people say that "life is actually a journey, and travel is to experience different lives." Traveling is not only about the destination, but also about feeling the people and things along the way with your heart, and the memorable moments that happen to each other. .
