※At the end there is a summary of travel, accommodation, meals, buying tickets, and play※
In the past few days, I read a farewell poem: "Get off the horse and drink your wine, and ask you where you are. Your words are not satisfactory, and you are drunk and lying on the South Mountain. But don't ask again, when the white clouds are endless." Feeling sad and desolate, coupled with the cold and humid winter in the magic city, I always feel dark and gloomy. Taking advantage of the unused annual leave, I thought it would be invalid when it expired. Socialism is not something I can tinker with in a day or two. I decided to find a place to stay for a few days and dream about it for a few days.
Personally paranoid, I don’t like the hustle and bustle, I think I’ve seen too much feasting and luxury, so I hope to find a more comfortable place, and I’m going to make a note of it—it’s not about literature and art, I just feel like pretending to be X in the city every day and watching others pretend to be X I have a little emotional conflict, so I want to find a place with few people to stretch around, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and live like a pig for a few days.
Thinking of "the hot spring day, the first month of severe frost", I originally planned to go across the ocean to Hokkaido. After I asked on the phone, I found out that there is now a strong invasion by Chinese people in winter. It is said that under the warm soup, the whole city speaks Chinese, and I feel dull . After a fierce operation, it was discovered that there is a Jianhe hot spring city in Guizhou known as "the bathing capital of the west and the holy water of the Miao family". It ranks first among the three famous springs in Guizhou. It is a rare radon-sulfur hot spring in China. It has health and health value. The local folk customs are simple and there are not many tourists, which is exactly what I want. After consulting with my friends in Guiyang, I decided to ask Miaojiang about it...
Shuri, direct flight to Guiyang Longdongbao Airport, the plane landed, towering buildings, complete facilities, criss-crossing rice fields, convenient transportation, new senses, thinking of Liu Bowen's prediction: In five hundred years, Yunnan and Guizhou will surpass the south of the Yangtze River. Doing the math, Liu Ji is really awesome for more than five hundred years. The so-called Yelang's arrogance and poor donkey's skills and other historical prejudices have been swept away.
Guiyang Airport
The car booked before boarding the plane was waiting at the arrival gate on time. It took 35 minutes to get to Guiyang North High-speed Railway Station, the fare was 60 yuan, and the one-hour high-speed train to Sansui fare was 100.5 yuan. After getting off the high-speed rail, it was getting dark. The pick-up bus at the Linsen Collection Theme Hotel (recommended by friends in Guiyang) that had been arranged in advance had already parked on the side of the road (50 yuan per person), and the proprietress picked it up in person. , along the way introduced the origin of Jianhe Hot Spring City and the customs and habits of many local Miao people, and gained a lot.
It turns out that Jianhe Hot Spring City is located in Wenquan Village, Censong Town, Jianhe County. The Wenquan Village is the second largest Miao village in Jianhe and is named for its hot springs. Most of the old houses in the village are more than 200 years old. They are traditional wooden buildings on stilts, built on the hillside. In a mountain depression 1.5 kilometers northwest of Miao Village, there was originally a vast rice field, with more than 10 springs interspersed with the rice fields. The local people have been spreading the custom of naked bathing for thousands of years (naked bathing was stopped in 2014). The Miao people in nearby villages, regardless of gender, love cleanliness and hygiene, and some people bathe almost every day. Even though some foreigners still peeped out of curiosity, their habit of bathing naked is still the same, and they never avoid taking a bath no matter day or night. Every year before the "Ying Ma Lang" festival of the Miao nationality, young men and women of the Miao nationality within a radius of tens of miles rush to the hot springs to bathe naked, dress themselves up beautifully, and participate in activities in the evening to find the person they like. Although the local people don't know what elements in the hot spring water are beneficial to the human body, they have always believed that the water in the hot spring is the holy water given to them by God. It can not only wash clothes, but also cure diseases. The villagers in the nearby water villages are also really Never had a skin disease. The proprietress told me that some retired foreigners stayed with her for a month or two to treat their skin diseases. In 2013, the Jianhe County Government began to promote the construction of the Jianhe Hot Spring City project, and the original rice fields became the current hot spring city with Miao and Dong style buildings in the scenic area.

After about 40 minutes, the car got off the expressway and entered Jianhe County, full of Miao and Dong style buildings.

Go east out of the county and enter the scenic spot through the north gate of Jianhe Hot Spring City Scenic Spot. Ten minutes later, the car parked steadily at the entrance of Linsen Collection Theme Hotel, which is next to Fengxiang Square in the scenic spot. The sculptures on Fengxiang Square are designed and built based on the legend of the "Mother Butterfly" of the Miao nationality. On weekends or holidays, there will be performances such as singing and dancing of the Miao nationality or special acrobatics on the square.

When I entered the hotel, I was really surprised, the hotel really has collections! It's not a gimmick that doesn't live up to the name. The spacious exhibition hall on the first floor is filled with masks, armors, bronze drums, embroidery and other old objects with strong ethnic characteristics. It is like a small museum. Every old object has a story and carries a history of ethnic minorities in Southwest China. The proprietress patiently explained to me, and also introduced the origin of the old objects. It turned out that the proprietress and his wife had been making antiques before. The boss’s hometown was in Hot Spring Village. The government built a hot spring city to replace the boss’s field. He invested in the construction of this hotel, and moved all the objects collected during his half-life to the hotel as a display, free for tourists to visit. The decoration of the hotel room is also full of ethnic characteristics, elegant and clean, no wonder my friend recommended it to me after staying once.

Sleep until you wake up naturally in the morning, wake up slowly, the sun is shining outside, the sky is transparent, the air is fresh, walk through Fengxiang Square, stroll among Miao and Dong style garden buildings, pavilions, pools, waterside pavilions, ancient maple Ancient pines, rockery and strange rocks, bonsai flower beds, vines and emerald bamboos, a sense of being out of the world is lingering around me leisurely, and the surrounding mountains are full of green eyes, which is so refreshing to my eyes and lungs. The circle, the body sweats slightly, I feel that every pore on the body is breathing heavily, the cells in the whole body are full of vitality, and there is a sense of transparency that has just come out of the furnace.

My stomach is already growling. I found a breakfast shop called Hongfenguan in the commercial street. I ordered rice noodles and zheergen. A bowl of rice noodles is 8 yuan. , because the leaves look like pig ears, Guizhou people eat the roots but not the leaves, so it is "the root of the broken leaves", so it is called "folded ear root". It is said that "SARS" did not occur in Guizhou because people here ate this stuff. I took a bite, and a strange smell hit my soul, and I didn't taste the "special aroma" that the locals call it. The owner of the restaurant told me that Zheergen should be eaten frequently, and I like it as soon as I eat it.

After breakfast, I went back to the hotel to pick up my swimsuit. The proprietress had already bought a hot spring ticket for me. The price was of course cheaper than buying it myself. If I can save money, I still need to save money. I bought a package ticket with a buffet, and I still have to taste the buffet inside for the first time. After walking through Fengxiang Square and the commercial street, I came to the hot spring reception hall, and I was a little excited that I could start "bubbling" soon.

Enter the dressing room and change into swimming trunks, take a shower and put on a bath towel, and follow the flow of people to the outdoors. Various hot spring pools are distributed among the shade of green trees. The green water of the pool runs around the forest like a green jade belt. I chose a pool with a low temperature and jumped into it. After getting used to it for a while, my body gradually stretched out. The mist was full of sulfur smell, and the pool was slippery to the touch. Even my skin was extremely smooth. I lay on my back Beside the pool, the sun above the head sprinkles the pool water between the leaf gaps, beams of water vapor are full of beams, and the graceful and elegant fairy spirit rises. Close your eyes, listen to the sound of spring water overflowing from the crevices along the pool, the singing of birds in the mountains, and your heart will float with your body.
Soaking from low-temperature pool to high-temperature pool, from downhill to uphill, from clear water pool to seedling medicine pool, from sunny to bright moon and starry sky, stay in the pool, drink tea or burn a cigarette, leisurely and leisurely Take a nap, in which there are all kinds of joy, which cannot be described by experience. The mobile phone is locked in a small locker, and we say goodbye to all worries for a while, and we meet each other frankly in the embrace of the open-air mountain col, and the mountains look like daisy from a distance, with a shadowy figure. Looking closely at the carved beams and painted buildings, it is like a dream, and you can enjoy the gift of nature. Everything is so peaceful, warm, serene and beautiful!

There are many things to do in Hot Spring City, but only the pool is my favorite. For three days, I spent leisurely time in the hot spring pool. After soaking in the hot spring every day, I walked out slowly, or went to a nearby Miao village to experience the daily life of the local Miao people, or went back to the hotel to have a cup of tea and watch Looking at the exhibits, talking about the mountains, it is perfect. I lived a life of bathing, eating, sleeping, and wandering every day. I spent a few days of graceful and soothing time. I completed my playing experience on all fours. I was able to empty my body and mind, and I felt fully charged. It was an extraordinary relaxation. Feelings arise spontaneously. Okay, so much nonsense, buddy, I have to continue pretending to be X...

◆Travel by car
Self-driving use navigation to search Jianhe Hot Spring City. Some maps are not fully marked. You can search for pre-booked hotels and you can reach them. It should be noted that after exiting the Jianhe Toll Station of the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway, there are two roads to Hot Spring City. One is after the toll gate, and the intersection goes straight through the south gate of Jianhe Hot Spring City to Hot Spring City; the other is after the toll gate. Turn left at the intersection, go through the north gate of Jianhe Hot Spring City and walk through the hot spring tunnel to Hot Spring City. It is recommended to take the North Gate route. Although the distance is a bit far, the roads are all newly built and it is easy to walk. The south gate route passes through the village, there are many pedestrians and children playing, the road conditions are complicated, and the car is not fast, but it takes less time to take the north gate route. Both the south gate and the north gate have the archway of Jianhe Hot Spring City, and the traffic is not restricted, and the car can drive to Fengxiang Square.
There are multiple parking lots in the Hot Spring City Scenic Area. Including the south and north gate parking lots, two parking lots near Fengxiang Square, and the parking spaces in front of each hotel. If the car is parked in the south and north gate parking lots, you need to take the shuttle bus provided by the hot spring city to go to the hot spring city. There is only a private parking lot near Fengxiang Square that charges 20 yuan for a car and 30 yuan for a large car for one day. It is suitable for tourists who do not stay in the hot spring city and leave directly after playing.

◆Public transportation
According to relevant news reports, Jianhe Hot Spring City has opened tourist through trains in Guiyang, Kaili, Sansui, and Huaihua, but I asked the staff in the hot spring city, and no one knew that there are direct buses to the hot spring city in these areas , it seems that the through train project has long since died.
There is a passenger bus in Jianhe County that goes directly to Fengxiang Square in Hot Spring City. You need to take the bus at the passenger station next to Jianhe Maternal and Child Health Hospital. The departure time is 6:20-18:50, 5 yuan per person.
If you take a taxi, it costs 30 yuan from Jianhe County to Fengxiang Square in Hot Spring City. Tourists from Guiyang, Kaili, Sansui and other places can only go to Jianhe County first, and then take a passenger bus or take a taxi to Hot Spring City.
From Hot Spring City to Jianhe County, the passenger bus departs from Fengxiang Square (return bus). If you take a taxi, the hotel can help you call a taxi. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for a taxi at Fengxiang Square to drop by Jianhe, 10 yuan per person.

If there are a lot of people playing, and they are more local tyrants, pursuing high-quality enjoyment, the hot spring city has a single-family villa with excellent privacy and an independent hot spring pool, which is suitable for parties.
If you are looking for cost-effectiveness, there are several better hotels next to Fengxiang Plaza.

【ticket】
The most expensive purchase of hot spring tickets is of course directly at the ticket office, followed by purchase at travel agencies, and the cheapest should be purchased from hotels around the hot springs and other purchase channels.
【eat】
The fish in sour soup and zheergen are must-eats. The compatriots of the Miao nationality love to eat sour food. In the Miao Village in Guizhou, there is a saying "If you don't eat sour food for three days, you will walk in circles" (described as walking weakly). Among the sour food dishes, the fish in sour soup is the most famous dish. Jianhe fish in sour soup has a pure taste. Wild river fish and Miaojia secret sour soup are quite appetizing. The per capita is about 70 yuan. It depends on what fish you choose. (I like yellow spicy diced). Zheergen may not be used to eating, but you must try it.
Miao Amei sour soup fish in Hot Spring City is still good, you can go to this store to taste it.
Jianhe also has ethnic specialties such as pickled fish, flattened beef, Ou storage vegetables, farting insects, and fragrant pigs with sword skin. If you are interested and have time, you can experience them.

◆Bring your own items such as swimsuits, swimming rings, and waterproof bags. If you don’t bring them, buying them at individual stores near Fengxiang Square is cheaper than buying them in the hot springs.
◆Business hours of hot springs
Generally: 10:00-23:30
Holidays are sometimes extended: 9:00-2:00 am
◆Before soaking in hot springs, you must take a bath to cleanse your body to keep the hot spring water hygienic and allow your body to adapt to the water temperature. In addition, washing away sweat stains on your skin makes it easier to absorb minerals in the spring water. Choose a hot spring pool with a suitable temperature for soaking, generally from warm to hot, soak for about 15 minutes each time, then go ashore for a short rest, and then soak in the high-temperature pool for no more than 10 minutes.
◆The night view of the hot spring pool is completely different from that during the day, so don't forget to experience it.
