Avoid the epidemic and travel: Shanghai-Guizhou in-depth self-driving series on the 8th - D4
Summary of prerequisites:
At the beginning of August, taking advantage of the fact that the epidemic had not yet spread, I took my wife and children and drove directly from Shanghai to Guizhou. But on the second day after arriving, I was told that all visitors from Shanghai had to provide a 48-hour nucleic acid report. I originally wanted to go to Zhaoxing, but I couldn't get in. In desperation, I had to go to Rongjiang County for a test. But it takes a day to wait, and before the results come out, no well-known scenic spots can be entered. what to do? It doesn't matter, the fieldwork in Guizhou these years has given me countless spare tires. In the morning after finishing the nucleic acid, I played for a long time in the ancient banyan group in the Sanbao Dong Village in the suburbs of Rongjiang County, and almost took over the entire scenic spot. For related travel notes, please see my previous reports.
What about the afternoon? Today's destination is Libo, the accommodation has been booked, and it is in the scenic spot, so you can't enter until the nucleic acid results come out. I always go to Libo. It is very convenient to drive on the Lirong Expressway. I just thought that there is a point not far from Libo on the way. There is an undeveloped scenic spot that most people don’t know. It is free and safe. It is Zhouqin Town, a little-known town, but I have been there a few times for work reasons, and I think it is not bad.
Zhou Tan belongs to Sandu County, Qiannan Prefecture, which is the only Shui Autonomous County in the country. It is estimated that not many people have heard of it. Although the Shui nationality has a small population, it is a nation with a long history and splendid culture, especially the horsetail embroidery, which is second to none. I will tell you about it separately in the future. This Zhouqin Town is a Buyi community in Shuizu County. The Buyi people are good at weaving plaid cloth, and their rice wine is also very delicious, not inferior to the famous Jiuqian wine nearby. It is said that more than 200 kinds of herbs are mixed and brewed. There are also male wine and female wine, which can nourish yin and strengthen yang. Get what you need.
Although Zhouqin Town is not big, it has two good attractions. One is Nongsuo Laozhai, known as "Little Taiwan". All stone-based brick buildings are very strong. One family is built on a slope, and there is a cliff behind it. There are many war stories.
There is also a relatively remote waterfall, the water is several feet high, like a golden bell, there is a deep pool under the waterfall, surrounded by fields. This is a scenic spot that only locals know. Last time I was also brought by a local friend, and there was no one there. Since I am traveling with a family with a baby, I still choose to go to the natural landscape waterfall to play, so that it is not easy for the children to have complaints. Besides, at noon, the water is still cooler.
What is the name of this waterfall, it seems that the locals do not have a unified statement. I can't find it on the map at all. Fortunately, I was careful when I came last time and marked it on the map. This time I just followed the navigation. Facts have proved that the navigation location marked in the mountain area is also inaccurate, because I couldn't find a suitable point at that time, so I randomly found one nearby, and the result was wrong. It took a long time to detour in the mountains by taking the wrong fork in different roads. Finally, I found the local folks and asked for the way several times before I found it.
The mountain roads in the country are quite narrow, sometimes turning up and sometimes turning down, but fortunately, the peaks are not high. There are many streams below the dam, which is a pastoral scene. After several twists and turns, the sound of the roaring waterfall can already be heard from a distance.
I thought this scenic spot was as empty as last time. When my wife and I said that this might be our private scenic spot, we found that there were already many private cars parked at the bridgehead, of course, most of them were expensive. We had to find another parking space. The mountain road is narrow and the traffic will not be affected. Finding a parking space is a bit of a hassle. It is true that people who have never driven mountain roads do not recommend coming alone.
In the car, we changed into swimsuits and trunks for the children, and we adults also changed into slippers, and then headed for the waterfall. The way to the waterfall is a narrow path, but the waterfall can already be seen from a distance.
The path is relatively easy to walk. Although it is narrow, it has been poured with cement, and drainage ditches have been dug on the side, which is crystal clear. You can wash your feet in the ditch with some sand in the slippers, how convenient! The afternoon sun was extremely violent, and after a while, the skin on the arms felt a little itchy. It can also be relieved by rubbing your arms with stream water, but fortunately, the waterfall is right in front of you.
There are still some shrubs along the way that will cover the road, so be careful not to be pulled by the serrated leaves. It seems that some new landscape plants have been planted on both sides, including hibiscus and tiger thorns. The flowers are blooming brilliantly in the sun, and it has a southern style.
When you walk in again, you will see a small dam. It is fun to walk around and looks good. With its presence, the water in the waterfall pool is deeper.
The water quality of the pool is good. Although it seems to be a little nutrient-rich, there are more algae, but there are also many small fish.
When I stood on the dam and looked at the waterfall again, I was stunned by the sight in front of me. I didn't expect people here to set up a sunshade by the water when they come to play at the waterfall. Isn't this too good at life? It seems that there are not many people in the past!
When he got closer, a smell of barbecue came to his nostrils. Good guy, Bashideban, the whole family sits under the tents one by one, putting their feet in the water, and having a barbecue happily! But I also wonder, is such a big tent transported from the city? Can't fit in a normal family car?
The children were drooling, but these people brought their own food, so they were closed! I can only go back to the car to get some snacks for the children to satisfy their hunger.
We can only play in the water ourselves! It seems that the closer you get to the waterfall, the deeper the water. The children are timid and only dare to swim in the shallow water area, but the water is really cool, which is especially refreshing.
Fortunately, there are many children, they don't want to eat, playing is more important. So we are not lonely or embarrassed, let's play in the water together! But after all, I didn’t have enough for lunch, the water was cold, and there were no shops nearby, so I was hungry after 4 o’clock. At this time, I wanted to hurry to Libo and have a good meal.
It is very close from Zhouqin to Libo, and it takes only half an hour. After getting off the expressway, I turned on my mobile phone and looked for food on a certain platform when I parked on the side of the road. Seeing that everyone's comments are very good, then be the first one! I ordered a set meal, and I saw that netizens bought the most. The amount of 138 yuan for 3 people is quite affordable, but after eating it, I feel that the quality of the dishes is not worthy of the first place. That is, the taste is still like a group meal, not like the flavor of individual customers.
The main dish, tofu fish, didn't taste that amazing - it was too salty and the fish was a bit old. As a result, none of them ate it, and I was the only one who ate it, and I didn't finish it anyway.
Rice tofu and rice flakes are my favorite, and this kind of dish is usually not too bad.
My wife couldn't eat that kind of fish, so I ordered another crispy pork. I couldn't help but try it after reading the comments from netizens. But in the end, I only ate half of it. Of course, I can't help her because I don't eat pork and I have to kill 2 catties of fish by myself. In the end, I didn't finish the fish and the meat. The two dishes were quite expensive, which is a pity.
Of course, there is a matter of personal taste and it may be somewhat subjective. But what made us upset was that halfway through the meal, a waiter came over and asked us to help review the good reviews, saying that there were rice flakes and other food to deliver. Firstly, we didn't think the main dishes were particularly delicious. Secondly, we already had rice slices on the table, so there was no need to give them away, so we were not happy to cooperate with her. We feel that the title of the number one review is mainly due to their inducing swiping orders, so I will never believe in the rankings of these platforms in the future.
After eating, the nucleic acid results hadn't come out yet, so I had to go around the county. Both sides of the main road in Libo County are full of king palms. The tall palm leaves like coconut trees bring a lot of southern flavor, which is very similar to Guangxi. Originally, there was an ancient city in the county seat, but the evaluation was not high, and the buildings were all antique, so there was no interest. So I drove to Zhangjiang Riverside Park to hang out, while constantly swiping my phone to check the nucleic acid results.
The scenery along the Zhangjiang River is not bad. The modern architecture, beach facilities and natural scenery are well integrated. Then I also saw the long-lost southern fruits, which are rare in Shanghai, so I bought some for everyone to try.
Millet banana is a very common variety of plantain in Libo and Guangxi. It is short and fat, and tastes sweet and sour. It is only 2 yuan per catty, right? I bought 10 yuan and ate for several days, satisfied.
There is also a kind of fruit that I believe that many northern friends have never seen before, that is the yellow skin. The skin is very thin, and the pulp inside is sour and sweet. The key is that a strong aroma is very attractive, but the seeds inside are not small. Due to the high sugar content, it will be sticky to the hands when peeling, so it is best to eat it where there is water. When selecting, pick out the ones that are yellowish and reddish. The green ones are usually underripe and will be very sour. We took two handfuls for 10 yuan, which was a good deal, and we ate them for several days.
At around 8:00, the nucleic acid result finally came down, and it was negative. At this time, I drove to the accommodation, and it was already dark. I stayed in the ancient village of Yaoshan, not far from Xiaoqikong. This is a folk village scenic spot built by the government. Friends who are engaged in cultural tourism have recommended it many times. There is a sketching base inside, which is also a place I want to focus on.
It was already very late when I arrived that day, so I could only wash and sleep, to predict what will happen next, and listen to the next chapter to break it down, welcome to pay attention...
