Magnificent Mount Fanjing
The lights of thousands of families in Miao Township~
In the circle of friends, I saw my cousin posting a lot of photos taken while traveling in Guizhou~ It’s like a fairyland~ Suddenly I also have the idea of going to Guizhou for fun, and I haven’t traveled for a few years, so I should go out and feel the breath of nature. So I contacted my cousin and asked them how much they paid for traveling in Guizhou, and about food and housing. After learning about it, my cousin also told me that at the beginning they consulted online, and they were planning to play by themselves. Later, they knew that the scenic spots in Guizhou were far away, so they had to book hotels and tickets in advance. car rental etc. All the itineraries they hired from Guizhou tour guide Xiaoting to help customize, the money is not much, it is very easy to play along the way, and the food and accommodation are not bad. It is suggested that I also take this itinerary of their play. It is very comprehensive, and I have played all the essence of Guizhou's scenic spots. Later, he recommended Xiaoting's contact information on WeChat to me, and even called Xiaoting to explain that I was his cousin. After playing, as my cousin said, the itinerary was very easy and I had a lot of fun.
(About photography technology, this point has only been certified by a friend with super praise)
The purpose of writing this travel note is to leave a memory of time for myself, and share some beautiful photos with you by the way.
This itinerary was planned by Xiaoting according to her cousin's itinerary.

first day
When we arrived in Guiyang, the arranged pick-up driver was already waiting for us there. After the master received us, he was very enthusiastic to help us put our luggage, and introduced the story of Guiyang to us along the way. In an instant, I was full of expectations for the afternoon shopping trip in Guiyang city.
Go out from the hotel to Qianlingshan Park, and take a picture of Jiaxiu Tower. It is said that Jiaxiu Tower is not lit at night. After shopping for an hour, I go back to the hotel to rest. Tomorrow’s schedule must maintain sufficient energy haha
the next day
Depart early in the morning, the first scenic spot of this trip is Mount Fanjing
Mount Fanjing is the highest mountain in the southwest section of the Wuling Mountains, exposing the "texture" of the greenstone series of the Middle and Late Proterozoic. For hundreds of millions of years, the sea has changed, and it has experienced countless geological and ecological catastrophes. So far, it has sheltered more than 3,000 kinds of plants, thousands of animals, more than 200 kinds of birds, and fungi. There are also many relict creatures that survive here alone, and the most well-known one is the Guizhou golden monkey unique to Fanjing Mountain!
The gate of Fanjing Mountain seems to be trying to block the hustle and bustle of the world! Or pour the hustle and bustle of the mundane world into this quiet mountain?
Fanjing Mountain is a complex mountain with a vertical height difference of more than 2,000 meters. Therefore, obvious differences in the vertical distribution of vegetation can be seen. Gradually transition from broad-leaved forest belt to coniferous forest belt and then to high-speed shrub meadow belt.
Gradually approaching the top of the mountain, and gradually passing through the clouds. In the Pure Land of Brahma, the high-hanging cable cars are like notes dotted on the line score, looking up at the top of the mountain and overlooking the valley, the world changes in this movement.
There are more than 1,400 steps from the cable car station to the Mushroom Stone. The plank road passes through the tall and powerful century-old rhododendron forest. In April, May, and June, clusters of rhododendrons can bloom all over the trees.
The abruptness of Hongyun Jinding can be called strange, if there are waterfall-like flowing clouds passing by, it will be beautiful. Like Mushroom Stone, it is like a thick book of natural history stacked here.
Cheng'en Temple, formerly known as Shangcha Hall, is located between the new and old Jinding of Fanjing Mountain in Tongren, Guizhou.
Layers of mushroom stones are the symbol of Mount Fanjing. The pages of this natural history of 1.4 billion years are stacked here, but it is only a part of the natural epic of this blue planet in the vast universe. Mammals have "ruled" the earth for only 6,505 years, humans have been lucky enough to occupy the top of the ecological niche for more than 10,000 years, and the history of our civilization is only a few thousand years.
We are passers-by between the mountains, there are always some people who can't see the real face.
Dajinfo Temple is located at the foot of Fanjing Mountain and beside the Taiping River. In the temple, there is the world's largest "Golden Jade Maitreya Buddha Statue" which consumes 500 catties of gold and is inlaid with thousands of natural gemstones.
third day
Zhenyuan Ancient Town
Zhenyuan, an ancient city with a history of two thousand years, is located in a valley.
The most peaceful moment in the ancient city is in the early morning. The morning mist on the river, the moored fishing boats, the flying birds passing by the mountainside, the pavilions with upturned wings and eaves, carved beams and painted buildings are reflected in the clear water of Wuyang River. A traditional Chinese landscape painting is vivid on paper. superior.
Living by the water, boating on the river, living a poetic life.
Zhenyuan Shiping Mountain
To see the whole picture of the ancient city, you have to climb Shiping Mountain to the north of Zhusheng Bridge. Shiping Mountain is not high above sea level, and you can reach the top of the mountain by walking slowly for half an hour. Rising mountains wrap the ancient city of Zhenyuan in an oval valley. The wide and blue Wuyang River passes through the city in an S-shape. A series of distinctive residential buildings are built on both sides of the river. Mountains, water and the city form an Huge Tai Chi diagram.
Climbing Shiping Mountain and overlooking from a distance, Zhenyuan County is a huge Tai Chi diagram.
Zhenyuan City is run through by the Wuyang River, and Chinese and foreign tourists call it "Oriental Venice".
There is a mountain to the south of Zhusheng Bridge, and Qinglong Cave is built along the mountain. Temples of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism are built on the mountainside, and incense burns throughout the year. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a poet who praised the sun: Leaning on the railing, he did not dare to stand upright for a long time, and if he was afraid of Lingfeng, he would go to the sky.
Go through the ancient alleys of the ancient city behind the mountain. The ancient alleys in Zhenyuan, there are alleys in the alleys, there are springs in the alleys, there are wells in the alleys, there are ditches under the alleys, the alleys face the wharf, and the alleys lead to post roads. It is a scene of life in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The alleys follow the mountains and towns of Yuangu Town to climb up hills and turn around. Between the two high walls is an alleyway of only about one meter, which is entirely paved with bluestone slabs. The towering walls make the already narrow alleyway even darker and deeper. The most unique thing among the residential buildings in Zhenyuan is "creepy ways".
After returning, take a short rest, take pictures of the night scene, and then go to the very popular drunken rivers and lakes for dinner.
fourth day
The legendary Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is the largest gathering place of Miao Village in China.
Terraced fields, green hills, Amei, Diaojiaolou... Walking on the cobbled mountain road, you can feel the temperature of the entire Xijiang quietly.
Work at sunrise, rest at sunset,
Miao architecture, costumes, silver ornaments, language, food, and traditional customs are not only typical, but also well preserved.
The Miao people in Xijiang used to wear long robes and turbans, all of which were black in color, so they were called "black Miao" or "long skirt Miao".
Since entering the gate of Xijiang, one has to face an important thing: that is wine.
Banmen wine is an important custom of the Miao villages in Qiandongnan, Guizhou, and a unique way of welcoming guests in Miao villages.
However, it should be noted that the host should not touch the girl and the wine glass with his hand when toasting, otherwise he must drink up!
Xijiang Miao Village is a natural open-air museum, where the original ecological culture of the Miao people is preserved.
A street that showcases Miao culture. There are ancient silver jewelry workshops, embroidery workshops, Guzangtoujia, Huolutoujia, peasant painters, silver jewelry workshops, breweries, batik workshops, etc....... also A good place to learn about and experience Miao culture!
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village
Xijiang Miao Nationality Museum is located in the Jingnei Museum of Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. There are more than 1,220 pieces of Miao cultural relics and more than 350 representative pictures, portraits and books. Silver ornaments, Miao medicine, architecture, witch culture and religious beliefs show the uniqueness and diversity of Miao culture, and are the grand stands for researching and understanding Miao culture.
Thousand household lights
To appreciate the night view of thousands of household lights in Miao Village in the world, you must reserve a seat at 7 o'clock at the latest. Generally, you can choose the viewing platform or a row of inns or hotels in front of the viewing platform. Basically, ten minutes around 7:30 is the best shooting time, and you can see the shocking dynamic lighting process of the entire Miao Village!
Wanjia lights are really beautiful
fifth day
The scenic spot we are going to visit today is Xiaoqikong~ It is said that it is called Jiuzhaigou
Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot is located in the southwest of Libo County, Guizhou, 28 kilometers away from the county seat and 36 kilometers away from Mawei Railway Station. At the north end of the scenic spot, there is an ancient Xiaoqikong bridge built in the 15th year of Daoguang (1836), so the name of the scenic spot is derived from it. Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot has the reputation of "super bonsai" in a long and narrow valley with a width of only 1 km and a length of 12 km. The scenic spots that have been opened to tourists include Tonggu Bridge, Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge, Hanbitan, Laya Waterfall, 68-level waterfall, Wild Duck Pond, Guibei Mountain, Yilongxi Jiuzhu, Feiyun Cave, Wild Boar Forest, Water Forest, Wolong Lake, etc.
The Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge was built in the 15th year of Daoguang. It was the main traffic route to Guangxi business travelers in ancient times.
This is the small seven holes in the legend. I think its color is very beautiful. Whether it is a bridge, a tree, or a calm water surface, they seem to be one. The little moss on the bridge, I also integrated into this beautiful scenery, as if I entered the painting.
The lake under the bridge is secluded with orchids, and the ancient trees on both sides are luxuriant, which sets off the elegance and tranquility of the ancient bridge.
The lush path is dotted with peach blossoms.
Walking and walking, I saw the first waterfall in Xiaoqikong - Laya Waterfall.
The waterfall here is very different from the Huangguoshu Waterfall. It flows down from the mountains and trees.
68-level drop waterfall
The upstream of Hanbitan is 1.6 kilometers long. In the narrow valley, along the high and low riverbed, there are 68 waterfalls and drops. The 68-level drop waterfall got its name.
I like the 68-level waterfall section the most, and it is also the longest walking section. I took off my shoes and waded across the water
I read such a passage on the Internet when I checked the strategy before I went.
Along the river valley with cascading waterfalls, you can only see high mountains and flowing water, green trees and red flowers all the way, but when you hear the sound of springs and waterfalls, birds chirping and insects singing, you will immediately think of Boya and Ziqi's friends and anecdotes, and feel poetic and beautiful in front of you. .
water forest
Green Valley Waterfall
It is not far to walk from the water forest to Cuigu Waterfall, and you can also stay in the upper lagoon. No one is so nice! Why! Raiders did not do well
Compared with the majestic Huangguoshu, Xiaoqikong's waterfall is really in step with Xiaojiabiyu.
Like a jade belt among the greenery, the waves splash and the water mist lingers.
Wolongtan has arrived!
Emerald green leaf rain curtain. There is an illusion of being in Jiuzhai!
Foggy and rainy, fairy air fluttering!
The pool water is deep and blue, this place is born for water and beautiful because of water
My best friend and I were the only two on the slippery mountain road, looking at the vines and leaves while walking, and sighing at the fairy-like Wolongtan.
It seems that all things are attracted by this deep orchid and become still, and I hope this orchid can also stay in my heart.
The drizzle is flying, and the rain dew hangs on the branches, clearing the heart and lungs.
The simple and unsophisticated small seven-hole bridge, the soft and quiet Hanbitan, the flying Laya Waterfall, the 68-level waterfall interlaced with pools and waterfalls, the water forest interspersed with forest streams, and the deep blue Wolong Lake have been engraved in my heart. .
sixth day
Departure from Libo to Huangguoshu Waterfall
Arrive at Huangguoshu at about 9:30, the first scenic spot is Steep Pond.
Doupotang Waterfall, this is not the first time I have seen a waterfall. The waterfall is not high, giving people a sense of generosity and solidity.
The most famous is the location of the old version of "Journey to the West". At the end, the waterfall that the master and apprentice walked through is the Doupotang Waterfall.
A trickle of water, carrying stones down, passing moss, still returns to the water.
Bamboo shadows sway on the shore.
How can there be no bridge without water!
"I heard the sound of water roaring in the distance, looking north from the gap, suddenly there was water rushing down from the cliffs in the northeastern mountain armpit, and smashed into the deep abyss, but I saw that the top was white and wide, and the snow was gushing through the sky, but I didn't see it below. Cut off, it is separated by the opposite cliff." This is Xu Xiake's description of Doupotang Waterfall in "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes".
Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area
The second stop, Tianxing Bridge, is not big. In my opinion, this is a feast of nature, a symphony of water, stones and vines.
stone and water
The stone forest on the water is named after it. During the dry season, the water volume is small, but the few people are the most important thing to me.
stone and tree
stone and seam
The boulder is named—Ethereal
This is the work of the wind, the work of the water, and the work of the years.
The Entanglement of Roots and Stones
I also saw such a scene in Angkor Wat, Cambodia, but at that time I thought of fighting.
Now I feel that a huge change has taken place, and this should be rooted in the everlasting love for Shi.
where is the root
Huangguoshu Waterfall
The third stop - Huangguoshu, here I come
Bonsai Garden in Huangguoshu
The entanglement of vines and stones
first sight waterfall
A little closer, the dry season does not have the majestic momentum of flying down three thousand feet, but it is enough to give out repeated admiration!
Huangguoshu Waterfall can be enjoyed in 360 degrees.
Walking to the other side, we are about to reach the Water Curtain Cave, and we are already a little tired from climbing.
from the side to the front
The people in the water curtain cave behind the waterfall can be vaguely seen.
Climbing to a high place, looking down, it makes sense that aerial photography is becoming more and more popular, God's perspective

looking out through the gauzy water
end of journey~
During the week in Guizhou, I saw the colorful Guizhou land and felt the simplicity and enthusiasm of Miao’s sister. Every experience was fresh and perfect. Goodbye Guizhou!
