I went to the Northwest at the end of September. Since the epidemic has not completely ended, I wanted to take a walk around while there were fewer people. I went to Guizhou with my unit more than ten years ago, but my wife, Mr. Zhao, has never been there, so why not review it with him again. Check the strategy, check the air ticket, and book the itinerary. The child can't leave Beijing for college, so our old couple will take a trip as soon as we say it.
This trip did not arrange Dongzhai, Zunyi, Chishui. The reason is that I have participated in a panoramic tour of Guizhou. My feeling is that going to too many places with the same scenery at one time will cause aesthetic fatigue. It is better to leave some space and experience it again when I have time, otherwise I will live up to the beautiful scenery. After two years, I will say There may be new scenic spots being developed.

There are direct buses to Qingyan Ancient Town and Tianhetan, and there are airport buses. The disadvantage is also terrible, there are cockroaches! It may be that the house is relatively old, but I was quite concerned about this. I didn't turn off the lights all night, lest Xiaoqiang would come out and scare people. This store is not recommended.

(4) Transportation
1. In Beijing: I live near the West Railway Station. The outbound flight is at Daxing Airport, using underground transportation. The West Railway Station takes the second-class seat C2721 at 18:50, and arrives at Daxing Airport at 19:20. The fare is 30 yuan per person. This is a direct train from West Railway Station to Daxing Airport. The first train is at 06:56, the last train is at 21:46, and the interval between each train is about 2 hours; the first train in the opposite direction is at 08:20, and the last train is at 22:50. My return trip is at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital Airport. Because it is early in the morning and there is no public transportation, most people can only take taxis, so the waiting time is longer.
2. In Guiyang City:
A. The payment method of the bus: one is coin-operated, most of the buses have a one-ticket system, 2 yuan, some are 3 yuan, 4 yuan; the other way is to download "Cloud QuickPass" and scan the code pay. "Union QuickPass" does not support many bank cards, and only Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China are commonly used.
B. Scenic through train: It is recommended to download the mini-program "Qian Shuang Bus" in WeChat. You can book in advance without changing the ticket. Ask the ticket inspector to click "ticket inspection" when you get on the train. You can also scan the code to buy the ticket before getting on the train. The departure point is the square in front of the railway station, and the through ticket to Qingyan Ancient Town and Tianhetan Park The price is 10 yuan per person for a one-way trip. The webpage shows 15 yuan. Click to buy a ticket, and it is 10 yuan after entering. There are two departures to Qingyan Ancient Town every day, 10:00 and 12:00, and the return journey is from 10:30 to 18:30, every hour, and the whole journey takes 1 hour; Tianhetan Park only has cars on Saturdays and Sundays and only One class, the outbound journey is at 10:00, and the return journey is at 15:30. The whole journey takes 40 minutes. There is also a bus on the square to Qingyan Ancient Town, the fare is 2 yuan, the whole journey takes 2 hours, and there are many passengers.
C. Taxi: It is recommended to use "Didi Taxi". The reasons will be explained in detail later.
3. Transportation between scenic spots in Guizhou Province: Download "Good Travel Scenic Spot Through Train" on WeChat, and group tour on the second day
A. Round-trip ticket from Guiyang to Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot: 90 yuan per person. Depart from the old passenger station at No. 32, West Yan’an Road at 07:00 on the outbound journey, arrive at the scenic spot in about 2.5 hours, and get on the bus at the parking lot of Huangguoquan Waterfall Scenic Spot at 16:00 on the return journey.

C. Guiyang to Xiaoqikong and Qianhu Miao Village for a two-day tour, 538 yuan per person; Guiyang to Zhenyuan and Fanjing Mountain for a two-day tour, 368 yuan per person. Neither shopping.
(5) Weather
The weather in Guizhou is known as "the sky is not sunny for three days", and the few days I went there were all sunny, thank God! The daily maximum temperature in many places is above 20 degrees, only Fanjing Mountain is slightly cooler. The clothes are basically a long-sleeved base layer and a thicker coat. Generally, the coat can't be worn after noon. I wore a light down jacket when watching the night scene in Miao Village and Zhenyuan. Fanjing Mountain wore a down jacket during the day, but it was very hot when climbing the mountain. Beautiful women who love to take pictures can wear more thin ones and less thick ones.
(6), health code, ID card
The health code is a new friend this year. The first thing you need to do when you check into a hotel in Guiyang is to download a "Guiyang Health Code". After returning to Beijing, the health code in Beijing will no longer be available. You must submit your itinerary in time to obtain a new green code.
The ID card must be carried with you. You need to swipe your ID card when you take a train, fly, check in, or enter a scenic spot. Most scenic spots do not have paper tickets, and you need to swipe your ID card and face.
(7) About group tours
I booked two two-day tours on the website of "One Yard Tour Guizhou". The reason for the itinerary is to intersperse scenery with different characteristics. For example, there are waterfalls in Xiaoqikong, Huangguoshu, and Tianhetan. Swap Tianhe Lake and Zhijin Cave. If you don’t want to book a trip in advance, it’s very convenient to book after arriving in Guiyang. The Nanxiang Hotel where I stayed has a youth hostel, and there is also a travel agency counter in the tourist distribution center at the old passenger station. The price is basically the same as the one I quoted online. The tour is basically Huangguoshu on the first day, followed by Xiaoqikong, Miao Village, Zhenyuan, Fanjing Mountain, 1250 yuan for four days, no shopping, the tour fee is basically the same as that of me, but it can save a day.
If you are traveling with four people, it is best to rent a car and drive yourself in the scenic spots near Guiyang, which is convenient and has unlimited time, such as Zhijin Cave and Huangguoshu.
(8) Tour guide
During this trip, I met four tour guides, one male and three female. The first is a male tour guide, Libo + Miao Village; the second is Zhenyuan + Fanjing Mountain; the third is Huangguoshu; the fourth is Zhijin Cave. Only the second person sells the car on the return trip, and it is not mandatory to buy it. Each tour guide contacted by phone the night before the tour, added WeChat, informed the gathering time, place, car number and other information, and gave explanations on the way, all of which made sense. What was more surprising was that the tour guide of Zhijin Cave was afraid that there would not be enough food for lunch, so he took the initiative to add another dish.
(9) Guizhou Cuisine
There are a lot of food recommended on the Internet, but you have to be in a mood to eat. There are so many people in Qingyan that I don’t even want to see it, let alone eat it. Special recommendations for this trip are shrimp mutton noodles and fish noodles in sour soup. In the back street of Nanxiang Hotel at night, there is a middle-aged woman selling tofu balls, which taste better than the regular stalls, and they are sold by the individual, 1.5 yuan each. Other snacks will be mentioned later.
3. Specific itinerary
Day 1 Beijing → Guiyang
After exiting the station and entering the airport, Daxing Airport check-in is very convenient. It can be done both underground and upstairs. I did it at the self-service machine on the ground floor. I printed a manual luggage tag, and the staff helped me, so I don’t have to worry about not being able to use it.
Day 2 Guiyang→Qingyan Ancient Town→Huaxi Park→Guiyang
Arrived at Guiyang Airport in the early morning. Due to the delay of the plane, the airport bus has run out, so we can only take a taxi. The location of the online car-hailing service is unknown on the signboard at the airport, but when we arrived at the taxi stand, it was a mess! It feels like a fake rental, asking you where to go, and then saying the price. It is clearly stipulated on the big sign that carpooling pays 70% of the fare. This is the first time I have seen it.
I went to the train station and asked for a price of 50 yuan. I asked if there was no need to use the meter. The driver thought about it for a while, and he could use the meter. I got in the car and stopped after walking a few meters. There was a car in front and asked the driver how many people were in the car. Two people wanted to carpool. So the driver stopped the car and opened the door for us to get in without asking any questions. I quickly asked him how to settle the fare, and the answer was to reduce the fare by 10 yuan. The driver did turn on the meter after getting in the car, but he took a detour. Who doesn't know how to use a navigation when going out now? When I arrived at the train station, it happened to show 50 yuan. The two carpoolers paid 15 yuan each, and I paid 40 yuan back. Even if you pay 70%, you still pay more than carpoolers. So, never take a taxi, call a taxi with Didi!
Scan the health code at the hotel to check in, ask the waiter the payment method for local public transportation, wash and sleep.
When I was doing the strategy, I only knew that there were buses and through trains to Qingyan in the train station square. I didn’t know the specific situation, so I didn’t rush to go out. I woke up naturally and downloaded "Union Quick Pay". Mr. Zhao’s card was not applicable, so I could only use cash Fortunately, we prepared 20 yuan and one yuan coins in advance.
I went out at 9:30 and ate the first local breakfast in Guiyang, "Dianxiao Erchangwang Noodles". I asked for vegetarian noodles, Mr. Zhao ate Changwang noodles, a total of 16 yuan.
When we arrived at the train station square, there was indeed a bus to Qingyan. It may be because today is Sunday and there are too many people queuing up. It takes 2 hours to get to Qingyan. Look for the through train, on the other side of the square, there is a QR code on the stop sign, scan the code to install "Qian Shuang Bus", click in and see, the first bus at 10:00 has just left, and the next bus will be at 12 :00. It doesn't matter, buy the ticket first, and then go shopping at the nearby Erqi Road Snack Street. Due to my carelessness, the ticket was bought at 10:00, and the refund showed that it would take 7 days to arrive in the account, so I bought it at 12:00. When you buy tickets, pay attention that in addition to choosing the date, you must also choose the specific time. When taking the bus, make an appointment to visit and buy tickets.
Check the health code at the entrance of the scenic spot, and when you go to the ticket office, there is no self-service machine for ticket exchange as mentioned by netizens, only manual ticket sales. I bought a ticket on "One Yard Tour Guizhou". After going to the window, the staff registered and gave me a paper ticket to enter. Because it is a package ticket, it needs to be stamped when entering a small scenic spot.
There are too many people in the ancient town. The main street is full of people. The commercial atmosphere in the town is too strong. There are shops selling pig’s trotters next to each other. There are many people talking about Qingyan food on the Internet, so I won’t stop I repeat, I recommend a pickle shop, which has various flavors of pickled radishes and tofu in sauce, you can taste it, the taste is quite good, the price is higher, and it is packed in small jars, suitable for giving away. At that time, because it was the first day in Guizhou, it was inconvenient to buy and carry around, so I didn't buy it, and I didn't see it again later.
The feeling of Qingyan Ancient Town is: 5A scenic spot, if you don’t talk about it, it’s just like that, there are no surprises. The main reason is that there are too many people, so I am too lazy to look carefully. Leaving the scenic spot at 3:20 in the afternoon, there are still many people taking the bus. Huaxi Park is on the same line as Qingyan Ancient Town. We plan to take a bus from Qingyan to Huaxi Park. Because it's not too far away, you don't have to wait for a seat, just leave when you come to the car. Tall comrades, please note that the handrails of the buses in Guiyang are a bit low, and Mr. Zhao, who is about 1.8 meters tall, was bumped on the head several times.
Arrive at Huaxi Park at about 4:00 pm, and buy a ticket at the ticket office, 3 yuan per person. There are mostly local people inside, and the garden is not big. It is slightly different from the 4A scenic spot in my impression, but it is still worthy of the ticket price.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, go out of the garden to eat the Huaxi Feiwan beef noodles recommended on the Internet. My sense of direction is negative, so I won't talk about how to get there. Mr. Zhao took me through the alleys and it was not far.
Taking the bus from Huaxi, there are many people and few vehicles, so Mr. Zhao temporarily decided to change the route and take another bus to the indoor commercial street in Zhongshan West Road Station of Rail Transit Line 1. According to the online introduction, this Tianmu Street is divided into five style areas: Jiangnan Style, Chinatown, Japanese-style Turkey, and European Style. It is the first indoor Tianmu Commercial Street in Guiyang. snowflakes blowing out. When we arrived at 19:30, the snow spray was gone, and the sky was not long, but it was still very beautiful.
I'm a little tired from walking, take a rest and eat something. There is a chain store of "Siliansi Doll" here. I didn't know this brand at the time, so I missed it.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, the tour guide of Libo + Miao Village called to inform the meeting place for the next day. Meet at the stadium gas station. When booking a group online, it says Dachanglong Collection.
Walk back to the hotel and look for the meeting place for the next day by the way. The Hanting Hotel we stayed in is Dachanglong when we go out and cross the overpass, but Dachanglong is not facing the street, it is blocked by the high-rises on the street, and we can just pass through the middle of the high-rises. The gas station of the gymnasium is also very close, you can see it from the entrance of the hotel, cross the overpass and then cross a zebra crossing, which is diagonally opposite to the hotel.
Back to the hotel is already late, take the time to rest.
Day 3 Guiyang→Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area→Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village
We gathered at 06:30 in the morning, and the actual bus came 15 minutes late. We were the last stop, so there were basically no good seats on the bus. The two of us sat in the last row, and there was no empty seat in the whole bus. The tour guide on the car explained the browsing route, meeting time and place, and charged fees not included in the two-day tour fee, scenic spot car and insurance fee. Mr. Zhao refunded 30 yuan for the ticket, and paid 90 yuan after the deduction. 10:40 to the gate of the scenic spot.
Browsing route: Ximen-Wolongtan-Cuigu-Stone Forest-Small Seven-Arch Bridge-East Gate
I have seen some photos in the guide on the Internet. The color of the water is yellow, which is very ugly. At this time, Xiaoqikong is still very beautiful. The water in different areas shows several colors. There are not too many people, but there are too many people who love to take pictures, and they refuse to leave in front of the scenic spots. It is too difficult to take pictures of the scenery with few people.
14:10 Gather at the Xiaoqikong Bridge, led by the tour guide to the East Gate parking lot. 14:40 Go to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. Tour guides book long table banquets for some tourists, 40 yuan per person.
17:30 Arrive at the parking lot outside the Miao Village. The tour guide suggests that you only bring necessary supplies into the Miao Village, because the road to the residence is not easy to walk after getting off the bus, and there is no elevator in the inn, so everyone got off the car and opened the box to get things, which was delayed some time. In fact, the tour guide should have told everyone the night before.
Enter the gate of the scenic spot and take the scenic car, get off and check in at the inn. The inn is between No. 7 and No. 8 Fengyu Bridge, which is equivalent to outside the gate of the official scenic spot. If you book accommodation by yourself, you will never book here. It is inconvenient to watch the night view on the mountain or eat and play at the foot of the mountain. The poor condition of the B&B. If you book a group at the store, you can ask if you can find accommodation by yourself. When you went to Zhenyuan, there was an old couple who booked accommodation by themselves. The travel agency does not include dinner, so I ate some food I brought with me, added a sweater, and prepared to go up the mountain to see the night view.
Depart at 19:30, walk from No. 7 Fengyu Bridge and take a picture of a bridge to go up the mountain by car, and arrive at the mountain at 20:40.
Walking along the way, I met many people wearing Miao clothing to take pictures, which is really beautiful. There are also on the mountain. If you are interested, you can take a few beautiful photos. The rental fee for clothing is 20-30 yuan a piece. There were a lot of people on the mountain, we took a few pictures and went down the mountain soon. It’s not yet 21 o’clock, it’s still early, so walk slowly when you go back, the snack night market is very lively, there are all kinds of skewers, I bought glutinous rice cakes, I want sweet ingredients in it, I don’t know what else to add, a little Fishy smell, a bit like seaweed, a small piece costs 5 yuan. The next day, a group member bought it outside the gate. It was twice as big, and it was also 5 yuan a piece.
Hang around until almost 22 o'clock, go back to the inn to rest.
Day 4 Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village→Guiyang→Qianlingshan Park→Jiaxiu Tower
Get up at 07:00, pack your things, and have breakfast at 07:30. Each person is limited to one egg, steamed buns, porridge, and two small pickles. 08:00 Go up the mountain again to see the panorama. All the guides on the Internet say that the night view of Miao Village should not be missed. I personally feel that the scenery of Miao Village after dawn is not inferior.
We didn't take a car to go down the mountain. Mr. Zhao took me down the stone steps. It's really more interesting than driving down the mountain.
The tour guide told us yesterday that there are 12 door-to-door wine performances at the gate at 10:30 every day. We returned to the inn at 09:30, rested for half an hour, checked out, and walked to the gate to watch the show. When we arrived at the gate at 10:20, the show had already started. Twelve ways of blocking wine are twelve blessings and prayers: one is congratulations; the second is prosperity; the third is hard work; the fourth is kindness; ; Eleven ways of wisdom; Twelve ways of luxury.
Even if the visit to the Miao Village is over, let’s talk about the scenic car. We are all 20 yuan for the standard 4-way trip. In fact, we really don’t need to take a car, and the Miao Village is not big. The four-way usage suggested by the tour guide is: from the gate of the scenic spot to No. 7 Fengyu Bridge, from No. 1 Fengyu Bridge to the viewing platform on the mountain (uphill), from the mountain viewing platform to No. 1 Fengyu Bridge (downhill), from No. 7 Fengyu Bridge to the gate . We used it once to the No. 7 Fengyu Bridge in the scenic spot, twice for going up the mountain, once for going down the mountain, and walking out of the scenic spot. If you have to take a car, you can also buy a ticket at the place where you take the car, 5 yuan a time.
After taking pictures at 11:00, the tour guide took everyone to have lunch. Then drive back to Guiyang. At 15:30, return to the place where the group got on the bus - the stadium gas station, and take an express bus to Nanxiang Hotel. Check in at 15:45.
Diagonally opposite the hotel is the Waterfall Building, an internet celebrity check-in place. But only on major festivals will there be waterfalls.
There is nothing to do today except by car. The hotel is not far from Qianlingshan Park. Make an appointment first. It shows that 16:30 is forbidden to enter the park. Check the time and set off immediately. Walk to Qianlingshan Park at 16:10. There is no online ticket sales in this park, and none of the self-service machines can be used. You can only buy tickets at the window.
Qianling Mountain Park is a national AAAA-level tourist area with an area of 426 hectares. There is a cable car up the mountain. If you walk, you will not be tired along the slope. Tickets can only be purchased at the manual window, 2.5 yuan per person, free for the elderly; additional charges for small scenic spots in the scenic area (Hongfu Temple: 2 yuan; Zoo: 5 yuan), one-way cable car tickets 15 yuan per person, children under 1.3 meters 8 yuan /person (round trip 20 yuan/person, child 10 yuan/person). Monkeys can be seen on the mountain.
Mr. Zhao didn't want to climb the mountain, so we only walked to Tanquan. It is recommended to go up the mountain along the slope. Walking will not be very tiring, and the mountain is not high. When going down the mountain, take the repaired steps and visit Hongfu Temple, Qilin Cave, Jiuqu Path, Zoo, Monument, Qianling Lake, and Guanzhu along the way. pavilion.
When walking up the mountain, I saw a group of people surrounded by the roadside. I didn't know what they were doing. It turned out that there were two little monkeys hiding in the bushes. Going forward, a big female monkey came down from the mountain and walked on the side of the road, not afraid of people or harassing people. Mr. Zhao said that this was the mother monkey who came to pick up the two little monkeys. The natural environment of the park is very good. There are two white swans in the lake. The only disadvantage is that it is noisy. Many local citizens sing and dance in it with big speakers. In addition, it was 16:54 when we came out of the gate. Tickets were still being sold and people were entering. The information on the Internet was not accurate.
There is a supermarket on the way back to the hotel. The two of us must go to the supermarket and vegetable market when we travel, because only by going to these places can we understand the living standards of ordinary local people.
In the small street behind the hotel, I bought a box of tofu balls, 6 yuan and 4 pieces. I put them in a pan and fried them, then cut them into pieces with scissors, and mixed them with seasoning. I bought a piece of glutinous rice cake, a fried cake, and a mochi ball, all for 3 yuan each. Fried cakes and sesame balls are my names. I don’t know how they are called locally. The fillings of fried cakes are a bit salty. The sesame balls are much larger than those in Beijing. The rice cakes are about the same size as those in Miao Village, and they are 2 yuan cheaper.
Return to the hotel at 17:50, and the tour guide for the two-day tour of Zhenyuan and Fanjing Mountain will inform you of the meeting time and location tomorrow. After dinner, I feel that I should go out for a stroll. There is a bus to Jiaxiu Building at the entrance of the hotel, so let's go.
The famous ancient pavilion Jiaxiu Tower stands on the Nanming River in the south of Guiyang City, and is built on the basis of Wanao alum stone in the river. Jiaxiu Tower was built in Guiyang by Jiang Dongzhi, the governor of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty. Jiaxiu Tower is the symbol of Guiyang City and the symbol of Guiyang culture. Jiaxiu Tower is a wooden attic with three floors, three eaves and four corners with a pointed roof, with a total height of 22.9 meters and the inscription "Jiaxiu Tower" on the top floor. Jiaxiu Tower is a rare and quiet place in the busy city. The scenic spot is antique and there are many high-rise buildings outside the scenic spot. After nightfall, the lights are brilliant and the shadows are shaking. It has become the focus of history, culture and modern civilization. History is shining in modern civilization. The ray of light, exalting the spirit of "Jia Xiu Tianxia", guides people to a better future.
Jiaxiu Building is divided into three parts: the first part is Fuyu Bridge; the second part is the main building of Jiaxiu Building; the third part is Cuiwei Garden. There is a stone and wooden archway at the head of the Fuyu Bridge. In the center of the archway, there are four characters "City South Remains", and "Hanbi Pavilion" is built on the bridge. The main building, Jiaxiu Tower, has flying corners, stone pillars supporting eaves, and carved railings. Cuiwei Garden is a group of Ming and Qing ancient buildings composed of Gongnan Pavilion, Cuiwei Pavilion and Longmen Academy.
Arrived at 20:30, made a big circle, and returned to the hotel at 21:40.
Day 5 Guiyang→Zhenyuan
Gather at the old passenger station at 08:00. The tour guide calls the group number in the lobby of the tourist distribution center, which is the car number. We have been notified yesterday that we will go to the parking lot behind to find a car after we have assembled, and then we will grab a seat. Whoever gets on the car first will occupy the seat. Residual pregnancy will not be taken care of in advance. Don't worry, those who grab the front are all old, and the competitiveness of young people is not enough. Still very full, only the big seat in the last row has a vacant seat. My competitiveness was also too poor. I sat in the last row of double seats, and was praised by Mr. Zhao, who was not allowed to go to the last row of large seats.
Have a group meal on the road. The tour guide refunded 40 yuan for Mr. Zhao's ticket in the car, and charged 270 yuan after deducting the fare for the scenic spot and the aisle of Fanjing Mountain. Some tourists take part in Wuyang River night tour, 70 yuan/person, and the tour guide will book it on behalf of them. Arrive at Zhenyuan Ancient City at 13:30 and check in at the inn. Gather at the entrance of the inn at 14:00, and the tour guide will take you for a while. In fact, I just came out of the inn and walked to Zhusheng Bridge, talked about it there, and then I was willing to go to Qinglong Cave to buy a ticket to visit. I sent a message in the group and told everyone how to get out of Qinglong Cave. I left separately from the tour guide. I don’t know if I took the people with him to visit the alley. The tour guide does not recommend climbing Shiping Mountain. After all, the time is limited, and it is too inconvenient to walk around the alley in the dark.
When I got separated from the tour guide, Mr. Zhao took the navigation and acted as a tour guide for me. We first visited Qinglong Cave, then walked along the river, passed the pier, returned to the main street, entered the alleys, and experienced the "wrong way". After that, go back to the inn to rest, have dinner, and wait until it gets dark to see the night scene. Follow my pictures.
The inn where we stayed. We live on the second floor, no windows, no towels, drinking water has to go to the public area to pick up drinking water. Some group members live in rooms on the third and fourth floors, with windows, and they can see the Wuyang River. Still the same sentence, if you can order it yourself, you can order it yourself.
The piers of the Zhusheng Bridge were built in the Ming Dynasty, and the bridge body was built in the Qing Dynasty. The whole bridge is made of bluestone. Before it was renamed Zhusheng Bridge for Emperor Kangxi's birthday, it had another name called Xiqiao. Standing on the Zhusheng Bridge and looking towards the lower reaches of the Wuyang River on the east side, you can understand why this place is called the Venice of the East. In the fourth year of Guangxu, the Zhuangyuan Building on Zhusheng Bridge was added, also known as Kuixing Pavilion. What's interesting is that ten years after the Kuixing Pavilion was built, there were really two champions in Guizhou.
Shiping Mountain winds like a lion with its head held high, its posture tall and proud, the clear water is like a poem, and the Yang River is like a solid green jade belt, winding through the whole city in an "S" shape. The giant shiping town on the top of the mountain has formed a unique style of "nine mountains embrace one city, one water prefecture defends", and is praised as "Oriental Venice" by Chinese and foreign tourists.
The ancient wells are all over the whole area, with different shapes, round and square. Some are shaped like pig troughs, there are clear natural shallow wells, and there are hanging wells as deep as more than ten feet. The more famous Sifang Well, Zhucao Well, Pipa Well, Chenjia Well, Yuanjue Well, Nanmengouwei Well, etc.
Personally, I don’t think it’s necessary to take a cruise ship to see the night view. The scenery we saw when we walked along the river should be no worse than the view on the boat.
Around 21:00 back to the hotel to rest. Before going to bed, book a round-trip bus from Guiyang to Huangguoshu, and from Guiyang to Zhijin Cave on the "Haoxing Express Train", make an appointment and purchase tickets for Huangguoshu Scenic Spot on the "Huangguoshu Scenic Spot Official Account", and make an appointment to visit the Zhijin Cave. The Huangguoshu through train only costs 90 yuan per person, and the Zhijindong through train costs 119 yuan per person including lunch. Tickets for Huangguoshu Scenic Spot do not have a 40% discount ticket. Adult tickets + scenic car + scenic spot insurance are 140 yuan/person, senior tickets scenic spot car + scenic spot insurance are 60 yuan/person. Tickets for the Zhijin Cave can be purchased two days in advance at the earliest. Today, you can only make an appointment and cannot buy tickets.
Zhenyuan is a museum of Chinese mountainous cliff-cliff architectural culture. The ancient streets and alleys in the city are winding and secluded, the stone bridges and city walls are well-proportioned, the clear water and morning mist are full of poses, the spring river and fishing boats are full of poetry, and there are majestic and unique national-level key cultural relics protection units Qinglongdong ancient buildings and ancient Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are more than 160 dwellings, ancient alleys, ancient piers, and ancient city walls, all of which are of high ornamental value and scientific research value. Its architectural style is blue bricks and black tiles, high-sealed fire walls, cornices and corners, carved beams and painted buildings. Every bluestone slab and every blue brick records historical relics, weeping about the vicissitudes of the thousand-year-old town. The simple and elegant style of the ancient city has attracted many architecture, art experts and scholars from home and abroad to inspect and sketch. Zhenyuan is a place for heroes and talents to show their ambitions, and a place for people with lofty ideals to comfort their lives. There is a saying that "If you want to communicate with Yunnan and Guizhou, you must first guard the town." The ancient smoke and dust of historical wars, Japanese prisoners of war changed their minds and became Buddhas here. There are military system fortresses such as the Temple of War, city walls, front fire towers, forts, forts, etc. Zhenyuan is a place with "beautiful mountains and rivers". This trip to the ancient town is actually for half a day, and I went to Fanjing Mountain early the next morning. This kind of itinerary is too rough, and I only walked a small part of the alley. If I go in the afternoon the next day, it would be better to go to the alley in the morning. However, the tour group did not go this way. They always went to Zhenyuan in the afternoon, went to Fanjing Mountain the next day, and then returned to Guiyang. The main reason for choosing to join the group is that the local transportation in Fanjingshan is inconvenient. You can arrange more time in Zhenyuan for self-driving tours.
Day 6 Zhenyuan→Fanjing Mountain→Guiyang
Get up at 5:30, and get breakfast at the front desk at 6:00. Due to the early departure today, the inn packed breakfast, one egg, one steamed bun, one dumpling, and a cup of porridge. We gathered at the station at the entrance at 6:30. Because some people were late, everyone was frozen outside for about 20 minutes. Take a car to the parking lot outside the scenic spot, get on the car and go straight to Fanjing Mountain.
Mount Fanjing is located at the junction of Yinjiang Autonomous County, Jiangkou County, and Songtao Autonomous County in Tongren City, Guizhou Province, China. It is the main peak of the Wuling Mountains, with an altitude of 2,494 meters. The original ecology is well preserved, and it was listed as a first-class world ecological protection area by the United Nations in 1982. Mount Fanjing is rich in wildlife resources, such as Guizhou golden monkey, Davidia involucrata and other rare species. The scenery is beautiful and natural, and there is no trace of artificial scenery when entering the mountainous area. The "Mushroom Rock" on its main peak is a famous landscape and a rare place for tourism.
Mount Fanjing, the main peak of the Wuling Mountains, is a national nature reserve and a member of the United Nations "Man and Biosphere Reserve Network". The total area is 567 square kilometers. Fanjing Mountain, the whole area is majestic with mountains and mountains; steep slopes and deep valleys, towering peaks; . According to textual research in classics, Fanjing Mountain was called "Three Valleys", "Chenshan Mountain" and "Siqiong Mountain" before the Tang Dynasty, and "Fanjing Mountain" after the Ming Dynasty. "Fanjing Mountain" means "Buddhist Pure Realm". The fame and development of Mount Fanjing originated from Buddhism. The huge temple complexes of the Four Great Temples and the Forty-Eight Foot Temples spread throughout the Fanjing Mountain area, establishing the Buddhist status of Mount Fanjing as the famous "Ancient Buddha Temple" and one of the five famous Buddhist temples in China. The only Maitreya Bodhisattva ashram in the mountain, Buddhist culture has covered the vast Fanjing Mountain with a layer of solemn and magical color. There are various types of plants in Mount Fanjing, forests are the main body of the ecosystem in Mount Fanjing, and forest resources are the core of its biological resources. It is not only the primary producer of the ecosystem, but also the hub of energy flow and material cycle; at the same time, because of its special hierarchical structure, it forms a habitat for animals and microorganisms to survive. In addition, there are still many lower animals and invertebrate groups in Fanjingshan that have not been involved in the research.
Fanjing Mountain was rated as a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction and a national nature reserve on October 17, 2018. It was rated as China's top ten summer resort mountains on June 30, 2008, and China's famous Maitreya Bodhisattva Dojo. It is a member of the Man and the Biosphere Protection Network (MAB), and it is also a world natural heritage recognized by the 42nd World Heritage Conference. On July 2, 2018, Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou Province, China was approved to be included in the World Natural Heritage List at the World Heritage Conference held in Manama, Bahrain.
It took about 2.5 hours to drive, and arrived at the Fanjingshan parking lot at 9:00, and then there were various queues. Line up to check the health code to enter the scenic spot, line up to swipe the ID card to enter the gate, line up to take the scenic spot car, and exclude the cable car. Scenic cars and cable cars take a long time to get rid of, both have to wait for 20-30 minutes, and finally got on the cable car at 10:20. The tour guide posted a browsing route map in the group, suggesting to go to Hongyun Jinding, which is the new Jinding.
There are many sharp bends on the way up Mount Fanjing. I don't get motion sickness, but I still feel a little uncomfortable. Friends with motion sickness remember to take medicine in advance.
The time mark in the picture is still very accurate. We are not physically strong, and it takes 50 minutes to go up the mountain boardwalk.
After getting off the cable car, we started to climb the mountain. One-way line, the plank road up the mountain has many and inclined steps, everyone stops and goes, there are people who lift sliding poles along the way, and those with poor physical strength can also sit and be carried up. It is a little difficult for Mr. Zhao to climb the mountain. We only went to the Mushroom Rock, not the Golden Summit.
Some group members went to climb the Golden Summit, saying that it was "blocking people". The tour guide said that there is a very narrow place that can only allow one person to pass through, and it is also a very beautiful shooting location. If you don't pass through quickly to take pictures there, people will often be blocked to the Mushroom Stone.
It's full of people, all kinds of aunts make their heads and poses, take pictures of the scenery and leave.
I was in a hurry when I went in, so I came out to take a picture. That beauty is not me. I am too ugly to be scary.
The tour guide asked to gather at the gate of the sightseeing car at 14:00. The queue when we came up made us confused. I was afraid that we would miss the meeting point when going down the mountain, so we started to go down from Mushroom Stone at 12:20 and went down the mountain by cable car. , it may be that the people going down the mountain are scattered, and the cable cars and scenic cars are basically not lined up. Get on the cable car at 13:00. On the way to the gate of the scenic spot, the driver found a monkey on the side of the road and deliberately slowed down for everyone to watch in the car.
People are still late. On the way, the tour guide introduced Guiyang cuisine and nearby attractions. Return time is very long, more than 5 hours. On the way, the tour guide of the Huangguoshu through train issued a notice to inform the assembly and other matters. Return to Guiyang at 20:00. The group disbandment location is at the entrance of Nanxiang Hotel, which happens to be the hotel we are going to stay in.
Because I have lived here and I am familiar with the surroundings, I went to the stall selling tofu balls last time and bought Guiyang stinky tofu, 6 yuan a piece, the white one, not the black one. This is the first time the two of us have eaten it. Beijing also sells deep-fried stinky tofu. The stinky tofu in Guiyang may have been processed in advance. When fried, it doesn’t have such a strong smell, and it doesn’t smell very bad when you eat it. It’s acceptable. The sauce is similar to the tofu dumplings that day.
After dinner, I went out at 9:10 to see what else to eat around.
The characteristics of Guiyang are basically covered here, but most of the businesses close early, and few of them are open at 21:30.
22:00 back to the hotel to rest.
Day 7 Guiyang→Anshun Huangguoshu Scenic Area→Guiyang
I don't know if it's because we stayed for two consecutive days this time, the hotel gave us two breakfast coupons. Breakfast is not included when booking a room, you can order breakfast alone for 10 yuan per person. Breakfast is cost-effective. Beef noodles, fried rice, fried dough sticks, soy milk, eggs, rice cakes, two stir-fried vegetables.
Say a little episode. I booked a round-trip through train from Guiyang to Anshun Huangguoshu Scenic Spot on the "Haoxing Scenic Spot Through Train", which does not include tickets. The website shows that the bus departs at 07:00, takes 2.5 hours by car, returns at 16:00, and arrives in Guiyang at 18:30. Tickets for Huangguoshu Scenic Spot need to be reserved before you can buy tickets. I reserved tickets for 09:30-10:30 according to the time of the through train. Yesterday, the tour guide told us to gather at 08:00, and it might be after 10:30 when we arrived at Huangguoshu. The official account of Huangguoshu Scenic Area stated, "If you miss the appointment time, you will not be able to enter, and you cannot buy tickets for the day." The tour guide asked me to change the appointment time. I asked on the official account "Online Customer Service" platform. I need to refund the ticket first, and then make an appointment to buy the ticket again. I searched for a long time and couldn’t find a place where I could get a refund, so I went to the customer service and sent a screenshot. It turned out that Huangguoshu Scenic Spot can be reserved and purchased in the "Kaixing Roaming Mall". Orders on the official account need to be searched in "Kaixing". , After several twists and turns, the refund and re-purchase of tickets were finally completed.
Gather at the old passenger station at 08:00, and only after getting on the train did I know what the through train is all about. I thought this car belonged to Haoxing himself, and all tourists signed up on their website. In fact, only the two of us and two other people signed up on Haoxing, and the four of us were sent to another travel agency, so the two of us made an appointment at the wrong time. Since we only pay the fare, we will do our own activities after arriving at the scenic spot, and the others will follow the tour guide all the time. In addition, you can also go directly to the travel agency to report this kind of itinerary that only follows the car without a tour guide and lunch.
The guide pulled the four of us into a group, separate from her other guests. When we arrived at the entrance of Huangguoshu Scenic Area, we started to move freely.
Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area is mainly composed of Doupotang Waterfall Scenic Area, Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area and Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. When entering the gate of the outermost scenic spot, you need to swipe your ID card and collect facial features. After entering the door, you only need to swipe your face, and you don't need to verify your ID card when you take the scenic spot car.
After entering the gate is the boarding point. On the far left there is a walking plank road to Doupotang. There is no need to walk, just take a car. The two of us walked along the plank road, there was no scenery to see along the way, and we walked for about 30 minutes to the entrance of the scenic spot. The electronic display board shows the bus stop for Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. Don’t be misled, no matter which scenic spot you go to first, you will take the bus here.
Our browsing route is: walk along the plank road at the north gate → arrive at the Doupotang Scenic Area → watch the "Dupotang Waterfall" in the 1986 Journey to the West → take a sightseeing bus at the entrance of the Doupotang Scenic Area to the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area → visit the "Tianxing Bridge" in the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area Basin" → Arrive at "Gao Lao Zhuang" (here you can take a sightseeing bus to return to the gate of Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area) → Continue to walk from "Gao Lao Zhuang" to the Tianxing Cave Scenic Area → watch "Silver Chain Falling into the Pool Waterfall" → "Stone Forest on Water" → Take the cableway → Take the open-top sightseeing car to the gate of the scenic spot "→ Take the scenic car to the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot → Return to the north gate of the scenic spot after visiting the Great Falls.
The scenic spot arrived at 11:00 is the Doupotang scenic spot located one kilometer upstream of Huangguoshu Waterfall. On the top of Doupotang Waterfall is a huge melting pool with an area of 15,000 square meters, which makes the waterfall with the widest top among the Huangguoshu Waterfalls. Another attraction of this scenic spot is the statues of the story of the four masters and apprentices of Journey to the West distributed along the way. If it weren't for the scorching sun at noon, the road from Doupotang Scenic Area to Huangguoshu Scenic Area would be very enjoyable. Along the way, you can see the Huangguoshu Waterfall from all angles from far to near. After watching Doupotang, we took a bus to Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area and took Huangguoshu Waterfall as the last stop.
Doupotang Waterfall is located 1 km upstream of Huangguoshu Waterfall (near the entrance of the North Gate). The top of the waterfall is 105 meters wide and 21 meters high. It is the widest waterfall among the Huangguoshu Waterfalls. On the top of Doupotang Waterfall is a huge melting pool with an area of 15,000 square meters, and the waterfall is formed on a calcified beach dam that is more than 100 meters long. Doupotang Waterfall Doupotang Waterfall Doupotang Waterfall also has a special phenomenon: whenever the flood comes, the waterfall will make a roar of "boom, boom", so it is also called "roaring waterfall".
After taking photos in the Doupotang Scenic Area, return to the gate of the scenic spot and take a sightseeing bus. The Doupotang Scenic Area can be finished in about 1 hour. Don’t waste time here, the scenery behind is more exciting.
Take a sightseeing bus from Doupotang to the "Tianxing Bridge" scenic spot. Arrived at 11:40. Tianxing Bridge Scenic Spot is the largest of these three scenic spots. It is a scenic spot that has been fully developed in Huangguoshu Scenic Area. The planned area of the scenic spot is 7 square kilometers, and the development and sightseeing area is 4.5 square kilometers. It is divided into three connected areas, namely: Tianxing Basin Scenic Area, Tianxing Cave Scenic Area and Water Stone Forest Area. The stalagmites are dense here, the vegetation is lush, and the water reaches the scenery, integrating mountains, water, forests and caves.
The Tianxing Basin Scenic Area is about 800 meters long and is located on the 500-meter-long underground current surface and the west side of the river bank. There are large and small natural rocks and water stone bonsai. A three-kilometer stone path runs through stone walls, moats, and crevices, winding over bonsai. The nearby stone forest and the mountains in the distance are reflected on the clear water. Some can also support bamboo rafts and walk through canyons and stone forests. The Tianxing Basin Scenic Area also has natural landscapes such as the beautiful banyan tree, the palms of the fairy mountains, the crooked comb stone, the panda holding bamboo, and the eagle spreading its wings.
When walking to the "Gao Laozhuang" where Zhu Bajie carried his wife, there is an exit in the scenic spot. You can walk back to the gate of the scenic spot, or you can consider continuing to walk through the entire scenic spot. Mr. Zhao saw the mark on this sign and felt that the time for the whole journey might not be enough, so he decided to walk to Maoshuitan.
Smoking is not allowed in the scenic area. Mr. Zhao saw a sign indicating "smoking room", but he couldn't find it. If you can't smoke, let's have lunch. It is very important to replenish your energy. Our already hot clothes are soaked.
Take a break and move on. It’s really not that far to actually walk. When we were going back, we met enthusiastic tourists who told us that it was not meaningful to return at this time. As the saying goes: Listen to people's advice and eat enough. Continue to go.
I don't know if Tianxing Cave is permanently closed or we came at the wrong time, the door is locked. Looking at the strategies of other netizens is often not open.
Why is this Tianxing Bridge called Tianxing Bridge? It is because there is a scenic spot in the scenic area called "Bridge on Bridge and Bridge on Bridge". This is the origin of Tianxing Bridge, which is located near Tianxing Cave. No matter how you look at it, there are only bridges and the bridge above. Why are there three bridges? An exposed riverbed also counts as a bridge.
Yinlian Zhuitan Waterfall is located at the upper left of the Water Stone Forest in Tianxing Scenic Area. Among the Huangguoshu Waterfalls, it wins neither by its height, nor by its width or astonishment, but by its inexhaustible mood and crying waterfall sound, people don't want to leave when they see it. 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.
The second half of the walk is just to see her beauty. Mr. Zhao said it was worth it.
In the stone forest area on the water, the riverbed in this section is as wide as 400 meters, and the stone forest with an area of about 0.4 square kilometers grows in the riverbed, which is allowed to be scoured by the river for many years. There are large areas of cacti and small shrubs growing in the stone forest, dotted with green shade all the year round. The so-called "water flows on the stone, there are stones on the water, there are stones on the stone, and trees on the stone." , root wall barrier, root wall painting, fairies flying to the sky, etc. Yinlian Zhuitan Waterfall and Xingxia Flying Waterfall are also located on the left and right sides of the stone forest on the water.
It was already 14:30 at this time, and the time was tight, so I couldn't appreciate it well, so I moved forward quickly.
After watching the "Silver Chain Falling Pool Waterfall", there is a cable car going west, the fare is 10 yuan/person, it's just the cable car crossing the river, if you don't want to take the cable car, there is also a walking plank road, it takes 20 minutes. We are short on time and heavy on tasks. If you can save time, try to save time by taking the cable car. After getting off the cable car, there is a sightseeing station not far away. You can take a car to reach the vicinity of "Gao Laozhuang". There was a big wave, and it happened to be full. There is a sign after getting off the bus, and you still have to walk about 1 kilometer to reach the "North Gate of Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area". Take a sightseeing bus here to go to the core scenic spots "Great Waterfall" and "Dupo Pond" or return directly to the gate to leave "Huangguoshu Scenic Area".
Take the bus at 15:30 and go to the last stop of the trip, Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area. After entering the scenic spot, you can walk to the rhino pool or take the elevator. The tour guide sent a message that the assembly time was changed from 17:00 to 17:30-18:00. This time is also quite strange. For the first time, it is a time period rather than a specific time point. We still don't climb the mountain, so we won't go to the sightseeing platform on the mountain. In this way, we have enough time, so we still walk. The bonsai at the entrance have different postures, so if you have time, come out and look at it.
Huangguoshu Waterfall is the largest waterfall in Asia. It is located in Zhenning Buyi and Miao Autonomous County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province, China. It is the most famous scenic spot in Guizhou and a must-see attraction for foreign tourists to Guizhou. "Looking south through the long gap, there is a stream on the left side of the road that hangs and smashes, and thousands of exercises fly into the air. The stones on the stream are like lotus leaves covering the bottom, and three doors are cut out in the middle. The water soaks from the leaves and the top goes down. In addition, those who are straight down cannot be counted. When the pearls are smashed and the jade is smashed, the droplets are surging back, like smoke rising into the air, and the momentum is very powerful. The so-called: the bead curtain hook is not rolled, and the horse is hung on a distant peak. Neither is enough to imitate its shape. The waterfall that Gai Yu saw was several times as high as the waterfall, but there is no one that is as big as this pavilion, but it is unavoidable to look down from the top and sideways." In 1637 AD, when Xu Xiake traveled to Guizhou and passed Huangguoshu Waterfall, he once looked at Huangguoshu Waterfall. Waterfall makes that description. Since then, Huangguoshu Waterfall has gradually been recognized as the number one waterfall in the country.
The galloping river flows from the cliffs more than 70 meters high and flows straight into the rhino pool, making a loud noise, like thousands of people beating drums, and thousands of horses galloping. The sound is like thunder. Tourists are thrilled. "
Huangguoshu Waterfall is named after the homonym of "Huangguoshu" which is a common local plant - Huanggerong. Huangguoshu Waterfall is famous at home and abroad for its majestic and majestic waterfall and a series of dense waterfalls. It is very magnificent and enjoys the reputation of "the first waterfall in China". Huangguoshu Waterfall is located 45 kilometers southwest of Anshun City, the tourist center on the west line of Guizhou, within the territory of Zhenning Buyi and Miao Autonomous County, and 149 kilometers northeast of Guiyang City, the capital of Guizhou Province.
I won't say much about Huangguoshu Waterfall, it is too famous, and the information on the Internet is complete, so you can check it online if you need it.
When taking pictures, you must go down to the rhinoceros pond, where the scenery, angle of view and lighting are the most ideal. Don’t crowd with a large group of people on the way to Shuilian Cave to grab the camera. The angle and effect are not good.
Go back to the gate and take the scenic spot car, arrive at the parking lot at 17:30, the driver set up a recliner to rest in the shadow of the car, only one group member came back in the car, the tour guide took most of the people back to the car at 18:00, the total Someone was late, and it took another ten minutes to arrive.
Return to Guiyang at 20:00, the group breaks up at Jiaxiu Building, take the bus back to the hotel. Receive the Zhijin Cave tour guide to notify you of the gathering time. Book a hotel for tomorrow night. In order to go to Tianhetan Park and go to the airport conveniently, book the hotel at the train station. Buy Zhijin Cave Tickets. 40% off adult set, large ticket + sightseeing car + scenic spot insurance 74 yuan/person, elderly sightseeing car + scenic spot insurance 30 yuan/person.
Too tired, eat and rest.
Day 8 Guiyang→Zhijin Cave→Guiyang
Get up at 6:30, have breakfast, check out, store your luggage, and gather at the old bus station at 7:30. Because the driver was late, the tour guide added half an hour to the original tour time.
Arrive at the Zhijin Cave Scenic Area at 10:00. The temperature in the cave is moderate, about 16 degrees. Long sleeves + jackets are enough, and you will feel hot when you walk. The tour guide leads everyone to the entrance of the cave and sets a lunch time. It is recommended that you visit the cave by yourself according to the prompts in the cave.
Due to time constraints, this trip can only be arranged for one day to visit the caves. Zhijin Cave and Dragon Palace are both famous. One water cave and one dry cave have their own characteristics. I don’t know how to choose. Thanks to the strong network, I read the recommendations of netizens on the Internet and decided to visit Zhijin Cave.
Zhijin Cave is located in Guanzhai Miao Township, Zhijin County, Guizhou Province, on the south bank of Liuchong River, one of the source streams of Wujiang River, 120 kilometers away from Guiyang, the provincial capital. The park covers an area of 170 km2, with an altitude of 900~1670m. In April 1980, the tourism resource survey team organized by the Zhijin County People's Government discovered the cave. Zhijin Cave is now a national geological park, a national natural heritage, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, and a world geological park.
Zhijin Cave was rated as the first of the "Six Most Beautiful Tourist Caves in China"; the first of "China's Most Beautiful Tourist Attractions--"Top Ten Wonderful Caves in China". He also gave high praise, calling it "the king of Chinese karst caves", "you don't see the mountains when you come back from Huangshan, and there is no cave outside the Zhijin cave!"
On September 19, 2015 (17:00 p.m. Japan time), Zhijindong Cave National Geopark was officially approved by UNESCO to join the World Geopark. It fills the gap that there is no world geological park in Guizhou. It became the first world geological park in Guizhou Province.
Zhijin Cave is 6.6 kilometers long, 175 meters at its widest point, and has a relative height difference of more than 150 meters. The cave has a volume of 5 million cubic meters. More than 40 kinds of deposits, such as Zhongqi, form various karst landscapes. The tunnels are criss-crossed, the stone peaks are scattered in all directions, and the flowing water, intermittent ponds and underground lakes are staggered among them. It is known as "karst treasure" and "karst cave wonder".
The Zhijin Cave has a large scale, various shapes and colors, which are the remarkable features of the landscape of Zhijin Cave. The majestic "Underground Tower Forest", the illusory "Iron Mountain Clouds", the endless "Silent Mountains", the majestic "Hundred-foot Curtain", the profound "Guanghan Palace", the mysterious "Lingxiao Temple", the majestic and tall "Silver Rain Tree", the slender and exquisite "curly stone", the lifelike "Pu Xian riding an elephant", "deep love between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law"... a large picture scroll, a small scene everywhere , Shocking, breathtaking. According to the investigation and comparison of experts, Zhijin Cave is more grand, complete and beautiful than the caves in France and Yugoslavia, which are world-renowned in terms of scale, volume, shape, and landscape effects.
The magnificent and varied karst landform scenery sets off the magnificent Zhijin Cave. Within about 5 square kilometers around the surface of Zhijin Cave, there are typical Luoquan basins, natural bridges, skylight valleys, underground currents, and canyons, etc., which have high ornamental value and scientific research value, and are called by the internationally renowned geomorphologist William Williams. "The world's first-class karst landscape".
The lights in the cave do not use colorful lights, and keep the original color. Pay attention to the places that are specially illuminated by lights. Most of them are key landscapes. . There are 46 Zhijin Caves recorded on the landscape display board, and there are actually more. After reading the introductions in other guides, I feel that everyone’s writing is different. The following is based on the order of our visits, combined with signs and online introductions. The name of the landscape, all the real scenes that I have photographed, will be presented to everyone. The essence is behind the Nantian Gate. We walked too slowly in the first half, and walked too fast in the second half. The three treasures of Zhijin Cave - Bawang Helmet, Silver Rain Tree, and Sister Yushu are all in the second half of the journey, so don't miss them.

Entering the cave, the first thing you come to is the welcome hall. The hall is more than 200 meters long. Due to the sunlight at the entrance of the cave, the hall is covered with moss. Karst deposits such as giant lion, jade toad, rock pine. There is a circular skylight with a diameter of about ten meters on the roof of the hall, and the sunlight can directly shine on the bottom of the cave; the water drops dripping from the window edge, under the sunlight, seem to sprinkle thousands of money, which is called "a round light and a hole in the sky". Also known as "Luoqian Cave". In a small hall next to the side wall, there is a stalactite more than ten meters high, which is shaped like a mushroom cloud rising after a nuclear bomb explosion, and is named "Mushroom Cloud Hall". There is also a circular pond with a diameter of about 4 meters in the hall. Standing by the pond, you can watch the forest of stalagmites and the reflection of the hole window in the pond, which is called "Shadow Spring". It is said that there are four golden toads, but I did not find them.
The lecture hall is about 200 meters long and 50 meters wide. It is named after the karst deposits such as the Arhat preaching scriptures. In the middle there is a water pool with an area of 300 square meters, divided into two by stalactites, named "Sun Moon Lake", which is the lowest point of the whole cave. The karst in the pool is more than 20 meters high, and the bottom is more than ten meters wide. It is shaped like a three-story pagoda, with a Buddha sitting on the top, like a gathering of gods to preach scriptures. On the semi-circular stone platform on the east side, many arhats gathered to listen. Some held scriptures in their hands, some rested their chins in meditation, some asked their neighbors, and some bowed their heads in meditation. The cave wall is like a natural mural in all colors, showing mountains, forests, and fields. The north of the pool is a steep slope, the stone path spirals upwards, and the ceiling can be touched by reaching out, so it is named "Motianling". There are nine stone pillars on the left side, which are adjacent to each other in rows, shaped like a dragon, from the bottom of the cave to the ceiling. I "Nine Dragons Support the Sky", which is the lowest point on the roof of the whole cave. Zhijin Cave Tallinn Cave is also called "Golden Tower City". With an area of more than 16,000 square meters, there are more than 100 stone pagodas, which are golden yellow and shining. The highest one is more than 30 meters long, and the bottom is more than 20 meters wide. The group of towers divides the scenic spot into eleven halls, among which there are stalagmites, stone pillars, stone curtains, and bell flags in various shapes and myriads of scenes. The water in the "Mushroom Pool" is clear, and there are countless stone mushrooms in it, and the shadows fluctuate with it; the stone flowers in front of the pool are in pieces. The "stone drum" is flat and hollow, and the water drips on the drum, making a loud noise. There are two stone pine trees facing each other in the "tasong hall"; one is dark brown, five meters high, and the stalactites resembling needles are gathered into sheets and condensed on the main trunk, the bottom is large and the top is small, in the shape of a tower; the other is nearly two meters high. Ten meters high, the layers of leaves are covered with snow, so it is called "snow pressed green pine".
Longevity Palace, in ancient times, the huge stones that collapsed from the top of the cave were piled up like a mountain, and it was called "Longevity Mountain". Later, the mountain was covered with karst gold deposits. There is a rare "cave jar" on it, which is oval in shape. There is a "bloodstone" next to it, which is crystal clear and crimson, just like "a peacock spreading its tail". There are three "Shouxing", ten to twenty meters high. The roof of the cave and the walls of the hall are composed of yellow, white, red, blue and brown colors to form beautiful patterns.
Wangshan cave is an underground lake with a length of 170 meters and a width of more than 40 meters. This is the hub of the cave, leading to major scenic spots. The stalactites by the lake are black, the largest of which is ten meters high, shaped like an iron tree, covered with tens of thousands of black stone beads, and the right side of the upper end is white, like snowflakes, so it is called "Iron Tree Silver Flower". On the northeastern shore of the lake is a steep slope, and the road diverges: one has eighteen turns, 27 turns, and 441 stone steps to enter the "Nantianmen" and "Lingxiao Hall"; the other passes through 400 steps. Twenty-two stone steps into the "Beitianmen" and "Guanghan Palace".
Xuexiang Palace has a total length of more than 300 meters and an area of more than 6,000 square meters. The karst deposits are like a vast snowfield. There are four pillars and jade curtains hanging high, just like the scenery of the northern country. Among them, there are more than 20 naturally formed valley needle fields, pearl fields, and plum blossom fields; there are more than 20 stone shields of different sizes; there are dozens of red and transparent bell flags, which are buckled like bells; The "bamboo garden" formed by more than one carnation is full of charm and interest, like a cluster of bamboo and dense bamboo. "Curly Stone Cave", on the ceiling of the cave hall of more than 200 meters, is covered with tens of thousands of crystal clear curly stones, which are hollow and water-containing, curved and even grow upward.
Lingxiao Hall is more than 40 meters high and covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters. There are hundreds of feet of stone curtains hanging from the two walls, which are colorful, just like the curtain of the Heavenly Palace. There is a stone pillar in the middle that rises from the ground and reaches the ceiling, which is called "climbing pillar". Behind the pillar is a pond with an area of about 20 square meters, and stone lotus floats out of the water, which is called "Yaochi".
Guanghan Palace is more than 400 meters long, 100 meters wide and 70 meters high, covering an area of more than 50,000 square meters. The mountains are towering, steep and steep. There is an open flat land between the two mountains, and an underground lake lies between them. There is a 60-meter-high "Thoreau tree" covered with thousands of stone ganoderma; a 17-meter-high "Overlord Helmet", which resembles the helmet of an ancient warrior; a 50-meter-high stone Buddha, majestic Standing tall; the "Silver Rain Tree" is 17 meters high, slim, white and shiny.
This is where the essence lies. The most beautiful scenery is in this palace. Unfortunately, the best place to take pictures is occupied by people who charge for taking pictures. You can also take pictures by yourself. There is no charge. You only need to charge for pictures taken by professional cameras, but it is very slow. of.
The Shiwan Dashan covers an area of more than 70,000 square meters, with a width of 175 meters at its widest point and a height of 150,000 meters at its highest point. The terrain in the cave is undulating, and the stone peaks stand in clusters, like mountains and mountains, and the mountains are often shrouded in clouds and mist. There are golden pagoda mountains and forests of jade trees. There is also a "Pearl Hall" in the cave, where stone pearls shine brightly; there are remains of ancient karst cave channels, which are more than six meters long and four to eight meters wide.
We arrived at the entrance of the cave at 10:15 and started to visit. We exited the entrance of the cave at 12:30, took the scenic spot car to the gate, and departed with all seats. It took half an hour from the entrance of the cave to the parking lot. Feeling that there is not enough time in the cave, it is better to arrange 3 hours for free travel. The last thing I want to tell you is that if you come to Guizhou, you must come to the Zhijin Cave. The photos are just for you to see the shape. The real thing is much more beautiful than the photos.
After lunch at 13:40, gather back to Guiyang. The group disbandment location is near the old bus station. The hotel where we store our luggage is across the street. If we take our luggage out, there will be a direct bus to the train station at the disbandment location. Go to the hotel to pick up the luggage, call the car with Didi, and check in at the China Railway Hotel at the railway station at 16:30. Plan to go to Huaguoyuan's Internet celebrity check-in places-White House, Twin Towers after dark. Rest until 17:45, the sky is getting dark, take the bus to the square in front of the railway station, get off and walk, and arrive at the Huaguoyuan Twin Towers at 18:00. The twin towers are not far from the White House, on foot, the best viewing point is in the central square of Huaguoyuan.
Before I knew it, it was already 19:30, and I was hungry, so I continued to take a taxi and went back to the Erqi Road Night Market at the railway station for dinner.
Erqi Road Night Market is visited by many tourists from other places, and there are also many locals. You can find Guiyang special snacks, but they are not the most authentic taste. There must be Zheergen in the dipping sauce of Guiyang people. There are probably too many people from other places here, and the merchants have already stopped letting it go.
If you come to Guiyang, you must eat a sour soup. Mr. Zhao doesn't eat sour food, so he ordered me a pot of fish meal in sour soup. 15 yuan/serving, the ingredients are sufficient, the taste is very good, it is recommended. When I was picking up the meal, I saw a little girl and the store owner asking for dipping sauce. The dipping sauce with soybeans in the box was just that, and I followed the example of others and came with a box. Mr. Zhao asked for something else, but he didn't remember the name.
Back to the hotel after dinner, very close, a few minutes walk. The hotel is not so good. I saw cockroaches and slept with the lights on. I hope Xiaoqiang will not come out. This hotel is not recommended.
Day 9 Guiyang→Wenchang Pavilion→Tianhetan Scenic Area→Beijing
Woke up at four o'clock, endured until 07:00, packed up and stored luggage. Leave the hotel at 7:30 and take the bus to Wenchang Pavilion. The visiting time checked on the Internet is 08:00-17:00, come back and take the through train at 10:00 to Tianhetan Park.
Arrive at Wenchang Pavilion at 08:10, the sign at the door says 09:00-17:00, free of charge, closed on Monday. It's Sunday, but it's early. Don't miss the bus to Tianhetan, go up the city wall to see if you can see it from the outside.
It was still early to come out of Wenchang Pavilion, and I planned to walk a stop to see if there was any breakfast to eat. Walking along the road, the smell wafting out of the window is very fragrant.
Plain noodles are 6 yuan/bowl, mutton powder is 12 yuan/bowl, and the side dishes are served by yourself. The amount of powder is not as big as the flying bowl, and the taste is very good. Recommended.
After a good meal, take the bus back to the train station square. At 10:00, take the "Qian Shuang Bus" to Tianhetan, and the ticket is 10 yuan per person for a one-way trip.
Arrive at the gate of the scenic spot at 11:00. There are signs along the way that say "scan the code to buy tickets without queuing". After scanning the code, buy tickets online and go to the window to exchange tickets. Tianhetan 40% off big ticket is 4 yuan/person, online pass includes big ticket + water cave + dry cave + round-trip sightseeing car, 75 yuan/person; plus zipline, 117 yuan/person. Entering the service hall, there are two manual counters, one with 6 or 7 people in line, and the other with 2 or 3 people in line, first wait in the long queue and see what's going on. It turns out that the long queue is purchased offline, and the short queue is purchased online and then exchanged. Offline, you can buy a pass that does not include ziplines and sightseeing cars. Adults are 45 yuan/person, and seniors are 43 yuan/person. Neither of us want to take a sightseeing bus, nor do we want to play the zip line, so it is more suitable to buy a pass offline. If you want to play the zip line, the online pass is cheaper than buying tickets offline. Some people on the Internet say that tickets for scenic spots must be purchased.
Regarding the sightseeing bus, people who are in poor health and have difficulty walking should take it. It takes 25 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the entrance of the main scenic spot.
There is a scenic spot called "Happy Lawn" in the scenic area. I went around and it was half a person's tall shrubs. I don't know where the lawn is, or I went to the wrong place.
Tianhetan Scenic Area is located in Shiban Town, Huaxi District, Guiyang City. Within 24 kilometers from Guiyang City, it has both the hero of Huangguoshu Waterfall, the wonder of Dragon Palace and the beauty of Huaxi. In one body, it is completely natural; farmhouse waterwheel, small bridge and flowing water, full of wild interest, quiet and pleasant.
Tianhetan is a typical exposed block of thin-bedded carbonate rocks, with frequent folds, staggered faults, curved valleys, and deep vertical and horizontal cuts; more than 20 calcified beach bars accumulated on the riverbed are connected with more than 20 karst caves. It forms complex and colorful karst cave landscapes such as open rivers, dark caves, caves in bridges, lakes in caves, skylights, shafts, cliffs, and canyons. The river water is blocked, resulting in swirling flow. Under the action of strong corrosion, after millions of years of long years, the huge space of Longtan Cave with "the sky and the earth in the belly" is formed --- the underground sky tower, the sky bridge tower, and the magpie nest tower. , Crescent Tower, Conch Palace, Chaoxi Lake, Muyu Lake and other underground dark lakes.
Entering the scenic spot, what you see in front of you is the 210-meter calcified beach waterfall, which is currently the widest calcified beach waterfall in China. The section of the river downstream of the waterfall is called Xiangbagou. The waterfalls cascade down, and the strangely shaped limestone caves dotted around the Xiangbagou River section, either twists and turns, or leaps and bounds, forming scenic spots such as Meishui, Huanshazhou, Wanji Garden, and Fairy Caves. Connecting the calcification beach is Wolong Lake. The long dragon spine——Baibushiqiao floats in the lake. The lake water is as clear as a mirror, and the pink willows and green willows on the shore of the lake are like a paradise.
Please note: There are many animal fossils on the walls of the second half of the water cave. The speed of the boat was very fast. The boatman on the boat I was on didn't give a warning in advance, and we got out of the hole before we could react. Pity!
The caves in Tianhetan are quite beautiful, but after seeing the Zhijin Cave, I don’t feel much. The most beautiful view of the dry cave is near the exit, where there are two beauties in Miao costumes pulling tourists to take pictures, so everyone passed by quickly, and many people didn't stop to take a look. Taking pictures is voluntary, and you will not be forced to take pictures, so don't panic, you must appreciate it before leaving.
From the dry cave, you can take the zipline through the concentric bridge. The bridge is tied to the zipline, and you can't get on it without a ticket.
The two of us saw that the time was almost up, so we went directly to the viewing platform to see the panorama. Follow the love corridor full of paper umbrellas to the viewing platform. There is a so-called museum on the viewing platform, which has jade wares and salesmen, you know. Take a look at the panorama and go out of the scenic spot along the promenade on the other side.
As you walk down the road outside the waterfront recreation area, there is music and a fountain show.
When we arrived at the parking lot at 15:20, the return car was at 15:30, which was just right. There were only four passengers on the return trip, and they all got off at the train station, so the driver took the shortest route. Return to Guiyang Railway Station at 16:20.
I didn't have lunch at noon, so I went to eat first. It is still Erqi Road Snack Street. Most of the snacks on this street are 15 yuan a piece, and the meat will be more expensive.
Erqi Road Snack Street is right at the entrance of Hongtong Mall, so it is very convenient to go to the mall after eating.
I went to the hotel to pick up my luggage at 18:30. There was an airport bus at the train station square. I asked about the time and it didn’t leave until 19:00. The bus directly to the airport also departs at 19:00. There is no one on the bus, but it will arrive 10 minutes later than the airport bus. Finally, let’s take the Guiyang bus again, and the one-yuan coins I brought out just ran out.
Guiyang Longdongbao Terminal 2 has to take the elevator directly to the second floor when taking a flight.
Day 10 Beijing
I got off the plane at 1:40 in the morning, picked up my luggage and took a taxi, and arrived home safely.
Where is the next stop?
4. Impressions of Guizhou
Guizhou's tourism industry is very mature. Except for Fanjingshan, the through trains are very convenient. The efficiency of doing business online is high, and food, housing, transportation, and entertainment can all be done online. The government should be very strict in the supervision of the tourism industry, and there are no problems in all links along the way. The only downside is that the management of airport taxis is too chaotic.
The night view of Guiyang City is very beautiful, and the Guiyang Municipal Government is really willing to spend money to make Guiyang a city that never sleeps. Guiyang's tourism promotion is very detailed, and the roadside guardrails are full of pictures and silhouettes of various places of interest in Guizhou.
Guizhou can be visited again and again.
