DAY1: Fly to Guiyang Overnight: Guiyang North Railway Station Atour Hotel
Coming out of the airport, I saw enthusiastic tour guides and drivers waiting at the exit to pick up the plane early, chatted along the way, watched the scenery along the way, and soon arrived at Atour Hotel Guiyang North Railway Station where I stayed tonight. The itinerary has not really started yet. Today is a day of free activities. I have been traveling all over the country for many years, but every time I go to a city, I will walk its streets and alleys to feel the uniqueness of this city bit by bit. Culturally, I hurriedly put down my luggage, and I took a taxi to the city.
Atour Hotel Guiyang North Railway Station is located in Peking University Resources Dream City, Guanshanhu District, Guiyang City, adjacent to Guiyang City Administrative Center, Guiyang International Convention and Exhibition Center, etc., and the transportation is very convenient.
At the beginning of the night, I came to Erqi Road Food Street to taste the long-coveted Guizhou snacks. Guizhou food is mainly "sour and spicy", which is very suitable for my taste. Flowers, Aunt Ren's beef noodles, etc. are all local specialties.
After eating and drinking enough, return to the hotel and take a closer look. This is a mid-to-high-end humanistic boutique hotel with the theme of "reading" and "local photography". There are thousands of books of all kinds that can be borrowed. In addition, high-quality guest room products and facilities, meticulous and warm service, strong humanistic atmosphere, comfortable, simple and simple style, brought me an ideal accommodation experience, a good night's sleep, full of expectations and waiting for the official start of the journey.
DAY2: Liupanshui Meihuashan International Ski Resort Overnight: Liupanshui Tusi Manor Hotel
After breakfast, I went to the highlight of this trip - Liupanshui Meihuashan International Ski Resort. For northerners, heavy snow is a daily routine; for southerners, sporadic light snow is a carnival. Entering the ski resort, looking around, you can see the beautiful landscape of snow in the forest and forest in the snow. The ski resort and the original red pine forest on the mountain are close at hand. His heart jumped following their figures.
Meihuashan International Ski Resort is located in Liupanshui Meihuashan International Ecological Leisure Tourism Resort, only 10 kilometers away from the urban area. The ski track covers an area of 91,700 square meters, with a total length of 1,880 meters. At the same time, it can meet the skiing needs of 5,000 people. At present, only two primary tracks are open to tourists, and single and double boards, snow tires, and rainbow slides can also meet the snow play needs of different age groups.
Putting on gloves, hat, scarf, mask, ski goggles, and fully armed, I started to unlock new skiing skills with great joy. Skiing here, adult 3-hour ski package (including learning equipment) 218 yuan/person on weekdays, 258 yuan/person on weekends, deposit 500 yuan, including snowshoes, snowboards, ski poles, ski suits need to be rented for an additional 80 yuan/3 In order to prevent the reflection of sunlight on the snow from hurting the eyes, ski goggles are also required to be rented. Through step by step exploration, I soon mastered the skiing skills. From being unable to stand up at the beginning to being able to slide slowly down the slope independently, I also really felt the charm of ice and snow sports, and began to enjoy it in the cold winter. The breath of youth.
Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened, reluctantly ended the skiing experience, and drove to Liupanshui Tusi Manor Hotel to check in. Tusi Manor Hotel is located in the national 4A-level scenic spot - Yeyuhai International Tourist Resort, Shuicheng County, Liupanshui City. It is surrounded by Yi nationality towns with ethnic characteristics and the Biantuo Museum. The Torch Festival will be held every year on June 24th in the lunar calendar. Around the square of the torches held. The room size of the hotel is very large, especially the super large balcony is really rare! Its location is also very good, close to Fengqing Street, which satisfies the dietary needs well.
DAY3: Haiping Yi Nationality Town, Liupanshui Luobie Hot Spring Resort Overnight: Liupanshui Luobie Longjing Hot Spring Hotel
The first stop of today's itinerary is near the hotel. After a leisurely breakfast, we will head to Haiping Yi Town with ethnic characteristics. The town is in the Yeyuhai Resort. "Haiping" is a Yi language, which means a large open land. In this open land, there lived an ancient nation. They lived and multiplied here. This is Haiping Village, a village where the Yi people gather.
Walking into the village, the eyes linger in every corner. Along the sides of Qingshi Street, 10 compound courtyards are composed of simple but exquisite dwellings, which are stacked and connected with each other. The style is perfectly integrated into the modern architecture, which fully demonstrates the splendid cultural characteristics of the Yi people. The costumes and decorations of the Yi nationality fill the color of the town, and the girls and boys of the Yi nationality add a romantic atmosphere to the town, making people feel the strong style of the town.
In the Torch Square of Haiping Yi Nationality Cultural Park, I also met the elders of the Yi nationality who were singing and dancing. If the traditional Torch Festival of the Yi Nationality is held, compatriots from all ethnic groups in Liupanshui City and outside the city will gather in Haiping Yi Nationality Cultural Town to communicate with the local people wearing The Yi compatriots in costumes of the Yi nationality reveled together around the bonfire, which was mighty and lively. Looking at their dancing figures, I can't help but sigh that although I have been to many ethnic villages these years, and it took only half a day to come here, I like this place alone, not only because of its beautiful and intoxicating scenery, food, but also I like the colorful, simple and primitive humanities of the ethnic groups there; these ethnic customs and cultures with a long history and primitive inheritance are like a jar of old wine that exudes the fragrance of the years, deeply attracting me, making me obsessed, make me drunk.....
Soaking in hot springs has always been my ritual feeling for winter, and hot springs are also a major feature of Guizhou. Coming out of the small town, I went straight to Liupanshui Luobie Hot Spring Resort, wanting to fully relieve the fatigue of the journey. Luobie Longjing Ecological Hot Spring Resort is located in Longjing Village, Luobie Township, Liuzhi District, Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province, which is known as the "Cool Capital of China". The area covered by green plants can reach more than 90%.
There are more than 60 kinds of hot spring soup pools here, including a wide variety of medicinal baths such as flower baths and milk baths. Each soup pool has different effects. I chose my favorite soup pool and entered the hot spring water with a constant temperature of 55°C. Under the infiltration of the hot spring, I felt that the pores of the whole body were stretched, and the meridians of the whole body were also heated up. The fatigue along the way slowly disappeared. Close your eyes and enjoy life in this dense mist.
After coming out of Luobie Hot Spring Resort refreshed, I drove to Liupanshui Liuzhi Longjing Hot Spring Resort · Waterfall Hotel where I stayed tonight. The name of the hotel is the source of the waterfall. Longjing spring water is rich, clear, cold and pollution-free. The hotel is located in the scenic area surrounded by mountains and fruit trees.

Doupotang Waterfall also has a special phenomenon. Whenever the flood comes, the waterfall will make a roar of "boom and boom", so it is also called "roaring waterfall".

If you want to choose the most romantic season among the four seasons, there is nothing better than winter. The snow is silent, white and flawless, and even the exhaled air is clear. Although the journey of five days and four nights was very short, the joy and joy of the winter trip officially drew a successful conclusion to my 2020. Guizhou, I look forward to seeing you again!
2. Tips for playing
When skiing, prevent the cold wind from irritating the skin and the strong ultraviolet rays on the snow surface from burning the skin, and finally apply sunscreen; hats, gloves, scarves, and masks must be carried, and you can also bring some high-calorie snacks such as Snickers Racks, etc. to keep warm;
For local products and souvenirs in scenic spots and roadside shops, shop around to avoid losses;
When watching a waterfall, the splashing water vapor will make the ground slippery. Be sure to pay attention to safety when walking around to prevent slipping and falling.
