Affected by the epidemic, I haven't had a serious trip for more than half a year, which is driving me crazy. In the golden autumn and September, it is a good opportunity to travel, and the domestic new crown is almost eliminated, so I discussed with my family to take annual leave and go out together. After choosing and choosing, I fell in love with the colorful Guizhou on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. With the target direction, I made my own itinerary plan early by referring to various strategies on the Internet. The itinerary is eight days, centered on Guiyang, and divided into four major directions, southeast, northwest, and the well-known thousand-household Miao Village in the province. Famous scenic spots such as Qikong Huangguoshu Qingyan Ancient Town, Maotai Town, the wine capital, and Fanjing Mountain. It is really cheap to book air tickets in advance and rent a car in Guiyang on Ctrip. It only costs about 150 to fly from Xi’an to Guiyang; to pick up the car at the airport, the rental fee is 16/day, and the total cost for six days is 380. So, on the morning of September 5th, I started my trip to Guizhou.
Day 1 Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture. At 5:00 am on the 5th, I took the airport bus from the urban area to Xianyang International Airport, took off at 7:30, and arrived at Guiyang Longdongbao Airport at 9:20. After landing, go through the rental car pick-up procedure. The car is brand new with a total mileage of 5,500. I had a simple breakfast nearby, beef noodles. After driving for about three hours, we arrived at the north gate of the scenic spot. All tourist vehicles are not allowed to enter. That is, the car is stored in the tourist center, and the sightseeing car enters the scenic spot. Although it takes about 20 minutes to walk from the tourist center to the Zhaimen, the online ticket purchase is basically a set ticket of 65 yuan, which is bundled with the four-way sightseeing car. All scenic spots are the same. The Miao Village is very large, built on the mountain, and all the accommodation is in B&Bs. My experience recommends that you choose to live at the foot of the mountain. It is easy to get in and out for sightseeing, sightseeing, meals, etc. If you live halfway up the mountain, it will take a lot of energy. There are many Miao aborigines in the village, but they cannot escape the tide of commercialization. In addition to every homestay, there are Miao silver jewelry, clothing and local food everywhere. There are older buildings, but not many. After we checked in and settled down, we visited the street scene and had a simple meal (sour soup fish hot pot is expensive, and most popular fish are more than 100 yuan/catties). In the evening, I watched the cultural performance of the Miao nationality [Beautiful Xijiang], and I felt very good. End at 9:30, walk to the bus point and take a round-trip sightseeing bus to the viewing platform on the top of the mountain to enjoy the night view of Miao Village. The lights of every household are lit up, which is visually spectacular. The next morning the weather was not beautiful and it began to rain. But there is also a unique style, walking along the river as you like, when it rains heavily, sheltering from the rain in the No. 3 bridge pavilion, and fortunately saw the spontaneous Miao dance of eight or nine villagers, the original taste is equivalent to the square of the city people dance.
Here are a few photos to share:

On the second and third days, Libo Xiaoqikong in Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, known as "Little Jiuzhai", a national 5A scenic spot, preserves the world's largest plateau karst virgin forest, because there is an ancient Xiaoqikong built in the Daoguang period named after the bridge. We set off after lunch in Miao Village on September 6th. After a four-hour drive, we arrived at the east gate of Xiaoqikong, and quickly checked in at the pre-booked B&B with free parking. This scenic spot is divided into two scenic spots, the big and the small Qikong, and the tickets are valid for two days. There are few scenic spots supplemented by the Big Seven Hole. The original plan was to spend the rest of the day shopping, and the next day focused on visiting the Little Seven Hole. But after four o'clock in the afternoon after the meal, the scenic spot stopped tourists from entering, and they had no choice but to go around the small towns that serve the scenic spot. Depart early the next morning and take a sightseeing bus to start the tour. The scattered routes of scenic spots in the scenic area are long, and each point needs to be walked for a long distance, which requires good physical strength. But the scenery is really not bad, especially the representative Xiaoqikong ancient bridge, the green mountains and green waters attract tourists from the ancient bridge, the picture is amazing, and the angles are top-notch landscape paintings! Along the stream, mountains and water, water and forest, forest and waterfall, waterfall and lake, lake and cloud... all give people a sense of beauty and enjoyment. Pay attention to the sequence when visiting, or take a bus until you go back to the west gate to visit the scenery one by one. It is said that this is a downhill road, which saves energy; But it is best not to jump, so that the sequence of rides will be chaotic, and it will take more time. Big seven holes to watch time and physical strength. We walked around for an hour and a half. A total of more than 30,000 steps were walked in seven hours. Although it is tiring, it is worth it for the beautiful scenery. If you don’t believe me, see the picture below:
Day 4 Huangguoshu Waterfall in Anshun County, west of Guiyang. After visiting the big and small holes, drive to Guiyang. Considering that it is convenient to go to the highway to see Huangguoshu Waterfall the next day, I stayed in the Huaxi District on the outskirts of Guiyang. It is about 130 kilometers away from the scenic spot, and it is the business card of Guizhou tourism that is famous all over the world. It is mainly divided into three parts, Steep Pond, Huangguoshu and Tianxing Bridge. The scenic spot is connected by a sightseeing car, and the journey is long. Needless to say, Huangguoshu is a must-see; the Doupotang area is mainly named after the filming location of Journey to the West. The waterfall is not big but the scenery is good. Tianxing Bridge, after a personal tour, there is nothing to see, it is a bit of a waste of time. On the way back to Guiyang, there was a "Qingyan Ancient Town" marked 5A. The time was just right, so I went in to watch it. The main streets are still dominated by shops selling similar food and accessories from all over the country, and the back streets and alleys have the ancient bluestone streets and alleys with a sense of age. The main delicacy is Zhuangyuan pig's trotters. The price is not expensive at 25 yuan a catty, and the taste is not bad. You can buy it now or have it delivered to your home. See the relevant pictures below:
On the fifth day, Renhuai Maotai Town, the wine capital of China in northern Guizhou. Although I don't drink extravagantly, the name of Moutai is still deafening from time to time. When you come to Guizhou, you still have some curiosity to explore. On the 9th and 9th, I drove from Guiyang to Maotai Town. It is really known as the capital of wine. There are two roads along the street, door to door, all of which are self-made Maotai restaurants with various names. The business model of almost every one is restaurant + hotel, where you can stay in, taste wine and buy wine. It is estimated that there are thousands of them. Attractions include the Memorial Park where Chairman Mao was proud to command the Central Red Army to cross Chishui four times during the Long March, the 1915 Square where Moutai won the Panama Award, and the "Chinese Liquor Culture City" established by Moutai Distillery. By the way, the cultural city is 30 tickets. First, you can visit the origin, history, culture, drinking, and manufacturing process of our Chinese wine. The focus is on the knowledge about Maotai sauce, as well as the history of modern development and the origin of revolution; two. Come and buy the national liquor Moutai at a cheap price. But there is an appointment process. Scan the QR code the day before, and the system will draw randomly, and those who are drawn can buy two bottles and come in to pick up the goods. Based on this alone, there are many people entering the park. In the town, depending on your drinking capacity, every household can taste a small amount of self-brewed Maotai-flavored wine of each year for free. I don't know how to do it. Although I mainly tasted and visited the brewing, storage and finished products of Qiantai wine, and the price factor, I couldn't buy it in the end. I was a little bit unwilling. My wife said that I came here for nothing.
Day 6 Jiaxiu Tower in Guiyang City. Return from Maotai Town, and then enter Guiyang City. Although I stayed in Guiyang for the first two nights, it was only for a rest at night. This time I am going to visit Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou. The plan is to see the famous Jiaxiu Tower and Qianling Mountain Park. But I didn't expect that the urban area of Guiyang is scattered, and it takes a lot of time to go from place to place. The urban area is also surrounded by mountains, passing through and going around. In the afternoon, I went to the Qingyun Road Night Market, but it was rumored that it was striving to create a sanitary city, so most of the stalls were closed, leaving only a few with fixed facades. There is a grilled fish restaurant that is very famous online, so I went to taste it. There are many people and the business is good, but the fish is slightly burnt. After eating, I walked to see the night view of Jiaxiu Tower, which was okay. Before that, I paid back the rental car in advance because I considered that I would not need a car anymore. The next day I wanted to visit Qianling Mountain, but it was raining and the road was far away, so I gave up.
Day 7 High-speed train to Tongren Fanjing Mountain. Due to the non-stop rain in Guiyang in the morning, after getting up early, I only went to taste the famous Nankou Changwang Noodles on Huguo Road in Guiyang, and it was almost time for the departure time of the high-speed rail. Fortunately, I live near the high-speed railway north station, and I will arrive at the station soon. After getting off the high-speed rail, the owner of the Shanju diary homestay in Fanjingshan introduced a private car to pick you up. After checking in, it will be dark, so we should go to bed early to accumulate energy for the next day in Fanjingshan.
Day 8 Fanjing Mountain, the pure land of Brahma. Tickets are now limited to online reservations in time slots. A few days ago, the reservation system of "Traveling Guizhou with One Code" failed, and the Fanjingshan system failed, so I couldn't make an appointment. Later, I looked at Ctrip, and all of them had to be bundled with additional tickets for the Miaowangcheng Scenic Spot. Other websites had queues after noon, so I had to make an appointment first. Fortunately, there were few people who went early, and entered smoothly. But it was still raining all the way. The mountain road is not easy to walk, the sightseeing car takes 20 to 30 minutes, and the cableway takes more than ten minutes. It happened to be Saturday, even though it was raining, there were quite a lot of tourists, and they had to queue up before and after getting on the bus. Rain, fog, and wind mixed together on the mountain. Although I wore a rain poncho, my clothes and shoes were wet. The persistence of willpower and the temptation of the beautiful scenery still insisted on arriving at the main scenic spots on the mountain - mushroom stone, old golden summit and red cloud golden summit. The only regret is that there is too much fog, and there is nothing to see from a distance. Furthermore, Hongyun Jinding Road is too dangerous, which is comparable to Huashan Mountain, which is known as the most dangerous in the world. After five hours of shopping, I still didn’t take the bus when I left. The owner of the homestay introduced a private car with a discounted fare to Tongren City. At the station, there is the No. 20 bus to the airport, which arrives at Tongren Phoenix Airport in one hour, and arrives safely at Xianyang International Airport at 11:30 p.m., ending the eight-day tour.
Summary: For most people, traveling is a process of broadening horizons, increasing knowledge, relaxing body and mind, and enjoying themselves. If you have free time, you should travel more to appreciate different mountains and rivers, natural landscapes, history and culture, local customs, food and wine. I wish travelers all over the world have wonderful and memorable journeys one after another! !
