"If life is given a color, I hope it is green
Because it will make every page of life's poetry durable and evergreen"
——Xiaodun "Meeting Libo"
【While still young, use your footsteps to measure the life you love】
I admit that I have always been a restless person, and my spirits will be depressed if I don't go out for a long time. Although I am always traveling on business trips this year, the model of "one check-in at one place" really goes against the "meaning of travel". It has become a habit to open major travel apps every day to check cheap air tickets, and visit travel guides from time to time. Although he failed to realize his dream of traveling around the world, he seemed to have traveled all over the world in his heart.
This time I went to Guizhou decisively because of a circle of friends of my sister Wenqing, and it happened to coincide with Dabai’s 30th birthday on September 9th. Now that I have decided, I will never look back, and I will meet you even if the journey is difficult.
【Tips】
1. Itinerary selection:
The Guizhou tour route that can be understood with a single picture can be divided into three tour routes centered on Guiyang City (as shown in the figure below). This trip was abandoned due to time constraints and previous visits to Huangguoshu. · Anshun Huangguoshu, Longgong line, chose Qiandongnan and Qiannan two lines.
2. Traffic conditions:
At present, the transportation in Guizhou is not very developed, and there are few areas with high-speed rail, and most of them still use trains or long-distance passenger vehicles as the main mode of transportation. Although it is convenient to drive by yourself, the expressway in the scenic area has not been repaired, and a long section of the road is a mountain road or a rural road. Therefore, friends who do not have good driving skills are not recommended to drive by themselves.
3. Eating habits:
The eating habits of Guizhou are the same as those of Sichuan, they all focus on spicy flavors, and they both prefer "Zheergen"; Guizhou's bayberry soup is definitely not to be missed.
4. Tips:
Guizhou is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the sun is super strong. Even if it is cloudy, it is recommended that everyone strictly do sun protection.

1. 【Seeing Zhenyuan for the First Time】
Because I booked an early flight, I struggled to get up at 3:30 a.m. on Friday, and after washing up, I drove straight to the airport, each with a backpack. There are not many people in the morning rush hour. After getting on the plane, I put on sunglasses and fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, the plane was about to land at Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport.
Traveling without luggage is always light, at least it saves you the time of waiting for your luggage. Guiyang’s airport bus ticket office is located outside the terminal building. Since I booked a train ticket to Zhenyuan at 11:15 am on the same day, I only chose the landmark scenic spot in Guiyang—Jiaxiu Tower. Take the airport-railway bus on Line 2, get off at Monument Tower Station for about 20 minutes, and walk for about 15 minutes to reach Jiaxiu Tower. This ancient pavilion built on the Nanming River was first built in the Ming Dynasty, and has been rebuilt many times. It has been approved by the State Council to be listed in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. The adjacent Cuiwei Garden is built by mountains and rivers, and the dignified and beautiful Cuiwei Pavilion stands in it. Stroll here and feel its seclusion, elegance, majesty and simplicity quietly. In order to catch the train, we checked in at Jiaxiu Tower. I arrived at Guiyang Railway Station by bus for 20 minutes. After picking up the ticket, I found that it was too early for the ticket inspection time, so I settled for lunch at Dexter. At 11:15, the train started and headed towards Zhenyuan Ancient Town.
About 4 hours later, the train stopped at Zhenyuan Station, and a damp smell came over my face. Standing on the mottled platform, looking up through the railing and seeing the stop sign of "Zhenyuan Station", the sense of loneliness of "the years are gone without a trace" came to my heart instantly. As people flow out of the station, there is no loud solicitation of customers, nor the din of sales from loudspeakers, everything is so ordinary.
The inn is located near the Zhusheng Bridge. After all, the purpose of traveling is to get rid of the noise of the city. The No. 1 bus for 2 yuan/person goes directly to Zhusheng Bridge. The bus passes through the ancient town, and it is also a pleasure to enjoy the scenery along the way. Here I have to mention the buses in Zhenyuan, which support WeChat/Alipay scan code payment, no need to download any app or bind the city bus card, just open the payment code, which is indeed much better than what many big cities do. Along the Qingshiban Road, we found the "Miaoxianglou" inn. The proprietress showed us the room very enthusiastically. The moment I opened the door, I completely forgot about the fatigue of the 4-hour drive. I dropped my backpack and ran to the balcony to pick it up. The phone starts taking pictures. Sitting on the rocking chair of the inn, watching the rows of inns built next to the Wuyang River, the quaint Zhusheng Bridge lies quietly on the river, the cheerful Wuyang River flows through, and an old boat is docked by the river. From time to time, in the village here, locals lead the cows and sing folk songs, the cow bells are ringing slowly, and the tourists on the bridge in the distance are smiling crisply, but they don't know that you are also a beautiful scenery.
All the inns in Zhenyuan sell the boat tickets for "Night Tour Zhenyuan". The official price is 120 yuan/person, and the inn only costs 70 yuan/person. Walking on the Zhusheng Bridge and looking into the distance, you can only feel the openness in front of you, and you will feel refreshed and happy. Walk along the Qingshiban Road, passing Shiping Mountain and Longevity Palace. The purpose of this trip to the ancient town is just to wander around in a daze, and the things to visit the scenic spots are saved. Reminder: If you have enough time, you can climb to the top of Shiping Mountain, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Wuyang River curving like Tai Chi.
Travel and food are always a perfect match! The bayberry juice from Guizhou will definitely top the list of recommendations, and it must be iced bayberry with Wang Ji. The so-called self-made bayberry soup is really not recommended. Suddenly Dabai pointed to a basket of things on the side of the road and asked me: What is this? Because I had eaten it before, I told him with disdain: this is a sweet potato, you can eat it after peeling the skin, and it has a lot of water. Weighed four for 4 yuan, I peeled one for him, and then took a photo of him eating sweet potatoes.
The foodie artifact is Dianping. Focus on the target - "Yuanjia Tofu", the small shop is next to Yumen Wharf, and you can see the yellow flags when you walk down the ancient town. Since it is a tofu shop, tofu must be the protagonist. There are many kinds of snacks, but considering that we will have dinner next, we only ordered tofu nao and tofu balls. How different from the tofu nao eaten in the north, the boss took a bowl of white bean curd, and the diners added five kinds of small ingredients on the table according to their tastes. Fried peanuts are essential, which can be described as the essence of the whole bowl of bean curd. It's all daily stuff, so I won't go into too much detail. The tofu balls are delicious. The crispy and tender skin is wrapped with hot tofu. When you take a small bite, the bean aroma rushes into your nostrils. It is coated with special dried sea pepper noodles. There is only one word: praise.
I chose Miaoxiang Yuantu Restaurant for dinner. I finally found it by following the navigation. I was told that there might be no room for private reservations tonight. Fortunately, the boss was kind enough to find us an empty space and set up a table for us, which satisfied the problem. . I ordered scrambled eggs with spring buds, secret black beef, fried bacon with fern cake and cold rice tofu. Generally speaking, the taste of the dishes is good. The fern cake becomes swollen after high-temperature frying, and the taste is crispy. The aroma of bacon is mixed with the fern cake Here, I can’t put it down; the black beef is tender but not firewood, and the rice tofu feels not much different from the jelly in the north. Taste a meal in the green mountains and green waters, have a bottle of local beer, watch the cruise ships go by, and wait for the night when the lights come on.
Of course, the night tour has to wait for the lights on both sides of the river to be good. After a full meal, take a walk in the ancient city, lie on the railing to watch the tourists on the opposite side of the river, and listen to the live music of street performers. There are a lot of busy chores, but I can always take a vacation for myself, no matter how long the vacation is, as long as I can be on the road, it is great.
Stroll until eight o'clock and go to Yumen Wharf to take a boat, show the tickets you changed in advance and wait in line. There are 24 people in a boat, which is basically enough for 20 people to sail. The boat tour takes about 30 minutes, divided into uplink and downlink. There is a radio lecture on the boat to introduce the origin of the allusions of Zhenyuan scenic spots. The boat shuttles on the Wuyang River, and the surrounding lanterns illuminate the direction of travel like pointers. It is useless to say more about this scene, please experience it yourself. Here is a special introduction, the beef jerky in Zhenyuan is very delicious, you must not miss it.
After returning to the shore after the cruise, the doors of the small shops on the street have been locked one after another, and the ancient town is even quieter. Back at the inn, I sat on the balcony with my coat on, watching the changing lights on the Zhusheng Bridge, and listening to the quiet flow of the Wuyang River.
2. [Fortunately I gave up Carey]
Wake up from a deep sleep, stretch a big lazy waist, because I have to catch the train in the morning, take the time to get up and pack. The innkeeper sent a rice noodle card for "Sister Pan's Breakfast" on the opposite side, and had breakfast immediately after check-out. Each of us asked for a bowl of beef noodles, plus three eggs. The wide noodles are soaked in beef soup and are very tasty. The noodles are very tender and smooth in the mouth, and the taste is even better with free capers. There are many rice noodle shops in the ancient city, and the taste should be similar. If you come, you can try it. The tsampa is very solid and filled with fillings, making it super filling after eating one.
Before leaving, I went to Zhusheng Bridge to take a look. I only hope that this small town in the southeast of Guizhou will always be so quiet and safe.
Go to Libo first via Kaili, and the train will stop at Kaili Station after 1 hour and 21 minutes. As soon as we got out of the station, we were immediately surrounded by drivers, and our ears were filled with: "Sister, do you want to go to Miao Village? We are all regular cars." It was too early for the long-distance bus to leave in the afternoon, so we chose to have lunch in Kaili , Taste the local characteristic sour soup. Take the No. 1 bus and get off at Dashizi (East), and go through the underground passage for five minutes to arrive at -Miao+Sour. All restaurants in Zhenyuan sell red soup, but this one specializes in sour rice soup. I bought a meal for 2 people in Dianping. After a while, the boss brought the ingredients to the table: bean sprouts, tomatoes and scallion leaves floated in a pot of white soup, and ginger slices settled at the bottom of the pot. It smelled sour and salty fermented. Chatting with the proprietress while waiting for the pot to boil, she told me: Kaili’s authentic Miaojia sour soup is actually only rice sour, and red sour is an improved version. Rice sour is rich in various nutrients and is a rare natural enzyme. When they are very thirsty and not cool, they just drink a spoonful of sour soup from the big tank. Sometimes they also wash their faces with sour soup, which makes their skin smooth and saves a lot of money on skin care products. Since it is so magical, just wait for the pot to boil. There are a lot of things in the set meal, enough for two people. Under the guidance of the proprietress, we first drank a white sour, which has the aroma of rice wine and the freshness of green leaves. The ingredients are delicious. A handsome guy sitting at the table behind me said: rice sour is a good thing, I can't stop eating it, and I have to eat it 4 times a week. While chatting, I found out that the handsome guy went to college in Xi'an, and after graduation he came to Carey and worked in a law firm. He plans to climb Mount Huashan this year. I wish him all the best.
After dinner, take a taxi to Kaili Passenger Transport Department, the starting price is 5 yuan. After picking up the ticket, wait for the departure to Libo. As the highlight of this itinerary, Libo must be full of expectations. The long-distance drive from Kaili to Libo is about 5 hours, because after getting off the expressway from Sandu, there is a rural road. Friends who suffer from motion sickness should remember to bring motion sickness medicine, or choose to take the train to Mawei and get off at Duyun, and then take a minibus to Libo.
He was awakened from his sleep and got out of the car in a daze. The palm trees on the side of the street made me mistakenly think that I was in Hainan, and I took a big breath of fresh air trying to clear my mind. I lived in Libo Ancient Town tonight, followed the Gaode map and walked for about 25 minutes, passing through Deng Enming Square and country roads along the way, which can be regarded as exercise.
The inn is located in the Floral Building · Encounter in the ancient town, which is elegant and fresh. Tomorrow's itinerary is Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. Because Libo Ancient Town is about 30 minutes' drive from Xiaoqikong, I made an appointment with the boss for a car delivery service at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning at the same time as I checked in. There are two types of carpooling and chartered cars. 6 people in a car, 13 yuan per person; 80 yuan for a one-way chartered car, 1-6 people are acceptable. Carpooling really depends on luck. After all, not every time slot can be fully seated. Fortunately, the character was so good that day, and the carpooling was successful in less than an hour. The driver will contact you by phone in the evening to inform you of tomorrow's meeting place. The service is very good. Be thoughtful.
Take a short break and take a taxi to Libo Food Street. Like the snack street in every city, it is always crowded with people and full of fireworks. I didn’t choose to eat on the main street. I gave up the local bean curd grilled fish, but let the master turn into it. In an alley, it is said that there is a delicious food that is well-received by the whole family-keep a hand of grilled fish.
I chose a Jiang Tuan weighing nearly 4 catties, and with the side dishes given by the boss, it was more than enough for two people. The process of waiting for the delicious food is hard. When I saw a karst bayberry juice at the intersection, I ran to buy two cups. To be honest, although it is freshly brewed, it is still far from Chengyou Wangji. Finally, the fish is on the table, dipped in dried sea pepper noodles, delicious, delicious, tender...
After a full meal, my stomach was too bloated, so I decided to walk back to the inn. The snack street is still very lively. An aunt is selling ice powder on a small table, a group of people are eating baked tofu around the stove, and the aunts in the square are dancing with their waists twisted. In this "World Heritage Site, Plateau Emerald" town, I will have a refreshing dream tonight.
3. 【Everything is worth it】
The significance of coming to Guizhou lies in the small seven holes. Get up at six o'clock to clean up, have breakfast next door, and the driver will come to pick you up on time at 7 o'clock. The 4 people in the same group were a family of four from Guangdong. They asked the driver about the basic situation of the scenic spot along the way, and drove towards Xiaoqikong in the face of the rising sun.
Arrive at the east gate of Xiaoqikong Scenic Area 30 minutes later, buy the combined ticket online one day in advance, and enter the "Internet Exchange Channel" of the Tourist Service Center to show your ID card to exchange for the ticket. There is a smart locker in the lobby. Considering that mountain climbing can simply reduce the burden on the backpack, you can choose the size of the locker according to the luggage volume with just a scan. This is really convenient for foreign tourists, and you don’t need to worry about your luggage anymore. Worried about storage issues. Follow the signs to enter the scenic spot to find the location of the sightseeing bus, and choose the direction you want to take. There are two tour sequences in the scenic spot: east in and east out, or west in and east out. Tourists who are short on time will mostly choose the route of east-in and east-out, because they have abandoned the Daqikong scenic spot, and can visit the Xiaoqikong to the maximum within a limited time; while going west and going out, they can visit the large and small Qikong scenic spots. We chose to enter from the east gate. The first scenic spot is the essence of Xiaoqikong—Qikong Stone Bridge. This bluestone bridge was built in the Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty. Bitan is intoxicatingly green under the bridge. Walking along the mountain road, you come to the second scenic spot - Laya Waterfall, which is 10 meters wide and has a drop of 30 meters. It forms a wonderful three-dimensional cross waterfall group landscape with the 68-level waterfalls scattered longitudinally in the Xiangshui River. The mist hit the face, and a sense of coolness hit, and suddenly felt that the summer heat was reduced by half.
There are battery cars connected to various scenic spots in the scenic area, so there is no need to worry about the problem of overdraft for long-term mountain climbing. Following the arrangement of scenic spots behind the ticket, we visited the Water Forest, Diecui Waterfall, Yuanyang Lake and Wolong Lake in turn. The experience of the Water Forest The feeling is not very good, it is nothing more than stepping on stones and walking through the sparse jungle full of trees, and it does not have the fun of playing in the water as shown in the picture. Pinnacle Falls became popular because of "Follow Bell to Adventure", Dabai insisted on standing in front of this sign to take a photo. But this is not the point. The attraction that attracts me the most is Yuanyang Lake, and it is because of Yuanyang Lake that I decided to come here.
Boating at Yuanyang Lake is a must. There is no time limit for 30 yuan/person for rowing by yourself, and 60 yuan/boat for the boatman. How can you not experience it yourself? Put on the life jacket decisively, the staff arranged a boat for us, and no one will take care of it. Everything is difficult at the beginning, I can't grasp the direction at the beginning, the boat can only drift along the waves, there is no tendency to move forward, seeing other boats rowing freely, I can't help feeling a little anxious, of course, anxiety is useless, remember When I was rafting on the Yulong River in Yangshuo last year, I asked the boatman to teach me how to pole. So Dabai and Dabai adjusted their oar-holding postures, and the two of them worked together to finally give the boat a soul after floating quietly for 15 minutes. The whole lake is only the sound of the oars fluctuating water, bypassing the mandarin duck tree, passing through the water maze, and after enjoying an hour of quiet time, we went ashore.
Going out and turning right is the shuttle bus to the direction of Tianzhong Cave. Tianzhong Cave charges 8 yuan/person alone. Go to Wolongtan by car. The location of Wolongtan is close to the west gate of the scenic spot. Walk down the wooden plank road for 10 minutes, and you are instantly stunned by the scenery in front of you. A pool of dark green water comes into view, and pours down after passing the stone platform, forming a column of white water, which draws a beautiful landscape painting with the surrounding green trees. Photos can't reflect the heartbeat that I have seen with my own eyes.
After visiting Wolongtan, Xiaoqikong Scenic Area is considered to be the end of the tour. Take the scenic shuttle bus back to the east gate, pick up the luggage, and take the minibus at the gate to return to the county. There is no direct flight from Libo to Xi'an, and it is necessary to transfer from Libo to Guiyang. Fortunately, there is an airport in Libo, which can save 4 hours of travel. It was still early before the departure time, so we found a "Phoenix Tower" restaurant to try Guizhou special stir-fried dishes. We ordered water bracken fried meat and spicy chicken. To be honest, these two dishes are particularly good with rice, maybe because we are used to northern rice. , The rice in Guizhou is really not very delicious. But Dabai didn't mind, and ate a pot of rice in one go. After the meal was full, the master who was about to drop off the plane also arrived at the door to pick us up. Libo Airport is located on the top of the mountain. The road leading to the airport is currently under repair. The road is full of dust and gravel. It is very difficult to walk. It is recommended that you reserve it Allow some more time so as not to miss the flight.
This small airport on the top of the mountain really surprised me. I got out of the car and went straight to the mountain road in front of the door to take pictures. I really didn’t believe in bombing the mountain to build an airport before. I was convinced after seeing it with my own eyes. Libo Airport is very small, there is no queue at check-in and security check, and the rest area is full of rechargeable massage chairs, the overall environment is very comfortable. Standing by the window of the waiting hall, you can see the plane at a close distance. The driver who sent the plane said that because the airport is located on the top of the mountain, it has high requirements for take-off conditions. If it rains for a while, it will fog up and the flight will be delayed or cancelled. In order to drive Libo's tourism economy, the airport is currently being expanded, and Libo will also open a high-speed rail in six years. It will take less than an hour to travel from Guiyang to Libo, which is much more convenient than it is now. However, he is also a little worried. He is afraid that the over-developed tourism economy will affect the current living conditions. Even though he is still relying on the tourist season for a few months to start a small business, he personally likes the tranquility and peace of the original Libo. After all, the current Xiaoqikong and the Xiaoqikong of his memory have changed. And my trip to Libo will come to an end.
3【The beauty of first encounter】
A short journey will always bring surprises, just like the thumping of the first love. I wrote this piece of text here and there, not to attract people's attention, but to leave the beautiful fragments of the first encounter.
Come with me, ready to go. With the one you love, live and love.
