As a self-driving enthusiast working in the tourism planning and planning industry, I never thought that during the project inspection work, I would encounter such a sightseeing scenic spot that directly hits the soul and can make me sigh with only the natural beauty!
Getu River is located in Ziyun County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province, a national scenic spot and a national 4A tourist attraction. Entrusted by the owner to do the operation quality improvement plan, a plane ticket in June brought me and my colleagues to meet here unexpectedly. The word "Getu" comes from Miao language, which translates as "Holy Land". There are not only beautiful and unique natural scenery, but also rich Miao customs, and it is also a paradise for outdoor sports.
Before visiting, it is the basic professional ethics of tourism practitioners to carry out a lot of background. As early as 1999, the French professors of geography Richard Maiye and Auber Béon visited Ziyun for the third time and exclaimed: "The Anshun area of Guizhou is the area with the most karst landforms and the most concentrated area. The Tuhe karst landform is one of the most beautiful places in the world." In 2006, it was selected as the most beautiful place in China, and was included in the Rock Climbing Sports Base of Guizhou Province and the first batch of national natural and cultural heritage preparatory lists.
Mysterious Getu River
Mysterious
There is a thousand-year-old beauty, a thousand-year legend, and a thousand-year mystery. This is the Ziyun Getu River. Here are the fascinating King Yalu culture, the mysterious hanging coffin cave burial site, the "living fossil" of ancient primitive cliff climbing with bare hands, and the "spiderman" of the Miao family, the father of modern rock climbing...
Legendary Yalu King
According to legend, King Yalu is a royal descendant of the Miao tribe more than 2,000 years after Chi You—the eighteenth generation king of the Miao tribe. More than 2,000 years ago, he led the Miao tribe to migrate from northeast to southwest, fighting all the way, opening up thousands of miles of territory, Finally, I came to the incredible place of Mashan, Guizhou, and established the home of the Miao people in Southwest China.
"King of Yalu", the epic epic of the Miao nationality, which has been sung throughout the ages, records its magnificent historical migration scenes and the tragic historical legend of opening up territories, which is shocking and admirable. In 2011, it was officially approved by the State Council to be included in the third batch of national intangible cultural heritage list. After three years of collection and arrangement, the first part of "King Yalu" was published in February 2012.
Eternal Hanging Coffin Burial
Cave burial and cliff burial are ancient customs of the Miao people, which are still preserved in some villages in Ziyun County. It is said that when Chi Youxi, the ancestor of the Miao nationality, moved here, his people and descendants hoped that their souls would return to their hometown after death, so they did not want to be buried in the ground.
rock wall spider man
I don’t know when, Donglang, a singer of the Miao nationality, buried the ancestors of the Miao people who passed away on the cliffs on both sides of the valley on their backs. They have passed on this peerless miraculous skill to this day, becoming the only cliff dancers in the world and unique to China - "Spider-Man".
They fly to the highest and most hidden places that only swallows can reach, without any protection measures, and walk easily between mountains, cliffs and caves. Relying on this unique skill that has been passed down for thousands of years, there are only 6 people in the world who climb rocks with bare hands.
At present, the "Spiderman" rock climbing performance in the scenic spot is mainly on the left wall of the Dachuan Cave. The climbing height is 108 meters, and the fastest up and down is 7 minutes. It makes people short of breath, blood swells, and feels thrilling and exciting. Every year, many domestic and foreign rock climbing enthusiasts come here especially.

The spacious cave hall is the kingdom of swallows. From the Qingming Festival of the lunar calendar to the Chongyang Festival in September, tens of thousands of eagle swallows fly in the cave, building nests and inhabiting it, so it is commonly known as "Swallow Cave" and "Swallow Palace".

The top wall of the cave has a peculiar landscape, which is loved by rock climbers from all over the world, and their climbing footprints can be seen everywhere on the cliff.
The slopes and valleys outside the cave are covered with subtropical plants such as wild plantains, palm bamboos, and Chinese wild solitary plants, which are evergreen all year round. In the early morning, wisps of sunlight pass through the entrance of the cave and reflect the light on the Getu River, which is magical and magnificent, commonly known as "the light of the gods".
Wangtian Cave
"Wangtian Cave" is a 370-meter-deep, 200-meter-wide tiankeng, which connects the big piercing hole and the piercing hole.
Blessing Cave
The Prayer Cave is also known as the "Hidden Coffin Cave". It is said that the Yalu royal family was buried in this cave, and was later reduced to ashes by the fire, and the five coffins were burned down. The Miao people don't believe in Buddhism, they only believe in their ancestors. In order to pray for their ancestors, five drums were placed in this cave, and each drum corresponds to a word: Fu, Lu, Shou, Xi, Cai. I hope that the ancestors will bless them with good health, prosperity, prosperity, longevity, happiness, and wealth. The culture of blessing has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
Dahe Miao Village
blind valley
Miao Wangjian
The strange peak rises abruptly, pointing directly at the sky like a sword, with a majestic aura. According to legend, Xu Dao, the ancestor of the Miao nationality, drove the mountains from east to west to fill the sea, leaving behind a sharp sword to protect the safety of the tribe from generation to generation. It is also said that King Miao led his people to migrate thousands of miles and chose this place, and put a sword in it as a record.
Tianci Lake
Located about 500 meters south of Dahe Miao Village, it is a natural lake with karst landform. It is like a mirror inlaid in the green bushes. It looks like a sacred object bestowed by God to the local Miao people, so it is named "Tianci Lake". There are three springs in the lake. During the high water season, the lake falls to inject water, and the lake overflows to drain water, which is mysterious and strange.
echo valley
Talking and singing here is like standing on the echo wall of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, which will resonate and make the sound spread farther.
