Gengzi years ago, a sudden epidemic disrupted the pace of people across the country, and fighting the epidemic and staying at home became the main theme of the country. In the twinkling of an eye, it entered April, the earth returned to spring, and the war against the epidemic also won a decisive victory. With the withdrawal of the medical team to Hubei, the resumption of work and production across the country, the resumption of primary and secondary schools, the tourism market is slowly recovering.
Although the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People's Republic of China has not yet launched domestic group tours, the feeling of letting go, which has been suppressed for many days, cannot be stopped. Do a good job of self-protection, choose areas with lower risks, and scenic spots with less traffic. Self-driving travel is the best choice.
On April 19th, flight HO1207 was originally scheduled to take off from Pudong Airport at 7:40 in the morning. One is that the fare is cheaper (350+50 yuan) early in the morning, and the other is that there are fewer people on the early flight to reduce gatherings. As a result, the flight was cancelled, and it was adjusted to HO1209, which took off from Hongqiao Airport at 11:10 noon. There was more time and the airport was closer. After the epidemic, the airport was empty and there was very little traffic. Check-in, security check, and boarding are very convenient. Passengers, stewardesses, and crew members on the plane all wear masks, and no blankets, lunch, drinks, etc. are provided. Only mineral water and small snacks are provided. Arrive at Guiyang Longdongbao Airport on time at 14:00 p.m., go straight down the elevator outside Gate 11 of Terminal T2 to the -1st floor, and then there will be a Ctrip short-dial battery car to pick you up at the airport bus station. Book a car rental on Ctrip in advance for 4 days, and the Chevrolet Kovoz is only 205 yuan (100 yuan discount), and an additional 200 yuan of full insurance is recommended by the shop assistant (the rental fee is low, so you can buy it with confidence).
Open the navigation, the first goal is Qingyan Ancient Town. Qingyan Ancient Town, located in the southern suburbs of Guiyang, is known as one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou (Zhenyuan, Qingyan, Bing'an, Longli). It happened to be Sunday, the weather was fine, and there were many local tourists. The ancient town is free, and the scenic spot ticket is 60 yuan (half price for those over 60 years old). The street along the north gate is full of shops, famous snacks, tourist souvenirs and restaurants. The sauced pig's trotters are a local specialty, so buy them just to try them out. After exiting the south gate, return the same way, and stay at the high-rise hotel by the lakeside of Huaxi Polyxi Lake at night.
On April 20th, after breakfast at the hotel, I drove on the expressway (free of charge during the epidemic period), and arrived at Getu River Scenic Area in Ziyun County at noon. The scenic spot is located in the south of Ziyun City. It takes about 20 kilometers to get off the highway and take the provincial and county roads. The traffic is inconvenient, and most of them are self-driving. The scenic spot is very large, suitable for exploration, hiking, cliff climbing, cycling, etc. Compared with the open area for tourists, it is only a small part. When entering the park, take a battery car to the Dachuandong Wharf and take a boat, go along the river to Dahe Miao Village (it is closed during the epidemic, and the performance is canceled and you cannot go ashore), and return to Dachuandong (also known as Swallow Cave, named for the many bird’s nests in the cave, during the epidemic period, the original spider-man picking bird’s nest performance was canceled), the boat sailed into the cave and turned back near Tongtian Cave, and landed at the Blind Valley Wharf. Here, you can climb to Shangchuan Cave along more than 600 meters of stone steps, overlooking the panoramic view of Getu River. You can also continue down to the Blind Valley to explore the virgin forest (except for the young and strong, ordinary tourists seldom go there). Tickets for scenic spots are 10% off for Anshun people, 30% off for Guizhou people, and 50% off for people from other provinces (free for people over 60 years old), and 30 yuan for battery cars and boats.
Exit the scenic spot and continue westward, get off the expressway in Zhenfeng County, and walk about 10 kilometers along the provincial road to the Shuangrufeng Scenic Area. Arrive at Xingyi City, the capital of Qianxinan Prefecture, to stay in the evening.
On April 21, after breakfast at the hotel, we went to Wanfenglin Scenic Spot in the southern suburb of Xingyi. Today, Guizhou Province launched the "Colorful Guizhou 100-Day Consumption Promotion" campaign. From now until the end of July, all A-level scenic spots in Guizhou are free of charge! Of course, to enter the scenic spot, you must show your health code, scan your travel code, take your body temperature, and make an appointment with your real name on the official website to enter the park (50 yuan for a battery car in the scenic spot). The car stopped at each viewing spot to take pictures, and after a detour, it returned to the exit of the scenic spot through Nahui Village (during the epidemic, the tour and accommodation in the village were closed, and only the "egg fried rice" merchants near the exit were open). The original plan to go out of the scenic spot is to go to Wanfeng Lake and turn into the direction of Hongchun Wharf. This section is a mountain road with steep slopes and bends. Although the scenery is good, the driving is tiring. Besides, there is only one fuel tank left at this time. So I went back the same way after arriving at Tiankeng, and urgently looked for a gas station to refuel (the price of gas is cheap, and it only costs 185 yuan to fill up). Return to the vicinity of the urban area to the Maling River Grand Canyon Scenic Area. This is a free attraction and there are many local tourists. Enter the scenic spot and go down the stairs, or take the sightseeing elevator to the bottom of the valley (30 yuan for one way, 40 yuan for round trip). The scenery of the deep mountain canyon is good, but the uphill and downhill are too tiring, and only the west bank of the canyon is open, and the east bank is closed.
On April 22, return from Xingyi to Xingren, transfer to Naxing Expressway, Shanghai-Kunming Expressway and get off at Qinglong County. The photos of 24 Daoguai are often seen in the history books of the Anti-Japanese War, but it is actually located in Qinglong County. Today, this section of the road is historically protected and other vehicles are prohibited from entering. Tickets can be purchased at the two tourist centers of 1 Daoguai and Qinglong Annan Ancient City (tickets are free, and the battery car is 50 yuan). This battery car must be taken, and it is worth it! The car goes back and forth along the 24th Daoguai Anti-Japanese War Highway from top to bottom and bottom up, and then climbs up to the viewing platform to overlook the panoramic view of the 24th Daoguai Highway (no fog, good view). This section of road connects Yunnan and Burma in the south and Sichuan and Chongqing in the north. The road is rugged and was bombed by Japanese planes, and the U.S. military engineer battalion and Chinese soldiers and civilians rushed to repair it. For the filming of the movie "24 Turns", scenic spots such as the US military gas station, the caravan cottage, and the ancient town of Annan were set up nearby. I didn't look closely at the time relationship.
From Qinglong, take the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway to Anshun and turn west around the city (Anshun has Huangguoshu and Dragon Palace Scenic Spots, so skip it if you have been there), pass through Pu'an Expressway and Chiwang Expressway to Zhijin Cave and go west. Hurry up and walk slowly, arrive at the scenic spot at 4:30, and catch up with the last group to visit the cave at 5 o'clock. Known as the No. 1 cave in the world, Zhijin Cave is 3 kilometers long and takes about an hour and a half to visit. There are all kinds of stalactites in the cave, in various poses and with different expressions, and they are wonderful and unique. You can watch the scenery all the way until the entrance of the cave is almost dusk. The battery car (30 yuan) returns to the exit of the scenic spot. Drive away and continue north to Qianxi County to stay at the hotel.
On April 23, Qianxi County is located in the Bijie area of Guizhou. The Rhododendron is a 5A scenic spot, so it is necessary to visit here. According to the map navigation, it is about 10 kilometers away from the city, and the county road leads to the Baili Rhododendron Jinpo Scenic Spot (there are two scenic spots in Baili Rhododendron, Jinpo and Pudi, and Jinpo is closer to the county seat). It's a pity that the azalea blooming period has passed, and the scenic spot is empty, but the public parking lot at the entrance is privately contracted, and the price is not reduced at 20 yuan per car). There is a battery car (35 yuan) in the park. If you don’t have flowers, you don’t sit on it. You just go out of the scenic spot and return after walking around.
In the afternoon, return the car to Guiyang Longdongbao Airport and buy a high-speed train ticket to Guilin (146 yuan). Because Guiyang is the cheapest air ticket back to Shanghai, Spring Airlines also costs 530 yuan, while Guilin’s air ticket back to Shanghai is only 120 yuan. So I would rather return to Shanghai in a curved line, save the air ticket and go to Guilin for a round.
On the 24th, staying at the Days Hotel in Guilin, the big bed room with breakfast only costs 143 yuan. As a tourist city, Guilin has been severely affected by the epidemic this year. But Guangxi is not as good as Guizhou, and there are no more measures to boost consumption. I went to Guilin in the summer vacation 20 years ago. At that time, I could walk along the Li River to enjoy the scenery and take pictures, and even swim in the river. But nowadays, all the places along the Lijiang River in Xiangshan are artificially blocked. If you want to see the beauty of Xiangshan, you need to buy a ticket of 55 yuan (half price for those over 60 years old). This point really needs to learn from Hangzhou. Afterwards, walk along Binjiang Road to Shanhu Lake to view the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas, stroll along Zhengyang Pedestrian Street (pass Miaowang Street~Food Street for lunch on the way), and return until Dongxi Alley. After checking out in the afternoon, take the airport bus (during the epidemic, every hour, the fare is halved to only 10 yuan), and go to Guilin Liangjiang Airport to take flight CA1970 back to Shanghai. At 22:35, we landed at Pudong Airport ahead of schedule and left with the flow of people. The airport epidemic prevention personnel strictly check the health code of each passenger, which is stronger than Guiyang and Guilin! Shanghai must be a megacity with a large population density, and the epidemic prevention efforts must not be reduced in order to keep the epidemic from spreading. ,
