Five highlights of Qiandongnan:
Eat rose candy and chicken hot corner in Qingyan Ancient Town, and then stroll along the back street to feel the elegance and comfort of Stone Town in the afternoon.
The Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village Folk Show, which starts at 11 o'clock every morning, does not have superb singing and dancing skills, but only sounds that cannot be heard in the city.
When walking in the ancient city of Zhenyuan at night, remember to bring a tripod and a SLR camera.
Take the Wuyang River Three Gorges cruise, look at the green mountains on both sides of the river, and enjoy the green river water that cannot be greener.
Fanjing Mountain, one of the five famous Buddhist mountains, persists along the extremely narrow climbing stone steps and climbs to the Golden Summit.
When I came to Guizhou this time, I almost missed the plane. The taxis running fast on the Guangzhou Expressway are simply a reflection of my mood, all kinds of rush. After arriving in Guiyang, a series of traffic connections and press conferences, we, a dozen famous bloggers, were almost in a constant race against time. It seemed that the journey had never been easy from the very beginning.
Driving to Qingyan Ancient Town, which is 50 minutes away from Guiyang, when the road along the way gradually changed from a busy road to a shady green tree, the heartbeat gradually calmed down, and people slowly recovered. Although this quaint town in front of you is not far from the provincial capital Guiyang, it exudes a special kind of leisure in its bones. A group of twenty of us marched in the ancient town, as if it was a particularly large team, disturbing the cleanliness of the place. In a small shop selling rose candy, a technician wearing a chef's hat wields a mallet. His daily job is to smash walnuts and nuts in a large basket, so that the roses can be evenly distributed on the processed nuts among. The steaming hot chicken and Qingyan tofu are placed in boilers at the door of each store, waiting for guests from afar to try this most famous local snack. I also found that there is generally no need to bargain in the sale and purchase of ancient towns, because the price itself is very real. The "Back Street", which is completely piled up with irregular stones into a wall, is hidden in a corner of the Longevity Palace, quite leisurely and elegant.

What is Qingyan Ancient Town famous for? famous snacks
Mingbo Maomao demonstrated to us how the famous snack rose candy is "smashed"~
I'm hungry, what should I do? Clockwise: Qingyan trotters, Qingyan tofu, chicken spicy horn and rose sugar. There are a lot of food tasting shops on this street, so it’s settled after walking around for lunch~~
This is a place where Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Christ, and Catholicism coexist. Qingyan Christian Church, this area is very quiet.
But I still like it the most - the back street. The wall made of irregularly piled stones has a kind of asymmetrical beauty and is very comfortable.
Maybe because I got used to the leisure of Qingyan Ancient Town, I set off for Kaili at 7:30 the next morning, which made my relaxed state tense up again. The tour guide on the bus explained to us apologetically that the reason for getting up so early is to catch up with the Miao folk song and dance performances that start at 11 o'clock every morning in Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. "This show must be watched," the tour guide Xiao Yang told us firmly. "Guizhou is a multi-ethnic area. Three-quarters of the ethnic minorities in the country live here. The Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in Kaili is the base of the Miao people. It is the largest Miao village in the world. The national system, they are unique in terms of clothing, cultural customs and music styles, and they have their own characteristics."
From the moment we entered the Miao Village, we were overwhelmed by the oncoming "barrier wine". At the gate at the foot of the village, an old man of the Miao nationality has been waiting for a long time. There are wine jars and four wine bowls beside him. Guests who want to enter the Miao village must first pass through the first "threshold" of his old man, that is, respectfully respect him. Drink up the wine on your lips. The old man led a group of teams, followed by Miao women dressed up according to the Miao tradition, and a group of musicians playing and singing next to them, the atmosphere was quite lively. Such a blow, a respect, respect is worse than obedience, it is difficult not to drink the wine in his hand. We accepted the first hospitality of Miao Lanmen wine one by one in order. Drinking a cup of Miaojia rice wine dispelled the coldness of the southwest winter, and instantly revived the spirit.
At exactly 11 o'clock, the Miao Village Square exploded, and well-dressed young Miao men and women walked briskly into the venue, stepping on the rhythm of bronze drums and reeds, and the original ecological performance of the Miao people was officially staged. There is no gorgeous lighting effect of Lao Mouzi, only traditional national costumes and simple smiles. There are no superb dancing and singing skills, only voices that cannot be heard in the city. There are no particularly eye-catching GGMMs, but I feel their confidence in their own national style. You can watch this.
Taste the long table feast of Miao Village at noon. The large rectangular table is set up in the room, and all the guests sit around. A series of Miao home-cooked dishes are served on the table by beautiful Miao girls, such as fish in sour soup, braised pork, and spicy fried Houttuynia cordata Have a good time. During the banquet, the girls who served food suddenly sang loudly. There were four girls in total. The two girls in the back were carrying plates with wine jugs and wine glasses on them. Given the chance, no one escapes this etiquette. The round of toasts to me and the chess pieces should be over, because we are the last two guests in the order at that time. Suddenly, after drinking a glass, the first two girls presented us another glass, I muttered in my heart, what is this for? Why do you toast me two when someone else has a drink? Well, let's have another drink, maybe it's because the wine is not finished yet. I leaned forward to drink another glass, and the clean glass was presented again in two seconds, and the wine in the glass overflowed again... What's wrong with this girl, why did she fill me with new wine? ! One cup after another, one cup after another, I have a feeling of being trapped. It turns out that Miao’s parents’ table banquet is like this. It’s a form of etiquette for a girl to toast a guest. Guests can’t sit up, touch glasses with their hands, and finish the wine in front of them. Otherwise, you won’t be allowed to eat the meat, so you have to keep drinking. . Generally, each selected guest has to kill more than 12 cups! This kind of wine is also called "Biang Dang" wine by the locals. Although the alcohol content is not high, it is very easy to drink. If you drink too much, you will easily fall to the ground when you go out. . .
All of us boys were biangdanged, the girl toasting was merciless, and the handsome guys drank to death. The scene was extremely funny, full of laughter and laughter, and it was very lively.
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is an hour and a half drive from Kaili. It is said that it is the residence of the descendants of Chiyou's third son.

The famous host Li Xiuyuan walked into Guizhou with us this time. She is very approachable and has a beautiful smile.
It is undeniable that the costumes of the Miao people are very particular.

If I were to say what impressed me the most during this trip to Guizhou, the answer must be Zhenyuan. Falling in love with this ancient town started at night. When the car parked on the side of the bridge leading to the ancient town that night, the ancient town on both sides of the beautiful Wuyang River shone brightly in the night, showing a high-profile gesture to the world. I couldn't help screaming twice. In my expectation, the strange name Zhenyuan was a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the colorful water town in front of me. The typical Huizhou-style horse head wall extends out of the eaves in a uniform manner. The light hits it and the reflection falls on the water, creating a graceful landscape painting. Spread along the river, as if walking through gardens and mountain buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, with mountains on one side and water on the other, the graceful water town style is ready to emerge.
The night of Zhenyuan Ancient Town. There is no doubt that this is the most beautiful one in the ancient town I visited recently, not one of them.
During the daytime, the ancient town of Zhenyuan, the Hui style horse head wall, and the ancient dwellings have a Jiangnan flavor, but the surrounding green hills suddenly enhance its roughness.
Qinglong Cave is located on Zhonghe Mountain in the east of Zhenyuan City. Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism live together, which is its biggest feature.
Such a beautiful scenery can be easily found on the banks of the Wuyang River in Zhenyuan Ancient Town. Qiandongnan is really full of surprises. Subject: "Zhusheng Bridge" across the Yanghe River in Zhenyuan Ancient Town
Looking down from the top of Qinglong Cave in Zhenyuan, this is the best viewing point overlooking Zhenyuan Ancient Town and Wuyang River. Can the water of the Wuyang River not be so green? Fall in love with one look.
Departing from Zhenyuan Ancient Town to Wuyang River 28 kilometers west of the city, all of our 20 famous bloggers took pictures of Gaoxia Pinghu, waterfalls, springs and flying streams. During the period, the groom and Maomao replayed the classic scene of "Titanic", embracing the front with open arms, obviously treating the Wuyang River as the Atlantic Ocean. My "uncle" Yves put on sunglasses, posed coolly in front of the cameras of famous bloggers, and said that he would make a postcard with the beautiful scenery of Wuyang River and himself to surprise the fans. As for me, Sister Doudou is on the left, and Sister Camera is on the right. The three of us are posing on the deck like 007, haha, majestic on the Wuyang River.
The mountains and rocks on both sides are also very interesting. "Broken Mirror Reunion" is half covered with water and half exposed. The shape of the god is like a "peacock spreading its tail", and its shape is lifelike; "Great Sage, Master and Disciple" and "Mianxiang Mountain" are completely natural, and the whole Wuyang River scenic spot has a bay, a painting, and a scene at a step.
Come to Wuyang River, 28 kilometers west of Zhenyuan City
It's a bit like the Three Gorges. Of course, the river is much smaller, but the water is surprisingly green and emerald green.

On the last day in Southeast Guizhou, I came to the foot of Fanjing Mountain. Fanjing Mountain is the dojo of Maitreya Bodhisattva, and the Maitreya Buddha at the foot of the mountain is impressive.
In winter, the snow scene of Mount Fanjing is moving, with ice hangings and rime everywhere, like being in a white fairyland.
Under the Mushroom Stone in Fanjing Mountain, I couldn't help "playing" Tai Chi
Fanjingshan "Award Ceremony"~~
Mr. Mafu successfully "stripped off" at the Golden Summit of Mount Fanjing, and since then won the reputation of "Brother Surging".

Leisure is the keynote here
The little girl seemed to say to me: "Hi, welcome to Guiyang next time~". This trip to Qiandongnan in Guizhou finally ended at Fanjing Mountain in Tongren. I still remember the rush when I came to Guizhou a week ago. During the 5 days of diving in Southeast Guizhou, the rush was no longer there. However, the mountains, rivers, rivers and national sentiments of Southeast Guizhou have left an imprint on my heart, and it has not left for a long time.
