Libo Xiaoqikong
Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot, located in the south of Libo County, is a national nature reserve. There is a Qikong Bridge built in the 15th year of Daoguang in the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area, hence the name of the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area.
More than a hundred years of vicissitudes have not changed the beautiful mountains and rivers here. Now Xiaoqikong Scenic Area, which has become a world natural heritage, has Wolong Lake, Yuanyang Lake, water forest, and 68-level waterfalls interlaced with waterfalls and lakes... ··, along the way, the scenery is a collection of mountains, water, stones, caves... it is really beautiful.
Among these scenic spots, the one that makes me miss the most is Yuanyang Lake. Yuanyang Lake is so beautiful that it cannot be described in words. The lake water is shining with golden light among the greenery. Listen to the spirit of nature in the quiet lake water. There is a water labyrinth in the lake surrounded by green trees. Three or five friends can sail in it, even playing water fights will disturb the quiet time. It is best to abandon the pulp and enjoy the slow time quietly. This is a fairyland in the water, and this is the secret of Xanadu. .
During the absence of the epidemic, there are people rowing here, 30 yuan per person; but in the extraordinary period of the epidemic, now you can only row the boat by yourself, and you can play for a few hours for 30 yuan. I think it is more interesting to row by myself, and enjoy it while drifting The beauty of nature is really very pleasant.
Xiaoqikong Scenic Area can be played in two ways, or enter from the east gate and exit from the west gate; or enter from the west gate and exit from the east gate. We started from Wolongtan in the east gate. There are battery cars in the scenic area. You can take the battery car to the scenic spots you want to visit. However, if you want to enjoy Xiaoqikong well, it is best to stay in the scenic spot for one night, so that you are very likely to take pictures of the misty Qikong Bridge in the early morning. The most important thing is to avoid the crowds during the day. The Seven-Arch Bridge with a century of vicissitudes belongs to you alone (●'?'●)
Among the small seven holes, my favorite is the Yuanyang Lake below. The sunlight shining on the water surface through the gaps in the trees makes the trees and the lake shrouded in dense light, like a dream... ··
Yuanyang Lake gets its name from the two trees that echo each other in the lake, and the words "Mandarin Duck Tree" are written on the trees. And we rowed our own boats from two mandarin duck trees into the depths of the lake.
We walked to the shore, and the staff on the shore actually said, "You can continue to paddle a few more laps." There has never been such a good treatment at any scenic spot, (*^__^*) hehe... It's just that the time is limited, and we can't stay here all the time. Boating here. Abandon the boat and go ashore to Tianzhong Cave.
There are also various stalactites in the Tianzhong Cave, and there are also various lights. What is different from other caves is that there are no railings here, so you can enjoy the strange-shaped stalactites at close range.
Coming out of Tianzhong Cave, on the way to Cuigu Waterfall, there is a small stream flowing through, forming a natural water bridge. We walked through the water. The stones under the water are a bit slippery and thorny, so we must wear Shoes to wade through this water, otherwise it is really easy to get hurt.
Cuigu Waterfall pours down from the green mountains, looking like jade belts across the mountains from a distance, and the waves splashing nearby.
Cuigu Waterfall is the waterfall with the largest drop in Xiaoqikong Scenic Area, and it is also the filming location of "Adventure with Master Pei".
After playing in the water under Cuigu Waterfall for a while, we continued to move forward, and the water forest gave us a different visual beauty.
After the water forest comes out, it is the scenic spot of the stone forest. It's just that my friends and I were greedy for playing in the water and missed the Shishang scenic spot.
Directly to the 68-level drop waterfall, the 68-level drop waterfall is in a 1.6-kilometer-long valley, in the undulating riverbed, there are 68-level drops and waterfalls scattered, the waterfalls are either graceful or pounding. Majestic, or like jade beads scattered or rolled up like a thousand piles of snow, beautiful in various poses and with different expressions.
If you want to feel Xiaoqikong in silence, if you want to experience the vicissitudes of Xiaoqikong in silence for a hundred years, then it must be in the early morning, when Xiaoqikong is exclusive to you.
I have seen a lot of water and mountains, and walked through many rivers and mountains, but the lush and colorful mountains and waters of Xiaoqikong still gave me unforgettable beauty, especially Yuanyang Lake is really a beautiful place to go boating.
Maolan National Nature Reserve
Saying goodbye to Xiaoqikong in the early morning, we went to Maolan National Nature Reserve. There are dense virgin forests, waterfalls, and many undeveloped underground caves in the reserve. The various stones in the underground caves are traces of time. , but also the footprints of the years.
Maolan Scenic Area is the core area of the southern karst world natural heritage. Maolan covers an area of more than 200 square kilometers. It was selected as "one of the ten most beautiful forests in China" by China National Geographic magazine. It is very good to feel the charm of mountains and rivers while walking outdoors. Good choice. We chose a part of the route to drill the cave according to the time. Of course, this undeveloped cave needs to find a local guide.
We went to Maolan to see the fast-moving Qinglong Waterfall, drilled a few primitive caves, saw the misty Huangyanggou, and watched the Latan Waterfall. The Xixiegou was closed due to too much water.
We only walked Maolan for one day, and we were exhausted. The most important thing was that the journey of climbing the mountain and drilling the cave was too hard, and we climbed up and down several hills. If you want to visit all of Maolan easily, it really takes three or two days to walk slowly.
It was night, and we stayed at the Dongdao Tribe Hotel in the scenic area. The Dongdao tribe located in the Maolan Reserve is famous for the "Maolan Valley International Music Festival" held in 2017. The Dongdao tribe is mainly composed of Shui and Buyi people, and the stilted buildings are full of ethnic minorities.
Saying goodbye to the winding mountains of Maolan, the tranquility of the Dongdao tribe, and the most beautiful mountains and rivers in Libo, we set off for Zhenyuan Ancient Town today.
Zhenyuan Ancient Town
Zhenyuan Ancient Town is located on the banks of the Wuyang River in Zhenyuan County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. It is surrounded by mountains and the river winds through the town in an "S" shape. This ancient town with more than 20 ethnic groups has a history of more than 2,300 years. Several times of vicissitudes of life, several times of iron horse Jinge, this place has long been peaceful.
Before going to Zhenyuan Ancient Town, we took a boat tour on the Wuyang River. Wuyang River is divided into Upper Wuyang River and Lower Wuyang River. Upper Wuyang River is most famous for Jiang Taigong’s fishing, and Lower Wuyang River is most famous for its peacocks spreading its tail and three folds of water.
In order to see the whole picture of the night view of the ancient town, we climbed to Shiping Mountain behind the ancient town. Ask the staff at the entrance of the scenic spot if they can climb Shiping Mountain to see the night view, and tell us that Shiping Mountain cannot be climbed now. We were curious when the enthusiastic tour guide told us that when Shiping Mountain could be climbed, we started climbing without hesitation. The fact is that Shiping Mountain can be climbed completely. Many people are waiting on the top of the mountain to see the whole night view of the ancient town, even if they don’t want to see the lights. , to see the whole picture of the ancient town in Bairi, Shiping Mountain is also worth climbing.
At night in the ancient town, the hustle and bustle exudes incomparable ease. The bustling food street in the ancient town is full of people, and the bar street is full of moving voices. Under the lights, the ancient streets emit a faint light, which is the imprint of time worn by countless ancestors, and it is also the past of countless historical vicissitudes.
When dining in the evening, the mountain and flowing water arranged by the tour guide pushed the dinner to a climax.
high river rafting
Leaving Zhenyuan Ancient Town, we rushed to Gaoguo River for rafting. Rafting across the river is really exciting. Compared with philosophy, the rafting that I have played several times in Anji before is really childish.
Gaoguohe is located in Yangchang Town, northwest of Zhenyuan County, and has the reputation of a holiday and rafting paradise. It’s just really exciting O(∩_∩)O haha~
Before rafting, tell the lifeguard that once we pass through, you must save me quickly, I can’t swim, hahaha, in fact, as long as I have a good balance and hold my hand hard, I will basically not pass through.
On the dangerous shoal, fortunately, it was not buckled, (*^__^*) . It takes about three hours to raft Gaoguo River. Due to the long time, physical work needs to replenish energy. There are various local snacks on the bank of Gaoguo River, such as grilled fish (small fish in the Gaoguo River), etc. The taste is also delicious. Really good.
The screaming above the river is the whistle of the end of the holiday. At this point, our whole trip in Libo is over.
In the evening we will leave this beautiful mountain, this clear water,
Libo is a place where you want to come again once you have been there. The intoxicating mountains and rivers here are the most generous gift of nature and the most beautiful gift.
