Traveling to Guizhou in summer is a good choice. The mountains in Guizhou are somewhat similar to those in Guangxi. They are like bamboo shoots. The scientific name is karst landform. Shooting in the hole, dense jungle, steep terrain, full of challenges.
With Guiyang as the center, Huangguoshu Waterfall, Libo Xiaoqikong, and Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village are distributed in a triangle.
Let me talk about Guiyang first, a three-dimensional city. To navigate a place, you need a specific address. Don’t post the location, which may lead to misleading. The prices are not high. There are many motorcycles on the street. We live in the new urban area. There are many high-rise buildings near the twin towers and the White House. Under the twin towers is the Dolphin Plaza, which is positioned as a high-end commercial plaza, but it has not been sold or opened.
This three-dimensional urban architecture feels like being in a three-dimensional space
In the evening, it took a lot of trouble to find a way to eat beef in sour soup, but the price is not expensive. The tea seat fee is 8 yuan per person. You can take your own vegetables, fruits, rice, and small ingredients. I personally feel that it is a good deal.
I am amazed by this building called the White House. Baidu said it was the private property of the owner of Huaguoyuan, and Mr. Mo’s master said it was the district government office building originally planned in this district.
Opposite the White House is a small park with two lakes and several large shopping malls opposite.
Since my partner doesn't eat spicy food, I ate a walnut in Guiyang
This beer is delicious, but expensive
In the evening, I took a motorcycle and went to the center of the old city for a while. The master explained the local anecdotes along the way.
Go and see the landmark building in Guiyang - Jiaxiu Tower
First stop: Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang
It was dusk when we arrived at Miao Village, and the lights were on.
The scenic spot is very big, stop the car, walk for 10 minutes, buy a ticket at the ticket office, take a sightseeing bus, and arrive at the first stop - the viewing platform. It happens that there is a restaurant here with an excellent viewing location. Waiting next to the table guests, they are full, enough to take pictures, we will continue to eat delicious food and beautiful scenery in this place.
The fish in sour soup, fried bacon with bamboo shoots, and the rice wine brewed by the boss are not very tasty, not as soft and glutinous as Guilin's rice wine.
We chose to live on the mountain opposite the viewing platform, at the location of the village tree. The innkeeper is a handsome guy. He was drunk when he came to pick us up. He was hospitable and had a great time drinking with the guests.
When I opened the window in the morning, I saw houses and many inns halfway up the mountain.
Walking on the stone road in the village, there are snacks everywhere, and the mung bean cake tastes good.
The brown sugar millet cake is wrapped in the rice dumpling leaves
There is a museum in the center of Zhaizi, which is rich in content, and you can see local culture, folk customs, etc.
Human origin map of the Miao people, a butterfly marries a blister, lays twelve eggs, and then becomes a human.
local embroidery
This is the bible
Local silver ornaments, combined with embroidery, are a bit expensive, why not make it cheaper, with small profits but quick turnover.
Shou Zhai Drum
At the post office at the corner of the stockade, all the express delivery services are self-filling by scanning codes. Although it is in the mountains, everything is very convenient.
this is a well
Tourists like to wear the traditional costumes of the local Miao people and take pictures. The price of renting clothes is very cheap, and they can be integrated into the atmosphere of the Miao village.
I met a "Brother Ah Niu" on the road and took a group photo together
Wandering around in the stockade, I walked to a local market, similar to a vegetable market, with all kinds of delicious snacks
This is an herb used in stews
Zheergen, Houttuynia cordata, I taste like cool oil, the locals love it very much, but we northerners are not used to it.
This is called fireworks grass, a spice for stewing meat.
The bun on Auntie's head is a wig for a traditional hairstyle.
All kinds of Chinese medicinal materials are claimed to be wild, and I will leave a business card for you. I bought some astragalus.
Silk baby is rice skin wrapped with shredded carrots and cucumbers, then put it in a bowl, add soy sauce and other condiments, similar to Liangpi
This edamame is very delicious, the most fragrant edamame I have ever eaten.
We bought some bacon and postcards and sent them back from the post office, which was very convenient.
Talking about the perfect food, let’s talk about the landscape, the most famous of the Miao Village is the observation deck, the lights of thousands of houses at night, there is a river in the village, which runs through the whole village, there are five or six bridges on the river, the names of the bridges are all unknown characters , I saw golden rice for the first time.
Near the exit, there is an idyllic scenery. Just as the rice is ripening, the smoke is curling up, and the rice is golden. I took a lot of photos here, but I can’t show her beauty.
Passing by the viewing platform again during the day, another scene, it is necessary to have another meal at that restaurant
Butterflies are used as totems in the local area, and the silver ornaments are very distinctive, but the price is too expensive.
In fact, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village gave me the feeling that commercialization is too serious. Apart from inns, they are shops and restaurants that sell things. I heard that it is more interesting to catch up with the Mongol New Year. There are some dances and activities. If you go there on weekdays , It seems that I feel that I can leave after taking a few photos on the viewing platform.
Second stop: Huangguoshu Waterfall
You can see this big sign on the highway, isn't it cool?
Tickets for Huangguoshu Waterfall need to be booked in advance, and generally you can’t buy them on the day. The farmer’s inn near the scenic spot where we stayed, the boss gave a QR code and bought a ticket to enter the park at 2:30 p.m. When I came out, the inn was very clean, the standard room was 100 yuan, and there was a big mountain outside the window. The boss was very enthusiastic and told us that we could drive to a parking lot, where there are transportation vehicles for entering and leaving the scenic spot. The ticket is valid for 2 days. After admission, you can directly scan your face to enter The garden is very advanced.
On the traffic bus in the scenic area, I am used to chatting with the master, which is very beneficial. The master told me to go straight to the door, go upstream, see the Doupotang Waterfall, and then walk to a cement bridge and walk along the road. Go to the top of Huangguoshu Waterfall, and look down at Huangguoshu Waterfall from above.. Oh my God, I was so confused, I turned on my phone and recorded what the master said, and then I went completely right, and this It is a very good line, and it is more clear when it is accompanied by the picture.
Get off at the station of Doupotang, and when you enter the door, you will see such a big waterfall. You are very excited. You think this is Doupotang, but it is not. It should be called Yingbin Waterfall.
Going up this trail is equivalent to going upstream
Doupotang Waterfall is famous because in Journey to the West, the scene of the four masters and apprentices walking in front of the waterfall was shot here. It is very spectacular. The photos cannot show the true appearance of the splashing water and the rumbling sound of the water. You have to experience it yourself.
After taking photos at Doupo Pond, go back, cross a cement bridge, and walk to the other side of the river. The dense forest is quiet and the water is gurgling.
Because of the shooting of Journey to the West here, there is a stone for drying scriptures on the side of the road, which is considered a man-made landscape.
When I saw this thatched cottage, I was very excited and said that it would be great for me to live in this thatched cottage in such a beautiful place. Later, I saw that it was a bathroom, so I came up with the idea of cleaning after retirement.
When you come to this intersection, don't choose to take a car. Cross this path and continue walking, which is the top of Huangguoshu Waterfall.
I really admire Xu Xiake, my idol, who traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland in the era when the traffic was so underdeveloped, the public security was not so good, and wild animals were infested.
After passing the stone bridge, with the sound of water flowing, walk along the wooden plank road in the lush forest
Through an ancient banyan garden
There is a car camp park and a church next to the scenic road.
Walking through the dense forest, following the sound of water, I finally saw the true face of Huangguoshu. The surprise, the rumbling sound, was so spectacular. I hurriedly chose different angles, different positions, different foregrounds, and different filters to take pictures.
Walking down this boardwalk, we will walk down from the top of Huangguoshu Waterfall
Lu Yuqixiang, I checked it out, this small white flower is called Qianlixiang, and its name is well-deserved
Everyone buys a raincoat. If you don’t buy one, you need extra clothes. It’s not safe to hold an umbrella, and it will hinder others. It is recommended to bring your own raincoat. The most amazing thing about Huangguoshu Waterfall is that it is possible to drill under the water curtain of the waterfall and cross the entire waterfall. It is said that the flow is limited during the peak season.
It was the off-season when we went, because the entrance of the cave was narrow, it was impossible to take a decent photo, and I advise you to take safety as the premise when going out to play.
This is a photo taken inside the cave.
After leaving the cave, I was inevitably wet all over. These disposable raincoats were discarded, hoping not to cause environmental pollution.
There is also a suspension bridge after coming out.
Singing the mountain mane to worship the water bell should be a form of local blessing.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, the other two points are not allowed to enter the park. I plan to continue to visit tomorrow. I took the world's longest outdoor viewing escalator (340 meters long) and arrived at the exit of Huangguoshu Waterfall. There are many rockery bonsai small garden.
The meals at the inn are simple and delicious, and this large bottle of Moutai loose wine can be seen everywhere.
The third stop: Libo Big and Small Seven Holes
After waking up on the second day of Huangguoshu Waterfall, there was light rain and misty fog in the mountains, so I decisively gave up the remaining two scenic spots and drove to Libo Xiaoqikong. This charming town is not far from the east gate of the Xiaoqikong scenic spot. It is within walking distance to the scenic spot. It is convenient for accommodation and meals. It is a pity. What kind of summer party is going to be held, singing in the big square until 11 o'clock at night It’s legal, it’s non-stop, and it’s not easy to complain. The local government allows this. These managers don’t want to think about it. Tourists come to consume to see nature, and consumption here is food, lodging and rest. Who will come here to sing karaoke , I originally booked two days of accommodation, but I had no choice but to return for one day and went to live in Libo Ancient Town.
Yaojia native chicken tastes good.
This is fried sweet potato seedlings, very delicious.
There are two gates for the big and small seven holes in Libo. Because we stayed in that small town, we walked to the east gate. After entering, it was very close to the entrance of the big seven holes. After visiting the big seven holes, we went to the small seven holes and found that it was countercurrent The one who went up seems to be going backwards, but I feel that this line is more beautiful. The exit is at the other end. Take the traffic car to return to this gate. The heel hurts from walking, and the ticket is also valid for two days.
Put a picture of the scenic spot taken by the mobile phone, it is not very clear, but it is very useful. We entered from the east gate, went upstream to visit Xiaoqikong, arrived at the west gate, and took a traffic bus back to the east gate. Generally, tourists enter from the west gate , Going down the river, it is recommended to live in that small town (don’t sing endlessly at night), visit the big seven holes on the first day, part of the small seven holes to the Broken Bridge Waterfall is relatively strong, the next day again Visit the remaining scenic spots in Xiaoqikong. It is said that Yuanyang Lake is good. Set aside 2 hours to enter by boat and slowly appreciate the beauty of nature.
The weather is particularly good. Once you enter the scenic spot, put the Buddha into a picture scroll, and put the Buddha in the Wizard of Oz.
Entering the Daqikong Scenic Area, there is a boat to sit on. We walked up the river and returned by boat. The boat was on the blue waves, and people were swimming in the middle of the painting.
Daqikong is a narrow and long canyon with the theme of an emerald river, blue sky and white clouds, towering mountains, and gurgling river water, but it is too narrow and long, and it is difficult to take pictures of the whole scene. It is still necessary for friends to be personally on the scene.
Here is like Chongqing's natural three bridges, a line of sky
This Batu Cave looks like a snake head, because my companion always urges me to walk and won’t let me rest, he is afraid of snakes, so I always call “snake” wherever I go...
The road in and out of the scenic spot is very narrow, and the aunts take pictures in various shapes in different places
Get on a bamboo raft boat and go out from the picturesque fairyland
At the exit of Daqikong, it should be a good choice to live here next time
This is the Xiaoqikong that I am thinking about. In fact, the Xiaoqikong scenic spot is the highlight. There are many waterfalls. There is a lake that needs to be visited by boat. We have time to do it. We didn’t go to that lake. It’s very interesting to have a forest on the water.
Short of a buffalo and an old man herding cattle,
All the way along the riverside plank road, upstream, this river is called Xiangshui River, there are 68 waterfalls, in this situation, their names are not important, what is important is that you are here... ...
Many blue dragonflies by the river, fantastic beauty
We are going upstream, the sound of rushing water, accompanied by tired footsteps, our eyes are in heaven, and our feet are in hell
Before I went, I read the travel notes and saw that many people’s photos were of such emerald green water. I thought that the real scenery was much more beautiful than the photos because of the filter.
This is called orchid grass, which reminds me of a song when I was a child: I came from the mountains with orchid grass. …
Mr. Mantis is here to cultivate immortals, right?
This waterfall also has a name. It seems to be called the Broken Bridge Waterfall. People walk under the waterfall. Many people are willing to take pictures of tourists here.
This is called Yuanyang Lake, a natural karst plateau lake. I need to buy another ticket for boating tour. I am too tired. I will save it for the next time.
Handmade embroidery by local minority women, the price is quite expensive, similar to cross-stitch
This seems to be the most spectacular waterfall, called Feiyun Waterfall, above which is Wolongtan, a crescent-shaped barrage, and a water curtain formed by green water, like a fairy comb.
The yellow one is called Hudixiao, and the red one is Bianhua
This is the water forest, walking on the water with all kinds of stones, if the children come, they must get their shoes wet
Walking and walking, I came to a secluded place, which seemed to be an undeveloped place. The artistic conception was really good. I was already half-tired, and I ran in for a while to explore
I found a lot of other shore flowers, one, two, three, a large piece...
In the evening, drive to Libo Ancient Town for accommodation. This is not an ancient primitive ancient town, but a newly built tourist distribution center with antique buildings.
The 10 yuan and 20 rounds of balloons on the square, the locals are very honest, the gun has never been tampered with, I saw that I smashed the ball with my hand, and it can be described as a hundred hits. The youngest son of the proprietress looked at me with admiration, and finally I asked The proprietress: Would you like to move the table to the back for you so that you don’t lose money? The proprietress said: No, after all, there are not many customers who are as accurate as you are. This sounds really useful.
Liu Yishou's bean curd fish tastes good
The trip to Guizhou is very memorable. The natural landscape is beautiful and magical, which makes people think twice. Remember, you must visit the Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot for two days, otherwise you will be too tired, and you will miss a lot of photos. It is easy in Guiyang If you get lost, the navigation must guide you to a certain building in a certain community. If you go to the wrong intersection, you will not be able to return for an hour. There are also scenic spots such as Zhijin Cave. Natural karst caves, the roads in various scenic spots are relatively narrow, the best choice Go out in the off-season.
