It’s my first time to visit Ctrip. It’s very interesting to see many friends write about their travel experiences. I thought I’d write about it too, so that I can see the places I’ve been to when I’m old.
Whenever I have some time, I want to go out for a walk, see the world, and discover new "continents". A few days ago, my friend asked me to go to a place in Yanhe Tujia Autonomous County. Because we were traveling by car and had no preparations for the first time, we wanted to see if we could meet interesting things, but we were pleasantly surprised.

Night tour of Wujiang River
Seeing such an intoxicating river surface, we must go for a visit. We had a meal and with the help of the locals, we came to the Lizhixia Tourist Service Center. In fact, thinking of my experience of getting seasick on the first boat ride, I was still a little apprehensive when I took the boat for the second time. But when you come here and see such a dreamy ship, your frightened heart is already ready to move, and your feet have already stopped listening to you.
The night view of a big city is noisy and lively, which makes many lonely people linger, but the night view of a small county town is like a jadeite in a small family. She just stayed there quietly, inadvertently teasing your heartstrings
The green grass is green, the white mist is vast, and there is a beautiful woman on the side of the water; I would like to go upstream and snuggle by her side, but there is a dangerous beach in front of me, and the road is long and far away. She is in the middle of the water.
It's time to get to Maotan, and something is happening with meowing.
Come to some bonus "Tujia Folk Songs", the scene is more joyful!
Visit Lizhi Gorge on the second day
"Lizhi Gorge" is the most beautiful canyon in Wujiang River, with the most beautiful wrinkles on the earth; it is a hidden treasure of the canyon on the earth. People who have seen it all said, "The Big Three Gorges and the Small Three Gorges. I still see Lizhi Gorge today"!
About 280 million to 180 million years ago, the great orogenic movement caused the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to stand up from the unfathomable sea. If we compress the long evolution process of the earth's crust into a short film, we can see It will be seen that at the edge of the ancient Mediterranean, the Indian subcontinent floating on the ocean moved northward and collided violently with the Eurasian continent, causing a magnificent scene of huge changes in the crust. Three major fold movements formed today's Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and also formed limestone and shale deposits with a thickness of 3000-6000 meters. About 70 million to 2 million years ago, in this karst area, due to the erosion of rainwater and the weathering of rocks, the Lizhi Canyon was born.
Yanhe is the only Tujia Autonomous County in Guizhou Province among the four single ones in the country. The county has a land area of 2,468.8 square kilometers and a total population of 688,000, of which the Tujia population is 434,000, accounting for more than 63% of the total population.
Wujiang Gorge National Scenic Area, National Water Conservancy Scenic Area, Mayang River National Nature Reserve, Red Classic Tourist Area of Revolutionary Base of Eastern Guizhou Special Zone, Hometown of Tujia Folk Songs in China, Hometown of Chinese Folk Art, Hometown of Ancient Chinese Tea Trees, The hometown of Hollow Li in China, the hometown of Francois Langur in China, and the top 100 deep-breathing towns in China.
A boat full of guests, set off!
Tujia Yaomei came to sing folk songs.
The folk songs of the Tujia nationality have beautiful tunes, simple and unpretentious melodies, sincere and warm emotions, rich content, diverse materials, exquisite ideas, fresh language, rich life flavor, and unique national color.
Ascend - Overlord Valley
Before my thoughts came out of the mysterious picture scroll of Lizhi Gorge, the boat docked at Siqu Wharf, followed the guide on the ferry, and came to the legendary Bawang Valley.
In the villages around Bawang Valley, there are more than 400 households surnamed Xiang and more than 700 households surnamed Liu. After in-depth investigation and textual research, they are indeed descendants of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. Back then, after Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu in the next battle in Gai, he was afraid of their revenge, so he ordered the original Xiang Yu's ministries not to have the surname Xiang anymore, and all of them changed their surname to Liu, which was also called "Give the surname Liu". Some Xiang clans were afraid of losing their heads and obeyed, while others refused to obey, and fled all the way to Guizhou through Jiangxi, Hunan and other places, and finally settled down in Bawang Valley on the edge of Wujiang River, where they lived and multiplied until today.
A long time ago, it was said that this place was not called "Bawang Valley", but "Heihaohao". Because people outside have no way to go into the valley, looking down from the top of the mountain, the bamboo forest below is densely covered with blackness, so people outside call this place "Heihaohao". There lived a strange family in "Heihaohao". They lived an isolated life. They had to pass a ladder-shaped stone wall when they entered and exited "Heihaohao". It's a ostentation, because they can fly over the wall.
The family does not grow crops, they fish for a living, and occasionally collect some bamboo shoots to sell in the market. I don’t know how much time has passed, and I don’t know the reason. One afternoon, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and there were a few loud noises in the "black trench". But since then, there has been a stalagmite in the shape of a bamboo shoot and a stone mountain in the shape of a sedan chair on the rock. This is the stalagmite mountain and sedan chair mountain that people see now.
Among the many scenic stalagmites in Bawang Valley, there is a huge "Bawang Head", which has been unknown for thousands of years. With the discovery and opening of Bawang Valley, it has attracted people's attention. The ancient overlord's head is located in the center of the Western Chu officials, dozens of times larger than other stalagmites. He wears a golden helmet, his eyes are full of spirit, and he has the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with gold and iron horses. How did the overlord's avatar come about?
Walking out of the Overlord Valley, after sighing, I couldn't help looking back at Xiang Yu and his twenty-eight warriors, and at the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty. I couldn't help but hear the besieged, earnest local accent, which made people sad and painful. Why are there so many conflicts in the world? Why are there conflicts? Where are the influential figures of the past? Only hills, stone forests and intriguing stories are left for people to remember and comprehend. Looking back at the past, I can't help but think of Su Dongpo's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" "The great river goes east, the waves wash away, and the romantic people of the ages..."
Sizhou Hot Spring
I was a little tired at the end of the day, but the tour guide introduced their hot springs during the tour, thinking that we must go to experience it to relieve fatigue, and it is just next to the hotel we are staying at, so it is more convenient.
Hot spring is a kind of spring water, which gushes out naturally from the ground. The temperature of the spring mouth is significantly higher than the local average annual temperature of underground natural spring water, and contains mineral spring water with trace elements that are beneficial to human health.
Snacks along the river
Although the scenery is beautiful, you still need to find something to eat. The following is a snack along the river. In their local language, it means "the taste of Ba Shi".
I hope that my travel notes will help more people find places to visit accurately, avoid going wrong, and avoid visiting no-man's land.
