Yelang country shows a new look, my ten-day experience in Guizhou.

foreword

        Guizhou, referred to as "Qian" or "Gui", the provincial capital Guiyang City, is located in the southwest of China, on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. In ancient times, Yelang Kingdom was located in a remote corner, with backward transportation and weak economic foundation. It has been often described as a "wild land" since ancient times. Because it is hidden in the southwestern inland, with poor transportation and closed information, there have been many derogatory words to describe Guizhou since ancient times. : Yelang is arrogant, Guizhou donkey has a poor way... Ordinary people's understanding of her is basically "the sky is not sunny for three days, the ground is not three feet flat, and people are not three cents silver". It is a poor land, Therefore, Guizhou has always been the epitome of poverty and backwardness. After liberation, although there were vigorous developments in the Southwest, the third-line construction, etc., Guizhou has always been one of the most economically backward provinces in the Southwest and China. In the eyes of ordinary people, Guizhou, a barren land with a weak economic foundation, has won Apart from Moutai and Tao Huabi’s old godmother, I really can’t think of any outstanding things in Guizhou that make people remember. Also, although it is located in the southwestern Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan Plateau, provinces like Yunnan and Sichuan developed tourism resources earlier. , is relatively mature in terms of tourism development and supporting facilities, and has relatively large publicity and promotion, so more people go there. However, Guizhou's tourism resources seem to have no more eye-catching attractions except for a Huangguoshu Waterfall. Therefore, Guizhou is also the only province on the territory of mainland China that I have not yet set foot in.

       The so-called "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi". In recent years, Guizhou's economy has begun to make a big comeback. The former poverty and backwardness have protected Guizhou's ecological environment to the greatest extent. Its continuous improvement of infrastructure and good weather conditions have provided Guizhou with excellent conditions for the development of big data and big ecological industries. ! In recent years, Guizhou's GDP growth rate has been among the best. Most of the world's data cloud disks are stored in Guizhou. The world's largest single-aperture radio telescope "China Sky Eye" is in Guizhou. It has been verified that today's Guizhou is the only province in western China where expressways are connected to each county; Guizhou has many world-leading high-speed bridges, and the world's tallest bridge is here! There is a saying at the moment: the bridges of the world look at China, and the bridges of China look at Guizhou! Of the world's 100 bridges, Guizhou accounts for half of them. There are more than 20,000 bridges, and dozens of "world firsts" have been created. They are called the world's "Canyon Bridge Museum". Mountain Kaishan: Against the sky to change fate · Niu Colu · Guizhou!

       Guizhou is now attracting worldwide attention, and has been rated by foreign media as: "One of the 52 most worth visiting tourist destinations in the world", "China's undervalued and beautiful holy land"...Guizhou, it is the "New York Times" It is a must-see travel destination in a lifetime; it is determined by the United Nations World Cultural Association as one of the top 10 tourist destinations in the world; it is awarded as one of the 18 ecological and cultural protection circles in the world by the protection of the world's rural culture; it is recommended by "Lonely Planet" It is one of the most worthwhile places in China. Guizhou has grown from a neglected landscape to a tourist province that is catching up with Yunnan and Sichuan next door. Especially since the outbreak of the national epidemic at the beginning of this year and the number of infections in various provinces has risen in turn, Guizhou has been in a low-risk state. With the gradual resumption of work and production across the country, Guizhou is still leading the trend, including tourism. Guizhou is the first province to announce that all tourist attractions in the province will be free of tickets until July 31. Ticketing activities can save a lot of ticket money! And every year from late July to early August is the period for the welfare of the unit and the high temperature holiday. It is impossible to go abroad for this high temperature holiday this year, so let’s go to Guizhou for a while! It also allows me to draw a complete stroke on the map of mainland China.

Preparation before travel

        After deciding to go to Guizhou, I quickly placed an order to buy an air ticket on July 8, which is the bulk of the entire travel cost, because I have to enjoy the free admission policy for Guizhou tourist attractions before July 31, 2020 (after August 1, 2020 Tickets are half price until December 31, 2020), and it is decided to leave one day before the unit’s high-temperature holiday on July 24, because everyone knows that tickets for tourist attractions are not cheap now, and you can get a little bit. This year, due to the impact of the epidemic, the risk of flying is relatively high, so a large number of people have been scared away. The air tickets from Shanghai to Guiyang are much cheaper than in previous years. We decided to choose a big company and not choose the cheapest red-eye flight. And the flight without free luggage, I finally chose the flight of China Southern Airlines. Because of the itinerary and holiday factors, the outbound journey: Shanghai Pudong Airport (CZ3658) 15:35 to Guiyang Longdongbao Airport at 16:20 on July 24, and the return journey: August 2 Guiyang Longdongbao Airport (CZ6577) 17:50-Shanghai Pudong Airport 20:40, round-trip fare 860.00. Our itinerary is ten days in total, and the last two days of the itinerary are already in August. We can no longer enjoy the free admission policy, but we have returned to Guiyang as planned. There are basically no scenic spots in Guiyang that require expensive tickets to enter. .

       After getting the air ticket, quickly place an order at xx car rental and reserve the car. We still choose the self-driving method of flying first and then renting a car locally as usual, because the Hyundai IX35SUV that Ning Ganqing chose for self-driving last year felt good, and this time we chose xx Car rental This Hyundai IX35SUV, this time it is the latest model in 2020. Compared with last year's model in many aspects such as technological content and handling, it is really good after using it in the end, with sufficient power and space in the car. Spacious, ten-day car rental costs a total of 2525.00, pick up the car at Guiyang Airport, and return the car at Guiyang Airport. Later, we found that it was correct to start early. On July 17, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued a notice. Because the epidemic situation was well controlled, from July 21, the national low-risk areas of the epidemic resumed the team’s cross-provincial travel business. In this way, air tickets, car rentals Prices go up all the way. This saves us a lot...

      Although tickets for scenic spots in Guizhou Province are free, you must make an appointment in advance to enter the scenic spot. However, because of the need to fight the epidemic, and many popular scenic spots, such as Huangguoshu and Fanjing Mountain, have limited traffic and strictly implement reservations by time. After reading the strategy and understanding the relevant policies, I paid attention to the official accounts such as "xxxyou" and "Guiyang xxx". The official account "xxxyou" is the official account of Guizhou tourism. Make an appointment on the WeChat public account, and there are also links on the Libo Xiaoqikong scenic spot and the most popular Fanjingshan scenic spot on this public account. However, according to the actual situation we have personally experienced, it is recommended to directly pay attention to the official account of the self-service ticketing platform of Xiaoqikong Scenic Area, especially the official account of Fanjingshan Eco-tourism Area, because it is too difficult to reserve tickets for Fanjingshan Scenic Area, I will pay attention below The matters focus on the information about the ticket reservation of Fanjingshan Scenic Area. On the xxxyou official account, you can reserve tickets within one month at any time one day in advance, but Fanjingshan tickets can only be reserved one week in advance. Because we started to book tickets after we booked our air tickets and self-driving vehicles in early July. At that time, we hadn’t let go of group travel across provinces, and the reservation date was still early. At that time, it was very convenient to make reservations for various scenic spots, because we knew Huangguoshu Scenic Area It has always been the most popular scenic spot in Guizhou. We took Huangguoshu Scenic Spot as the first stop of our trip. We first reserved tickets for Huangguoshu Scenic Spot on July 25, because the Dragon Palace Scenic Spot and Huangguoshu Scenic Spot are in Anshun, not far apart. I am not very interested in the cave landscape, but since I came to Anshun, I decided to make an appointment for the Dragon Palace Scenic Area ticket on the morning of July 25, and then reserve the ticket for the Huangguoshu Scenic Area in the afternoon. There is Anshun Dragon Palace+ on the "xxx Tour" Huangguoshu Scenic Area pass reservation, and there is no time limit, which is exactly what we want, so we hurriedly made an appointment for the Anshun Scenic Area Pass, and later found that it was correct for us to reserve this pass early. Starting from July 21, the national recovery team in low-risk areas of the epidemic will travel across the country. After the provincial tourism business, tickets for Huangguoshu Scenic Spot were quickly booked for each time period, and it was basically hard to find a ticket! And we rushed to the gate of Huangguoshu Scenic Spot after visiting the Dragon Palace Scenic Spot at noon on July 25th. We saw a long queue at the gate, crowded with people entering the scenic spot. Waiting under the scorching sun, and because we booked a pass, we are not limited by the time period, so we can squeeze out the waiting crowd and enter the park directly, and if we enter the park again the next day, we can enter at any time. In the evening we finished Huangguoshu After the waterfall, I met many tourists who came all the way around the scenic spot but didn't book tickets. They could only look at the door and sigh with regret!

         Therefore, it is recommended that if you can confirm the date of entry to the scenic spot, the sooner you can make an appointment, the better. If you have a Shunyou Dragon Palace scenic spot, you can book a pass for the Dragon Palace + Huangguoshu scenic spot, so that the two scenic spots are not restricted by the admission time period. It is more convenient for friends traveling, especially self-driving travel. After successfully booking the tickets for Dragon Palace and Huangguoshu Scenic Spot, we booked tickets for Xingyi Wanfenglin Scenic Spot, Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot, and Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village Scenic Spot according to our itinerary, because there is still more than half of our travel time In March, it is very convenient to make reservations for these scenic spots. In addition to Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot, you need to make an appointment for a time slot. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village has no time slot requirements for entering the scenic spot, and Xingyi Wanfenglin Scenic Spot says that you need to make an appointment one day in advance. The actual test It is also possible to buy a sightseeing car to enter on the spot, and the Maling River Canyon Scenic Spot, another scenic spot in Xingyi, is the same, and you can also make an appointment to enter on the same day. Because the ancient city of Zhenyuan is free to enter, no reservation is required, and it is not very urgent to make reservations for several small scenic spots in the ancient city, as long as you can make an appointment on Guiyang xxx one day in advance. Now let’s talk about the most difficult ticket reservation for Mount Fanjing scenic spot, because Mount Fanjing was included in the World Natural Heritage List in 2018. In addition to recognition and blessing, the promotion of short videos in the past two years has also made Mount Fanjing famous. In the past two years, aerial images of the new Golden Summit of Mount Fanjing have been widely disseminated on platforms such as xyin. A mountain peak stands out amidst the clouds and mist. , very well restored people's imagination of the "City in the Sky", and thus, Fanjing Mountain became a well-known holy place for Internet celebrities to check in. There is a link to the Fanjingshan Ecotourism Zone on "xxx Tour", so we simply paid attention to the official account of the Fanjingshan Ecotourism Zone, and only the Fanjingshan Scenic Spot in Guizhou can only be reserved one week in advance, and it opens at 8 o'clock in the morning On the second day of our arrival in Guizhou, we opened the reservation at 8 o'clock in the morning on July 25th. As a result, the mobile phone page was stuck first, and finally entered the reservation page after a few minutes, but the morning session was 8:00-9: 00, 9:00-10:00, 10:00-11:00, 11:00-12:00 have all been killed in seconds. After more than ten minutes, all the tickets for the day have been reserved. Fortunately, we managed to grab the admission tickets for 12:00-13:00 on July 31 at noon, but this affected our subsequent itinerary. The original plan was to stay in Zhenyuan Ancient City on the evening of July 29th, and to live at the foot of Fanjing Mountain on the evening of July 30th. Then, I entered the Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area on the morning of July 31st, and returned to Guiyang in the afternoon. The plan was disrupted, so we had to re-plan our itinerary, and decided to add a section of the commercialization of many Raiders, which is relatively less commercial and still retains some original ecology. Liping Zhaoxing Dong Village, directly from Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village to Zhaoxing on the 29th Xingdong Village, on the afternoon of the 30th from Zhaoxing Dongzhai to Zhenyuan Ancient City, on the morning of the 31st to Fanjing Mountain, directly into the scenic area at noon, and then descended from the Fanjing Mountain scenic area in the afternoon, and then choose a place to stay according to the situation. In this way, although the distance has increased a lot, it may be a little bit crowded in Guiyang time, but it is still too late to hurry up. Tickets for Liping Zhaoxing Dong Village are also very easy to reserve. We reserved tickets one day in advance when we checked in at Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. However, although tickets are now free, it does not mean that it is completely free. Some scenic spots must first pay the scenic spot transportation fee when making an appointment, and some scenic spots now require mandatory insurance of 10 yuan. The gates of most scenic spots in Guizhou are far from the actual view. The scenic spots are very far away. Although I know that this is a routine in the current scenic spot, it is recommended to buy a sightseeing ticket, otherwise you will really break your leg, and there are no sidewalks in many places, and the winding mountain roads in the scenic spot are rugged. To save time, be sure to buy sightseeing tickets. Then there is another important thing is to fill in and save the personal information to be reserved on the official account of these ticket reservations, so as to save time when grabbing tickets.

The following is the ticket information for our appointment:

        During the epidemic period, all scenic spots in Guizhou must be reserved more than one day in advance, and many popular scenic spots are divided into time slots to limit the number of people. Xingdong Village was added because we did not book tickets to Fanjing Mountain in the morning of July 31 and temporarily changed it. As for the fact that we did not return to Guiyang directly after visiting Fanjing Mountain, it was because we booked Fanjing Mountain in the noon time period. The entrance ticket for the mountain is already in the evening after visiting Fanjing Mountain, and it takes about four hours to drive to Guiyang. I am too tired, so I temporarily decided to rest and stay in Weng'an County, which is halfway between Fanjing Mountain and Guiyang.

Some feelings about the hotels and scenic spots we stayed in

         On July 24th, our flight arrived in Guiyang at 6:00 pm. Considering that we would leave Guiyang for Anshun early the next morning, we planned to live near the airport for the convenience of travel. After searching, we found that it was not far from Guiyang Longdongbao Airport. There is a colorful Guizhou city in the distance. There are many hotels nearby. We booked the Colorful Rongshan Hotel in Guiyang at random. We took the rented car and drove to the hotel for about five minutes. There are free parking spaces on both sides of the road in front of the hotel. Find a vacancy You can park as you like, or you can park in the colorful Guizhou City underground parking lot next to the hotel. Parking is free during the epidemic. The front desk service is very good when you check in. Guests staying in the hotel need to show the Guizhou Health Green Code and scan it to show the itinerary track. The hotel room is Modern intelligent room type, clean and fresh in terms of hygiene, intelligent electric curtains in the room, hand-controlled touch screen mirror lighting in the bathroom, colorful Guizhou city behind the hotel, colorful Guizhou city is a commercial complex integrating food, accommodation, entertainment, and daily needs It's very convenient. Compared with the room rate of more than 200 in the hotel, the price/performance ratio is quite high.

       On July 25, we visited the Dragon Palace Scenic Spot and Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot in Anshun and stayed near the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot. We know that Huangguoshu Waterfall is the most popular scenic spot in Guizhou. The accommodation around the scenic spot is generally not cheap, because we can’t stay in the hotel After staying for a long time, I found an economical hotel for one night. Although the cultural tourism industry has been sluggish this year due to the epidemic, as the epidemic gradually improved, the cultural tourism industry gradually recovered, especially the resumption of cross-provincial teams from July 21. After the tour, the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot was very popular, and the hotel business was also booming. Fortunately, we booked in advance and the price was reasonable. The Orange Hotel (Huangguoshu Branch) we stayed in was said to be located in Huangguoshu Food and Accommodation Street. It is about a ten-minute drive from the gate entrance of Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot. The map shows that this place is actually Saba New Village, Guanling Buyi and Miao Autonomous County. The Guihuang Highway passes through the village, surrounded by hotels and restaurants. This Orange Hotel chain is home Relatively new private hotel, the hotel has an elevator, the environment is good, the room is quite big, and it has its own independent yard for free parking. It is not easy for a budget hotel to do this. Because the hotel is not adjacent to the Guihuang Highway, but across a street, it is relatively quiet at night, and it is not far to go out to find food.

     On July 26, we stayed in Xingyi at the Jiajia Inn located in Xianahui Village, Wanfenglin Scenic Area. This homestay is the one with the best accommodation experience in our entire trip to Guizhou. When we finished visiting Wanfenglin, we walked through the When I saw the Buyi village like a paradise on the peak forest just now, I fell in love with it at first sight. When I came to the inn surrounded by idyllic scenery, a heavy rain came oncoming. We sat on the upstairs terrace , listening to the sound of the rain, looking at the peak forest, drinking tea and chatting with the owner of the homestay. The owner has worked in sales for a large company for nine years, has seen the world, and now returns to the familiar hometown to start a new business. For those who want to think, there are many homestays around Wanfenglin. Although the inns cannot be compared with the high-end ones and Internet celebrity homestays, the Xianggajia Inn is a remodeled house of its own, and the price is close to the people. The Xianggajia Inn has its own characteristics On the one hand, although the appearance is not stunning, the interior decoration design style is simple, the rooms are unexpectedly good, each room is large, the platform is large, the lighting is good, and it is transparent. Because it is facing the peak of the karst landform, it is located on the third and second floors The platform can be seen very far, and it is very convenient to go to the center of Nahui Village under the big banyan tree to eat, go to the market, and go sightseeing, but it is relatively secluded. The boss is warm and sincere, if not for the itinerary, I really want to stay here for one more day.

     On July 27, we stayed at Xiaoqikong Luanxi Weimei Resort Hotel in Mengliu Buyi Style Town near Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. Xiaoqikong Mengliu Buyi Style Town is a commercial town developed in recent years attached to the tourism industry of Xiaoqikong. It is a small area surrounded by inns that have been rebuilt after renting houses from resettled villagers. Hotels and restaurants, so it is very convenient to eat and shop here. It is also very close to the Tourist Service Center (East Gate) of Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. The service of Xiaoqikong Luanxi·Weimei Resort Hotel is not bad, but the room measures and comfort are relative to the price It is high and not recommended.

     On July 28th, we stayed at Huazhu·Xijiang Miao Village Moshang Blossom Inn. Before going to Xijiang Miao Village, we looked at the strategy. It said that if we booked a good inn, we would come to the right half of Miao Village, because we are looking at Miao Village. The panorama and the lights of thousands of families in Miao Village are an important option when you come to Xijiang Miao Village, and you must choose a high place to see it comprehensively, and the viewing platform is the best place to view the entire Xijiang Miao Village. When staying in Xijiang Miao Village, I was dazzled by the numerous hotels, inns, and homestays in Miao Village, and I couldn’t get started, because I knew that Floral Hotel was strategically invested by Ctrip and had become a leading brand of domestic B&B hotels. The overall inn of Floral Hotel brand is still very good Not bad, although the price is slightly higher, it is definitely much better than some brand-name inns. After confirming our itinerary and reading the travel guide reviews, the first reservation before the trip is Floral Hotel Xijiang Miaozhai Moshang Huakai Inn. Moshang Blossoms is really a lovely place to go. When we took the Ximen Scenic Spot sightseeing car and got off at the intersection of Wangyue Inn according to the innkeeper’s advance notice, we saw the street sign of Moshang Blossoms Inn and called the inn. The innkeeper is a lovely person. The handsome Miao family brother will come down immediately to help carry the large luggage. Although the location of the inn is relatively high, it takes a short hike, but it has an excellent viewing position. You can enjoy the invincible night view in the house, compared to the village The public viewing platform in the hotel is not inferior. The inn is also equipped with a public book bar and viewing platform. It is really a fresh and comfortable experience. Because of the epidemic, when we checked in, there was only one Huakai Inn in Moshang, Xijiang Miao Village. The housekeeper is a little brother, but he is warm, considerate and diligent. When we left the store, he helped us with our luggage and sent us down the mountain. Therefore, Floral Hotel·Xijiang Miaozhai Moshang Huakai Inn was the most expensive accommodation in our entire trip to Guizhou. , but it is also an inn with comfortable room experience and the best view, which is worth the money. So when booking Xijiang Miaozhai Hotel, I would suggest that if you enter from the west gate, you don’t have to hesitate to book a hotel on the mountain. It is best to book a hotel like Moshang Huakai Inn that can directly view the scenery.

       The trip to Zhaoxing Dongzhai on July 29th was a temporary decision to add after we started our trip in Guizhou. The reason for booking the accommodation was also because after experiencing Floral Hotel·Xijiang Miaozhai Moshang Blossom Inn, and after loving the Floral brand, we did not hesitate I booked this Floral Hotel · Zhaoxing Niannian Blossom Boutique Hotel. This Floral brand hotel is located near the parking spot of the Zhaoxing Dongzhai sightseeing car. The location is superior and the transportation is convenient. Open the window and you will see the landscape lake , the boss’ service is also warm, he sent someone to the sightseeing car parking spot to help us with our luggage, and patiently introduced the travel strategy, and finally let us go to Tang’an Dong Village, which was unplanned but brought us unexpected surprises. Although it is different from Xijiang Miao Village Compared with Moshang Blossom Inn, there is a slight difference in landscape, facilities, comfort, etc., but because it is a small scenic spot, there are not many tourists, and the price is relatively cheap. The price of Zhaoxing Huakai Boutique Hotel was better than that of Xijiang Miaozhai Mo. Shanghuakai Inn, this time staying in two inns of the Floral Hotel brand is really good to experience the inn of the Floral Hotel brand.

      On July 30, Zhenyuan Ancient City is a relatively mature tourist attraction in Guizhou, with relatively complete tourist facilities. The inn industry in the entire Zhenyuan Ancient Town is particularly developed. Therefore, we did not book hotels in Zhenyuan prematurely at the beginning, probably because of the resumption of cross-provincial group tours. Afterwards, the prices of several inns with good locations and good views that I had paid attention to had suddenly risen a lot. Now it feels not so good, so I don’t want to book these few inns that start from the ground. Fortunately, it is along the Wuyang River in the ancient city. There are many inns to choose from at the same location. The Zhenyuan Shanshuitan Inn we booked is near the Zhusheng Bridge. We chose a river view room with a balcony. The room is not big, but it faces Qinglong Cave. Sitting on the balcony and enjoying the scenery is very pleasant, because Vehicles are restricted in the ancient city, and there are few parking spaces around, so parking is a bit inconvenient. Before we came to the inn, the boss guided us to park the car in the Forestry Bureau parking lot across the river from the inn, and sent someone to pick us up. The service is still good. It's pretty good. The ancient city of Zhenyuan itself is not big. Zhusheng Bridge, Shiping Mountain and Qinglong are within easy reach. It is also very convenient to eat and visit the ancient town.

       On July 31st, it was around 5:00 pm when we visited Fanjing Mountain, and we drove to Guiyang immediately, because we had prepared the actual road conditions before deciding where to stay, and we didn’t book a hotel for the day. After an hour's drive, I saw that Guiyang was still nearly two hours away, so I decided to eat and stay nearby. I saw that the exit of the expressway ahead was Weng'an County, so I got off the expressway here. Not far from the expressway, at the entrance of the county, I saw There are newly built hotels and restaurants, so I decided to stay here, because Weng'an is not a tourist attraction. The Yongjiang Hotel we stayed in is a newly opened business hotel. The room is large and the price is cheap. There is also a newly opened hotel next to the hotel. The Guizhou-style Qianniushun hot pot restaurant tastes good. It seems that living here is a good choice.

     We returned to Guiyang on August 1. Because it was Saturday and there was no restriction on vehicles with non-local license plates, we chose the Shuiyuntian Hotel near Jiaxiu Building in the center of Guiyang. Although the hotel is a bit old, the location is first-class. It is close to the Nanming River In the nearby Cuiwei Lane, you can see Jiaxiu Building (not directly opposite) from the balcony of your room, and it is only about 200 meters away from Jiaxiu Building. There are many restaurants and supermarkets around, and the famous Qingyun Road Night Market is not far away. Far.

        The Dragon Palace Scenic Area is a typical karst landform landscape, mainly karst cave landscape, but there are also concentrated open rivers, dark rivers, waterfalls and other landscapes, and the karst caves also have water caves (first into the Dragon Palace, second into the Dragon Palace), dry caves, tiger caves, etc. , is quite distinctive. The distance to visit the Dragon Palace Scenic Area is actually quite long, and it will take at least three hours to hurry up. In this case, it is recommended to take the sightseeing elevator in the scenic area, which costs 30 yuan up and down, otherwise it will take time and effort to climb from the bottom to the Tianchi boat. And there is no scenery around.

         The Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Spot is the most famous scenic spot in Guizhou. It is the place where I saw the most crowds this year. It may be because when we went (July 25) it happened to be open for team cross-provincial tourism (July 21). One can imagine how many people there would be in front of the Huangguoshu Scenic Area if it wasn’t for the epidemic. Therefore, free travelers must remember to book tickets in advance as much as possible. The current Huangguoshu Scenic Area includes three scenic spots: Steep Pond, Tianxing Bridge, and Great Waterfall. , I can’t play at all in one day. Fortunately, the tickets for the scenic spot can be entered by swiping your face twice. Of course, the core is the Great Falls scenic spot. There is a large up and down escalator in the Great Falls scenic spot, which costs 30 one way and 50 round trip. It is recommended to walk down from the entrance of the Great Falls Take the elevator on the return trip, so that you can watch the waterfall from top to bottom in all directions, and you can also save your feet climbing from bottom to top when returning, and save time.

         Xingyi has scenic spots such as Wanfeng Forest, Wanfeng Lake, and Maling River Canyon. These are still a small tourist attraction in Guizhou. Wanfeng Forest is definitely worth a visit, and the best time to visit Wanfeng Forest is February every year (rape flower blooming season) ), September (the season when the rice is ripe), the best place to stay is to stay in Nahui Village, Buyi Village under the Wanfeng Forest. There is an idyllic scenery here, like a paradise, and there are many homestays and inns of various grades here. , Xiaer Village, and Shangnahui are closer to the Wanfenglin Scenic Area and have concentrated B&Bs, while Xianahui is quieter and convenient for eating and shopping. Malinghe Canyon is slightly inferior to Wanfenglin, but if you have time, you can visit it. As for Wanhufeng, it is so-so in the eyes of friends in the south. Anyway, we didn’t go.

        Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot is also a very popular scenic spot. Tourists from all over the world flock in early in the morning, and there are crowds of people everywhere. But according to the owner of the inn where we stayed: Tour groups departing from Guiyang enter from the west gate and usually arrive at noon, while Libo County The departure group and tourists living near the scenic spot generally enter from the east gate, and they can reach the scenic spot in half an hour. In other words, there are more people in the east gate in the morning. If you enter the scenic spot in the morning, in order to avoid the peak flow of people, it is recommended to take the scenic spot tour bus directly from the east gate to Wolongtan in the west gate, and the whole scenic spot is high in the west and low in the east. Going east and down will save a lot of effort.

        Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village mainly focuses on Miao Village architecture and Miao customs. Now the Miao Village is very commercialized, and there are many tourists in the Miao Village. If you want to be quiet and want to have a panoramic view of the Miao Village, then choose a place Near the viewing platform, it is very important to have an inn overlooking the whole Miao Village. Generally, self-driving tourists enter from the west gate of Miao Village (the vehicles for self-driving tours are all parked in the parking lot outside the west gate). The inn is also convenient.

       Compared with Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, Zhaoxing Dong Village has much fewer tourists, is quieter, and is not so commercialized. On the top of the mountain a few kilometers away from Zhaoxing Dong Village, there is a more original Tang'an Dong Village. There is a Tang'an Terraced Field Hiking Route, which is "one of the seven most beautiful hiking routes in China". Tang'an Dong Village is surrounded by green hills, towering old trees, and scenic terraced fields everywhere. If the rice is ripe and harvested in autumn, the scenery here will be even more beautiful.

        Zhenyuan ancient town should be said to be an alternative in Guizhou with multi-ethnic customs. Zhenyuan ancient town is an ancient city full of traditional cultural characteristics of the Han nationality in the Central Plains. It looks like a phoenix, but it is quieter than the phoenix. The side is not only as beautiful as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but also has the majesty of the southwest mountains because of the surrounding mountains. Here you can enjoy different beauties at the same time.

        In the past few years, Fanjing Mountain has become the most popular place in Guizhou and one of the most popular places in China after it was rated as a world natural heritage. It is currently the most difficult thing to travel to Guizhou to book tickets to Fanjing Mountain. Seven days, at 8 o'clock in the morning, it was basically a spike. We were lucky enough to grab the tickets, but it depends on your luck when you arrive at Fanjingshan, because no matter the season, no matter whether it is morning or evening, Fanjingshan is always playing the song of the cloud. Rhapsody. In ten days, there is heavy fog for eight days, everything is unintentional, everything is natural, all kinds of strange things, such as "City in the Sky", "New and Old Golden Summit", "Mushroom Stone", everything is unspoken, it is really Close at hand, far away in the world.

        Guiyang, the capital of the province, is known as a small southwestern Hong Kong due to its limited landforms, narrow streets, and uneven terrain. It is really difficult to drive in the old city of Guizhou. In Guiyang's new city, Guanshan Lake District, Financial City, etc., the Guizhou architecture against the sky is unreasonable and amazing. It has created a number of Internet celebrity buildings, such as Guiyang White House, Zhongshu Pavilion, International Conference Center 201 Building, etc. It has become a check-in place for Internet celebrities who come to New Guiyang.

Experience and tips during the itinerary

        The distance from the parking lot of the scenic spot in Guizhou to the gate of the scenic spot, the gate of the scenic spot, and the place where the sightseeing car takes place is surprisingly far. It is also very hard to take care of the snack bars and souvenir shops along the street, so things in the scenic spot If you don’t like it, you don’t have to buy it, but if there are elevators, cable cars, etc., you can save yourself or not, because it can save a lot of energy. Besides, Guizhou is full of free tickets (July 31, 2020) or half free ( From August 1st to December 31st, 2020), everyone is sincerely welcome to come and play. Everyone has saved a lot of money on tickets, and spending such money is also right to support the recovery and development of Guizhou's tourism industry Bar.

      People say that Guizhou "the land is not three feet flat, and the sky is not sunny for three days", but it was a rare and continuous sunny day during our trip. The sun was exposed to the heat. The weather this year is abnormal. Except for Fanjing Mountain, the rest of Guizhou we went to The place is extremely hot and we wanted to avoid the heat. We were very surprised by this, so we must bring sunscreen and sunglasses. Under normal circumstances, the weather in Guizhou is rainy and humid, and we need to change hotels frequently, so we need to bring more clothes for personal changes. Generally, it is not easy to dry overnight. The weather in Guizhou is changeable within a day. It may be sunny and rainy for a while, so you need to keep an umbrella when you go out. In addition, summer is hot and humid, and there are many mosquito bites. It is best to keep anti-mosquito and anti-itch medicines.

       The taste of food in Guizhou is mainly hot and sour. The spiciness in Guizhou is not as spicy as that in Sichuan and Hunan, and most people can accept it. The Laoganma spicy sauce in Guizhou is known all over the country. People who are used to eating it will find it delicious, but those who are not used to it will feel a bad smell when they smell it. Anyway, the wise see the wisdom and the benevolent see benevolence. The local beef in Guizhou is good. Whether it is used for hot pot or stir-fried, it is very delicious. Guizhou is a place where people eat noodles from morning to night. The degree of persistence in eating noodles is surprising. This is for us Jiangnan people. To be honest, I'm not used to it.

       In terms of photography: Guizhou is a good place to take pictures of flowing water, waterfalls, starry sky, and night scenes. Friends who like photography must bring a tripod, filter, and light reduction lens. In addition, due to the heavy rain in Guizhou, the rainproof work of the camera must be done well.

       Self-driving friends must pay attention: Although the highways in Guizhou are very well built, due to the unique landform characteristics, the highway basically runs through tunnels and bridges all the time. Be sure to pay attention to the speed of the vehicle. Most roads have a speed limit of 80 yards. When you finally see a speed limit of more than 100 yards, you can push down on the accelerator. After a few kilometers, you will return to the speed limit of 80 yards.

2020-07-24. Shanghai to Guiyang

        On the afternoon of July 24th, we met again at Pudong Airport after nearly half a year. Although social life is gradually returning to normal, compared with previous years, the density of people at Pudong Airport has dropped significantly. After quickly going through the check-in and security procedures, our boarding gate is at Terminal 3 this time, and we need to take the airport connection subway from Terminal 2, which is similar to Hong Kong Airport. This is also the first time I have come to Terminal 3. Terminal No. 3, this newly-operated Terminal No. 3, there are not many airlines and flights at present. The terminal that should be extremely busy is more like a tourist attraction. From Terminal No. 2 to No. 3 The boarding gate at the top of the station will take about 20 minutes longer. It seems that in the future, we must pay attention to whether the boarding gate is in Terminal 3, and we must reserve a little more time.

        The plane landed at Guiyang Longdongbao Airport on time. After we packed our luggage, we went to the xx car rental point in the underground parking lot of the airport to pick up the car. Because the Hyundai IX35SUV rented from xx when Ning Ganqing was driving himself last year felt good, and this time we rented the same model This time, this car is the latest model of 2020, with a mileage of only more than 20,000 kilometers, and the equipment is better than the one I rented last year.

         After driving for more than ten minutes, we came to Colorful Guizhou City, which is not far from Longdongbao Airport. We stayed at Colorful Rongshan Hotel. We chose this hotel because we will go to Anshun early in the morning. Living here saves time and is convenient for travel. I did not expect this colorful Guizhou We really chose the right place in the city. It is about seven or eight kilometers away from Longdongbao Airport, and not far from the Guiyang Ring Expressway. The key is that the hotel we stayed in is very new, and it is a hotel with a high degree of intelligence. The restaurants around , many shopping stores.

       Colorful Guizhou City is a complex integrating food, housing, entertainment and entertainment. There are large-scale ethnic-style architectural complexes unique to Guizhou. The buildings are mainly Dong village-style drum towers, supplemented by Miao village buildings. They are very spectacular and majestic. Here There are a large number of shops with ethnic characteristics, showing a diverse culture.

     After checking in and putting away our luggage, we hurried to the colorful city outside the hotel. The spacious square of the colorful Guizhou City is suitable for the popular street stall economy. As night falls, stalls are rolled out one after another, and there are everything you can eat and use. The smell of fish in sour soup at the long table banquet was tangy, and the characteristic folk song and dance performance was performed enthusiastically. Chain restaurants are basically available here. We went to the famous chain restaurant Laokaili Sour Soup Fish in Guizhou.

       Guizhou likes hot and sour food. Guizhou people laugh at themselves, "I don't eat sour for three days, and I walk up and down." There are thousands of sour foods in Guizhou, and fish in sour soup is a signature. The soup, neither vinegar nor sauerkraut, relies on all-natural fermentation.

       The epidemic still has an impact on tourism and catering. When I walked into the old Kaili store, there were not many tables in the large store. I ordered the sour soup base first. We couldn’t eat too spicy, so we asked for light spicy, but later found that Guizhou is more spicy than Sichuan. The spicy level of Hunan is much lower. The man asked me what fish I wanted, and I asked him what fish he recommended for me. The answer was of course the sharp-billed fish. It’s really wise to see the benevolent. The benevolent sees the benevolent. We smelled a bad smell when the soup was served. It’s a bit unaccustomed, so we can only do as the Romans do. In fact, the sour fish soup is similar to the pickled fish in the Bashu area. In addition to having our own recipes for making soup, as long as the fish, soup, and ingredients are good, the taste will be good. Kweichow Moutai is very popular now. Of course I want to drink it when I come to Moutai’s hometown, but ordinary people can’t afford it now. We bought a sauce-flavored liquor that is said to be produced in the same place where Moutai is produced. This wine has a taste of Moutai, so we can only entertain ourselves in this way, but what we did not expect is the original flavor of bayberry juice produced in Guizhou , very delicious, the first meal in Guizhou, not bad!

2020-07-25. Guiyang-Anshun Dragon Palace, Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area

      In the morning, while eating breakfast, I waited for eight o'clock to grab the ticket reservation number of Fanjing Mountain seven days later on my mobile phone. This Fanjing Mountain ticket seems to be the most difficult thing to come to Guizhou at present. When it arrives at 8:00, the reservation page is first It was stuck, and after a few minutes, the page was able to enter, but all the admission places for the four time slots in the morning have been reserved. Fortunately, we made an appointment for seven days later, that is, 12:00-13:00 noon on July 31. Although this time period is very troublesome, it is not bad to be able to grab it. Grab the ticket, check out quickly and set off to Anshun Dragon Palace Scenic Spot, the first stop of our Guizhou tour.

       It takes about two hours from the Colorful Guizhou Chengrongshan Hotel where we stayed to Anshun Dragon Palace Scenic Area, most of which are expressways, and the last ten kilometers are mountain roads. The car from Guiyang stops at the "North Gate" Visitor Center of Dragon Palace Scenic Area, and then Take the sightseeing bus to the vicinity of the "East Gate", and after getting off the bus, you still need to walk about one kilometer before officially starting to visit the "Dragon Palace Scenic Area". Longgong Scenic Area integrates karst caves, canyons, waterfalls, peak forests, cliffs, streams, stone forests, funnels, underground rivers and other karst geological and landform landscapes. It is the most concentrated and comprehensive display of karst landforms. , all in the Dragon Palace." The first scenic spot we entered the scenic spot was Wolong Bridge. Wolong Bridge is a girder bridge spanning Minghu Lake. The small bridge lies on the waves, the potential dragon winds, and the white waves roll, which is wonderful and spectacular. The Minghu Lake under the Wolong Bridge is the end of the Longgong Dark River system, and it is named for its clear and flawless water like a mirror. It is a typical karst lake. There are many strange rocks in the lake, like the sons and grandsons of dragons, shrimp soldiers and crab generals playing and playing. Going forward, the cave at the end of the lake is the "Longmen Waterfall". The Longmen Waterfall is formed by the pouring of Tianchi water. It is a typical karst dark waterfall. The cave is 50 meters high, the waterfall is 38 meters high and 25 meters wide. It is the largest in China Karst cave waterfall. The dragon gate hangs high in the shape of a skylight, and flowing water splits rocks and drills down, smashing beads and spraying jade. It is magnificent and magnificent. It is one of the famous landscapes of the Dragon Palace. Although the drop of Longmen Waterfall is not big, the water flow is very fast. The sound of rumbling water and the diffuse water vapor make people dare not stay longer. After reading this "Longmen Waterfall", look at the tourist signs, and then visit the Dragon Palace Scenic Area The essence of "Entering the Dragon Palace", once entering the Dragon Palace, you need to go to the Tianchi above the skylight above the Longmen Waterfall and take a boat to go there. There are two ways to go to Tianchi, climbing the mountain and taking the elevator. To save time and effort, of course we choose to take a boat. Elevator, buy a 30 yuan round-trip elevator ticket and go directly to Tianchi Wharf to take a boat to enter the Dragon Palace. The core of the Dragon Palace scenic spot is actually the first entry, the second entry to the Dragon Palace, and the first and second entry to the Dragon Palace. It is known as the longest and most beautiful water in the country. The cave, one of which enters the Dragon Palace, is 840 meters long. It is composed of five parts: the Dragon Welcome Hall, the Embossed Mural Hall, the Five Dragons Protecting the Treasure Hall, the Crystal Palace, and the Gaoxia Valley Palace. The wonders in the cave are like the gorgeous night sky, reflecting each other with the reflection of the calm water. The small boat we took traveled through the dark river in the cave. The large open space in the cave was bigger than a movie theater, and people had to lower their heads and turn sideways to avoid passing through the narrow space. , The pool is deep and the water is secluded, the twists and turns are mysterious, the water curtain movie is grotesque, and the boat travels in it like a "time tunnel", full of wit and wit. Come to the end of the Dragon Palace, abandon the boat and land on the shore, along the long pontoon bridge, surrounded by the sound of gurgling water, swaying to the front and hear the sound of rumbling water, there is another anxious waterfall, and then go forward Walking is the second entrance to the Dragon Palace, the gate of the Second Entry Dragon Palace is closed, and a notice board next to it says that due to the high water level in recent days, the Second Entry Dragon Palace is closed. We had to climb up the stairs next to the entrance of the Dragon Palace at the second entrance, and walked through an outdoor corridor. The temperature outside the cave was quite different from that inside the cave. We wanted to take a rest here, but it felt really uncomfortable, so we decided to go not far away with all our strength. The Huxue Cave is a dry karst cave with a length of 400 meters. It is named for the stone like a tiger in the cave. The magnificent stalactites in various poses and with different forms, the beautiful love story of Princess Bailong and Buyi boy form a big knife. The Broken Waterfall, Mandarin Duck Column and other landscapes that blend humanities and nature are radiant against the backdrop of various lights, which makes us have to admire the magic of nature. There is actually quite a big difference in height from the entrance to the exit of Tiger's Cave. Because you are moving in a dark and closed cave, you can't see reference objects around you. You only feel out of breath when you climb, and the cave is not as cool and comfortable as the one you entered the Dragon Palace Cave just now. , Climb out of the Tiger Cave, the sign says Qianqian Longteng Fort, Guanyin Cave, Xuantang and other scenic spots, but the heat is unbearable, and you have to climb the mountain, and it seems that it is not close. It has been nearly two hours since entering the scenic spot. Hours, because we are going to visit the Huangguoshu Waterfall this afternoon, we decided to stop here and choose to return by boat from the entrance to the Dragon Palace and return to the Tianchi Wharf. From here, we can see a big gap. The water in Tianchi flows from here. Next, it turns out that this is the source of the Longmen Waterfall, and this big gap is the skylight seen from below. It took us more than three hours to visit a part of the Dragon Palace Scenic Area. It is impossible to visit the Dragon Palace Scenic Area in two hours as written in the guide. If we completely visit the entire scenic area, it will take at least a whole day.

       We are amazed by the colorful natural karst cave wonders in Longgong Scenic Area. In the cave, there are many stalactites in various poses, and all kinds of stone flowers, stone birds, and stone animals are lifelike. People have to admire the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. And the entire Dragon Palace Scenic Area, from caves to waterfalls, from canyons to Bitan, has both the tranquility of clear springs and rocks, and the movement of high mountains and waterfalls. Being in the middle of it, it seems to be isolated from the world. Therefore, if you come to Anshun to visit Huangguoshu Waterfall, take a swim Dragon Palace is still worth it.

      After we came out of the Dragon Palace, we went to the "Huangguoshu Waterfall". We drove for less than an hour. When we parked the car in the parking lot of Beer City, the gate of Huangguoshu Scenic Area, we were shocked by the scene in front of us. There were huge crowds of people in front of the gate of the scenic spot. It's a pot of porridge. I didn't expect that the inter-provincial group tour will be resumed on July 21. How powerful the volcano that has been accumulated for half a year will erupt. However, it is understandable that the Huangguoshu Waterfall has always been the number one tourist attraction in Guizhou. Many people Knowing Guizhou starts with knowing Huangguoshu Waterfall. Because we booked the Dragon Palace + Huangguoshu Tourist Pass, it is not restricted by the time period for entering the park. It is difficult to squeeze through the gate of the scenic spot that is blocked by a large number of tourists waiting to enter the park. It is quite simple to enter the gate, because it has been entered when booking tickets. For the ID card information, you only need to scan your face, but the health code check, itinerary track, etc. are basically useless, because the staff can’t stand the crowd.

       There is a long queue in front of the sightseeing bus stop inside the gate of the scenic spot. The sightseeing bus has two directions, namely the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area and the Great Waterfall Scenic Area. According to the tips in the guides we have seen, we first took the bus to the direction of Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. Although there are many tourists queuing up for the bus, there are also many sightseeing buses. Get off at Doupotang Scenic Area at one stop, and it is already three o'clock in the afternoon. The current Huangguoshu Scenic Area includes several major parts, namely the "core Great Waterfall Scenic Area", the "Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area" and the "Dupo Pond Scenic Area" where "Journey to the West was filmed in 1986".

       Doupotang Waterfall is located 1 km upstream of Huangguoshu Waterfall (near the entrance of the North Gate). We walked all the way along the sightseeing plank road. There are many large and small pools on the wide and flat stream beach, with a depth ranging from tens of centimeters to several meters. Each is different. In front of us, we can already see the Doupotang Waterfall cascading down the cliff and gushing snow from a distance. The Doupotang Waterfall is the widest waterfall among the Huangguoshu Waterfalls. The top of the waterfall is 105 meters wide and 21 meters high. On the top of the waterfall is a huge melting pool with an area of ​​15,000 square meters, and the waterfall is formed on a calcified beach dam that is more than 100 meters long. When we approached the Doupotang Waterfall, we could already hear the roar of the water. Although it was wide and not high, it was surging and mighty like a rainbow. The location for crossing the river, but the Doupotang Waterfall can only be regarded as an appetizer in the entire Huangguoshu Waterfall Group. The current Huangguoshu Scenic Area is composed of more than 20 waterfalls with different charms. The largest group of waterfalls in the world is included in the Guinness Book of World Records, but everyone is actually coming for the "big waterfall" at the core of Huangguoshu.

       The Doupotang Waterfall Scenic Area is not big. It takes about an hour to take a look around. It’s almost four o’clock in the afternoon. Before you come, read the Raiders’ introduction to the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. It takes four to five hours to visit. It’s too late, and about one to two hours is enough to visit the Great Falls in the core scenic spot, and the afternoon is sunny, so the afternoon is the best time to take pictures of the Great Falls. We decided to go to the Great Falls scenic spot next, and someone introduced it in the guide. There is a road from the Doupotang Waterfall Scenic Area to the Great Waterfall Scenic Area by ourselves. We decided to try it out and walked out of the Doupotang Scenic Area along the stream beach. Slowly, the stream beach merged into a river. There are few tourists on the river bank, and the scenery along the way is pleasant. Although the weather is hot, the air in the forest is fresh. There is a saying: the torrential river flows, rushing through layers of dams; the lush trees are lush, and the green mountains and mountains are everywhere. Walk to the Xiake Pavilion introduced in the guide for a short break, and when I saw a staff member in a scenic spot, I asked him how long it would take us to walk from here to the Great Falls scenic spot. The staff member said that it would take at least 40 minutes, so we suggest that we go We went there by sightseeing bus. He said so, and seeing that it was getting late, we still went to take the sightseeing bus. From the entrance of Doupotang Scenic Area, we should take the car back to the north gate of the scenic spot, and then change to the car that lived in the Great Waterfall. Because there are many tourists today, we happened to take the temporary direct bus from Doupotang Scenic Area to the Great Waterfall Scenic Area, but still We have to go to the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area first and then go to the Great Waterfall Scenic Area, but this is still good, at least we don’t have to get off and change cars.

         Twenty minutes later, we took a sightseeing bus to the core scenic area of ​​the Great Falls, and saw that there were crowds of tourists everywhere. This is the place where I saw the most tourists in tourist attractions after the outbreak. It is conceivable that during normal times, Golden Week, The scale of the tourist flow in Huangguoshu on legal holidays is terrifying. After arriving at the Great Waterfall Scenic Area, you can choose to take the elevator to the "Huangguoshu Great Waterfall". It costs 30 yuan for a one-way trip and 50 yuan for a round trip. You can also go there on foot, because Huangguoshu Waterfall is a rare waterfall that can be seen from six directions, up, down, left, right, front, back, and up, and taking a panoramic view of the waterfall from above is undoubtedly one of the best angles, so we chose to walk down the mountain. You can see the big waterfall from the side on the road. Every year from June to August is the concentrated flood season of Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area. During the flood season, the water flow of Huangguoshu surges and the water potential of the waterfall is even bigger. This is the most magnificent period of Huangguoshu Waterfall. It seems that we came at the right time. We walked along the trail along the Baishui River towards the Great Falls. Although there were many tourists, we were full of expectations. Because there were trees covering the waterfall, the sound came first, and the sound of the waterfall came from afar. It came from everywhere, through the bushes, on the high mountainside in front, a Baichuan poured out, a Bailian more than 30 meters wide hung in front of the mountain like a giant white wall, the waterfall flew down, and the sound of the water was deafening. The splashed water forms a mist, covering the waterfall with a veil. This Bailian, 77.8 meters high and 101.0 meters wide, is the largest waterfall in China and even in Asia. Various forms of Baishui River are sandwiched between green mountains and green waters. In between, the water mist filled the plank road on the top, and the waterfall sounded thunderously. You can feel the power of nature from all aspects of vision, touch and hearing. Of course, the most classic waterfall viewing platform is still the waterfall viewing platform at the rhinoceros pond below. This is the closest place to the Great Falls, but it is crowded with tourists. If you want to take a photo, others will enter the mirror with you. You can only squeeze into the crowd and find a gap to take a quick photo of the waterfall. The platform at the northernmost part of the plank road is the best angle to take a photo of the waterfall. The cliffs of Aomori ancient trees flow into the box-shaped karst canyon in front, slapping on the travertine riverbed on the right. The droplets surge back, like smoke flying into the air", the powerful water flow splashes thick water droplets and water vapor, and I only stand here for a few seconds, the water vapor is like moderate rain, and it hurts the camera too much, quickly get out of the way When I came to a place that was less affected by the splash of water and the diffuse water vapor, a small curved rainbow suddenly appeared at the corner of the steam-filled waterfall. I took the most beautiful scene of the Great Falls. Although the Huangguoshu Waterfall in front of me cannot be compared with the Niagara and Iguazu Falls that I have been to, the Huangguoshu Waterfall is still majestic and majestic. It is worthy of being the first waterfall in China, with blue sky and white clouds The Baishui River, where the waterfall is as white as white jade and the pool as green as emerald, is a magnificent and wonderful picture that makes us feel relaxed and happy here, and it is hard to win.

      We took the upward elevator to leave the Great Waterfall Scenic Area. From 2:00 noon to 6:00 pm, we spent more than four hours visiting the two scenic spots of Huangguoshu Scenic Spot, Doupotang and Great Waterfall. Because of the hot weather, the intensity is still high. It's quite big. What I want to complain about is that in order to take care of the business, the local area needs to walk through a shopping street full of souvenirs and snack bars about one kilometer long from the Great Falls scenic spot to the bus stop, but most tourists at this time They are all exhausted, eager to return home, and have no intention of going shopping at all. It can be said that they are well-intentioned and the effect is not good.

      We stayed at the food and accommodation street in Huangguoshu Scenic Area. Huangguoshu Scenic Area is located between Zhenning and Guanling counties in Anshun. The hotel we stayed in is located in Guanling Buyi and Miao Autonomous County. For food, not far from the hotel is a food street. This street is actually the Guihuang Highway. There are many vehicles and restaurants. I saw a firewood chicken restaurant with many customers. We also wanted to try new flavors, so we chose it. Here, live chickens are selected on the spot, killed on the spot, and then a fire is lit in the stove, and they are first fried in the pot and then boiled in soup, because they are all free-range chickens, the meat is super delicious, and there are many fresh side dishes. The dishes are free, you can choose at will, a bit like hot pot, super delicious.

2020-07-26. Huangguoshu-Xingyi Wanfeng Forest Scenic Area

        Because the tickets for Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area are valid for 2 days, we can continue to visit Huangguoshu Scenic Area today. However, we discussed it in the morning. Yesterday we visited Doupotang Waterfall and Huangguoshu Waterfall. The essence of Huangguoshu Scenic Area should be said to have been After the tour, although the remaining Tianxing Bridge scenic spot is large in size, it is not mainly known for its waterfalls, its characteristics are not clear, and the weather is hot. Yesterday, we saw the scene of many tourists in the scenic spot. We decided to give up today. Go to the scenic spot to visit the Tianxing Bridge, but set off for Xingyi in the southwestern part of Guizhou in the morning, and leave a little more time for the Xingyi Wanfenglin Scenic Spot where there are not many tourists.

       After breakfast, we drove to Xingyi Wanfenglin Scenic Area, which is more than 200 kilometers away. There are two roads to Xingyi. One is the famous Guanxing Highway. This road is currently a very popular Internet celebrity road. Known as the "Road of Death" in Guizhou, China, from Guanling in Anshun City to Xingyi in Southwest Guizhou, although the total length is only 160 kilometers, it passes through 88 bridges and 13 tunnels, including one of the highest bridges in the world, North The Panjiang Bridge is full of scenery along the way, with mountains, tunnels, bridges, canyons, and rivers, but it takes six hours. At present, there is an expressway from Huangguoshu to Xingyi, and the drive only takes three hours. Although it is not like taking the Guanxing Highway You can get close to the Chongshan Canyon, but you can also see the magnificent scene of building bridges when encountering ditches and opening mountains when encountering mountains on the expressway. To save time, we chose to take the expressway.

       We drove on the expressway to Xingyi by ourselves, shuttling between the mountains and canyons all the way, galloping on the world-class bridges all the way, all the way is full of undulating mountains, countless streams, and galloping freely with the wind. shock! There are bridges and highways over mountains and ridges here, natural moats become open roads, and all avenues lead to poetic homes. Now there is a saying that the world's bridges look at China, and Chinese bridges look at Guizhou. Among the world's 100 bridges, Guizhou accounts for half, 2 More than 10,000 bridges have created dozens of "world firsts", known as the world's "Canyon Bridge Museum". We have encountered many famous bridges on the highway less than 200 kilometers from Huangguoshu to Xingyi. Guizhou has There are many Beipanjiang bridges, all of which are extraordinary. Although the Beipanjiang bridge we passed was not the one with the highest vertical drop of more than 400 meters, it was also very spectacular. The horizontal bridge we passed today The Baling River Bridge spanning the Baling River is equally spectacular as the Maling River Bridge when it is about to reach Xingyi.

        Three hours later, we drove into Xingyi, a small town in the southwestern part of Guizhou Province. After a quick meal, we drove straight to the Wanfenglin Scenic Spot in the south of Xingyi City. Because the current Wanfenglin Scenic Spot is still a niche scenic spot, coupled with the impact of the epidemic, there are not many tourists, and the scene seen at the gate of Huangguoshu Scenic Spot yesterday is really different. After scanning the health code and showing the reserved ticket information, change it in advance After buying a sightseeing bus ticket, you can quickly get on the bus and start touring. Of course, you can also choose to walk seven kilometers without taking a tour bus.

      Because five years ago, I went to Luoping, a neighbor of Xingyi, which belongs to Yunnan, to watch the sea of ​​rapeseed flowers. Xingyi Wanfeng Forest is composed of tens of millions of strange peaks in the southeast of Xingyi City, with a total area of ​​2,000 square kilometers. The mountains are majestic for hundreds of miles. "There are so many mountains in the world, but only here are the peaks forming forests."

      At present, only Xifenglin is open in Wanfenglin Scenic Area. The sightseeing car takes us slowly along the sightseeing road halfway up the mountain of Xifenglin. It is 7.5 kilometers away and will stop at 8 viewing platforms: General Peak, Zhongxing Pengyue, Splendid Fields, Bagua Fields, Pastoral Brocade, Dashun Peak, Earth Eye, and Peak Viewing Terrace. Let's get out of the car to watch and take pictures. Standing on the observation deck, we can see the towering peaks of Wanfenglin, all of which are columnar, like stalagmites emerging from the ground in the field. The rugged karst rocks are interspersed with vegetation and stars; the mountain is not high, but there are many peaks and bamboo shoots, shoulder to shoulder, which is magnificent. At the foot, tens of thousands of mu of fertile land stretches like a green carpet among the peaks and forests. Houses with white tiles and white walls are scattered in the fields. Rivers, houses, fields, mountains, ancient trees... constitute a rich and colorful pastoral landscape painting.

       The best time to visit the picturesque Wanfenglin with beautiful mountains, beautiful houses, verdant rice paddies and picturesque pastoral scenery should be in February and March or September and October every year (at that time, rape blossoms in the whole scenic area are in full bloom or rice is ripe and harvesting season, Wanfeng Forest is immersed in a piece of golden color), although we did not come to Wanfeng Forest at the best time, we still admire the creative ability of nature. The unique beauty of this perfect combination of farmland and peak forest has a kind of "car swimming in the painting , the feeling of people walking in the painting".

       The sightseeing car took us on the mountainside for more than an hour and then went down the mountain to the Buyi village at the foot of the mountain that we saw just now. The village at the foot of the mountain is called Nahui Village. The sightseeing car walks through it, full of content Nahui Village is divided into three small villages, which are scattered in the fields one by one. Each small village is about one or two kilometers apart. They are called Upper, Middle, and Lower Nahui Villages. Nahui means "beautiful" in Buyi language. The meaning of "the pastoral" is that the tour bus tour seems to have negative scenery, and it doesn't stop in such a beautiful place, but we will live here tonight, think it over, and we will go out for a stroll later.

       The sightseeing bus took us back to the entrance of the scenic spot, and we drove to the homestay we booked by ourselves. The road to Nahui Village is very narrow, and there are one-way streets in many places. You must follow the guide signs, otherwise it will be very difficult to drive. The inn we stayed in today is called Xiangjiao, which is very interesting. When we came to the inn according to the navigation, there was a pouring rain, so we rushed into the inn and sat in the lobby of the inn, blowing the cool breeze , Drinking tea, chatting, comfortable and leisurely. The Wanfenglin Township Gagar Inn we stayed in is located in the Xiaowan Group of Nahui Village under the Wanfeng Forest. The inn is warm, comfortable, simple, elegant, clean and refreshing. It not only has beautiful and quiet rural scenery like a paradise, but also can fully enjoy the accommodation and living conditions of modern material civilization. The owner of the inn is straightforward and generous, and he manages the inn with great care. Although the appearance of the inn is not stunning, the interior decoration design style is simple. Each room is large, the platform is large, the lighting is good, and it is transparent. The room is clean and has a balcony with a view. The platforms on the third and second floors can be seen far away.

        After the rain stopped, the air was fresh and the rice blossoms were fragrant. The mountains and forests in the distance were surrounded by clouds and mist, which looked like an ink painting. Here, the peaks are like forests, fields and dams are like brocades, and villages are like pearls. A heavy rain disrupted our plan to go shopping, so we could only walk freely in the countryside around the village. The villages here are more rustic than some over-developed ancient towns and villages. Of course, tourism has also driven the development here. There are also many petty bourgeois homestays, the buildings are seamlessly connected with the natural landscape, and we shuttled between the fields, smelling the fragrance of flowers, listening to the sound of chickens and dogs barking in the villages, what brings us here is the outside world Rare simplicity and tranquility.

       The Xiangjiajia Inn does not serve food and beverages, but they can order takeaway. The boss recommended us to eat at the restaurant in Xianahui Village under a big banyan tree not far away. The restaurant business here is very good at night, and there are quite a few guests waiting for a seat. After seeing this scene, we decided to pack something and take it back to the inn to eat, sitting on the terrace, enjoying the cool breeze, drinking a small wine, looking at the peak forest in front of us, feeling the sunset glow and the sound of frogs in the field, waiting for the night to fall. This is the leisure and vacation life we ​​want.

2020-07-27. Xingyi Maling River Scenic Spot-Libo Mengliu Buyi Style Town

       In the early morning, we came to Xianahui Village to have breakfast. There are many hundred-year-old trees in the village, with lush branches and luxuriant branches. They are close to the stone bridge and the gurgling water. It is picturesque and poetic, as if telling the simplicity of the Buyi village and pleasant scenery. The vegetable market at the bridgehead of the village entrance is very small, and it is open every day. The products sold are all fruits and vegetables grown by the villagers themselves. The simple people are very enthusiastic. There are four thousand-year-old banyan trees around the stone bridge, and one thousand-year-old banyan tree is said to be less than a thousand years old, but also more than 900 years old. Under the root of the tree grows another Tangli plant, the two become one, the roots are connected with each other, and the branches embrace each other. Everyone in the village says that this is a husband and wife tree, and it is the gods who warn the villagers to have a harmonious family and love each other as husband and wife. Buyi people love water, and the Nahui River meanders out from the northwest end of the peak forest, passes through several stone bridges, and strung up several villages. From early morning, villagers start washing and washing vegetables by the river, becoming a descendant A landscape of Nahui Village, rivers, houses, countryside, mountains, ancient trees... constitutes a rich and colorful pastoral landscape painting. Nahui Village's soothing rhythm of life, elegant and clean, undisputed peace... makes us nostalgic the most.

       After breakfast, we returned to the inn. The owner of the inn suggested that we could go to Malinghe Canyon for a while, so that we reluctantly bid farewell to Wanfenglin and Nahui Village.

        It takes about 20 minutes to drive from Nahui Village under Wanfeng Forest to Malinghe Canyon. There are not many tourists at the entrance of the scenic spot, and there is still a long way to go from the entrance of the scenic spot to the real scenic spot. Located in Xingyi City, the Malinghe Grand Canyon is majestic, strange, dangerous, and beautiful. It is known as "a beautiful scar on the earth". In fact, this kind of landform is a similar tiankeng in the karst area of ​​southwest China. Because of the large scale and majestic waterfalls pouring down on both sides of the canyon, the ground fissure is said to be no less than Huangguoshu Waterfall. We came to the entrance and saw that there was an elevator. It costs 40 yuan to go up and down. The ticket is free. This elevator ticket is not saved. It saves effort and contributes to the scenic spot. It will benefit the country and the people. Let's take the sightseeing elevator soon. Going down to the bottom of the valley, the Grand Canyon is about 15 kilometers long, but currently only a short section of the Malinghe Canyon scenic spot is open. Once you reach the bottom of the canyon, you can fully feel the air humidity in the canyon. What I hear is almost the sound of water, the water flowing in the canyon, the splashing waterfall and water droplets, and I can obviously feel the slightest coolness when it drips on my body in summer. Now it should be regarded as the news period, but for some reason, the waterfall in the canyon is not active , and there are even cut-off waterfalls. I only saw a trickle of waterfalls, which looked very delicate. Due to some natural reason of calcification, the rock walls on both sides of the canyon are like fish scales. This kind of very peculiar geological landform is rare. See, after walking through a scenic spot called Broken Bridge, I finally heard the roar of the waterfall pouring down. The huge water vapor formed by the impact of the rapid water flow of the waterfall is also visible to the naked eye. This is the most unique scenery of the Maling River Canyon. There are many waterfalls coming down from different paths, and the huge sound of water also makes people marvel at the energy of nature's creations, but it is not the same thing to compare it with Huangguoshu Waterfall. Generally speaking, the Maling River Canyon is deep and deep, with many waterfalls, and the mountains are jagged and jagged with jagged teeth, and the river roars all the way down. It is mighty and mighty. It has its own characteristics. Leave time for Wanfenglin and Nahui Village.

       Because we planned to go to Libo Xiaoqikong, which is more than 400 kilometers away today, we hurried to Qiannan Libo after visiting the Maling River for nearly three hours according to the normal tour time.

        Thanks to the construction and development of highways and bridges in Guizhou in the past few years, Tianzhu has become a thoroughfare. After more than five hours, we drove through more than 400 kilometers of highways among rolling mountains and came to Guizhou Libo Mengliu Buyi Style Town near the Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area at the junction of the south and Guangxi. The town is located in Yaoshan Yaozu Township, Libo County, close to the east gate of the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. It was created by combining immigration and tourism. Relying on the high-quality tourism resources of Libo and Qikong, it is a newly built town with national cultural characteristics in accordance with the planning and layout of AAA-level scenic spots. We are staying here this evening. The town has begun to take shape. As soon as we step into the town, we are greeted with strong ethnic customs. The thick and huge bronze drum in the center of the square gives people a strong visual impact. Gathered on the bronze drum square Tourists from all over the world enjoy the cool, drink tea and chat, watch the singing and dancing on the screen, and some people sing in front of the microphone. The town at this moment is joyful and peaceful.

        At this moment, hungry and hungry, we hurriedly looked for food after checking in. There were many restaurants and inns in the town, with bright lights and neon lights. Various ethnic specialties and various barbecue snacks were displayed on the light box. I randomly found a shop that looked very popular, and I deliberately found a table outside the street. I ordered a few local specialties. Deliver cool, beautiful food and delicious food, and the fatigue will be wiped away.

2020-07-28. Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area - Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village

        In the early morning, when you open the wooden window of the inn, the distant mountains are misty and rainy, just like the south of the Yangtze River. After a hasty breakfast, quickly enter the entrance of the east gate of the Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot, and change the reserved sightseeing ticket. The entrance of the scenic spot is already full of noisy people, and the crowd has gathered. They line up and take the bus directly to the direction of Wolongtan, which is located at the west gate of the scenic spot.

        Xiaoqikong, known as the emerald on the Tropic of Cancer, Jiuzhaigou in Guizhou, is the most famous scenic spot in Libo. It integrates mountains, water, caves, forests, waterfalls, lakes and stones. Beautiful and beautiful, exquisite and beautiful, it has been listed in "China National Geographic" and selected as a world natural heritage, and has won numerous praises.

       Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot is located in the mountains in the southwest of Libo County. It is a long and narrow valley with a width of only 1 kilometer but a length of 12 kilometers. It took nearly half an hour to get off at Wolongtan. From here, we started today’s tour of Xiaoqikong. Along the wooden plank road, we can walk all the way to Wolongtan. Wolongtan is a karst underground river and another main river in Xiaoqikong scenic spot. at the exit of the Wolong River. The water in the pool presents a piece of emerald green, similar to the blue color of the Wucai Pool in Jiuzhaigou. There are many strange stones and ancient trees beside the pool, and the water mist on the surface of the pool is misty, just like a fairyland. The water flow from the underground river pours down here at the dam, forming the "Wolong Waterfall". The dramatic contrast between movement and stillness makes people realize that there is a constantly surging underground river water at the bottom of Wolong Lake, but there is no water in the upper reaches of Wolong Waterfall. The two ends of the waterfall are still and moving, artificially creating two worlds of stillness and movement, yin and yang. It is said that even if the water level rises and floods pour down, Wolongtan is like an abyss, and the surface of the pool is like a mirror. From the front of the Wolongtan Waterfall, the water falls from the dam, and the neat trickle looks very slender and beautiful, but it is rainy and foggy when it is close, and the water roars.

        After watching Wolong Lake, there is a sightseeing station not far in front, where you can go to Yuanyang Lake and Tianzhong Cave. Yuanyang Lake is good at entertainment, and you can mainly row boats to visit the water forest inlaid with dense forests and interspersed with forest streams, but it will not cost much. It takes less time, and Tianzhong Cave is a cave for viewing calcified stalactites, and Xiaoqi Kong is mainly for watching water. In order to save time, we decided to abandon these two places and go directly to the next stop, Cuigu Wetland, Cuigu Wetland and Cuigu Wetland. Cuigu Waterfall is connected together, and a hydrophilic plank road divides it into two sides. On the left is Shangdingji Lake, and on the right is Cuigu Wetland. Walking along the plank road, the flowing water is gurgling all the way, and the mountains are reflected in the open area, just like a landscape map of Guilin. When you come to the Cuigu Waterfall at the uppermost reaches of the Xiangshui River, you can get the name of Cuigu because it is located in the valley among the green mountains. There are many dense waterfalls in Xiaoqikong, and Cuigu Waterfall is the one with the largest drop. It is more than 60 meters high, but it looks gentle and jade-like from a distance. It looks like a jade belt hanging in the lush mountains. It pours down, the waves splash, and the water is misty, just like a group of dragons descending the mountain, fresh and pleasing to the eye. Swim past the waterfall and go forward to Cuigu station, from here you can take a bus to the water forest. Basically, you are walking along the stream for one or two kilometers. It is too laborious. The water forest is called the Yaochi of Xiaoqikong. It is a relatively rare karst landform. The distance of more than 600 meters is divided into two sections. , Thinking about saving energy and time, focusing on water viewing, we did not go to Shishang Forest, but to the Broken Bridge Waterfall. In the Xiangshui River, pedestrians pass under the waterfall, which is very interesting. But no matter how you look at the water flow, it seems to be gushing out of a disconnected water pipe. I don't know if this scenic spot is formed naturally or artificially. After passing the Broken Bridge Waterfall and continuing to move forward, you will arrive at Shuanglong Waterfall, and then go forward to the 68-level waterfall. This kind of geology and landscape is rare even in the whole country. The difference in height difference, the shape of the river bed, and the width of the river make the falling water form a trickle, or sound like a bell, or flow like a horse, or like a pearl falling into jade, with various shapes and dizzying sights. This section is also the most crowded place for tourists in the entire Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. If you walk a short distance, you can hear the thunderous sound of water in front of you. That is the Laya Waterfall. The Laya Waterfall is 10 meters wide and has a drop. It reaches 30 meters, as if falling from the sky, like a mountain falling, spraying from the sky, the horizontally falling Laya Waterfall and the vertically scattered 68-level waterfalls of the Xiangshui River form a wonderful three-dimensional cross waterfall group landscape. The waterfall is on the side of the road, and people are under the waterfall. The overwhelming water drops cover the people on the plank road in water mist, bringing a little coolness in the hot and humid summer. Going forward is the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge, the end point of the Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot. The origin of the name of the Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot is precisely because of this exquisite seven-hole stone bridge. The stone bridge is 25 meters long and the bridge deck is 4 meters wide. This stone bridge built in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty belongs to the Ancient Tea Horse Road, so the local tea is also very famous. At that time, the ancient bridge was the road of business travel to Guizhou and Guangxi, with Guizhou at one end and Guangxi at the other. Presented in front of our eyes at this moment is a quaint stone bridge covered with vines and ferns, with azure blue lake water, quiet and without any ripples. The reflection of the stone bridge and the quiet water of the lake give people an elegant and tranquil atmosphere like an empty valley orchid, beautiful and picturesque, and a floating boat in the rippling blue waves and dreamlike Hanbitan sets it off. It becomes a paradise, a fairyland on earth, and a natural picture scroll. Compared with Jiuzhaigou, Xiaoqikong is a little less colorful, but it is enchanting with green.

       At this moment, we have visited Xiaoqikong for about 5 and a half hours. We started from the west gate, because the west side is higher than the east side in terms of terrain, and the hiking sections in the scenic area are basically downhill, which saves energy, but We are still tired. After seeing the two ends of the bridge across the Zhangjiang River, we said goodbye to the Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot. Although the scenic spot is called Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot, it actually consists of two parts. Xiaoqikong Kong and Daqikong, Daqikong scenic spot is mainly to see "Tiansheng Bridge" and "Yaofeng Cave". , Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, which is nearly three hours away, decided to give up visiting the Daqikong Scenic Spot.

       After having a simple meal in the small town of Mengliubuyi, I hurried to Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, which is more than 200 kilometers away, passing by the Danzhai terraced field parking spot on the way. You can stop here to watch, and you can just take a rest. It may be red in the afternoon. The sun is so hot that there is no grass or tree to cover the viewing point, and the height of the viewing point is not enough. The Danzhai terraces that are not to be missed in the guide are not very interesting in our eyes. Go ahead and drive past the capital of southeast Guizhou After Kaili City, I got off the expressway at the Xijiang Exit. Epidemic prevention measures were put in place here. All the people on board got out of the car for inspection, checked their health codes, and took their temperature, otherwise they would not be allowed to pass.

        Three and a half hours later, we arrived at the Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in southeastern Guizhou from Xiaoqikong Scenic Spot in Libo. Self-driving cars are parked in the parking lot outside the west gate of the scenic spot. It takes about one kilometer to walk from the parking lot to the entrance of the scenic spot. Most scenic spots in Guizhou have similar problems, that is, from the parking lot to the scenic spot gate, or from the scenic spot gate to the scenic spot for sightseeing. There is a commercial street at least 500 meters to 1000 meters away from the bus stop. When you come to the entrance of the west gate of Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, although the flow is limited during the epidemic, there is still a long queue. After entering the scenic spot, take the scenic bus to transfer Get off at the station, walk about 300 meters, and then change to a sightseeing bus to the direction of No. 1 Fengyu Bridge. Because foreign vehicles are prohibited from entering, taking a scenic sightseeing bus to enter Miao Village is the only choice for every tourist.

       Because the inn we booked is located at a high place in Miao Village, the inn steward told us in advance not to bring large luggage in, anyway, we only stayed for one night, we brought some things that needed to be changed and washed lightly into the village, and took a sightseeing bus Come to the intersection of Wangyue Inn in front of No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge that the steward told us, let the driver let us get off, and see the sign of Moshang Huakai Inn where we will stay tonight, then call the inn steward, and the steward will come over after a while Help with luggage and lead the way. It is an important option to come to Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang to see the panorama of Miao Village and the lights of thousands of families in Miao Village, and you must choose a high place to see it comprehensively. See the introduction of the Raiders on the mountain near the viewing platform to see the entire Xijiang Miao Village The best thing is that we have chosen Moshang Blossom Inn under the Floral brand among the many hotels, inns, and B&Bs in Miao Village. Indeed, this Moshang Blossom Inn is really a lovely place, and it has an excellent view location , You can enjoy the panoramic view of the Miao Village from the guest room. The inn is also equipped with a public book bar and a viewing platform. Looking at the configuration, we feel that we have chosen the right place.

       Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is currently the largest Miao village in China and even in the world. It is rated as a must-see travel destination by the New York Times. The United Nations World Cultural Organization awarded it one of the 18 ecological and cultural protection circles in the world. We In the room where you stay, you can overlook the panoramic view of the Miao Village from the window. It is surrounded by mountains and mountains. The houses and green trees are intertwined, magnificent and magnificent, and the white water at the foot of the mountain passes through the village. The whole Miao village gives people a sense of mystery, simplicity and romance, as well as the unique charm of national culture.

         After taking a short rest in the guest room, because the inn does not serve food and beverages during the epidemic, you have to go down the mountain to eat. The housekeeper recommended an online celebrity restaurant at the foot of the mountain. We went down the mountain slowly, surrounded by stone steps, moss moss, trails, twists and turns. The wooden buildings are well arranged, the small river passes through the village, and the countryside is piled up against the mountains. This is hidden deep outside the green mountains and green waters. Although the Miao Village among the mountains and mountains is inevitably affected by foreign commerce, the architecture and terrain are still the same. In terms of traditional culture, food and clothing, Qianhu Miao Village has relatively completely preserved the original ecology.

        Came to the Internet celebrity Gengduji restaurant located on a mountainside near No. 1 Fengyu Bridge. The viewing balcony of this restaurant is full of tables, which is definitely a highlight. Of course, their dishes are also very special. Drinking Sipping wine, looking at the scenery, and chatting with the boss who looks very literary. A very interesting dining experience.

       In the dinner room, twilight is approaching. As the light dims, the lights in front of every house are lit up one after another. The stilted buildings with tens of thousands of lights are stacked on top of each other, making people feel like entering a foreign world. In the inn, pick up the tripod, come to the viewing platform of the inn, lean on the railing and look far away, the whole Miao Village, the lights of Wanjia light up the earth, the Miao Village at night is undoubtedly the most shocking, the lights of Wanjia are brightly lit, like stars A little bit, as if comparing with the stars in the sky who is brighter! Overlooking the entire Miao Village, the lights are everywhere, the lights are shining, the buildings, bridge shapes, and flowing water are the scenery of the Miao Village at night, with a different style.

2020-07-29. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village-Liping Zhaoxing Dong Village-Tang'an Dong Village

         In the early morning, when you open the window, you can see the green smoke slowly rising along the stilted buildings, and the Miao Village is looming in the clouds and mist of Leigong Mountain. The entire Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is in perfect harmony with nature. A light rain last night made the stilted buildings, terraced fields and mountains in front of you look like splashed ink, like an ink painting. The most beautiful scenery is in the early morning. There are detour trails and observation decks at higher places. It is better to see the panoramic view of Xijiang Miao Village, because we live on the mountain, and the observation deck on the top of the mountain is not far away, so we hurried to climb the mountain. Climbing up to the viewing platform, it is really amazing, with layers of mountains, light smoke from cooking, and blurred clouds. Overlooking the layers of Miao villages in the clouds and beside the bushes, the corners of the eaves are changing, the mountains are in the misty place, and the Baishui River in the morning, from a distance, the densely packed villages are like two golden necklaces inlaid on the mountain. The mountains behind the village are separated from each other until they merge with the clouds, making people seem to be in the fog, and they are intoxicated unconsciously.

Back at the inn, the sun has penetrated the morning mist and shone on the earth. The whole Miao village is shining brightly as if God favored it. We still go down the mountain to have breakfast first, then take a stroll, take a walk, and see the Miao Village during the day. Miao women like to wear silver jewelry. Walking in the streets and alleys of Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, you can see women covered in silver everywhere. Of course, these are not all local Miao girls, but tourists who have rented local Miao costumes. Not far from the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge, here is the famous Lusheng Field in Miao Village. Every day at 10 am (free of charge), the Miao family singing and dancing performances are performed. All the villagers in the village participate in the performance. Under the black Miao clothes, the men are dressed in black gowns, and the singing and dancing of the Miao family is another way of living and working.

Continue to walk along the Baishui River. The most beautiful scenery of the Miao Village is concentrated on the Baishui River and the Fengyu Bridge. There are now six famous Fengyu Bridges lined up along the Baishui River in Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. The bridge is built as an all-wood structure and is easily damaged by water. Now they are all made of cement and wood mixed structure. The section from No. 5 Bridge to No. 3 Bridge is probably the most beautiful and lively. Many tourists will choose to take pictures in this area with Baishui River and Fengyu Bridge as the background. No. 1 Fengyu Bridge The bridge is the most gorgeous of all the wind and rain bridges, because here you can not only have a panoramic view of several villages built on the mountainside in the hinterland of the Miao nationality on the northeast bank of the Baishui River, but also take the most upstream terraced fields and the hills behind as the background. In the picture, and only this one is accessible by car. Diaojiaolou, Bronze Drum, Lusheng, Miao Nu, Miao Decoration, Wind and Rain Bridge, and Meirenjiao are some of the highlights in Miao Village. When you walk in Miao Village, you will find strong Miao customs everywhere.

      After appreciating the unique and mysterious Miao customs, we left Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang at noon and went to our next destination.

        Because we didn’t make an appointment for the tickets for Fanjing Mountain on the morning of July 31, we had half a day more free time to review the strategy and change the itinerary, adding the Liping Zhaoxing Dong Village that was not included in the original itinerary. 

       In the southeast of Guizhou, the Miao and Dong villages cannot be bypassed after all. For the Dong people, the most representative one is the drum tower of each village. The Zhaoxing Dong Village is not only the Drum Tower. The Zhaoxing Dong Village has been selected as one of the "Six Most Beautiful Ancient Villages and Towns in China". The tourism resources with outstanding ethnic culture and characteristics are the customs of ethnic minorities in the Lijiang area of ​​Yunnan and the Kaili area of ​​Guizhou. When they found that the magical customs of Zhaoxing Dong people were comparable to those of Lijiang, European and American guests especially liked it. It was known as "the largest ethnic museum in the world", "the last home of human tired souls", "the oldest ballad preserved by human beings" , the United Nations World Cultural Foundation has identified it as one of the top ten tourist destinations for "returning to nature and returning to nature", and one of the 18 ecological and cultural protection circles in the world awarded by the World Rural Culture Protection Foundation (there are two in Asia, except Qiandongnan. One is Tibet, China). In the eyes of the Chinese people, the Zhaoxing Dong Village has always been a minority. It may be because it is hidden deep in the mountains at the junction of Guizhou and Guangxi. The traffic was inconvenient in the past, but now the traffic conditions have been greatly improved. Expressways and high-speed rails have greatly brought Liping Dong Village closer. The time and space distance of the outside world, we arrived at Zhaoxing Dong Village after driving for more than three hours from Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. This place is the same as Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. Self-driving cars cannot enter the village. You need to change to a scenic sightseeing car at the gate of the scenic spot to reach the village. Door. Outside the gate of the village is a green paddy field. The simple and mysterious scenery of the border village is integrated with the green mountains and beautiful valleys. The Huakai boutique hotel next to the central square in the far distance. After checking in at the hotel, it was obvious that the place was deserted, and there seemed to be no people there. Compared with Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, although it belongs to Qiandongnan Prefecture, it is more original. Some. After taking a short rest in the guest room, I wanted to go around the central square at the entrance of the inn. The enthusiastic innkeeper introduced us to the Zhaoxing Dong Village, and especially recommended Tang’an Dong Village. This is a place we have never done a strategy on. It is said that the Tang’an Terraced Fields Hiking Line is “one of the seven most beautiful hiking routes in China”, and it is also a good place to watch the terraced fields and the sunset. Of course, there is not enough time to go on foot, but you can take a public bus. The last bus is at 6 pm At 5:30 p.m., it was already 5:30 p.m., and we could catch up with the time. The inn had a ticket for 20 yuan for a round trip. We hurriedly bought the ticket, took our camera and hurried to the boarding point. The boarding point is at the Shangzhai (Dongzhaimen) parking lot, and the inn we stayed at (Xizhaimen), it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the Shangzhai parking lot. I hurried along the main street in Zhaizhong, and finally caught up with the bus.

        The car circled up along the steep and narrow road, surrounded by green terraces, a summer scene, about 20 minutes later the car drove to the end of the road at the top of the mountain, here is Tang'an Dong Village, a folk house in the mountains Standing on the mountain, the hanging feet are in order...Looking down, the endless scattered terraced fields have built a pure mountain scenery, and the densely packed houses at the foot of the mountain in the distance are where we stayed. Zhaoxing Dong Village, Tangan Dong Village is 6 kilometers away from Zhaoxing Dong Village. It is the only ecological museum of the Dong nationality in the world jointly established by the Chinese and Norwegian governments. Walking into the village, this is a magical and poetic pure Dong nationality. The village is surrounded by green hills and towering ancient trees. There is also a drum tower in the center of the village, as well as supporting facilities such as a pond and a stage. The residents here are very simple, and there are not so many commercial things here. Old people sit around the drum tower and chat. Resting, the children are playing around, a view of the paradise that is indifferent to the world, and the outside life does not seem to affect them. We walked through the stone path in the village, walked to a high place behind the village, and found Tang'an Tong The village is built on a large terraced field, surrounded by "ten thousand hectares of terraced fields". The Dong village has row upon row of wooden buildings on stilts, blue tile eaves arranged in an orderly manner, and the Drum Tower still stands out from the crowd.

        After wandering around the village for nearly an hour, I saw that it was approaching sunset, so I hurried back to the viewing platform outside the village where I got off just now, and waited quietly for the sunset to come. The scenery in front of us makes us intoxicated: surrounded by mountains, misty mist in the distance, singing birds and insects; tens of thousands of hectares of fragrant rice terraces with distinct colors and criss-crossing; lush mountains and rice fields dotted with ancient houses full of Dong ethnic style... a picture The poetic idyllic scenery with its own filter came into view, the sun in the evening had already set, and the dazzling light was taken back. The boundless sky was azure blue and the soft blush on the horizon, and the mountains looked very beautiful under the reflection of the setting sun , The sun slowly descends. When the first sunset illuminates the ten thousand hectares of rice fields, the rice fields suddenly become golden. When the first sunset illuminates the tree branches, the branches become golden green and golden green. When the first sunset The tree in the distance is illuminated, and the tree becomes hazy golden. The shape of the sun changes from a circular semicircle to an irregular shape, getting smaller and smaller, and it is about to disappear. The sun seems to be infinitely nostalgic for this world, trying to shine light On the earth, as if it wanted to add more light and heat to the world, it tried its best to shoot out the last ray of golden light today, and then disappeared into the embrace of the mountains. After enjoying a stunning sunset on the top of the mountain , the driver of the last bus urged us down the mountain.

         Back at the bottom of the mountain, the Zhaoxing Dong Village is already lit up. Walking through the antique streets of Zhaoxing Dong Village, you will find that every corner of the ancient town is carefully decorated with colorful lights. The bright moon above the head is reflected in the river water, and the lights interact The intersecting light made the river surface brighter, and the figure of the willow tree was also reflected in the water, shaking gently on the water surface. The radiant and brightly lit night scene depicts a beautiful landscape of the Dong village. The Dong people have three treasures: Drum Tower, Fengyu Bridge and Dong songs. Each drum tower corresponds to a wind and rain bridge and a stage, and when the lights are turned on, the whole drum tower looks resplendent and magnificent, and it will appear more artistic under the reflection of the water. The Dong village in the night is much more popular than the daytime. Tourists and locals sit around the street, enjoy the coolness and chat, or drink and eat, giving off the atmosphere of market life. After eating something in the street, we hurried back to the inn where we stayed. There is a viewing platform on the hill outside the gate of the village. It is a good place to overlook the whole village. The village is brightly lit, and the Drum Tower and Fengyu Bridge decorated with lights are like a giant dragon winding in the village.

2020-07-30. Liping Zhaoxing Dong Village - Zhenyuan Ancient City

       Because the proprietress of the inn introduced yesterday that the viewing platform outside the gate of the village is the best place to shoot the sunrise, I came to the viewing platform again in the morning to shoot the night scene last night. The five towering drum towers, the well-defined traditional dwellings, and the entire Dong village can be seen here at a glance. At this time, many photographers gathered on the viewing platform, and everyone set up their tripods and waited for the sunrise. ...... Zhaoxing Dong Village is surrounded by mountains in the smoke. The village is built in a basin in the mountains. Two streams merge into a small river and pass through the village. The houses in the village are dry stilted buildings, row upon row , patchwork, all built with fir, hard mountain top covered with small blue tiles, simple and practical, the basin in the distance between the mountains is covered with clouds and fog, and the light mist passes through the layers of stilted buildings, drifting to the distant mountains and straight up to the sky , the stockade looms, like a thick and colorful landscape painting. It's a pity that today's weather is not beautiful. After waiting for a long time on the viewing platform, the mist that shrouded the sky lingered for a long time, and the expected morning glow did not come. Everyone left the viewing platform in disappointment.

         After finishing the morning shooting, I went back to the inn to tidy up and then went out to have breakfast. The Dong village in the early morning belongs to the locals. On the main road, there are popular breakfast shops queuing up, or breakfast stalls pushed by aunts in Dong costumes, or old people carrying local products and vegetables. The neighbors call, It is a good time to experience the original ecological life as the local sounds pass through the city. In the Dong village in the early morning, because the people who do business or sell goods are all locals, the prices of food and beverages have also dropped to the original level, and there are also many unknown snacks and snacks that can only be found here.

       We walked leisurely in the village, surrounded by ancient trees in the sky, accompanied by small bridges and flowing water, a feeling of returning to the life in the countryside, and the locals in traditional costumes live here and live comfortably Happy, simple and enviable. As the largest Dong village in the country, Zhaoxing Dong village is most famous for its drum tower group, which is unique among the Dong villages in China and has been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records, and is known as the "Hometown of Drum Tower Culture and Art". Because there are five major ethnic groups living in five natural areas in the Dong village, they are called "groups" locally. According to the rules of a drum tower, flower bridge, and stage for each ethnic group of the Dong family, the five major groups in the village have their own The drum towers are five drum towers of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith", five flower bridges and five theater stages. The appearance, height, size and style of the five drum towers are different, and they are magnificent. The Drum Tower looks like a pagoda from the outside, with flying pavilions and double eaves, majestic. The whole building is a wooden structure building, using four large fir as the main pillars to reach the top floor, and another auxiliary pillar with horizontal and vertical melons on it, extending to the surroundings, all connected by wooden tenons. The traditional structure method is a Leigong pillar suspended in the center, four gold pillars as the main supporting pillars, and twelve eaves pillars around it. All rooms are painted with dragons, phoenixes, birds and animals, ancient and modern figures, flowers, plants, fish and insects, and the customs of Dong people's life, etc., which are exquisite and elegant. The bottom is mostly square, and there are wooden benches around the building for people to sit on. In the middle is a large circular fire pit. To our surprise, such a magnificent Drum Tower was designed by the skillful craftsmen of the Dong nationality. The size connection between the beams and columns is all calculated by the craftsman. There are no drawings, no nails and rivets, and they are all made of wooden tenons. This makes us full of respect for the Drum Tower in front of us, because it embodies the unity of the Dong family. The charm of the Drum Tower and the wisdom of the Dong family building the Drum Tower for generations and the inheritance of the local ethnic rules.

       Zhaoxing Dong Village itself is not big, and you can walk slowly for half a day, but the architectural layout here is ingenious, with flower bridges, drum towers, streams, and stilted buildings interspersed with each other. Knowing the meaning of returning to the original, Zhaoxing Dong Village with stilted buildings, Tang’an Dong Village on terraced fields, and many other villages that have been visited before, there are romantic sister festivals, lively Zhouxi market, and the most beautiful Dong nationality Songs, simple fairs, papermaking, long-table banquets, etc....For those of us outsiders who are looking at flowers on horseback, we can only see a little bit, but the primitiveness, tranquility and simplicity here will last for a long time stay in our memory.

    After driving for more than three hours from Zhaoxing Dong Village, we came to the famous Zhenyuan Ancient City in Guizhou. Zhenyuan used to be an important traffic route leading to Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi and other places. Because the Wuyang River in the city passes through the city from west to east, and the waterway traffic is developed, more than a dozen wharves were built, which quickly prospered as freight distribution centers. It is known as "the key of Dian Chu and the gateway of eastern Guizhou". In the Ming Dynasty, it was a veritable ancient city. On the north bank of the Wuyang River was the old mansion city, and on the south bank was the old Acropolis. The entire ancient town took the Wuyang River as the source of the axis. The main scenic spots in the ancient city were distributed on both sides of the Wuyang River. Well, because during the daytime, social vehicles are prohibited on the streets on the north bank of the Wuyang River in the ancient city of Zhenyuan, and the inn we booked is on the north bank. The owner of the inn has instructed us to park the car in the parking lot of the Forestry Bureau on the south bank in advance, and then sent someone to pick us up. Guizhou this year The climate is abnormal. The original summer resort is full of heat waves. Zhenyuan may be due to its geographical location. It is the place where we feel the highest temperature after we came to Guizhou. After walking for more than ten minutes, we crossed the ancient bridge on the Wuyang River to consecrate Bridge, under the scorching sun, we were already sweating profusely. The Shanshuitan Inn we booked was located in a row of buildings at the foot of Shiping Mountain and facing the river. We stayed in a balcony room with a river view. Looking out from the balcony railing, we could see the blessings. Holy Bridge, and Qinglong Cave is on the other side of the river. The sun was scorching outside, and we drove for more than three hours. We were hot and tired. We decided to stay in the room and rest, avoiding the scorching sun in the afternoon, and sitting on the balcony , Drinking tea, blowing the river breeze, the green Wuyang River flows softly in the ancient city, and the boats of the ancient city people float on the river. At this time, the balcony shows us a traditional and quiet Zhenyuan. Facing such a scenery , the heat and fatigue were swept away.

       When the scorching sun subsided, we decided to go out to visit the ancient city. A bowl of chicken shredded bean curd from a century-old shop first made us remember the taste of Zhenyuan. Different from Guizhou's multi-ethnic style, Zhenyuan Ancient City is an alternative in Guizhou. It seems to be completed here with the style and customs of the Han people in the Central Plains. The piers of the Zhusheng Bridge on the Wuyang River were built in the Ming Dynasty, and the bridge body was built in the Qing Dynasty. The whole bridge is made of bluestone. Before it was renamed Zhusheng Bridge for Emperor Kangxi's birthday, it had another name called Xiqiao. In the fourth year of Guangxu, the Zhuangyuan Building on the Zhusheng Bridge, also called Kuixing Pavilion, was added. Walking on the ancient bridge, we seem to have traveled back to that era through time and space...... Walking down the Zhusheng Bridge, the river The south bank is Qinglong Cave. We are very lucky. Qinglong Cave has been under maintenance some time ago, and it was reopened on July 20. Show the free ticket information that you have reserved in advance and show your ID card to enter. Qinglong Cave is actually a group of ancient religious buildings with a history of more than 500 years. Zen Academy, Zhongchanyuan and other pavilions, even because of the relationship between the Miao and Dong multi-ethnic areas, the Miao and Dong stilted buildings were cleverly built to overlook the Wuyang River. As "Southern Hanging Temple" and Guizhou Ancient Architecture Museum. After we entered, we climbed up the pavilions one by one, surrounded by walls and facing the sky, with five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, swaying wings and cornices, carved beams and painted buildings. Depending on the mountain and the location, these ancient buildings are naturally integrated with cliffs, ancient trees, vines, rock banks, and karst caves. A river of clear water, Wuyang River, passes through the city in an S-shape, while Qinglong Cave looks at the Zhusheng Bridge with a history of more than 600 years, and the Zhusheng Bridge is reflected in the Wuyang River, forming a harmonious picture of the ancient city. The green hills and the buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties in the ancient city complement each other and have a unique flavor. You can feel that Zhenyuan is not only as beautiful as a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but also has the grandeur of the southwest mountains because of the surrounding mountains.

       From Qinglong Cave, we continued to wander in the ancient city, ancient streets, ancient alleys, ancient wells, ancient piers, ancient city walls, and various historic sites scattered in the streets and alleys of the ancient city. No need to look for it deliberately, whether you are walking or sitting by the river, you can feel the solidification of history here. The ancient streets are lined with well-arranged houses, and the red, green, and blue reflections are reflected on the clear river. If you don't see the mountains in the distance, you will think that you have come to the Jiangnan water town. Different from the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhenyuan Ancient Town is known as the Chinese Mountain Cliff Architectural Culture Museum, where the ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, folk houses, and lanes with blue bricks and black tiles, cornices and upturned corners are gathered here. In particular, the various deep houses and courtyards that used to be located on the north bank of the Wuyang River are distributed in the undulating and well-proportioned ancient alleys. The villa-style courtyard not only has the shadow of Jiangnan courtyard, but also has the layout of mountain buildings, and the buildings here also have a distinctive feature called "crooked ways". In the ancient city of Zhenyuan, the gates of the courtyards are often not directly facing the lanes but diagonally facing the streets. , the gate is not perpendicular or parallel to the alley, and the hall is definitely not facing the alley. This architectural style is mainly because there used to be many merchants living here.

         After wandering around the ancient city for a while, I was hungry, and I happened to see an Internet celebrity restaurant and hurried into the store for dinner. After dinner, I walked out of the restaurant. It was already dark, and the lanterns along the street were all lit up. The whole ancient town had a different view. There was no business and noise like other ancient cities. The air was filled with the most daily fireworks. And now we want to climb Shiping Mountain in Zhenyuan Ancient City to see the night view of the ancient city. There are many well-preserved ancient alleys under Shiping Mountain. There are many ancient dwellings in the ancient alleys. From west to east, there are Chongzikou Alley, Renshou Alley, and Fuxing Alley. and Sifangjing Lane, etc. Walking to the gate of Sifangjing Lane, there is a memorial archway of Shiping Giant Town, and there is a sign beside it pointing to Shiping Mountain. Along the Qingshiban trail, walk into Sifangjing Alley. The ancient houses and alleyways are set against the red lanterns. It feels like traveling back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Not far from entering the alley, you can see an ancient well. This well is Sifang The origin of the name of the well lane, the well water inside comes from the mountain spring on Shiping Mountain, warm in winter and cool in summer, fish are still raised in the well, which shows that it is still in use, continue to go deep into the alley, the ancient alley is intricate, winding paths Tongyou, we were quickly confused by the stacked and scattered stone roads. Fortunately, there were many local residents enjoying the coolness in the depths of the alleys. Under their guidance, we finally came to the halfway up the Shiping Mountain. Zhenyuan, surrounded by four vertical lines, seems to be transformed into a city that never sleeps. There are many restaurants and bars on both sides of the Wuyang River. "Nine mountains hold one water, and one water has two cities." The city, overlooking it looks like a Tai Chi Bagua map. The precipitation of history makes this small town have a unique charm. After years of wind and rain, it still looks the same. Looking at the brightly lit viewing pavilion on the top of Shiqi Mountain, you still need to climb a long step. , drank some wine, and today we decided to retreat after another day of running around. We returned to Xinglong Street from Sifangjing Lane and walked towards Zhusheng Bridge. The dim lights matched the cornices of ancient buildings very well. Shiping Mountain is not illuminated, but there are many small lights that twinkle on the mountain wall, like a sky full of stars, very romantic. Back near the Zhusheng Bridge, the lights on both sides of the river are brightly lit, and there are sightseeing boats and bridges swimming back and forth in the river. The flow of people is like weaving, I have to feel that in this ancient city of Zhenyuan, you can feel the weight of time and at the same time it is a city full of vitality.

2020-07-31. Zhenyuan Ancient City-Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area-Weng'an County

       It is about 140 kilometers from Zhenyuan Ancient City to Fanjing Mountain. After driving for two hours, we came to the foot of Fanjing Mountain in the direction of Jiangkou County. We parked the car outside the gate of the scenic spot, and saw the crowds all around. The broadcast of the tourist service center They are shouting over and over again that the reservation tickets for Fanjingshan Scenic Area are full, and tourists who have not reserved tickets, please come back. In 2018, Mount Fanjing was included in the World Natural Heritage List, and National Geographic, one of the most well-known travel magazines in the world, released a travel list for 19 years. 23 places around the world were on the list, and one of them was from Guizhou, China. Jingshan, this series of media fueled the flames and turned Fanjingshan, a place that was originally raised in a boudoir and no one knew it, into a holy place for Internet celebrities in Guizhou and even the whole country. The most difficult thing to travel to Guizhou now is to get Fanjingshan. Mountain tickets, because before July 31st is the last day of free tickets for tourist attractions in Guizhou Province, the reservation starting at 8:00 a.m. one week in advance is basically a spike. The admission time of the tickets we reserved is at 12:00 noon, and it is only past 10 o'clock at the moment. I want to try my luck to see if I can enter in advance. I came to the entrance of the scenic spot with a long queue and asked because it was inside the scenic spot. There is a situation on the road, the road is not smooth, and the tourists who entered the venue at ten o'clock are still waiting. Seeing this posture, they hurriedly retreated, and honestly went to a food street outside the visitor center to eat something first. take a break.

           At 12:00 noon, we swiped our ID cards to enter the scenic spot on time. There was a long queue at the bus station of the scenic spot. The entrance of the scenic spot of Fanjing Mountain was about 10 kilometers away from the actual mountaineering starting point "Yuao". Foreign vehicles were not allowed to enter. You must take the bus in this scenic spot. Although the tickets for the scenic spot are free, you still need to pay for the round-trip minibus, which is 20 yuan per person. Fortunately, there are many buses in the scenic spot, one after another, and soon we got on the bus. The sightseeing car circled all the way up, the vegetation in the mountains is really dizzying, the sound is the sound of big and small gurgling water, it may have been heavy rain not long ago, the stream beside the road is rushing down, and you can see it from time to time Traces of water flowing across the road. The scenic bus arrives at the end point "Yu'ao", which is the starting point of mountain climbing. The first section is from "Yu'ao" to the top platform. You can choose to climb on foot or take a cable car for this section. According to the guide, if you climb on foot, you must be prepared to climb more than 8,000 steps. This section is commonly known as the "Wanbu Cloud Ladder". It takes about 4 hours one way (8 hours round trip) ), and the cable car finally goes to the 6300th level of the "Wanbu Yunladder" ("Wanbaoyan"), and then it takes about 40 minutes to reach the top of the mountain on foot. Then we must choose the cable car with most tourists. The round-trip price of the cable car It is 160 yuan, and the one-way time is about ten minutes. It saves time and effort, and you can also overlook the continuous natural scenery of Fanjing Mountain. The bus station in the scenic spot is seamlessly connected with the cable station. Overcrowded, people are close to each other, and it doesn't work at all to keep everyone at a safe distance on the radio. Fortunately, the cable car has a relatively strong carrying capacity, and we took the cable car after a short wait. After the cable car enters the cableway, it starts to accelerate and ascends with a very steep slope. The cableway is 3411.32 meters long and the altitude difference is 1193 meters. Ascending above 2000 meters above sea level, the cable car is gliding over the primeval forest. Outside the cable car, the wind and clouds are already surging. The sea of ​​clouds is surging, and sometimes it is windy, rainy and foggy to cover the sky. It feels like clouds and fog. It takes more than 10 minutes to arrive at the upper station of the cable car. When you get out of the cable car, the whistling water mist fills the air, and the cool breeze also hits you. Come, sweep away the heat at the foot of the mountain just now, and feel comfortable all over the body. This weather without warning makes people completely confused about the clues of Fanjing Mountain. I started to climb along the repaired steps and plank road. I am more resistant to climbing mountains. , but there is no way, this section has to be climbed, surrounded by fog and fog, and can’t see anything a few steps away, so we can only walk straight up, and finally reach the top platform panting after climbing more than 1,000 steps in 40 minutes. In front of you is the most famous strange stone array of Mount Fanjing. Mount Fanjing is the main peak of the Wuling Mountains. Unlike the many karst lavas in this area, the rocks here are mostly hard and difficult to dissolve in water after geological movement. metamorphic rocks, and more of them are deposited horizontally. Therefore, all kinds of boulders like flying immortals seen in Fanjing Mountain are all piled up in horizontal layers without exception. The most famous one is Mushroom Stone, this is Mount Fanjing and a landmark scenic spot in Guizhou. Its name comes from its image. It looks like a mushroom, with a height of about ten meters. The mountain has a history of more than 1 billion years, witnessing the passage of time and geological changes. We can imagine the time of more than 1 billion years, but we can't participate in it. At this moment, all we can do is to take a quick photo of the Mushroom Stone to prove that we have checked in here. At this time, the Mushroom Stone is surrounded by clouds and fog, making People have deep, mysterious, and mysterious illusions. Because the platform in front of Mushroom Stone is small and crowded with tourists, it is difficult to take a photo. Fanjing Mountain has three tops, one is called Mushroom Top, one is called Jinding (old Jinding), and the other is called Hongyun Jinding (new Jinding). According to the guide, you should be able to see Hongyunjin on the left hand side on the platform in front of Mushroom Stone. The top and the old Jinding on the right hand side, the two golden tops are facing each other far away, but at this time there is only a long mist around, and there is no trace of the old and new Jinding. Now the top of Fanjing Mountain with a higher rate of appearance is the Red Cloud Golden Summit, surrounded by clouds and mist A mountain peak stands out among them. Jindao Gorge divides the mountain peak into two, which are connected by a small bridge. Will choose to climb Hongyun Jinding. When we were facing the misty sky, suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the red cloud golden roof towering like a huge exclamation mark was looming in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland, and the old golden roof on the right was also there It appears and disappears in the clouds and mist, "In the blink of an eye, when the wind and the cloud meet, you can move out of thin air and become a fairy." Regardless of the season, no matter whether it is morning or evening, Fanjing Mountain has been playing the rhapsody of the clouds. In ten days, eight days have heavy fog, and the fog rises. No matter the season, no matter the darkness, there is no direction to come, no time to go, everything is unintentional or unintentional, everything is natural, strange, all in an instant, facing the sudden glimpse, admiration arises spontaneously in my heart, wow, so there can still be For this kind of scenery, at this moment, I can only quickly pick up the camera in my hand, press the freeze button, and piece together the shimmering fragments scattered in front of my eyes.

       At the Mushroom Stone, we overlooked the old and new Jinding in the mist, and went down to Pudu Square to prepare to climb the Red Cloud Golden Summit. When we arrived at the entrance of the Red Cloud Golden Summit, there was a long line of tourists preparing to climb to the summit. Team, moving slowly, the weather on Mount Fanjing is changing rapidly, the wind is clear one second, and the next second is stormy. At this time, there is a lot of rain without symptoms, and the old and new Jinding are completely hidden at this time. Get up, there is no trace. Thinking of stepping on the steep stone steps in the rain, grasping the iron chain with both hands, and climbing the cliff with hands and feet, the narrow stone steps and plank road can only allow one person to pass almost the whole way, which makes it more difficult and takes longer, and it takes longer to go up. It is estimated that I can’t see anything in the state. After discussing with my companions, I decided to retreat. Seeing that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, I can only look at the mountain and sigh. It’s time to say goodbye to Fanjing Mountain. I can’t climb up and get close. Close at hand but far away in the world, this famous Buddhist mountain full of mystery and immortality can only be left to chance.

       It was more than five o'clock in the afternoon when we descended from Mount Fanjing and returned to the gate of the scenic spot. We had already made a plan, and headed to Guiyang first, and then decided where to stay tonight according to the situation on the way. Not long after leaving Fanjing Mountain, which belongs to the Tongren area of ​​Guizhou, we entered the Qiannan area. Along the way, the majestic shore of the mountain, the momentum of the stone, the aura of the water, and the beauty of the forest fully rendered the picturesque Jiangnan area. After driving for nearly two hours in this beautiful scenery, I was hungry and a little tired, and Guiyang still had nearly two hours to drive, so I decided to get off the expressway to find a place to eat and sleep nearby. Weng'an, located in the hinterland of Guizhou, is an old revolutionary base area. The Red Army's Long March has passed through Weng'an four times. Weng'an is also the national ecological production base of phosphorus chemical industry. It has the reputation of "Phosphorus Warehouse in Asia". Like many places in Guizhou, with the development of economy in recent years, the urban construction has taken on a new look. Not far from the highway, it seems that there is a new development zone with wide and clean roads and tall buildings on both sides. Lin Li, seeing hotels and restaurants, quickly parked the car. The Yongjiang Hotel we stayed in is a business hotel that has just opened. The room is large and the facilities are all available and it is very new. Because Weng'an is not a tourist hotspot, the hotel The price is also cheap. It is very good that there is a newly opened Qianniu Shun restaurant near the hotel with a very distinctive decoration. It specializes in beef hot pot. The local small yellow cattle in Guizhou are very famous. We ordered beef with whole beef offal, and a little vegetable. The side dishes taste quite good, and the price is super high. This dinner made us enjoy it.

2020-08-01 Weng'an County - Guiyang Yelang Valley Scenic Area - Jiaxiu Building - Qingyun Road Night Market

       We woke up naturally in the morning, and after eating the buffet breakfast in the hotel, we headed for Guiyang, the last stop of our itinerary. We passed the second highest bridge in the world, with a total length of 2172.4 meters and a main span of 1130 meters. The 406-meter-long Qingshuihe Bridge soon brought us into Guiyang. Instead of entering the urban area, we first visited the Yelang Valley in Huaxi, a suburb of Guiyang. Because Guizhou was called Yelang in ancient times, we wanted to come here to explore the past of Guizhou.

      Coming to the vicinity of Yelang Valley, which is an urban-rural junction, the environment looks a bit dilapidated, but the moment you enter Yelang Valley, it seems that you have left the world and entered a mysterious world. At the gate, you can see stone pillars made of stone bricks from a distance. On the stone pillars is a vivid Yelang face. After entering the scenic spot, you find that the stone kingdom hidden behind the trees is more attractive to others. Those first few stone pillars were just the tip of the iceberg. We seem to have traveled to the primitive tribe hundreds of years ago, and the mysterious and exaggerated stone kingdom took us into another time and space. Arched door openings made of rough stones, and cylindrical stone pillars are arranged in front of the mountain wall. Some are just decorations, and some are pieced together into different facial makeup. The stone pillars with facial expressions immediately come alive. Different stone figures There are different expressions on the face, sculptures of various shapes, some are built with stones, some are stacked with ceramic fragments, which vividly embodies the art of the land and is full of the mysterious place of the ancient Yelang country, but it was created by one person. It was built with investment. In 1997, Song Peilun, known as "artist in the United States" and "master of comics", gave up all kinds of identities that allowed him to live comfortably. In this valley in Huaxi District, Guiyang, he set out to create the "Yelang Kingdom" in his heart. "At that time, he was over sixty years old, and he borrowed more than 3 million. He spent 22 years of his life carefully crafting and leaving it to people. This fantastic art place, Yelang Valley covers an area of ​​200,000 square meters, with a large scale. It’s a big deal. For those of us who are art laymen, we can almost finish the main river valley in 1-2 hours, but if we use the eyes of an artist to carefully consider these sculptures, half a day is not enough.

        Coming out of Huaxi Yelang Valley, we went straight to the center of Guiyang. We stayed at Shuiyuntian Hotel, which is one step away from Jiaxiu Tower by the Nanming River. Hotel, but the location is absolutely top-notch. You can see Jiaxiu Tower from the room, and it only takes three minutes to walk to Jiaxiu Tower. The surrounding supermarkets and restaurants are all available, and shopping and eating are very convenient.

       In Guiyang, mountains and cities blend together, and the city is in the forest. The perfect combination of the three in the mountain forest city makes the summer here very cool, known as "23-degree air-conditioning province" and "cool Guiyang". , the heat was unbearable, we had to hide in the hotel to avoid the hottest time at noon. When the sun was a little weaker, we decided to go to Jiaxiu Tower first, because in our concept, Jiaxiu Tower can be said to be The symbol of Guiyang, there seems to be no other place to go to Guiyang except to see Jiaxiu Tower. Walking along the riverside trail leisurely, the water of Nanming River is very clear and shallow, and the soft and boneless water plants at the bottom of the river are dancing with the waves. The scenery has a unique charm. When approaching the Jiaxiu Tower scenic spot, the first thing that catches the eye is a tall stone archway with four big characters written "City South Scenic Spot". Yumi, across the Nanming River, runs through the north and south banks. The bridge used to have nine holes, called "Nine Eyes According to the Shazhou". Later, due to the construction of a road near the river, the second hole was buried, and now only seven holes can be seen. There is a Hanbi Pavilion on the bridge , under the bridge are Hanbitan, Shuiyuetai, and to the "Aoji Stone" in the center of the river. Jiaxiu Tower is built on this huge stone. It is said that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Guizhou Jiangdong built an embankment here to connect the south bank, and The first floor was built to cultivate Fengshui. It was named "Jiaxiu", which means "Kejia Tingxiu". , although it is only 20 meters, but in ancient times, it was definitely the tallest building in the local area. Jiaxiu Tower has undergone many repairs. After four hundred years of wind and rain, it has witnessed the history and development of Guiyang. Walk across the Fuyu Bridge , is Cuiwei Garden, which was built in the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a group of large-scale ancient buildings. I wanted to enter the garden to enjoy it, but it was closed at five o'clock. We can only look at the garden and sigh. Jiaxiu Tower The surrounding area and the banks of the Nanming River are lined with high-rise buildings and a bustling area. The development of Guizhou in the past few years has been extraordinary. I wanted to go shopping along the street, but a dark cloud passed by and it started to rain, so I had to go back to the hotel to avoid the rain.

        We all know that in addition to being suitable for summer vacations and having pleasant mountains and rivers, Guiyang is also an out-and-out city of gourmet food. In the city, there is "a stall in ten steps, and a shop in a hundred steps". From a bowl of noodles in the morning to a bowl of porridge in the middle of the night, you may bring The stomach of 256G is not enough to eat. And we choose to live by the Nanming River, in addition to watching Jiaxiu Tower, visiting the night market and tasting delicious food at night is also an important factor. When the rain stopped and the temperature cooled down, we went out to look for food. The famous "Late Night Canteen" Qingyun Road Food Street in Guiyang is not far from the hotel we stayed in, so we went straight to the topic.

         Guiyang at night is more lively than in the daytime, full of bustling traffic, row upon row of shops, full of steaming human fireworks, which also reflects the vitality of a city. Tents are lined up on Qingyun Road at night, flashing neon lights, pots and bowls The sound of the collision of the ladle, the sizzling sound of the barbecue, the laughter of drinking and fisting, the smell of oily smoke... The most famous Zhou Jiliu grilled fish half the street is placed on their table, When we arrived, more than 200 tables were already full and waited for a number. The waiters were busy shuttling between the tables and ignored you. Looking at the situation, we had to choose another place. I saw that there was a house on Qingyun Road and Xingguan Road. Yushuiwan food court, business is also very good, there are vacant tables just facing the street, so hurry up and sit down, this restaurant serves fresh fish hot pot, the signature is sturgeon and ginseng fish, I have never eaten ginseng fish, so I decided to order ginseng Fish, go to the fish tank and order it now. It turns out that the ginseng fish is what we call black fish, but this shop does have its own characteristics. The live fish is sliced ​​into thin slices, which are thin and beautiful. The original fish soup is used as the bottom of the hot pot. The ingredients are not a little spicy, which is very suitable for our appetite. The ginseng fish meat is tight and delicious, and you only need to rinse it in the pot for a few times. , Anyway, according to our taste, it is far better than fish in sour soup. After eating the ginseng fish hot pot, continue to stroll in the night market street of Qingyun Road. The temptation of food is too strong. I went to eat Xinjiang lamb skewers and drank red Wusu beer. There are too many gourmet restaurants lined up. The delicious food is still waiting, but unfortunately we only have one stomach and can’t hold anything anymore, so we can only watch the delicious food leave Qingyun Road Night Market while drooling.

    Going back to the vicinity of the hotel, the Jiaxiu Tower under the night is brightly lit and reflected in the water, making it even more beautiful and seductive. Quickly picked up the tripod with a little drunkenness, and excitedly went to take pictures of the night view of Jiaxiu Tower. The Jiaxiu Tower at night is full of brilliance, and the water on the Nanming River is full of shadows. The combination of historical ancient buildings and modern lighting is the same as during the day. It's a completely different feeling.

2020-08-02. Guiyang Zhongshuge-International Ecological Exhibition Center-Qianlingshan Park-Shanghai

       In Guiyang, every morning starts with a bowl of noodles. Guizhou people are no less obsessed with eating noodles than those in Guangxi and Hunan next door. In Guizhou, a community downstairs may or may not have a restaurant. Restaurant, but there is absolutely no noodle shop, but for those of us in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we are really tired of eating noodle every day. Fortunately, today is our last day in Guizhou, and it will pass if we are not used to it. Feel free to find a small shop on the street where locals have breakfast, and start the last day of the trip after eating a bowl of noodles.

       Guiyang is the provincial capital of Guizhou, known as "Little Southwest Hong Kong". Due to the limited terrain, the streets in the old city of Guiyang are narrow and uneven, and often go up and down. Most of the crossings are underground passages, and there are few pedestrian bridges. It's very difficult, and parking is also difficult. We bought some Guizhou specialties in the Carrefour supermarket in the old city and quickly evacuated the old city. In the past few years, Guizhou's economy has developed greatly, and it has achieved world-renowned achievements in urban construction. In Guiyang's new city, Guanshanhu District, Financial City, etc., Guizhou's architecture against the sky is unreasonable and amazing, creating a A group of Internet celebrity buildings, today we will go to these places to check in.

       The first stop is the Zhongshuge Bookstore in Guiyang, which is located in the Guiyang Comprehensive Bonded Area of ​​Guanshanhu District and Yunfang Ark Smart Shopping Center. This bookstore has been rated as one of the "Top 10 Most Beautiful Bookstores in the World" by the American WIRED magazine. The design of the bookstore is integrated into the karst of Guizhou. Landform elements, such as mountains and rivers, karst caves, and totems of ethnic minorities constitute the characteristics of Zhongshuge in Guiyang. Walking into the bookstore is like entering a deep cave. The books hanging from the ceiling are like "stalactites" in the cave, and the whole portrait is in a time-space tunnel, full of sense of technology. The second stop is Building 201 of Guiyang International Conference Center, not far behind Yunfang Ark Smart Shopping Center. The 201 Building has a total height of 201 meters. It is currently the tallest all-steel structure building in Guizhou. Last year, it won the world record certification of "The World's Tallest Steel Truss Suspension Structure Building". It is another "crazy" building that people have to admire In the designer's mind, ten office units are suspended in the air 36 meters above the ground. It is a high-level 5A-level office building and is known as the "New Landmark of Guiyang City". And Guizhou Financial City is also here. As the corporate headquarters base of the financial industry in Guizhou Province, it brings together the province's banking, securities, insurance, guarantee and other financial industry enterprises. It is surrounded by towering super high buildings. It is unimaginable that this is in Guizhou, the most economically backward country in the past.

     Lunch was settled in the Ark Cloud Smart Shopping Center. The Ark Cloud Smart Shopping Center revolves around the theme of urban culture and leisure, integrating Guizhou cultural catering, cinemas, fashionable bars/restaurants and Smart Ying Fitness Center. There are a large number of high-income people in Guizhou. Gathering here, the consumption ability is naturally better than most customers, and the consumption is also diversified. Therefore, the food street here also brings together Chinese, Western and various delicacies. Today we also change our taste, eat Chaozhou cuisine, taste Quite authentic, the environment is also good.

       After lunch, we put the last stop of our Guizhou tour in Qianling Mountain Park in Guiyang. "You are in the city, and the beauty is in nature." It is Qianlingshan Park. This comprehensive urban park named after Qianlingshan, known as the first mountain in southern Guiyang, is located in the downtown area of ​​Guiyang. Lush, clear and lively, there are mountains and waters, temples and springs, and even a good place for small animals. It is a place for Guiyang citizens to relax and relax on weekdays, and it is also one of the places for tourists from other places to visit Guiyang.

        We returned to the old town of Guiyang, and the roads around Qianlingshan Park were blocked. Our car could only move slowly towards the park, and finally arrived at the park entrance. Parking was a big problem, and it took more than half an hour I finally parked the car in an hour, but there is not much time left for us to visit Qianlingshan Park. Today is another scorching hot day in Guiyang. The gate of Qianlingshan Park is crowded with tourists, and there are no more reservations to enter the park according to the agreed time. Today is August 2. The free ticket policy for Guizhou scenic spots has ended. Now Instead of a half-price ticket discount, the full price of the Qianlingshan Park ticket is only five yuan, which is really a conscience price. After buying the ticket to enter the park, there are too many tourists in the park, which is crowded and hot. Fortunately, I walked a little deeper into the park. The scenery began to be surrounded by mountains all the way. The surrounding trees were green, the river was pure, and the green eyes were refreshing. The heat just now subsided. Unfortunately, we dare not go inside anymore, because the flight time for our return flight is getting closer and closer. The closer it gets, the more we can only turn back. If you have enough time, Qianlingshan Park should be a good slow-paced place. It is both lively and quiet. You can just find a place to sit and daze, or you can go to the macaques in the mountains to make fun of it.

       Back at the airport, I returned the rented car and looked at the odometer. We have driven a total of 2,000 kilometers in ten days. Thanks to the rapid development of expressways, railways and bridges in Guizhou, this self-driving trip should be our most recent trip. It was a long-distance self-driving trip with stable road conditions, and it was also the most comfortable and relaxing time.

      The check-in and security checks were done smoothly, the flight took off on time, and I returned home safely. Affected by the epidemic this year, the cultural and tourism industry has been greatly affected. However, Guizhou's tourism industry seems to be recovering and rebounding. The number of tourists in several famous scenic spots It is almost full. It seems that Guizhou is becoming more and more popular with everyone. It is true that everyone can no longer look at Guizhou with old eyes. As the saying goes, latecomers come first. Guizhou’s development is beyond imagination, especially in the past few years. The rapid development of bridges has promoted the economic development of Guizhou. Guizhou accounts for half of the world's 100 bridges. Moreover, in China, Guizhou is currently the first province where expressways connect every county. The developed transportation connects the outside world and promotes the development of Guizhou. The open concept, the development of the economy, the great change of the society, the prosperity of the culture, the days when the sky is sunny, the land is flat, and the people are not three pennies have already become history. Due to traffic restrictions, Guizhou has many The natural scenery and historical relics are kept in the deep mountains and people don’t know them. Now that the natural moat has become open, more and more people come to Guizhou, and more and more people find that Guizhou is much more exciting than imagined. The largest and most contiguous karst ecological zone in the world, the natural bridge with the largest span in the world, are actually in Guizhou. There are 56 ethnic groups in China, 49 ethnic groups in Guizhou, the largest Miao village on earth, the largest and most The ancient Dong villages are all here. The truly colorful Guizhou is full of various styles, which makes people yearn for and linger. I think if I have the opportunity, I will definitely go to Guizhou again.
