Self-driving travel guide to Qiannan and Southwest Guizhou, Guizhou

Guizhou Qiannan and Qiandongnan is a large area with ancient village characteristics. The regional cultural atmosphere is very rich, and the mountains and waters are extremely rich in natural resources. Everyone can have fun and play, and you can withdraw money by driving. Everyone has a lot of power, and I will share with you a detailed strategy below.

The itinerary of this self-driving tour is relatively rich. We adopted the method of tightening first and then relaxing on the driving road, so on the first day we drove from Chishui City in the northern end of Guizhou to Libo, Qiannan Prefecture in the south. County, the journey is about 580 kilometers, with safety as the main priority during the journey. We walked around and had a look. It was almost evening when we arrived in Libo County. Put your luggage in the hotel, go out for food, and explore this tourist county.

It is said that the Zhangjiang Classic Cultural Tour is an emerging product for half-day tours in Libo County. It starts from Zhangjiang Lefang, Libo. After purchasing the ticket, you can take a "small train" to visit Libo street scenes, thousand-year-old banyan trees, The former residence of Deng Enming, the main founder of the Communist Party of China, Yongji Spring in the Qing Dynasty, Libo Ancient Town, Guantang Bridge, World Natural Heritage Exhibition Park to Baiyan Buyi Village, then turn to the waterway and take a bamboo raft down the river, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way The scenery of Zhangjiang River continues until you return to the starting point and dock. When we were walking on the county road, we often saw this kind of sightseeing vehicles passing by, which is very unique. However, if we want to appreciate Libo carefully, it is better to wait and see.

Libo

Zhangjiang does not feel wide, more like a river. Libo Ancient Town is not to be missed. It has a very ethnic flavor and is very lively at night.

Libo Ancient Town

The ancient town is still expanding. One thing I deeply felt during this trip is that almost all tourist attractions in Guizhou are expanding. I wonder if there can be such a large tourism market to fill it. .

Libo

Xiaoqikong

A major tourist business card of Libo and even Guizhou Province is the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area , especially Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. The big and small seven holes are the same ticket, and the ticket is valid for 2 days. Xiaoqikong is beautiful and quiet. It is a mature scenic spot with all facilities in place.

We entered Xiaoqikong from the east gate, took the sightseeing bus in the scenic area directly to the west gate, then visited each scenic spot in turn, and finally returned to the east gate. This way we can go downhill all the way, which is good for our physical strength. It is more reasonable. There are sightseeing buses connecting each scenic spot one by one. At the end of August, there are not too many tourists, so there is no need to queue up for the bus.

Libo Xiaoqikong Comprehensive Service Center

Xiaoqikong is known as Xiaojiuzhaigou, with beautiful mountains and clear waters as blue as blue. , the elegant environment and fresh air will definitely make you relaxed and happy, and enjoy the wonderland of letting yourself go in the scenic area. Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge, 68-level waterfall, water forest, Cuigu Waterfall, and Wolong Pool are must-sees. Land, these are the essence of Xiaoqikong Scenic Area, you can’t miss it when passing by.

Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area

Due to our itinerary and not having much interest in the Daqikong scenic area, we decided to abandon Daqikong and rush to southwest Guizhou on the same day. The state capital is Duyun City. One of the principles of this itinerary is to try to be as close as possible to the tourist spots of the next day that night so that you can enter the scenic spots early the next day. There are some streets with ethnic characteristics outside the scenic area. For those of us who have been working hard for a day and are in a hurry, we have no intention of lingering and drive directly.

Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area

Duyun City

It is 168 kilometers from Xiaoqikong to Duyun Hotel. It was also evening when we arrived in Duyun City. Perhaps because we did not live in a business district, we felt that there were no suitable restaurants around the hotel, but there is a community. There is a scrapped steam locomotive outside which is very eye-catching.

Longli

On the third day, we visited Tianlong Tunbao and Daxingdong Tourism World. From Duyun Hotel to Tianlong Tunbao, it is about 170 kilometers. On the highway, we saw a group of ancient buildings that looked like a scenic spot on the side of the road. There was a highway exit right in front of us. We immediately decided to turn over and take a look. So we came to a martial arts-themed town that was not planned in the itinerary - Longli.

Longli

Tianlong Tunbao

Tianlong Tun The fort is the earliest and most famous one developed in Guizhou. It is known as the living fossil of Ming Dynasty history. The Tunpu people, a unique Han ethnic group, live here. Since the Tunpu people's ancestors are descendants of the soldiers who were stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, they still retain the cultural customs of the Ming Dynasty. Here you can see ancient slate houses and Japanese-style houses with a long history, Tunpu women wearing "Fengyang Han costumes", and performances of folk dramas known as "living fossils".

There are not many tourists, so you can negotiate the price of the sightseeing bus. The 2-kilometer road from the scenic spot gate to Tunpu is really not interesting. Taking the sightseeing bus is quick and saves energy. On the street near Tunpu, you can see elderly women wearing what the tour bus driver called "Ming Dynasty Hanfu" working daily in front of their homes. However, life in Tunpu is very simple and leisurely. People have become accustomed to the arrival of tourists. Do what you should do, showing the truest side.

Tianlong Tunbao

Daxingdong Tourism World

The online introduction said that Daxingdong Tourism World is divided into multiple parks such as ecological agriculture sightseeing base, ecological breeding base, conference and exhibition leisure and vacation base, international performing arts base, and international amusement base. But it is actually very exaggerated. It covers a large area, but the utilization rate is obviously very low. We mainly went to the amusement park this time because there are many exciting roller coasters and other large facilities. There is a so-called "summer promotion" going on here. Tickets are free, and each person only needs to purchase a 5 yuan insurance fee. At the same time, the person at the ticket office also said that there are very few facilities open today.

When I walked in, I saw that there were not many open facilities. All the large facilities were closed. The few children's facilities were far away from each other and the attitude of the staff was not good. After Bai walked around for a while, he had to take a detour from the electronic game area when leaving. I don’t know if this was to show how big it was or something. This is also the only place not worth visiting on this trip.

Daxingdong Tourism World

Jiuzhou Ancient Town

After staying in Anshun City, we visited Jiuzhou Ancient Town on the fourth day. The ancient town is located in the southeast of Anshun City. The streets of the ancient town are laid out according to the Yin Yang and Five Elements. There are many ancient temples, courtyards, ancient post roads and other cultural relics in the city. Here you can experience the rich history and culture and the leisurely life atmosphere. Walking in the ancient streets of the ancient town, tourists can visit the magnificent Chenghuang Temple. This is an ancient building built with a plaque written by Emperor Qianlong and allocated special funds. It is a good choice to feel its long historical atmosphere. You can also go to the Siheyuan to observe and learn about the wisdom of ancient Chinese architecture.

Jiuzhou Ancient Town

山里江南

Jiuzhou Ancient Town is still under expansion, but parking here is very inconvenient and parking is prohibited everywhere. However, some local residents will recommend you to park in some miscellaneous areas, which of course is not free. According to the itinerary, today was supposed to be in Jiuzhou in the morning and the Maling River Gorge in Xingyi City in the afternoon. However, considering the tight schedule, and on the way to Jiuzhou, we saw a garden-type place beside the highway. I also checked it online before. There is a scenic spot called "Shanli Jiangnan" here, so we adjusted our itinerary again. We will visit "Shanli Jiangnan" this afternoon, and the Maling River Canyon will be changed to tomorrow morning.

Shanli Jiangnan Tourism and Leisure Resort

The buildings in Shanli Jiangnan are very grand and spacious. I feel that the idle rate is quite high. I wonder how these investments will be repaid. The overall feeling here is that it is a wetland park, but it has more man-made attractions and covers a larger area. It may be beautiful when the mountain flowers are in full bloom in spring, but now it seems that it is just for leisure and nourishing the lungs. The rental of battery cars there is very expensive and only for a limited time, so almost no one rents it.

Shanli Jiangnan Tourism and Leisure Resort

Xingyi City

Xingyi City lives in an apartment hotel, which feels good, but the entrance to the parking lot is not very good. try to find. Xingyi City is the capital of Qianxinan Prefecture. Coming to Guizhou this time has subverted my views on ordinary cities in Guizhou Province, at least on the urban areas of these cities. Modern and stylish, the business is also relatively developed. I saw Beijing Hualian in Anshun and RT-Mart in Xingyi.

Maling River Canyon

The fifth day. The canyon is a large water fissure that was cut deeply during the orogeny. There are waterfalls flowing in the canyon, bamboos hanging upside down, and caves connected. Ancient and famous trees on both sides of the canyon are dotted in various shapes. It is known as "a beautiful scar on the earth." ". There are many waterfalls in the canyon, and hundreds of waterfalls of different shapes form the famous Maling River Falls Group. The two bridges on the river, the Cable Bridge and the Sea Lion Bridge, connect the tourist trails on both sides of the river into a ring. You don't need to take the elevator at the entrance, but considering the elderly and children traveling with you, you still choose to save energy. The canyon is not difficult to walk, with steep cliffs and spectacular waterfalls coexisting. The tour route is well designed and there is almost no need to go back. It can be completed in 2-3 hours. Because this is the place where the incident narrated in Han Hong's song "Daybreak" took place, the mood was a little solemn.

Maling River Gorge

Wanfenglin

Wanfenglin Scenic Area is located in the south of Xingyi City. It consists of nearly 20,000 strange peaks and green mountains. It is one of the three major karst landforms in southwest China. The peak forest is so dense and unique that it can be called China's cone-shaped karst museum. It ranks among the five most beautiful peak forests in China. Xu Xiake described it as "the only place where the peaks become a forest." Wanfeng Forest is divided into East and West Peak Forests. The paid scenic spots currently open to the public are mainly located in Wutun Town under Xifeng Forest, while East Peak Forest has not been developed. In addition to the beautiful scenery, there are also several Buyi villages such as Nahui, Leli, and Yulong, where you can appreciate the rich Buyi customs and culture.

This is a very relaxing scenic spot. The open sightseeing car will take you to various viewing spots in turn. The staff on the sightseeing car will also explain the characteristics and viewing methods of the scenic spots. There was almost no need to walk during the whole journey. A car full of people sat and stopped, took pictures and then moved on. After admiring the scenery at the top of the mountain, the sightseeing bus will drive between the fields to experience the life of the Buyi people up close. This is a magical place.

The mountains are like peaks, and the fields are like flat rivers. It is an idyllic and beautiful picture. One thing is strange. It seems that only sightseeing tickets are checked when entering here, but the tickets are never used. I feel that it is okay not to buy tickets. If you are driving by yourself, the navigation must lead to "Jiangjun Peak", otherwise it will take you to the parking lot of Nahui Village.

Wanfenglin Scenic Area

Huangguoshu

Arrive at the hotel near Huangguoshu National Wetland Park that night. The street near the Wetland Park and the entrance to Huangguoshu Scenic Area are full of various hotels and restaurants. If it is not the peak season, you can come here to choose from.

On the sixth day, we visited Huangguoshu Scenic Area for a full day. Huangguoshu is not just a waterfall, but a large scenic spot. Huangguoshu Scenic Area is centered on Huangguoshu Waterfall and includes several major scenic spots such as Tianxing Bridge, Doupotang, Shitou Village, Huashishao, Langgong, Dishuitan, and Baling River Canyon.

Generally, the most outstanding ones are the Great Falls, Tianxing Bridge and Doupotang Scenic Area.

We parked the car at the Jinghu parking lot, which is also the starting point of the scenic sightseeing bus. Tickets and sightseeing tickets for Huangguoshu Scenic Area all require facial recognition cards, so tickets must be purchased online or at the scenic area ticketing center in advance. It is said online that the sightseeing ticket can only be entered three times. In fact, to be precise, it should be that each scenic spot can only be entered once, because the waterfall, Tianxing Bridge and Doupotang scenic spots have been entered three times, but in the end you have to take the bus back. Isn't this the gate?

Huangguoshu

It is said that the best part of Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the second half, and they also say that tourist groups will not go to the second half. Yes, we were well prepared to walk the entire journey, but we didn’t expect that the second half was closed! During the summer, the ticket price for residents from other provinces is halved, and the scenic spots are only half open? What a pity. That Gao Laozhuang has completely become a store, and no one can recognize what it has to do with "Journey to the West". In general, Huangguoshu Scenic Area, a 5A scenic spot, has many problems in route guidance, distance instructions, and scenic area management.

Zhijin Gorge

We did not enter the Zhijin Canyon, but stayed at a Miao hotel near the gate of the canyon that night. It is about 125 kilometers from Huangguoshu Scenic Area to here. The hotel is basically run and managed by young people, maybe from the Miao ethnic group. The decoration style of the hotel is also very ethnic. It doesn't have the atmosphere of an urban hotel, but it gives people the atmosphere of a tourist vacation. Behind the hotel is a Miao village, where you can take a stroll.

Zhijin Grand Canyon

Zhijin Cave

On the seventh day, we will return and visit Zhijin Cave in the morning. "There are no mountains to see when returning from Huangshan, and there is no cave outside Zhijin Cave." The scenic area consists of 11 types of geological relics, including karst cave ruins, karst canyon ruins, karst natural bridge ruins, and karst tiankeng ruins, which together form a complex of caves, canyons, The plateau karst landscape with Tiansheng Bridge and Tiankeng as its core is known as the "King of Chinese Caves".

I have been to other caves before. In comparison, Zhijin Cave is very large. The lighting decoration in the cave is not so colorful, but it is full of natural beauty. Some places look like a wide hall, and the stalactites are as majestic as the pillars in a palace. There are many stairs in the cave, and chairs are placed in many places for rest. A flashlight is not really needed, but a jacket is necessary. When entering the scenic spot, the staff will ask tourists to form a temporary group, that is, they must form a group before being led in by the scenic spot tour guide. However, after entering, you can go without the tour guide. This way you are more free and convenient for taking pictures. There are explanation signs in the scenic spot. , it’s okay if you don’t want a tour guide.

Zhijin Cave

Have lunch at an ancient Guanzhai street next to the parking lot of the scenic spot, and drive back to Sichuan in the afternoon to end the seven-day tour of Guizhou. There are many places to visit in Guizhou, such as Qiandongnan, Zhenyuan Ancient City, Fanjing Mountain, including Wumeng Prairie and Baili Rhododendron, which are closer to Sichuan, etc., all of which will be discussed in the future.
