Self-driving travel guide to Qiannan and Southwest Guizhou

Southern Guizhou and southeastern Guizhou in Guizhou are large areas with ancient village characteristics. The regional cultural atmosphere is very rich, and the natural resources of mountains and water are extremely rich. You can have fun, and you can cash in a lot of energy by driving yourself. Here's a detailed strategy.

This self-driving tour itinerary is quite rich, so we adopt the method of tightening first and loosening later. So on the first day, we drove from Chishui in northern Guizhou to Libo County in southern Guizhou, a journey of about 580 kilometers. On the road, we focus on safety. We walked around and looked around. It was almost evening when we arrived in Libo County. Pack your bags at the hotel and go out to eat while exploring this tourist town.

It is said that Zhangjiang Classic Cultural Tour is a new product of Libo County half-day tour. Its starting point is Zhangjiang Music Square in Libo. After purchasing the ticket, you can take the "small train" to visit Libo street scene, ancient 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, and the World Natural Heritage Exhibition Park, and then Turn to Baiyan Buyi Village and take a bamboo raft down the river. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiang along the way until we are walking on the county road. We often see this kind of sightseeing car carrying passengers passing by. It is very unique, but it is better to savor Libo carefully.

Libo

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

Libo Ancient Town

This ancient town is still under expansion. What I felt deeply during this trip was that almost all scenic spots in Guizhou are being expanded. I wonder if there is such a big tourism market to fill.

Libo

Seven Small Arches

One of the most famous tourist cards of Libo and Guizhou Province is the Big The Seven Small Arch Scenic Area, especially the Seven Small Arch Scenic Area. The seven small arches are the same ticket, valid for 2 days. The Seven Small Archways is a mature attraction, beautiful and quiet, with all kinds of facilities in place.

We entered the seven small arches from the east gate, took the scenic sightseeing bus directly to the west gate, then visited the scenic spots in sequence, and finally returned to the east gate. This way you can go all the way downhill, which is more reasonable for your physical strength. There are sightseeing bus stops between attractions. At the end of August, there are not many tourists, so you don’t have to queue up to take the bus.

Libo Qixiao Arch Comprehensive Service Center

Qixiao Gong is known as Xiaojiuzhaigou, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Like blue. The elegant environment and fresh air will definitely make you feel relaxed and happy, and you can enjoy the wonder of letting yourself go in the scenic spot. The Seven Small Arch Ancient Bridge, Sixty-Eight Waterfalls, Water Forest, Cuigu Waterfall and Wolong Lake are must-see places. The above is the essence of Qixiao Arch Scenic Area, don’t miss it when passing by.

The name of the scenic area is Qi Xiao Arch Bridge, where Buyi elders work peacefully.

Libo Seven Little Arches Scenic Area

Due to schedule, Coupled with the lack of interest in the Daqikong Bridge Scenic Area, we decided to give up the Daqikong Bridge Scenic Area and rushed to Duyun City, the capital of Qianxinan Prefecture, on the same day. One principle of this trip is to stay as close as possible to the tourist attractions on the next day that night to facilitate entry

It is 168 kilometers from Qi Xiao Arch Gate to Duyun Hotel, and it is also evening when we arrive in Duyun City. Maybe because I don't live in a business district, I feel that there are no suitable restaurants around the hotel, but there is a scrapped steam locomotive outside a community that attracts attention.

In the Dragon

On the third day, visit Tianlong Tunbao and Daxingdong Tourism World. It is about 170 kilometers from Duyun Hotel to Tianlong Tunbao. On the highway, we saw an ancient building complex like an attraction on the side of the road, and there was a highway exit just in front of it. We immediately decided to make a temporary U-turn and take a look, so we came to Longli, a martial arts-themed town that was not part of the itinerary.

In the Dragon

Tianlong Tunbao

Tianlong Tunbao is the earliest and most famous Tunbao in Guizhou and is known as the living fossil of the Ming Dynasty. A unique Han group lives here - the Tunpu people. Because their ancestors are descendants of troops transferred from Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the cultural customs of the Ming Dynasty are still preserved. Here, you can see ancient stone houses and Japanese-style houses with a long history, Tunpu women wearing Fengyang Han costumes, and local opera performances known as "living fossils."

There are not many tourists, so you can bargain on the sightseeing bus. There is really nothing to see in the 2 kilometers from the entrance of the scenic spot to Tunpu. Taking a sightseeing bus is quick and energy-saving. On the streets near Tunpu, you can see elderly women wearing "Ming Dynasty Hanfu", which the tour bus driver calls their daily work, at home, while life in Tunpu is very simple and leisurely. People have become accustomed to the arrival of tourists, and everything they should do shows their truest side.

Daxing Tourism World

According to the online introduction, Daxingdong Tourism World is divided into ecological agriculture tourism base, ecological breeding base, exhibition and leisure vacation base, international performing arts base, international amusement base and other parks. But its structure is very grand and covers a large area, but its utilization rate is obviously very low. This time I mainly went to the amusement park because there are many exciting roller coasters and other large facilities. Now, here's what's called a "summer discount." Tickets are free, and each person only needs to purchase a 5 yuan insurance fee. At the same time, the people at the ticket office also said that there were very few facilities open today. When I walked in, I saw that there were very few open facilities, the large facilities were closed, the few children's facilities were far apart, and the attitude of the staff was not good. I walked around for a while and had to take a detour from the video game area when I left. I wonder if this is to show its size or something. This is also the only place on this trip that is not worth visiting.

Daxing Travel World

Jiuzhou Ancient Town

After staying in Anshun, we visited Jiuzhou Ancient Town on the fourth day. Located in the southeast of Anshun, 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 feel the rich history and culture and the leisurely life atmosphere. Walking along the old streets of the ancient town, tourists can visit the majestic Chenghuang Temple, an ancient building built by Emperor Qianlong with plaques and special funds. It's a good choice to feel its long history. You can also visit the courtyard house and learn the wisdom of ancient Chinese architecture.

Jiuzhou Ancient Town

Jiangnan

The old town of Jiuzhou is still being expanded, but parking here is very inconvenient and parking is prohibited everywhere. But some local residents will recommend you to park in some miscellaneous places, which of course are not free. According to the itinerary, today was supposed to be in Jiuzhou in the morning and Maling River Gorge in Xingyi in the afternoon. However, considering that time was tight and we saw a garden place on the way to Jiuzhou, I also checked it online. For a moment, there was a scenic spot called "Jiangnan in the Mountains" here before, so we adjusted our itinerary again. We went to "Jiangnan in the Mountains" this afternoon, and the Maling River Gorge was changed to tomorrow morning.

Lishan Tourism and Leisure Resort

Li Shan Tourism and Leisure Resort

Lishan Tourism and Leisure Resort

The buildings in Jiangnan are very grand and spacious, and the vacancy rate seems to be quite high. No idea how these investments will pay off. The overall feeling is like a wetland park, but with more artificial attractions and a larger area. Mountain flowers may be beautiful when they are in full bloom in the spring, but now they are just relaxing and nourishing your lungs. The rental of battery cars there is very expensive and the number is limited, so almost no one rents them.

Lishan Tourism and Leisure Resort

Xingyi City

It feels good to stay in an apartment hotel in Xingyi City, but the entrance to the parking lot is not easy to find. . Xingyi is the capital of Qianxinan Prefecture. This visit to Guizhou has subverted my view of ordinary cities in Guizhou, at least the urban areas of these cities. Modern, fashionable and commercially developed. I saw Beijing Hualian in Anshun and RT-Mart in Xingyi.

Maling River Canyon

The fifth day. The canyon is a deep rift valley during the orogeny, with waterfalls in the valley, green bamboo hanging upside down, connected caves, and ancient and famous trees dotted on both sides of the river. 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, the Iron Rope Bridge and the Shihai Bridge, connect the sightseeing trails on both sides of the bank into a ring. The elevator at the door was originally unusable, but considering the elderly and children traveling with us, we chose to save energy. The canyon is not difficult to walk, with steep cliffs and spectacular waterfalls coexisting. The tour route is well designed and can be completed in 2-3 hours without going back. Because this is where the events described in Han Hong's song "Daybreak" took place, I felt a little solemn.

Maling River Gorge

Wanfenglin

Wanfenglin Scenic Area is located in the south of Xingyi City. It consists of nearly 20,000 peaks and green mountains. It is one of the three major karst landforms in southwest China. The peaks are so dense and strange that they can be called China’s cone-shaped karst museum, and are among the five most beautiful peak forests in China. Xu Xiake described it as "the only place where the peaks become forests". Wanfeng Forest is divided into East Peak Forest and Xifeng Forest. The paid attractions currently open to the public are mainly in Wutun Town under the forest in Xifeng. Dongfeng Forest is undeveloped. In addition to the beautiful scenery, there are several Buyi villages such as Nahui, Lile and Yulong, where you can enjoy the rich Buyi customs and culture.

This is a very relaxing spot. The open sightseeing car will take you to all the attractions you can rely on in turn. The staff on the sightseeing bus also explained the characteristics of this attraction and how to view it. There is almost no need to walk the entire way. A carload of people stopped and stopped, took pictures and then moved on. After visiting the scenery on the top of the mountain, the sightseeing car will drive through the fields to experience the life of the Buyi people up close.

It was a magical place, with mountains and peaks, another Mapingchuan in the fields, and an idyllic and beautiful picture. A little strange. It seems that only sightseeing tickets are checked when entering here, but the tickets are never used. I feel like it’s okay not to buy a ticket. If you drive by yourself, you must guide to "Jiangjun Peak", otherwise you will be taken to the parking lot of Nahui Village.

Wanfenglin Scenic Area

Huangguoshu

Arrive at the hotel near Huangguoshu National Wetland Park that night. A street near the Wetland Park, at the entrance of Huangguoshu Scenic Area, is full of hotels and restaurants. If it’s not the peak season, you can come here and pick on the spot.

On the sixth day, we visited Huangguoshu Scenic Area for a whole day. Huangguoshu is not just a waterfall, but a large scenic spot. Huangguoshu Scenic Area is centered on Huangguoshu Waterfall and has several scenic spots such as Tianxing Bridge, Doupotang, Shitou Village, Huashi Shao, Lang Palace, Dishui Beach, and Baling River Canyon. Generally speaking, the most prominent attractions are the Great Falls, Tianxing Bridge and Steep Slope

We parked the car in the Jinghu parking lot, which is also the starting point of the sightseeing bus. Tickets and sightseeing tickets for Huangguoshu Scenic Area are all face cards. Tickets must be purchased online or at the scenic spot ticket center in advance. It is said online that the sightseeing ticket can only be used for three boardings. In fact, to be precise, you can only board the bus once for each scenic spot, because you have already visited the Great Falls, Tianxing Bridge, and Doupo Pond three times, but you still have to take the bus back to this gate in the end, right?

Huangguoshu

It is said that the best part of Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the second half, and tour groups will not go to the second half. We were well prepared for the whole process, but we didn’t expect that the second half would be blocked! In summer, the ticket price for residents from other provinces is halved, and the attractions are only half open? regret. Gao Laozhuang has completely turned into a shop, and no one can recognize that it has anything to do with "Journey to the West". Generally speaking, Huangguoshu Scenic Area, a 5A-level scenic spot, has many problems in route guidance, distance description, scenic area management, etc.

Zhijin Gorge

We did not enter Zhijin Gorge and stayed there that night A Hmong hotel near the entrance of the canyon. It is about 125 kilometers from Huangguoshu Scenic Area to here. Basically the hotel is managed by young people, probably from the Miao ethnic group. The decoration style of the hotel is also very ethnic. It doesn't have the atmosphere of a city hotel, but it gives people a feeling of traveling and vacation. Behind the hotel is a Miao village where you can take a stroll.

Zhida Grand Canyon

Zhirongdong

On the seventh day, the day we returned, we visited Zhijin Cave in the morning. "Returning from Huangshan Mountain, there is no cave outside Zhijin Cave." The scenic spot is composed of 11 kinds of geological relics, including karst cave ruins, karst canyon ruins, karst Tiansheng Bridge ruins, and karst tiankeng ruins. Together they form a plateau karst landscape with karst caves, canyons, Tiansheng Bridge, and tiankeng as the core. It is known as " The King of Chinese Cave".

I have been to other caves before. In comparison, Zhijin Cave is very spacious. The lighting decoration inside the cave is not so colorful, but it is full of natural beauty. Some places seem to be a wide hall, while the stalactites are as majestic and solemn as the pillars in a palace. There are many steps in the cave, and there are chairs in many places to rest. A flashlight is not required, but a jacket is required.

When entering the scenic spot, the staff will ask tourists to form a temporary group, that is, a group of people will be led by the scenic spot tour guide. But after entering, you can leave without a guide, making taking photos more free and convenient. There are explanation boards in the scenic area, so you don’t need a tour guide.

Zhijin Cave

At noon, we had lunch at a Guguanzhai Street next to the parking lot of the scenic spot, and then drove back to Sichuan in the afternoon, ending our seven-day tour of Guizhou. There are many places to visit in Guizhou, including Qiandongnan, the ancient city of Zhenyuan, Fanjing, Wumeng Prairie, and Baili Rhododendron, which are very close to Sichuan, but we will talk about them later.
