National Day Tour of Zhenyuan Kaili, Guizhou

I've been thinking about the difference between traveling and traveling. Which one do I belong to? Later, it was discovered that it should belong to the former. The meaning of traveling is to experience life. Many unexpected encounters on the journey make you discover that there are many beautiful things in life. Living in a farmhouse inn, tasting authentic ethnic food and feeling the unique ethnic customs are beyond your experience. Because of the National Day holiday, the royal donkey friend Feng Sao flew abroad alone, leaving a lonely brother Feng, so we made an appointment to have a girlfriend's trip, haha! This trip is a bit casual, there is basically no strategy, but it is full of adventures. At first, all the important things were recovered, but in the end, I was scared by a plate of big fat. Thank you for your meticulous care! Hey, gay again! Since this is our first time, I was a little worried at first about the perseverance of people who never like shopping. Later, the fact that Brother Feng used iron proved how worried I was! Due to limited funds and avoiding the crowded first-line scenic spots, Zhenyuan and Kaili, which are close to Qiandongnan Prefecture, were chosen this time. CCTV advertisements have also helped me a lot, and it feels good to read other people's travel notes online. As for the latter, let me explain!

I wanted to buy a round-trip ticket and book accommodation in every place before I left, but it was too hot this golden week, so I only bought a train ticket and didn't even have a hard seat when I came back. The standard room in the inn usually costs tens of dollars a night, but now it costs more than 3 yuan. Shit, it's more expensive than Lijiang, so I stopped booking in a rage. Let's talk about it when I get there. Anyway, it doesn't matter much if two big men sleep on the street! After 16 hours of train tossing, we finally arrived at Zhenyuan, the first stop, at 8 am on the 2nd. It's sunny, but a little cold. Brother Feng arrived an hour earlier than me, and I basically understood the terrain near the railway station. After meeting, we immediately went to buy a train ticket to Kaili on the 4 th, but I felt in my pocket. Where is my ID car? It's over, lost! I am not in the mood to play this trip at the thought of not being able to buy a train ticket and go home. Fortunately, I calmly thought about it. I should have left it on the train, so I went to the platform and asked the waiter to call Guiyang Railway Station to check. Sure enough! It will be delivered there in two hours. Hey, this 2B youth has done a lot of good things! So we started a pleasant leisure trip with the map and Brother Feng.

Zhenyuan is a small town surrounded by valleys with a history of more than 1 years. All the houses are built on the banks of Wuyang River. The antique diaojiao building contrasts with the background of the mountains, forming a beautiful reflection in the green Wuyang River under the sunlight. All this is too aggressive to the eyeball! This town is only a few square kilometers, which can basically be measured by feet. If you stroll along the ring road, it is a bustling market, which is no different from ordinary rural markets. There are no buses and motorcycles here, so you can only take a taxi in and out. 3 yuan, a local, 5 yuan, a tourist, can go anywhere. And even if there are already passengers in the car, you can carpool as long as you park on the side of the road. Fares are calculated on a per capita basis. Go downhill along the ring road and you will reach Wuyang River. The willows are fluttering, and the water plants in the river are clearly visible. The women washed vegetables and washed clothes by the river and chatted cheerfully. Men sit on the shore smoking cigarettes and quietly stare at the fishing rods in the water to harvest at any time. Children sit in groups of three and five in rubber canoes and play in the river. Even the flirting couples on the balcony of the diaojiao building on the other side have become the corner of this landscape. There are not many tourists at this time. Walking along the river path will make you feel the unique tranquility of the town. The cats and dogs here seem to be used to the shuttle of tourists. It is so natural and comfortable to sleep in the middle of the road in the sun. It's really good to feel the harmony between man and nature on holiday here. We haven't forgotten anything serious. Let's go shopping and ask the roadside inn. The area near the railway station is not very good, but it is full. It seems that many people have made reservations in advance. Not long after, we went to an inn near Qinglong Cave and asked for a big bed room, asking for 28 yuan. We looked at each other silently and got the message. We talked to the boss, and it was done at 26. Let's put down our luggage and enjoy ourselves. Yes

we didn't have lunch until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. We wanted to eat the local famous fish in sour soup, but the innkeeper recommended us to eat ducks. Ok, let's try it! There is a long food street by the river where we live. It was very lively when eating, so I found a long table restaurant with the largest number of people and the most Miao characteristics. We ordered three courses at random and were a little disappointed when we arrived at the table. The portion is very small and spicy, but the tourist attractions are all like this. Wolf down! This small place is not cheap. General diners 5 yuan.

In the afternoon, continue your leisure trip, and walk all the way along Qinglong Cave to the pedestrian street. Qinglong Cave is a Taoist building with a history of hundreds of years, built on a small mountain. Arrived at the door, saw the ticket 6 yuan, and immediately turned the corner. China people, don't be too cheating! At this time, the number of tourists gradually increased, and the beautiful sunset on Qinglong Bridge attracted many tourists to stop. The pedestrian street, which was originally limited to walking, became lively and crowded during the Golden Week on the premise of high-speed free! After crossing Qinglong Bridge, you reach the pedestrian street on the other side. Looking back at the pier, this Qinglong Cave is quite imposing. Press the shutter! Basically, the pedestrian street sells specialties, restaurants, inns and the like. There are also Zhenyuan Museum, Lujia Courtyard, Fire Temple and other cultural attractions, all of which are free. They are backed by Shiping Mountain, which has an ancient city wall overlooking the ancient town. Tickets are 3.

before you know it, it's 8 pm. It is the knockout match of Etihad at Evergrande's home. We want to find a place to eat and watch the live broadcast. Hey, people here don't seem to like sports very much! The night view here is still good, so the inns here are all over 4, which is really not worth it! Because there are too many people in the restaurant here, we decided to go back to the food street on the other side to realize our sour soup fish! Remember to look for Chongqing sour soup fish at the foot of Xinqiao. The price is cheaper than others, and it tastes good. Add another vegetable! It's past 1 o'clock after a big meal. The excitement of the town has not stopped. There are flashlights everywhere. Seeing the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait, Brother Feng asked me to go to a small bar with a lot of emotional appeal to find an affair, drink a little wine, listen to live music and feel the slow life in the town. Life is enough in this case! As for the result of the matter, hee hee, I believe brother Feng's handsome appearance, so let's not talk about it! I returned to the inn at 12 o'clock and found the boss waiting for us to close. Hey, sorry!

since we basically visited the whole town on the first day, we plan to go sightseeing the next day. It's a pity that the weather didn't make us beautiful. When we got up early in the morning, God changed yesterday's beautiful face, and it rained lightly, and it was cold. Hey! Let's go to Shiping Mountain as planned! When I went to the ticket office, I asked that the whole journey up the mountain would take about an hour. I want to spend the day in such a short time. Fortunately, there is also an ecological park in Tiexi, which is 9 kilometers' walk. Tickets to 5 yuan and a taxi to 7 yuan. Compared with the 3 yuan of Shiping Mountain, it's too valuable! In order to save money, we decided to eat only powder at noon and have a big meal at night. After dinner, we go to Tiexi to wash our lungs!

actually, it's not 9 kilometers down, and there is a bridge in the middle that won't let you in. In fact, it's about 5 kilometers, but the air is really good (except for the roadside barbecue stalls, which pollute the air very much). However, if it is sunny, the scenery is first-class and the stream is crystal clear. Brother Feng plays with water every time he comes to the stream, but it doesn't work, no more than three times! Chatting with Brother Feng while walking, telling the feelings of life, not tired after jumping 5 kilometers! So a good donkey friend is the key to a successful trip! Thanks again to Brother Feng and Comrade Pony for their mooncakes!

I will come back from Tiexi at about 3: 3, and it's still early. We walked into the local residential old street along the square lane of the pedestrian street, experienced the feeling of being surrounded by historical buildings and got the local flavor! Along the stone steps, we went to many family courtyards with hundreds of years of history, including Fu's. Most of them have been opened into inns, but the style inside is well preserved. We walked, unconsciously, and came to a paradise. When we turned around, our vision suddenly became clear. So we walked into Shiping Mountain, haha! It turns out that this 3 yuan is so lame! Unfortunately, because of the smog around, the whole town can't see clearly. Just take some pictures and come here to have a look! Brother Feng, do you still remember the message on the post of the observation deck? Too many, haha

Because of the rain, all the food stalls in the riverside food street were closed, so we found a pig-killing shop with good reputation on the edge of the ring road near the inn. Although it is relatively simple, the food is really delicious. The two tables next to them are Cantonese, and there are villagers everywhere. Under the influence of the atmosphere, we also asked the boss for half a catty of our own brewed rice wine, and sent distant wedding wishes to Brother Huan and Sister Jing! Guizhou is a big wine-producing province, and every household can make their own wine, which is very fragrant, easy to enter and not expensive. After a good meal, I went back to the inn to pack my bags and rest. I look forward to Qianmiao Village in Kaili tomorrow!

I got up early the next day, but God spared us. Suzhou, Yu Yan was once pitted, and now it is the same pit in Guizhou, Yu Yan. I arrived at the railway station more than an hour late, so sleepy and tired! There is also a strong taste of "Jiangnan style" along the way, my God! To tell the truth, I really haven't heard any modern songs on this trip to Guizhou. The streets are filled with songs from Mao Ning and Xu Huaiyu in the 198s and 199s, reflecting the buildings and residents' clothes on both sides of the street. It's amazing! It takes an hour and a half by train to Kaili, a few kilometers to the passenger station, and then a long-distance bus to Qianhu Miao Village. What a hurry! At this time, the unfortunate thing happened again. When our car reached the mountain road, we found that there was a long line in front of us and we couldn't move. It's almost 3 o'clock at this time. Brother Feng watched many netizens on his mobile phone and said that he couldn't find a sofa to sleep anywhere in Kaili the day before, so he had to spend it in an Internet cafe. Shit! No, we haven't found it yet I wonder if this car will be blocked until dark! Fortunately, we must be pointed out by an expert. We said that the billboard in front would take another 2 minutes to arrive, so we put oil on the soles of our shoes and continued on our way. The air outside is much more comfortable than in the car, but walking is getting more and more wrong. After walking for a kilometer, we found a sign that said it was 4 kilometers away from Qianhu Miao Village. My god, this expert is so cheating! But to be honest, it's right to walk, because the bus is far from our destination, and the steamed sweet potatoes on the roadside are also delicious. This is a specialty (there is no specialty in Guizhou, it is all peanut candy). Along the way, there will be local villagers who say they can take us into the scenic spot, each in 4 yuan. If you want to pay 1 yuan to buy your own ticket, let's look for it at the door. But when we got to the door, we found 5 yuan, but well, it was 5% off. I thought they would have some special access. Who knows that he told us to climb over the railing, and someone was watching. If we catch it, we will be fined, but he says it's okay. Everyone in that state knows. I thought it would be over if I caught you and didn't accept me! We resolutely refused to obey. Seeing that none of us were businessmen, he turned and left, but a miracle happened at this moment. The person under surveillance has been kidnapped. It's time to wait! Haha, so is the ticket for 1 yuan. Simple farmers get rich overnight and everything goes out of shape! You have to take a 5-yuan bus to the stockade after entering the door. Lijiang people only charge the maintenance fee for the ancient city of 8 yuan, which is not mandatory. After 8 tickets are collected in Pudacuo National Forest Park, all tour buses are free. This stingy stockade!

After walking to the gate of the stockade, there was a bustling scene with a lot of people. As the name implies, a thousand Miao villages are stockades with a thousand Miao families. These houses are built on the mountain, nestled in the arms surrounded by a valley, and the clear stream spans several wind and rain bridges with Miao characteristics in the middle. At this time, the rain stopped and the fog began to disperse. The first thing we have to do when we go in is to find an inn, and there is one next to the gate. Cheaper than Zhenyuan. As soon as we listened, we were relieved. There must be many more in the stockade. Don't worry. In fact, many local farmers' homes are open to tourists. You can ask the roadside vendors or cleaning aunts. It is easy for local people to recognize it, because all the women are dressed in Miao costumes. We just asked a cleaning aunt to find her relatives' viewing room. The location is super good, 1 yuan a bed, we have made a decision, but this is a triple room. The boss insisted that we pay for an empty bed, but we refused anyway and had to give up. However, God often closes a door, but there is a door waiting for you on the opposite side. When we left, we strolled on the road and saw a room with a room today. By the way, that's also 1 beds. We told the boss that we would stay for two nights. But the conditions are similar, and the bed is just for sleeping. It should be noted here that the houses in this stockade are almost all made of wood, so the bathroom and bath are common, and there is no TV in the room. If you want to be like a hotel, you can have it, but the price is more than 5.

after I put down my luggage, I started strolling again! A thousand households seem to be a lot, but the stockade is not big, but it is quite imposing from the observation deck. There are terraced fields beside the stockade. It's time to cook dinner before you know it. You see, the smoke from cooking on the roofs of several families on the mountain is curling up, which is very idyllic. There will be a Miao song and dance performance in the square at 5 pm every day during the Golden Week, but we have no time to go in. Forget it, let's watch it tomorrow! At this time, it began to rain again. Let's go to the pedestrian street! This pedestrian street is smaller than Zhenyuan, and it was completed in less than an hour. We will stay here for two days in all souvenir shops. If we finish shopping so soon, how will we spend the rest of our lives?

I didn't want to eat until 7 o'clock. The specialties here are Wang Miao fish, braised pork and chicken porridge. Because it is a meal, most restaurants are full of people, and some have to wait in line. You can ask the waiter for the menu, have a look and compare the prices. Although every restaurant is similar, there are still some cost-effective ones. The Tongfulou, which we discovered later, is good. It is a Wang Miao fish in 48 yuan. You can bring your own drinks and the environment is elegant. The key is that the waiters are all pretty! So we chose to eat in this restaurant for two days, and the boss actually gave us a' discount'! We can't eat without wine these days. Brother Feng can drink too much, so he has to drink every cup. My brother was defeated!

after coming out of the hotel, the rain stopped. We went for a walk on the observation deck. Before I came, I heard from netizens that the night scene here was very shocking. Maybe my expectations are too high. It feels worse than the night view of Zhenyuan, that is, the star lighting effect caused by hanging two light bulbs under the eaves of every household on two hills. The failure is that the color of light bulbs is not uniform, some are yellow and some are white, and the effect will be better if they are replaced by red lanterns. After learning shooting skills from Brother Feng, I slowly strolled back to the inn. I wanted to have a good sleep after washing, but the nightmare began. Because this house is made of wood, everyone will' knock' when they pass by, just like an earthquake. In addition, KTV on Yufeng Bridge sings until 1 am every night, which sounds dazzling in the valley. There is a barbecue stall at 1: 3, and there is a fight. It's really lively! I finally slept until 6 o'clock, and everyone who checked out got up and cleaned up. The whole inn, adults and children, like a tsunami, don't want to sleep anymore. This hellhole swears to come only once! I didn't get up until 1: 3. Seeing the man with an umbrella outside the window, I knew that Brother Feng's shoes would suffer again today.

When I got up too early, I went to Brother Feng's to try chicken porridge and was deceived by curiosity. It's just chicken porridge, which is worse than chicken porridge in Guangdong. But I ate for two days in a row, and the second time I was forced. Hey! Today's activities continue to travel and see the pastoral scenery along the steps of the stockade. This Miao village is immature, and there is not even a brand at the key intersection. You must take the main road, many paths are broken, and the public toilets have to accept 1 yuan/time.
