Guizhou self-driving travel guide in 2017

Guizhou has a very pleasant and distinctive identity. It is partly located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and has a very unique geographical climate. There are many mountains here, and the mountains and rivers are full of aura. The people here are hardworking and courageous, and they are among the best in the country. They have left their mark in various places. Let me share with you the 2017 Guizhou self-driving travel guide.

I originally made an appointment with a friend to drive to Tibet, but I was always afraid of a sudden court hearing. As a result, the last court hearing before the holiday was on 9.27 in Wuhan Intermediate Court, so I set off on 9.28, but my destination became Guizhou.

Departing in the morning of 9.28, a new Buick 7-seater commercial vehicle carried 5 people. Since I had court meetings in Beijing on September 25 and Wuhan on September 27, I had no idea where I was going by car this time. Only when I got in the car did I realize that the destination was Libo, Guizhou!

On the first day I drove to Chongqing, I ended up in the suburbs of Chongqing. When it comes to accommodation, the hotel is very simple, not even as good as a fast hotel; but I really don’t care about accommodation when traveling, even if I live in a car or a tent, it doesn’t matter.

When I left the next day, I followed the car navigation and got off the expressway to Guiyang. I had no choice but to eat something in Guiyang and then set off for Libo. On the streets of Guiyang, there are many people selling fruits on their shoulders. Some of the fruits are unknown. The same urban management officials are driving people away everywhere.

When I went to Libo County, Guizhou in the evening, I didn’t find any express hotels such as Hanting 7 Days Home Inn Jinjiang Star, including Zhenyuan Ancient City, Xijiang Miao Village, Weining Caohai and other places. No. Do you know the reason?

We stayed in a theme hotel in Libo County. There is no parking lot and one of the rooms has no windows. Most hotels are like this! Breakfast in Guizhou is basically all kinds of noodles, whatever you want. There are basically no fried dough sticks, porridge and pickles!

I saw some comments saying: In fact, the most beautiful scenery in Guizhou is not Huangguoshu Waterfall, but Xiaoqikong in Libo. ?

This is the gate of Xiaoqikong Scenic Area

This is the origin of Xiaoqikong

Behind me is Xiaoqikong Bridge

Xiaoqikong Scenic Area is known as the sapphire left in the world. It is mainly water and aquatic forests caused by karst landforms.

Because there was no holiday when I arrived in Libo, there were not many people, and I could still take some pictures.

After coming out of Libo, I decided to go to Jiabang Rice Terraces. The road to Jiabang Rice Terraces is difficult to walk, and you have to go through the mountains and ridges along County Road 882. Because the road is difficult to walk, people who recommend going there are also uneasy, fearing that if the scenery is not good, it will be bad.

Jiabang Rice Terraces is located in Jiabang Township, Congjiang County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou. It is a relatively remote place. We saw some terraced fields on the road, which were not that good, but when we arrived at the core of Jiabang Rice Terraces, I felt very good. I also met a photography enthusiast who had been photographing Jiabang Rice Terraces for ten years. Many of the photos he took were hung in hotels by the roadside. Hall, as a means of attracting business, so I also took some photos in the same area where the master took photos. Take a look:

It feels very good to be surrounded by mountains and embraced by greenery

I like this terraced field and the feeling of being surrounded by green

This kind of natural and cultural landscape is more harmonious and lovely

The master also taught us some shooting tips: The composition follows the tic-tac-toe pattern, with one third each of heaven, earth, and people.

No wonder my wife always complains that I don’t know how to take photos!

But in the same location, everyone agrees that the photos I took are vastly different from the photos taken by the master! I think the difference lies in two points: 1. Tools It's incomparable

The master drives a Land Rover and carries a long gun worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but I use a mobile phone; 2. The master has beautiful models by his side, which can inspire me. ?

The next attraction was the Zhenyuan Ancient City. I have always been interested in ancient cities: Dangjia Village in Hancheng, Shaanxi, and Li Family Courtyard in Wanrong, Shanxi are both very impressive, but Zhenyuan Ancient City feels a bit like Shaanxi. Yuanjia Village in Xianyang is a street of restaurants and bars:

I didn’t find it well sung

Does this text have a sense of ancient vicissitudes

I never found it Understand what the egg under the red flag means

The resident singer has a certain temperament with this beauty

It seems that this place can have the meaning of an ancient town

My wife has been to Lijiang Ancient Town Like Zhouzhuang, the business model here is similar and the style of the ancient city has been lost. At least Dangjia Village requires a tour guide to fully understand it. You can just wander around here.

After visiting Zhenyuan, we temporarily added another scenic spot: Yuntai Mountain. This Yuntai Mountain is much less famous than the Yuntai Mountain in Henan. It is located in Leishan County, Guizhou. It is actually a 4A-level scenic spot! But the hardware facilities and services are not suitable: the roads are not as good as county roads, and some places are being widened. Maybe next year, the scenic spot There were so few people there that even the shuttle bus was not running.

The standing solitary mountain

The natural landscape is very good

The next stop is Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. I have been there once before, in a hurry I was too busy to take a closer look. I want to take a closer look this time. On the way, we stopped by to see two Dong villages: Zhanli and Xiaohuang Village.

Zhan Li actually claimed to be the originator of Chinese fertility culture.

Zhanli is actually named after two brothers

Zhanli Dong Village is relatively primitive. There are no B&B hotels or decent farmhouses, so there are relatively few tourists. , there are not even 50 people including us.

Xiaohuang Village is different. First of all, the village is relatively large, with nearly 6,000 people, so it can hold a chorus of thousands of people. Secondly, it is relatively famous, and CCTV reported it once. ?

It would be easier to publicize if there is a brand

The representative Xiaohuang Drum Tower, but there is no drum

I hope everyone will stay for food and accommodation

Passing by is just passing by, and the right spot is Xijiang Qiangu Miao Village! This is also the scenic spot where we encountered the most people during the National Day. It was already evening when we arrived, and the queue of cars was already slowly moving before we reached the scenic spot. The hotel we booked is inside the scenic spot, so we have to buy a ticket to enter. The ticket and commuter bus are 120 yuan.

After entering, contact the hotel staff. It is relatively easy to find, but the conditions are relatively poor: it is a so-called stilted building, and the door does not close tightly. Walking upstairs outside the door, the whole building feels a bit wobbly!

It’s evening, so let’s go to the observation deck to watch the night view. There are so many people that I can’t find a place, so I just raised my phone and took a photo:?

Anyway, I’m looking at it. It’s quite spectacular

Everyone can find their childhood dreams and memories in this small mountain town

There are many literary and artistic young people who play tambourine, and it is not impossible to meet a romantic encounter

Isn’t this night view very tempting?

The next morning, we left the main road and went to the real Miao village. ?

There are many exquisite bars away from the street, but almost none of these bars are owned by Miao people. When I was walking around, I also met two older Miao people. He asked for money! He said his family was very poor! I think people who owned shops must have given it away, and the tickets and other things collected by the scenic spots probably wouldn’t be distributed to the poor.

The last stop was also added temporarily, and we had to drive from the east to Weining in the west to see Caohai. We thought Caohai was just a large expanse of grass, but it is actually a freshwater lake. The largest freshwater lake in Guizhou, with an altitude of more than 2,300 meters, is known as the three highest freshwater lakes in the country. Qinghai Lake

There is something else I forgot about Caohai.

In order to get back to Dazhou City the next day, I rushed to Caohai Town overnight, and it was already twelve o'clock when we arrived.

In order to watch the sunrise, everyone got up at 5.30 and rushed to the Xihai Pier at 6 o'clock. No one was seen and it felt wrong. After a dozen people heard that they were watching the sunrise at the God Temple, they searched for navigation and asked people to arrive at the God Temple, which is a bit high. I went to the temple, but found that something was wrong again, so I asked someone again, and the answer was: I can’t see the sunrise today because it’s cloudy and there’s no sun! I feel dizzy.

Driving to the Jiangjiawan Pier where there is a boat, it was not even 8:30, and the scenic spot didn’t start work until 9:00. It is said to be a scenic spot, but there is not even a gate. If you don't want to take a boat, you don't need to buy a ticket to see it. You need to charter a boat, no matter how many people there are, it costs 360 yuan, and you need to support it manually with poles. You have to return 2 kilometers away from the shore!

I heard from the boatman that the sea of ??grass is now smaller, and the birds are no longer there. If you don’t have one, you have to buy their own boat just like a taxi, and you will be charged for sitting on the ground in the scenic spot! Caohai is probably the most difficult journey, and the scenery is the worst!

Finally found a gray crane

The photographer asked for poss

During the National Day trip to Guizhou, fortunately, I did not go to crowded scenic spots (except Xijiang Miao Village). Several niche scenic spots felt good, especially the temporary ones. The terraced fields are absolutely great value, but the most tiring Caohai is the worst. It’s a strange logic
