A must-see guide to tourist attractions in Guizhou

Speaking of Guizhou, a picturesque tourist province, it is always summed up by the word "poor".

How poor is Guizhou? Once the latest province in China, it was the poorest province in China for a long time.

Its poverty lies in poor geography, poor education and poor transportation. As the only province without plains in China, agricultural production is extremely backward, and the special karst landform has created great problems for people, so they have to dig their brains to "cultivate land in the stone".

Traffic was blocked, children could not go out to school, and culture could not enter, which once broke the economic lifeline here. Even in the ice disaster in 2008, material transportation can only be resigned to fate.

However, after so many years, Guizhou, which knows the way of "you have to climb to the top quietly and then surprise everyone", has already been reborn.

When you only remember Moutai on the dining table and Huangguoshu Waterfall in The Journey to the West, you are secretly glad that you have never been to this "backcountry", while Guizhou, which is low-key, is "beautiful alone".

There is an old saying in Guizhou that "there is no Sanliping", which covers 9 1.2% of the mountainous area and is full of towering mountains. Wuling Mountain, Dalou Mountain, Wumeng Mountain and Laowang Mountain ... completely surround the whole of Guizhou.

However, human creativity cannot be underestimated. After several generations of efforts, Guizhou has built more than 20,000 towering bridges on the karst plateau, creating dozens of world firsts.

At present, among the top 100 Gao Qiao in the world, more than 80 are located in China, among which more than 40 are located in Guizhou.

Half of the 100 extra-large canyon bridges listed in China's expressway construction records are in Guizhou.

Bridges in Guizhou cover beam bridges, arch bridges, suspension bridges, cable-stayed bridges and other bridge structures, covering almost all bridge types in the world today, and are called "World Canyon Bridge Museum".

The first bridge of Beipanjiang River, located at the junction of Xuanwei, Yunnan and Shuicheng, Guizhou, spans Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and is famous at home and abroad for refreshing the world's first Gao Qiao record.

Yachi River Bridge on Guiqian Expressway, the expressway connecting Bijie City and Guiyang City in Guizhou Province, ranks fourth in the world, covering national tourist attractions such as Dongfeng Lake, Zhijin Cave and Baili Du Fu Gallery in Wujiang River.

The Baling River Bridge in Anshun is a high-speed passage connecting the east and west banks in Anshun, ranking 9th in the world.

The river-crossing passage in Xingyi City, Guizhou Province is located on the Maling River in the southwest of Guizhou Province, ranking 40th in the world.

Hezhang Bridge, located on Bijie-Weining Expressway, has the highest pier 1 1 of195m, which is known as the highest pier in Asia and ranks 73rd in the world.

Nowadays, walking on the Guizhou Plateau, bridges with different seats can be seen everywhere. Guizhou has made indelible contributions to China's title of "Infrastructure Madman".

Who doesn't want to appreciate a magnificent bridge-building miracle when coming here?

Guizhou is known as "China's karst province", with rich karst landform types, strange peaks and different forests and distinctive styles.

Xingyi Wan Fenglin is the largest cone-shaped karst peak forest museum in China. Nearly 20,000 peaks and clusters of peaks have sprung up in the quiet countryside. Even the traveler Xu Xiake once praised: "There are so many peaks in the world, and only here can the peaks become forests."

Fan Jingshan is located in the hilly area of northeast Guizhou, which is unique in the karst ocean.

This 65.438+0.5 billion-year-old masterpiece is like a city in the sky in the deep mountains. There is fog in the mountains, and there are mountains in the fog. It takes courage and hands to climb it.

The magic of nature lies in another exquisite miniature karst "bonsai".

The height of the stone forest is only tens of meters to tens of centimeters, and the small and exquisite shape is full of the aesthetic feeling of micro-carving art, creating a variety of stone forest landscapes.

The unique geological structure of karst landform will make water quickly penetrate into the ground, which will easily lead to surface drought and soil erosion, leaving only a "desert" with dense stones.

In order to "plant land in the stone", people should collect soil from crevices and gravel, and accumulate it into land where crops can be planted.

As a crop that can be deeply rooted in the land, tea tree just corresponds to the geographical conditions of high altitude, low latitude and humid climate in Guizhou, so it has found its own growth paradise.

The tea sea of Meitan ten thousand mu tea garden is rippling, lush tea trees are covered in cages all over the mountains, and industrious and busy tea farmers have planted green leaves and green hills in the karst plateau.

When picking tea in spring, they will stretch out two fingers, like scissors, to hold the two buds on the tea, and then put them in the bamboo basket on their backs.

The 7 million mu tea garden, which occupies the first planting area in China, has thus driven 452,000 poor people onto the road of green ecology to get rich.

Wujiang River, Nanpanjiang River, Beipanjiang River, Qingshuijiang River and Chishui River ... Hundreds of rivers in Guizhou Plateau have been eroded and cut, and eight major water systems crisscross.

The majestic and steep waterfalls between canyons are full of passion, outlining the landscape of karst waterfalls, among which the world-famous Huangguoshu Waterfall is a typical representative.

Maling River Gorge is the echo of the mountain range, and there are more than 100 waterfalls produced by the drop of nearly 80km, one after another, and the flying stream is surging, playing the swan song of the mountain range.

The beauty of karst landforms is not only in the magnificent mountains and rivers above the plateau, but also hidden in the unfathomable underground.

Tiankeng is a karst negative landform wonder formed by the continuous collapse of underground caves.

Located in Longjing Village, Dushan Town, Anlong County, Guizhou Province, Anlong Tiankeng is one of the most concentrated and typical karst landforms in China.

A sinkhole with a diameter of 50* 100 meters is like an elliptical giant shaft with a depth of 250 meters. There are cliffs on three sides. This cave is a natural garden with dense banana trees. Only a steep and winding narrow path in the northwest can lead directly to the sinkhole.

Pingtang Tiankeng Group is also surrounded by cliffs, with dense virgin forests, rich vegetation at the bottom and many rare animals and plants. Everything here is green.

The cave "The Creator bestows all the mysterious natural grace here" originated from the rich underground river under the karst landform. In the long years, stalactites, stalagmites and other withered Kun in the cave condensed.

Zhijin Cave, the king of karst caves, is a pearl in the underground karst world. Here, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone curtains, stone buds and bell flags are rich and colorful.

The cave in the sky in Libo is also colorful, just like a colorful art museum.

The cottages in ancient towns in Guizhou are all ethnic villages with traditional customs, just like ink paintings between poetry and painting.

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, located in Xijiang Town on the Baishui River in the northeast of Leizhou County, has a unique architectural style.

Wood-framed houses are not riveted by nails, but connected by tenons and mortises, forming a unique landscape of Miaozhai Diaojiao Building.

A patchwork of thousands of Miao villages

Today's Guizhou, whether it is culture or scenery, has exceeded our imagination.

Write it at the end
