Yunnan's forgotten town, known as the plateau Small Guilin, is rare for high-speed rail direct tourists, and its scenery is beautiful.

The tourist attractions in Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province, have the beauty of the dam in front of them, and the eight treasures are caught in the middle, which is a bit embarrassing. Obviously, they are as beautiful as mountains and rivers, but their popularity is still not high. Except for a senior donkey like me, not many people really know.

The description of Babao is as follows:

"Babao Tourism consists of four areas, namely Babao, Kono, Tangna Cave and Sanla Waterfall, with a total area of 68 square kilometers. There are 25 rivers in Babao. The Babao River flows out of Hemei Lake and slowly flows from south to north. The river is clear and transparent. Especially the section from Kono to Bajia by boat, which is 6.5 kilometers long, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is known as the "Small Guilin" ... "

Babel, like Bamei, belongs to Guangnan County, but there is a more convenient line from Puzhehei to Babao, that is, take a 5-minute high-speed train and get off at Funing next door to Guangnan, and it only takes half a minute to get from Funing high-speed railway station to Babao. And if you go to Guangnan county first and then to Babao, it will take 2 hours by car.

it is estimated that there are very few tourists who have set foot in babao town. from many booking platforms, we can't find a hotel located in babao to prove this. So I got off the bus and dragged the box directly to find a hotel that I accidentally recommended in a travel book. The conditions are passable. After all, it is enough to be clean and safe in a rural town.

Next to the restaurant where you eat, there is the green Babel River. However, the young proprietress said that the water was not good because there was more rain recently.

Although it is in a township, the overall style of the hotel looks quite refreshing.

I ordered a water spinach, shredded green pepper, and hot and sour lotus root slices.

a side dish from the store. But looking at the color, I didn't dare to eat it. It must be very spicy!

Wenshan's lotus roots are all good, sweet and crisp, but this hot and sour lotus root slice is too spicy for me to eat, so I have to pour a bowl of water and rinse it before eating.

at dusk, go out for a walk.

Babel is very small. If it weren't for going to River Nomura, I don't think I would stop by here in my life. There is a cement road near the town and in the middle of the rice fields, which becomes a greenway for people to walk after meals. I'm going for a walk, too.

rice fields, sunset, hills. It is a typical landform in eastern Yunnan and most parts of Guangxi.

A modern wind and rain bridge spans the Babao River, which is a good place for people to enjoy the cool, rest and chat.

There are also paved roads along the river. It's not bad to see the scenery along the river.

there are green rice fields everywhere.

we open your window over garden and field.

grouted rice, vibrant fields.

It reminds me of Ubud, which is also a green rice field everywhere. Egrets are flying and driving motorcycles with my second brother. Every day, they roll over the endless rice fields and the hot air in Bali, and they are sun-dried into two mullets.

In the field, there are farmers working, and the small portable water pump is ringing, which is a rural scene that I have not been exposed to for many years.

a pair of little sisters squatting on the side of the road to play. When I asked them if I could take a picture for them, the two sisters stood up and made a gesture. In fact, I still think they are squatting on the ground, which is more life-like!

This is probably a small branch of the Babao River, with a drop. You can hear the rushing water from a distance, like a small waterfall.

as the sun goes down, there are more old people on the bridge. Walking in the distance, three or five groups of aunts live in the country, rich and peaceful.

wake up in the morning, open the curtains and see the scenery.

after breakfast, we went straight to Nomura.

At the bus stop in the town, I found a bun to go to Kono. The driver's master was from Nomura. He said, If we leave right away, just the two of us, then we'll give it 2 yuan. If we are willing to wait until the people are almost full, then we'll give it 5 yuan each. I said, can't you take people while walking? The driver said that you can't bring people in, but you can bring them out.

well, it's only 2 yuan anyway, so what are you waiting for? Let's go.

River Nomura is small and relatively original. There are no tourists in the village.

generally speaking, when you come here, you mainly charter a boat from the village and go all the way down to see the scenery on both sides. It takes about an hour to go back and forth.

Many houses are painted in different colors and look lively and bright.

There are also several inns in the village. If you like the exceptionally quiet rural scenery, it is not bad to stay for a day or two.

discuss the price with the boatman soon. 9 yuan, let's go.

I have been to Guilin and Yangshuo many times. Compared with the hatchbacks, there are indeed many similarities, but it is more primitive and quiet here. In the villages that pass by, people rarely hear voices. Probably, just like other rural areas, young people have all gone out to work!

according to the raiders, these passing villages are all Zhuang villages, but it seems that there are no obvious features.

The boat has a motor, but the boatman drives very slowly, so that we can have time to take pictures and see the scenery.

The water is very clear, and the water grass flutters on the river surface, and the water is bottomless, and wild ducks fly by, leaving a trail of water marks.

a tree covered with white hairs. What magical species is this? When the boat sailed past and looked down at the light, all the white colors miraculously disappeared, and I found that what was hanging on it was a spider web. However, it is very strange to be so dense.

It seems that there are a lot of fish in the river. From time to time, people fishing are seen sitting in boats or hiding in the shade, standing still like Mount Tai.

While the boat was sailing, the boatman explained the scenery on both sides to us. This is Guanyin Stone, very similar!

There are also people who drive cars specially to go fishing.

here is another fisherman. Is it true that as long as you are guarding the Babao River, you don't have to go shopping to buy meat dishes at home? ! How good it is to eat fish, high in protein and low in fat, healthy and delicious!

on the way back, I finally saw a cruise ship. At this time, it's almost eleven o'clock. The fact that there are so few tourists in Babel can be seen.

when we returned to Nomura, we still called the driver to see us off, and continued to see us out. The driver's master was really a sincere man who kept his word. On the return trip, 5 yuan was the only one who accepted us. On the way, people stopped the car from time to time, and his buns were quickly filled.

Originally, I wanted to go to Sanla Waterfall. As a result, when I asked, there was no bus and no private van like River Nomura. If I wanted to go, I could only spend at least 2 yuan on a chartered bus. Once again, the waterfall was in the mountains and I had to climb the mountain. Looking at the glistening sun, I quickly decided not to go.

Sigh, no wonder Babel's reputation is not obvious. The tourism industry here is still in an undeveloped state! But then again, when it's really developed, commercialization, rising consumption, tickets, etc., it's another unavoidable topic. It's an infinite loop and there's no solution for the time being.

But in any case, this wild "Small Guilin on the Plateau" left a very good impression on me.
