Libo travel guide

Lianshan Bay in Libo has beautiful scenery, clear water and clear breeze, calm water surface, wide vision, green hills and villages scattered all over the bank, which is like an idyllic landscape poem and is called "Xanadu" by many tourists.

In May 2000, I went to Guizhou with Xiao Q and Chang Jiao. The whole process was designed by Xiao Q, A *** 12 days (April 28th-May 9th), covering almost all the places with unique national characteristics in Guizhou. It is very worth recommending to everyone.

Day 1: After the plane arrived in Guiyang, we immediately took a bus to Libo. It takes about 5 hours from Guiyang to Libo bus.

The next day: take a minibus from Libo to Qixiao archway. Because it was SARS. There are only three of us in the whole scenic spot. I feel very clean. The seven small arches have beautiful scenery. Most people go to Libo mainly to see the National Scenic Area of Seven Small Arches. In fact, there are many stockades of ethnic minorities around Libo, which is worth seeing. These stockades are not famous, so they can't be found in tourist materials. Our way is to jump on a minibus out of the city at random, and after a certain distance out of the city, see where the locals get off and follow. They will be happy to take you to their own stockade.

Libo recommended: Seven small archways scenic spots, Buyi villages and water villages.

On the third day: in the morning, we went to a Buyi stockade and an Anshui stockade in the mountains outside Libo. Buyi stockade is called Balan Village (see attached map for hiking map). When you get off the expressway, you have to cross Zhangjiang and walk a long way. Passing through a small village, I met an old lady shouting, "How could the government let you out? ! "At that time, everyone feared for himself, and a few local people instinctively hated all outsiders. This is normal.

In the afternoon, we went to an aquarium called Shuiyao Village. There, a fellow villager kindly invited us to his house for lunch. I don't want to eat for free, but I want to give money and I am rejected. Fellow villagers also recommend turning over a Yao village from the front mountain, which is very innovative. According to his instructions, we decided to go in and have a look. However, after walking in the deserted mountains for more than two hours, there is still no sign of Yaozhai. Look at the sun going down, so we have to turn around.

Remarks: Village names are recorded according to the pronunciation of fellow villagers. Whether it is these two words is unknown.

Day 4: First take a bus from Libo to Duyun. Then transfer to Kaili. Stay in Kaili that night. I almost lived on the street in Kaili. All the hotels heard that we were from Shanghai and wouldn't let us stay. Because local people think that Shanghai, like Beijing, belongs to the hardest hit area of SARS. Of course, we finally found an inn to take us in.

Day 5: From Kaili to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. Stay in Xijiang that night. I was on a business trip in Guizhou before the Spring Festival this year, so I went back to see Miao Village because I missed it. See the travel notes of Xijiang, Zhenyuan and Qingyan on my previous blog for details.

Xijiang Recommended: Qianhu Miao Village

Day 6: From Xijiang to Leishan. From Leishan to the famous Langde Shangzhai. There is no through train to Langde Shangzhai. You need to take a bus between Xijiang and Leishan. Remember to ask the driver to remind you to get off. It's still about half an hour's journey from the drop-off point to the stockade. At that time, on the way into the stockade, I met an elderly Beijing tourist who came out of the stockade. He originally traveled to Hunan. Because of SARS, I couldn't go back to Beijing, so I played all the way to Guizhou. As soon as I entered the stockade, my fellow villagers heard that they were tourists from Beijing. I couldn't help being surprised and blurted out, "Aren't all Beijingers dead?" When the old man mentioned it, the four of us laughed loudly on the road.

When rumors spread everywhere, how far away from the truth!

Langde Shangzhai is also a Miao village. The scale is much smaller than that of thousands of Miao villages. But it is unique. The buildings in the village are well-shaped, and all kinds of city gates, wind and rain bridges and Lusheng fields have a long history and can only be seen along the way. It is worth seeing. It is said that tickets are required to enter the village now.

Day 7: From Leishan to Rongjiang. Su rongjiang Chejiangdong Village is just outside Rongjiang County. (See the attached map for the hiking map) Just cross the river. Chejiangdong Village is lined up along Liujiang River, with a total length of 15km. The riverside is a wide public trail built by the ancients. Huge ancient banyan trees grow along the river. Walking under the old banyan tree in the scorching sun, I think of the ancestors' saying that predecessors planted trees and future generations enjoyed the cool. There are three in the village (two? A beautiful drum tower. Most of the young and middle-aged people in the village work in other places. Coupled with the ban on population movement during SARS, the village looked empty. Now I'm afraid it's another scene.

Take a minibus from Chejiangdong Village and go all the way (far from Rongjiang County) to another Dong village-Fengdeng. This is a good place to listen to Dong people's big songs. Fengdeng is not on the side of the road. After getting off, you need to walk all the way down between the two mountains. The stockade is in a valley. Or because of SARS, the village is sparsely populated and there are no tourists for a long time. I was just about to regret not hearing the Dong people's big songs. Several little girls spontaneously organized a performance for us, and the harmony was wonderful.

A little boy recommended that there is a beautiful wind and rain bridge in the mountains and volunteered to lead the way. All the way, about an hour later, I came to Dang Village again. Stay in Zhadang for a while, and then go in. I'm a little worried because I'm getting farther and farther away from the road. I'm afraid I'll miss the minibus back to the city. It's too late. After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at a village called Gaza. There is a beautiful wind and rain bridge at the entrance to the village. (see the picture below). The stockade is very small and shabby. If you are afraid of hiking, you can only go to Fengdeng. I sent some pencils and notebooks to the little boy to say goodbye to him.

Recommended by Rongjiang: Chejiang Dongzhai, Fengdeng, Dangdang and Gaza.

Day 8: Rongjiang to Congjiang. Su Congjiang. Take a minibus to Basha. Basha is famous for the uniqueness of the local Miao people. This is the only place in the country where private guns are allowed. Basha Miao people have a tough style, and all adult men have shotguns and swords. The government banned guns several times, which triggered resistance. Finally, the government had to make concessions. Men shave their heads on their foreheads and leave a bun at the back, which is a bit antique. However, from the information we have seen so far, the folk activities in the stockade have become pure performances.

I couldn't wait for the bus from Basha back to the city, so I decided to walk back to the city. Until the scorching sun. Three people almost passed out on the seven-kilometer mountain road.

Day 9 and Day 10: From Jiang to Zhaoxing. Su Zhaoxing. Zhaoxing Dong Village is famous for its ancient wind and rain bridge and Drum Tower. There are as many as five Drum Towers in the village. Lusheng field is also beautiful.

Zhaoxing recommended: Zhaoxing Dong Village

Day 1 1 day: the border between Zhaoxing and Guangxi. It is far from Guiyang and close to Guilin. So we bought a plane from Guilin to Shanghai. However, the situation was tense at that time, and the inter-provincial shuttle bus had stopped. After we took a minibus from Zhaoxing to the terraced fields at the junction of the two provinces, we couldn't move forward. No car. Three people can only walk about ten miles of mountain roads and enter Guangxi.

Walking out of the mountain and seeing the road, the three of them shouted. However, some people set up inspection posts at intersections, which can't help but make people's hearts sink. Finally, I saw a passing bus and was allowed to get on after taking my temperature. It feels like running away. Bus to Sanjiang, Guangxi. Stay in Sanjiang that night.
