Guiyang, why is it a landscape fantasy city?

It is generally believed that the name "Guiyang" means rainy and sunny.

Guiyang is a redefined "butterfly city". The resounding titles of "Forest City", "Cool Guiyang" and "Counting Valley in China" have refreshed people's understanding of it. They once thought it was backward, primitive and crude.

-0 1- Every mountain has a story.

Guiyang is located in the middle of Guizhou, surrounded by green hills. The whole city is built on a mountain. The city is in the mountains, and the mountains are in the city. When driving in Guiyang, there are often no roads, no tall buildings and no villages.

The karst terrain makes Guiyang closely intertwined with mountains and rivers, which is rare in the capital cities of China, just like a bonsai in the hands of God. As the provincial capital, Guiyang is a small city with a small population. However, the downtown area of Guiyang has a high population density, close to Kwun Tong, the most densely populated city in Hong Kong, and is called "Little Hong Kong". Since 1990s, the destructive urban construction in China has greatly changed the local context and life texture. "Guiyang is a city surrounded by mountains and waters. Unlike many cities on the plains, if the streets are gone, the city will die. As long as the landscape skeleton is still there, Guiyang can rely on it to realize the revival of the city. "

Guiyang is not only surrounded by mountains, but also many hills scattered or gathered in the urban area. "Every mountain has a story."

Follow the trend

Guizhou is a province rich in ancient human sites. Among the sites discovered at present, the Paleolithic Age is the largest, and the northern and western Guizhou and the central part where Guiyang is located are the densest, usually distributed along the river. The Neolithic age decreased, and it began to appear sporadically in Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

1282, the construction of "Shunyuan City" in Yuan Dynasty was the beginning of Guiyang's construction. There is an earthen wall in Shunyuan City, with an area of only one square kilometer, which is equivalent to a checkpoint. Guiyang as a city really developed in the Ming Dynasty. Previously, most of the descriptions about Guiyang were found in literature, and there were few physical objects. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were still a lot of physical evidence. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army pacified Yunnan and needed to pass through Guizhou, so it built a post road, stationed troops along the way and immigrated in large numbers. Because of its central location, Guiyang has become the hub of the post road, forming the embryonic form of Guiyang city. Since then, Guiyang and Guizhou have truly integrated into the mainstream of China history.

-03- The Taste of Life

Painter Dong Zhong wrote in his blog: "This is my city, Guiyang. All the people who live here are geniuses who eat Chili peppers. They are good at drinking and dare to eat anything. There are many delicious things and many delicious people; There are many idle people, but there are many idle people. The gloomy weather in this city can't stop people living here from being happy, shouting and venting. This city is full of damp, sticky eroticism and annoying delusions. "

Guiyang's sensory world squeezes spiritual life, but it has no effect on the fireworks of cultural people: the city is small and everyone is close; The circle is small, so writers, painters and scholars all know each other and support each other in the media, interdisciplinary and intergenerational. Especially in recent years, with the increasing consumer demand of bookstores, drama clubs and art education, there are remarkable samples in Guiyang, a seemingly sunny place.

The food in Guiyang is a collection from all directions, with authentic flavors from all over the country and local characteristics in the province.

The two best cuisines in Guiyang and even Guizhou are hot pot and dipping in water. The ingredients of hot pot are all-encompassing. The simplest chicken soup hot pot takes cooked chicken and boiled chicken soup as the base material, and various vegetables are added after the pot is boiled. A table is surrounded by people, and everyone is immersed in water. Common ingredients are green pepper, coriander, shallot, minced ginger and garlic, broken ears and fermented bean curd. Pepper powder, pepper, oil pepper and pickled pepper have different combinations. A dip in water often has more than a dozen seasonings, with different tastes, and street shops are unambiguous.

In the early morning of Guiyang, a bowl of red noodles came, and a bowl of fragrant and smelly noodle soup sprinkled with red oil was received from the window. A plate of hot and sour pickles specially made by various restaurants was filled and moved around and sat down. After snoring, I went my separate ways and really felt the atmosphere in Guiyang.

Qian Shan "time", to Guizhou, unique in the world, it is worth it.
