The night view is beautiful, but it is a crowded place on the rocky rock of Nanming River. It is an iconic building in Guiyang. It was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and has witnessed the historical changes of Guiyang after more than 400 years of wind and rain. Jiaxiu Building is a three-story three-story four-corner spire loft, unique structure, red carving windows, paintings, white stone giant pillars, very beautiful. Fuyu Bridge such as Bailong Wobo, the scenery on both sides of the Straits and Jiaxiu Building in series, forming a beautiful scenery. There are also "Chengnan Shengji" archway, Hanbi Pavilion and other attractions. Humanities and natural landscape complement each other. At night, the lights are on, and Jiaxiu Building is full of glory, showing the beauty of the blend of tradition and modernity, making people intoxicated.
Jiaxiu Tower, as a landmark building in Guiyang, is like a bright pearl, inlaid on the Nanming River, shining brightly, attracting countless tourists to come and watch.
Jiaxiu Tower was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. It has experienced the baptism of time, witnessed the historical changes of Guiyang, and carries rich cultural connotations. Looking from a distance, Jiaxiu Tower has flying eaves and corners, carved beams and painted buildings, which complement the surrounding natural landscape and form a picturesque beauty.
Approaching Jiaxiu Tower, the first thing that comes into view is the Fuyu Bridge downstairs. The bridge is like a long rainbow lying on the waves, spanning the Nanming River. The bridge body is made of white stone, and the bridge railings are carved with flowers and grass, simple and elegant. Walking on the bridge, the river breeze blows on your face, which makes you feel relaxed and happy. The river water under the bridge is leisurely and sparkling, fish are playing in the water, and water plants are swaying with the waves, full of vitality and vitality.
After crossing the Fuyu Bridge, we arrived in front of Jiaxiu Tower. Jiaxiu Tower is a three-story, three-eave, four-corner, pointed-roof attic, about 20 meters high. The top of the building is a treasure roof, with a gourd-shaped copper treasure roof on the top, shining golden light in the sun. The building has red beams and green tiles, exquisite carvings, delicate carvings on the doors and windows, and lifelike patterns. There are many poems and couplets left by celebrities and scholars in the building, among which the long couplet written by Liu Yushan in the Qing Dynasty is the most famous. This couplet is 174 characters long. The upper couplet describes the beautiful scenery of Jiaxiu Tower, and the lower couplet expresses the historical changes of Guizhou.

You can go directly without the ropeway. It is not far away. The road is not steep. Don’t easy to tease the monkey brother. It’s easy to be caught. There is an aunt selling peanut corn to feed the monkey. You can bring a little bit of it yourself.
Qiilingshan Park and the zoo together, all scan the code for free to enter the park. There are many people in the park, and many people dance square dance to play fitness ball. The monkeys in the park are very famous and can be seen everywhere on the road. Yesterday, I heard that the monkeys in Qilingshan Park would grab food and water, and I didn't dare to walk into the monkeys. I saw someone feeding the monkey in front of a bathroom. The monkey was very gentle and didn't see the grab. I also fed the monkey. When the monkey saw the security guard coming, he was scared away. When we went to a store to rest, we saw a monkey grab a woman's whole bag of bread, climb into the tree, unpack the plastic bag and take only one bread, and then throw the other bread away. There are still a lot of animals in the zoo, and three peacocks are seen opening the screen. There are other birds, bears, lions, tigers, pythons, alligators, etc. No wonder so many people come to Qianlingshan Park.

The following is a review of Guiyang Happy World:
Rides are plentiful

• Anime theme projects are interesting: World of Warcraft, Space Odyssey, Wonderland Shuttle and other anime theme amusement facilities bring tourists into a world full of fantasy and imagination, suitable for children and tourists who like anime.
Wonderful park activities
• Rich festival activities: Special events will be held during festivals such as the Spring Festival, such as the New Year Fireworks and Lantern Festival, the Ancient Costume Qimeng Float Parade, the Drone Starry Sky Show, the Colorful Auspicious Cloud Fireworks Show, etc., as well as folk performances such as Sichuan Opera Face Changing, Lion Dance, and Martial Arts Competition to Win a Marriage, as well as high-value NPCs interacting with tourists for photos.
• Good daily atmosphere: There are also some special activities on a daily basis, such as staff wearing cosplay costumes in the park, adding to the joyful atmosphere.
Convenient transportation
• Convenient public transportation: There are many bus lines that go directly or stop nearby, such as Baiyun No. 11, No. 29, No. 232, No. 230, No. 233, etc., and you can also take the subway and transfer to the bus to arrive.
• Convenient self-driving: Whether it is from Guiyang North Station, Guiyang East Station or Longdongbao International Airport, there are clear driving route instructions, and the park has a parking lot.
The supporting facilities are relatively complete
• Diverse catering: There are multiple catering spots in the park, providing a variety of food options such as happy barbecue, Chinese food, Western food, fast food, etc., and you can also bring some snacks and drinks with you.
• Convenient shopping: There are souvenir shops and toy shops for tourists to buy souvenirs and toys.
However, Guiyang Happy World also has some minor shortcomings, such as the relatively high prices of catering in the park, and some popular projects may have longer queues during holidays.
It is worth booking tickets in advance, there are few people and almost no queues. You can finish the fun in half a day and easily master all the projects. It is recommended to go directly to the top of the mountain to ride the roller coaster first, then go down from the top, and finally end with the hanging roller coaster.
