Qingyan Ancient Town

yyfzhsh

Qingyan Ancient Town is located in Huaxi District, Guiyang City. It is one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou. It is not far from the center of Guiyang City. The total area of the ancient town is not large. It was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. It is known as the "South Fortress" and "Building the South Gateway". It is a national tourist scenic spot. There are not many people, the main road in the ancient town is paved with bluestones, simple and elegant, and the alleys are deep and worth a visit.

Ye Lang Gu The Story of Stone

Anonymous User

It is a very interesting place, not very large in area, with stone bridges, stone walls, stone carvings, ancient castles, road steps, slate cottages, wood carving gardens, pottery gardens, bird gardens and other characteristic buildings scattered around, which are primitive, rugged and full of fun.

Tianhe Pool Scenic Area

铁甲小宝爱旅游

Tianhetan is so beautiful! As soon as I entered, I felt like I was in a fairyland. The water was very clear and the boat was floating on the water. It felt very leisurely. There are also those caves, the stalactites inside are strange and spectacular. Overall, Tianhetan is really worth a visit, playing in the water, watching the cave, especially comfortable!



The Jia Xiu Pavilion Heritage Landscape Area

铁甲小宝爱旅游

Jiaxiu Tower is so unique! When the lights are on at night, the whole building lights up, which is very beautiful. The structure of the building is also very delicate, and it can be seen that it has a sense of age. Walking around the building, it feels like time has slowed down. You must come to see Jiaxiu Tower when you come to Guiyang. It is definitely a highlight in the city and should not be missed!

Qianling Mountain Park
