Walking in this former royal palace, you will deeply understand the profound cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. 3. Jiuzhaigou: After returning from Jiuzhaigou, you will not look at water, and after returning from the Five Mountains, you will not look at mountains. The lakes, waterfalls, and colorful forests of Jiuzhaigou make people feel like they are in a fairyland on earth. 4. Changbai Mountain: You must bring your loved one here, the whole Tianchi and water monsters are confessing to you. In winter, Changbai Mountain is covered with snow, like a beautiful painting. 5. Libo Xiaoqikong: The emerald left by God in the world. It combines the mountains and waters of Zhangjiajie and Jiuzhaigou, which is very beautiful. 6. Wuyuan: Half mountain mist and half mountain yellow, better than the living paradise on earth. The rural scenery of Wuyuan is simple and elegant, intoxicating. 7.

May Day holiday is over, we avoided the peak travel season and signed up for a group tour to Guizhou that we had been longing for on Ctrip. Some experiences: 1. The cheap air tickets booked on Ctrip, the outbound flight of 9 Yuan Airlines was delayed for three hours, and we arrived at the hotel after 11 pm. The return flight of West Air was delayed for more than an hour, and we arrived home at almost 1 am. The seats could only be at a right angle, which was uncomfortable for me with protruding intervertebral discs, neither standing nor sitting. 2. Very tired! Average of over 20,000 steps per day, mostly climbing mountains! The first day at Huangguoshu Waterfall was okay, the waterfall was quite magnificent, but we, in our seventies, were deterred by the Water Curtain Cave. The second day at Fanjing Mountain, it was cloudy at the foot of the mountain and raining on the mountain. After hearing from young people who came down from the mountain with strong bodies, "I didn't see anything!" we took the cable car back without hesitation. None of the people who continued to climb the mountain reached the summit, and most of them returned disappointed after reaching the Mushroom Stone. They regretted it and were fortunate for their foresight. 😄 (It is said that there are 300 days a year when you can't see the scenery). In the morning of the third day, we visited the ancient town of Zhenyuan, which left a good impression. There were few people, it had history and heritage, and the commercial atmosphere was not too strong. No need to climb mountains, suitable for the elderly. In the afternoon, Qianhu Miao Village had too strong a commercial atmosphere, and the commercial street was full of humanistic landscapes created for tourism. There were photo studios everywhere renting Miao costumes for taking pictures. We experienced the long table banquet and had a good time. The night view was lively, suitable for young people. On the fourth day, we visited the Seven Small Arches, with the small arches as the main attraction. It was indeed a bit like what the tour guide said: looking up to Zhangjiajie, looking down to Jiuzhaigou, and enjoying the pleasant scenery of small Guizhou in the middle. Guizhou Province is not small, but Jiuzhaigou is more magnificent and colorful. If you can't go to Jiuzhaigou, go to Seven Small Arches. 3. The accommodation was okay, especially for the first three days. Qianhu Miao Village was the worst, with a slight smell of sewage, and we could still hear people talking in the corridor at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night. I don't know if it's because the room faces the corridor and has bad feng shui. 4. There are many Guizhou snacks, some of which are delicious, such as the pie with meat filling. Some people like to eat sausage and intestine noodles, but most of them don't suit their taste, especially the folded ear root, which is absolutely delicious for Guizhou people. 4. Our tour guide was quite responsible and attentive, and the young driver's service attitude was funny and cute. I have selected a few photos of Seven Small Arches and Zhenyuan Ancient City. In short, avoid the peak travel season for tourist attractions!

Libo Xiaoqikong, the emerald of the Earth

A cloudy day in Xiaoqikong is still beautiful enough. I plan to visit before the peak season and prepare for another trip in the summer. Then, I'll try some water activities. It's recommended to take the sightseeing bus directly from the East Gate to Wolongtan and then tour downstream in order, which saves time and effort. For accommodation, choose somewhere near the East Gate. This time I stayed at Huashijian Homestay, which was quite nice. It's a 3-minute walk to the East Gate, and the car can be parked right in front of the homestay. The free breakfast is plentiful, and the wontons are delicious. The owner is from Northeast China and is very enthusiastic and considerate, with excellent service and cleanliness. I will stay here again in the summer with my child. Yaoshan Ancient Village does not have performances every day during the off-season, so it's advised to inquire in advance before going. The Daqikong boat tour is worth taking, and it only takes 1-2 hours to complete the tour.

The mysterious "Eastern Indian" in the ancient village of Guizhou deep mountains|

|In 2024, I didn't expect to see such an ancient village in the deep mountains of Libo, Guizhou. It's not commercialized, primitive and simple, it's really amazing! -Yaoshan Ancient Village High-speed Rail to "Libo" station, a 20-minute taxi ride will get you there. - Bai Jingting and Xie Tingfeng have both come to check in. It's only 5 kilometers away from Libo Xiaoqikong, which is the main settlement of the White Pants Yao. The natural village is well preserved and is known as the "Eastern Indian", preserving the ancient matriarchal clan system. Yao folk customs are fully displayed here. Men wear "white pants", women wear "two pieces of Yao". Villagers in traditional Yao costumes can be seen everywhere in the ancient village. During some special festivals, Yao compatriots will welcome guests with the highest etiquette of "gun firing" and "door-blocking wine". - In the ancient village, you can also see the iconic historical buildings and warehouses. It is supported by four pillars, with wooden boards on the upper layer and a round grain warehouse below. The round warehouse is supported by four wooden pillars at equal distances at the bottom, separated by pottery jars in the middle, which can prevent rats and keep it airy and prevent grain from getting damp and moldy. Under the warehouse is a good place for Yao children to play, women to work and chat. - You can experience Yao embroidery, handmade pottery, and Yao sticky paste dyeing during your visit. Intangible cultural heritage visit: Top Workshop, Sticky Paste Workshop, Medicine Cooking Workshop. Large-scale live performances and bonfire parties by Yao people in Yaoshan, including Fire Gun Dance, Monkey Drum Dance, Bronze Drum Dance, Fire Dance Yaoshan. - About accommodation, friends who like quiet can stay here for two days. This time, we stayed at the "Yaochi Xiaoqikong Homestay" in Yaoshan Ancient Village. If you have nothing to do, you can boil tea around the stove in the countryside and drink tea with friends. The floor-to-ceiling glass in the room allows you to see the strangely shaped rolling hills not far away. The clouds and mist in the early morning are like a fairyland. The room also has a large bath, where you can directly experience one of the three major bathing cultures in the world, Yao bath. The ingredients are Yao medicine made by the medicine cooking shop. It's really comfortable to take a bath while enjoying the view outside the window.

The ancient Yao village in Guizhou

I went there with a playful and nonchalant attitude, and later bought a package of performance + long table banquet, but there was no surprise, especially the long table banquet is not recommended for everyone to try, it's super hard to eat! If you want to watch the performance, you can go and feel the atmosphere! The surprise of the ancient village lies in the culture and heritage of the Yao village. We specifically called a local guide to chat and stroll with us. As the guide explained the customs and history of the Yao people, it deeply attracted our group. Suggestion: Spend 1 or 2 hours to find a guide to explain and stroll around, after the tour, you can find a local restaurant in the scenic area to eat, and then go to the mountain Yao residence to stroll around, to deeply understand the local Yao people's living environment and so on, and finally watch the performance to end

Taking parents to experience a different world

After visiting Xiaoqikong, among Yaoshan Ancient Village and Libo Ancient Town, we chose Libo Ancient Town. The architecture is quite unique, but it's mostly restaurants, a bit too commercialized. We stayed at Guiyuan Inn, which was relatively clean, but the stairs were too high. There's a tree at the entrance with beautiful blossoms. It was quite noisy at night, the air conditioner was loud, and the frogs downstairs were also loud. For someone like me who is particular about my sleeping environment and already has poor sleep, it didn't feel like much of a visit. We had a bean rice hot pot, which tasted okay. We ordered the 88 yuan couple's meal, the beef was delicious. The boss was nice and even gave us a pack of tea, which tasted good. But there's no need to make a special trip here, it's okay if you're just passing by.

Libo Seven Small Holes in Guizhou, it's stunningly beautiful

Small Seven Holes is really super beautiful!! Maybe it was the right season when I went there, the blue-green water makes people feel particularly good!! There are also many waterfalls along the way.
