Guizhou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

You should visit Guizhou at least once, and experience the day and night of the Qianhu Miao Village!!

It turns out that the off-season is the correct way to visit the Qianhu Miao Village of Xijiang❗️||🏠Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village 🚗About transportation: Take the high-speed rail to Kaili South Station! ❗️There is a bus ticket office on the left side of the high-speed rail station: 18/person (but there is a timetable, it seems to be one and a half hours) ❗️If the departure time is close to the departure time, then I strongly recommend taking the bus! There is really no need to take a black car, the bus can directly send to the west gate or north gate, both gates will stop - 🚪About which door to enter: Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village has two gates, west gate and north gate I sincerely recommend going in and out of the north gate Because the west gate must go through a commercial street that lasts for seven or eight minutes, The commercial street is really really very⬇️ Head If you are dragging a suitcase, it is even more difficult - 🚌About sightseeing car: After entering the scenic area, you have to take a sightseeing car to enter the village I can only say that the money that should be spent still has to be spent - 🏘️About accommodation: Accommodation is not recommended! The best view is with a balcony If there are not too many requirements, it is enough to suggest halfway up the mountain Living too high is really really hard to climb - 🍽️About eating: For friends who come to Guizhou for the first time, I recommend sour soup beef or local stir-fry - 📝Note tips: There are really few people going in the off-season Accommodation and eating are relatively convenient It is best to find a sunny day to go The experience on a rainy day should not be too good The village is quite commercial, but I personally think it is very beautiful and worth it! The stilted buildings are very beautiful and the photos are very good. It is a good choice to go on a sunny day for a weekend. It is not as unbearable as the Internet says There will be some performances at a fixed time Try to bring as little luggage as possible. It is really hard to walk with a suitcase on the road in the village. If there is really a lot of luggage, try to choose a homestay that can help with luggage Remember to wear a pair of comfortable shoes

The water is cold and the river is quiet, with green mountains filling the view

The characteristic stilted buildings of Guizhou are built along the mountains, with varying heights, nestled in the embrace of the green mountains.

Places you must visit in your lifetime

If you have been to three, you can show off in front of your friends; if you can go to more than half, then you are the king of the travel industry. 1. Mount Laojun: Located in Henan, Mount Laojun is a real palace in the sky. The mountains here are green and the temples are solemn, giving a mysterious and quiet feeling. It is worth mentioning that it is not open to foreigners. 2. The Forbidden City: The glory and shock of the Forbidden City are indescribable. 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. Enshi: Go to Xianbenna in China, cross the Pingshan Grand Canyon, and stay in the cliff glass house in the heart of the earth valley. The landscape here is so beautiful that it makes people's hearts move. 8. Hulunbuir: Here, you can ride a horse on the grassland and feel the freedom of the wind. Blue sky, white clouds, green grass, constitute the unique magnificent scenery of Hulunbuir. The above 8 places, both the natural wonders and the treasures of the world. Walking through these places, you will gain a unique travel memory. In the future, why not include them one by one and become the king of the travel industry.

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!

Guangzhou to Guizhou three-day two-night per capita 800 strategy

Here is the strategy I have sorted out! Guizhou is really the first choice for Guangzhou's surrounding tours, because it has beautiful scenery and low prices, very suitable for weekend relaxation! My boyfriend and I went together, and the cost of two people did not exceed 1,500 yuan. We suggest taking the train from Guangzhou South to Congjiang Station (passing through Guilin, Guangxi on the way, the scenery is super beautiful!) The round-trip ticket price is 388 yuan. We recommend staying in the village inside Zhaoxing Dong Village, so it is very convenient to travel. I live two kilometers outside the village, and every time I travel, I am picked up and dropped off by the boss of a guesthouse called Yihao Guesthouse, which is very convenient. The boss is very friendly! I stayed there for two days and had a great experience! As for tickets, student tickets are 40 yuan. We went to two attractions, one is Tang'an Terraced Fields (next to the terraced fields is a Tang'an Dong Village), and the other is Zhaoxing Tong Village. Tang'an Terraced Fields is located on the mountain, and Zhaoxing Dong Village is located at the foot of the mountain. We arrived at Tang'an Terraced Fields at noon, so we wanted to go to the mountain to enjoy the scenery in the afternoon. The boss of the guesthouse told us that we were very lucky because the weather was particularly good that day and we could see the sunset (it was cloudy and rainy the previous few days). To go to the terraced fields, you need to take a car. There are some people selling tickets on the roadside in Zhaoxing Dong Village. We directly bought a round-trip ticket for 20 yuan. It takes about 15 minutes to go up the mountain. The mountain road is very winding! Always going around. If you get carsick, it's best to prepare a bag. If you don't get carsick, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window, which is really super beautiful! After reaching the top of the mountain, the driver will drop us off at the entrance of Tang'an Dong Village, and the entrance is Tang'an Terraced Fields. At that time, we chose to visit Tang'an Dong Village first, and then return to the entrance to watch the sunset when the sun went down, and then return to the guesthouse. Tang'an Dong Village is very comfortable, and the whole village gives people a leisurely feeling, which is very suitable for relaxing. The local architecture is very distinctive, and it looks more charming under the afternoon sun. Compared with Tang'an Dong Village, Zhaoxing Dong Village is more lively, full of human fireworks. Walking into the alley is a residential area, with a small stream in the middle, where you can see children catching fish in the river and women washing clothes. The size of the village is moderate, and it takes about two or three hours to visit. Entering from the entrance of the village, you will see a street for renting ethnic costumes, with many shops. I rented a set of costumes, the price is 30 yuan for two hours. Many households in the village will hang dyed long cloth and tie-dyed clothes on the upper floor of their homes. Some shops can experience tie-dyeing, but because the process is more complicated and time-consuming, we did not go. The most representative local delicacy is crispy fragrant pig. Crispy fragrant pig powder can be seen everywhere, and the price is also very affordable, only a dozen yuan a bowl. (I ate for two days haha) In addition, grilled pork skewers are also a good choice, 6 skewers can be bought for 10 yuan, very delicious!

People from the south always have to visit the Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou

This is the city of the sky in China, like a green ark floating in the vast sea of clouds, standing in the continuous Wuling Mountain Range, telling the vicissitudes of more than a billion years, this is the illusion of the Buddhist country Fanjing Mountain. Fanjing Mountain is located in the vast hinterland of the Wuling Mountain area, one of the oldest areas that rose from the sea to the land south of the Yellow River. It is the first mountain in Guizhou, the first peak of Wuling, not only the watershed of the Wujiang and Yuanjiang rivers, but also the highest main peak of the Wuling Mountain Range that spans Guizhou, Chongqing, Hunan, and Hubei. After billions of years of baptism, it still maintains the most primitive ecological environment. The magic of Fanjing Mountain is created by the nature's craftsmanship. 🏔"You must go to Fanjing Mountain, to see the pure land of Fan Tian lost in the world" Take your loved ones to feel the real city in the sky!

Fanjing mountain - a dream

We came to climb the mountain just a few days before the Chinese New year holiday and we found that there were not too many people. We stayed near the entrance so that we could just walk to the ticket office once we finished our breakfast. currently the ticket is free if you are Chinese but I had to pay 70 rmb. I think it was half price because of the winter season. we took the cable car up and walked the rest up to the mushroom stone. Because of snow we were not able to climb to the last peak to the top of the mountain but it was still amazing. #newyearadventure #fanjingshan #travel #explore #china #guizhou
