    Xiao Mo, the housekeeper, was very helpful and picked us up directly at the entrance of the scenic area. Since we had booked a travel photography session in advance, she thoughtfully took us to the shop in case we couldn't find our way. The environment was quite nice, just the style I liked. In the evening, the ladies around the bonfire were very enthusiastic in helping me take photos, which touched me deeply. I would definitely extend my stay next time I have the chance!

    This is a very nice five-star ancient town scenic area in Guizhou Province. There's a 10 yuan entrance fee, which doesn't include a few smaller, paid attractions inside. It's very popular and convenient for both self-driving and independent travelers, with several parking lots available at reasonable prices. Inside, there's an ancient city wall, also known as the Great Wall, which you can walk around the entire town (it's a bit strenuous). You can also climb to the top of the wall for photos and panoramic views. There's a wide variety of snacks. It's best to spend at least four hours there, as it's quite large. The ancient town has several gates, each with its own parking lot. In short, this is a highly recommended ancient town, as it has unique features compared to other ancient towns…

    It is unexpected that the Jiaxiu Tower, a landmark of Guiyang built in the Ming Dynasty, is a free attraction. You can visit the tower from 9:00 to 18:00. The water is sparkling in the morning and the scenery is beautiful.

    It's worth a visit. Although it consists of some strangely shaped rocks, it's really interesting! The Huaxi strawberries sold at the entrance are so sweet! And the handmade fridge magnets made by the景区 owner are also quite unique.

    "Monkey King Showdown" Observer: Create a fun "Monkey Watching Guide" to guide visitors in observing the social structure of the monkey troop, identifying different roles such as "Monkey King," "Sentry," and "Nanny," increasing the educational and storytelling aspects of the visit. • Safe Feeding Experience: In designated areas, provide park-sold monkey food (such as peanuts and fruit pieces) along with a card outlining "Ten Rules for Interacting with Monkeys," emphasizing not provoking, not showing food, and not looking directly at the monkeys. • Macaque Photography Contest: Launch a social media campaign encouraging visitors to upload interesting photos of macaques, with regular awards and park-themed souvenirs. • "Fu" (福, meaning good fortune) Character Check-in Route: Design a "Path of Seeking Fortune" from the mountain gate to Hongfu Temple, collecting "Fu" character stone carvings or signs in different fonts along the way, culminating in a final check-in at Hongfu Temple. • In-depth Blessing Ceremony: Promote the "Qianling Mountain Blessing Three-Piece Set": lighting incense, ringing a bell, and tying a "Fu" ribbon. Especially the "Fu" belt, which could be designed as a trendy, monkey-themed item perfect for photos under ancient trees. * Vegetarian Cuisine Experience: Position the vegetarian food at Hongfu Temple as a "must-try after hiking," emphasizing its "light, healthy, and Zen-like" qualities, creating a stark contrast to the spicy cuisine of Guiyang at the foot of the mountain. * Boating on Qianling Lake: Create a romantic "urban forest boating" experience, highlighting its high cost-performance ratio and excellent photo opportunities. The lake and mountain scenery at sunset is particularly captivating. * Viewing from Kanzhu Pavilion: Promote this spot as "an excellent vantage point for overlooking Guiyang city," ideal for capturing stunning cityscapes and time-lapse photography. * Exploring Qilin Cave: Incorporate the history of General Zhang Xueliang's house arrest, telling the backstory to enhance the historical depth of the visit.

    There weren't many people when we went, so we didn't have to wait in line. After checking in our bags at the entrance (10 yuan), we picked them up at the landing area. Then we changed clothes, put on helmets, and were given bamboo poles to get on the boat. The water was clean and relatively cool. There was even a rain shower, which delighted the children.

    [Must-See for Museum Lovers] An In-Depth Review of the Guizhou Provincial Museum: A Seriously Underrated Treasure House of Minority Culture! 🌟 Overall Rating: 4.8/5 Suitable for: Culture Enthusiasts | Families | Photography Enthusiasts | Students 🏛️ Venue Information 📍 Location: 107 Lincheng East Road, Guanshanhu District, Guiyang (Directly connected to Guiyang Metro Line 1, International Ecological Conference Center Station, Exit B) ⏰ Hours: Tuesday-Sunday, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Last admission at 4:00 PM) 🎫 Admission: Free! Free! Free! (ID card required for ticket exchange) 🚶 Suggested duration: 2-3 hours (a full day is enough for a full day) 🏆 Three must-see reasons 1️⃣ A visual feast of ethnic culture Highlights: ✔️ Eastern Han Dynasty bronze chariot and horses (Han Dynasty craftsmanship even more exquisite than Qin Shi Huang's Terracotta Army) ✔️ Miao silver jewelry (a dazzling 20-jin "phoenix crown") ✔️ Miniature model of the Dong ethnic group's drum tower (you can see it without traveling to Southeast Guizhou) Immersive experience: The ethnic costume exhibition hall on the third floor is like stepping into fashion week! Try on virtual ethnic costumes and take photos (free AR equipment) 2️⃣ A Dinosaur Fan's Paradise: A Complete Display of Guizhouosaurus Fossils (100 Million Years Older Than Jurassic Park!) Prehistoric High-Tech: Paleolithic "Sharp-Edged Percussion" Stone Tools (Humans Were So Smart 50,000 Years Ago) 3️⃣ A Photo Spot The Architecture Is a Work of Art: Inspired by the geometric structure of the Dong Drum Tower, the light and shadows are breathtaking on a sunny day Influencer Spots: ✔️ Rainbow-Colored Ethnic Costume Wall ✔️ Suspended Bronze Chariot and Horse Installation ✔️ Giant Miao Silver Hat Sculpture 💔 Three Complaints Located in a Remote Location: Not in the traditional city center, with few nearby restaurants (but conveniently accessible by subway). So-so Guides: The rental electronic guides are rather dull (recommend volunteer guides). Low-Quality Cultural and Creative Products: The souvenir shop lacks design flair (please learn from the Palace Museum's cultural and creative products!). In-Depth Experience Report ▷ Exhibition Experience: The circulation is incredibly well-designed! Following the three main themes of "Historical Guizhou, Ethnic Guizhou, and Paleontological Guizhou," you won't get lost. Each exhibition hall has a rest area, making it family-friendly. ▷ Interactive Facilities: The children's area features puzzles and costume graffiti. The digital screen lets you "wear" Miao clothing and take selfies (though the response is a bit slow). Intangible Cultural Heritage crafting workshops are available every Saturday (reservations required). ▷ Unexpected surprises: The temporary exhibition halls on the basement floor often feature major exhibitions! The "Southwest Silk Road" exhibition, which just concluded in September, showcased numerous Burmese and Thai artifacts. 📝 Practical Tips Best time to visit: Weekday mornings (weekends are packed with study tours). Hidden bonus: Free luggage storage at the reception desk (so tourist-friendly!). Eating options: The museum only offers simple meals; we recommend visiting the adjacent CCPARK shopping mall (a 5-minute walk). Must-Bring Items: ID card and power bank (I can't stop taking photos).

    The Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden lives up to its reputation as "the most beautiful cherry blossom garden on the blue planet." 700,000 cherry trees are in full bloom across 24,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) of land. The vibrant sea of pink and white blossoms, set against the backdrop of emerald green tea fields and sparkling lakes, creates a breathtaking spring scene.

    It's worth a visit, and it's different from ordinary cruises. There are several special scene performances on the shore, and the actors and lighting are good. The music can only be heard on the boat, and the elderly at home are very satisfied after watching it.
