    Taking the cable car from the East Gate of Fanjingshan is definitely a must. Save your energy for the Red Cloud Golden Summit and the Old Golden Summit. The whole ride takes 20 minutes, and the scenery is beautiful. There are small windows near the doors where you can take photos. It's best to get on the last one uphill for a better seat. For the 140 yuan ticket price, it's well worth it, as the cable car goes over several mountain passes.

    The scenery in Yamugou is stunning! The staff were very friendly. After entering the area, we took a sightseeing bus into the gorge and hiked out. The entire journey was shrouded in mist, creating a magical atmosphere. However, on the way back, the weather suddenly changed, and heavy rain began to fall. I had nowhere to take shelter and got soaked. The river was also noticeably flooded, so if you're going into the gorge, be sure to bring an umbrella and be careful.

    There's a scenic spot in Zhusha Ancient Town called "That Era." It depicts events from the 1960s and 1970s. At first, I was puzzled by the strangely dressed people I kept encountering. Then, when I ran into a couple getting married, I realized they were all actors! Hahaha. I have to give a thumbs-up to these actors, because I didn't realize they were actors. There's also a sign in the scenic area with multiple meanings: "Follow the Days Forward." It was very touching, because the only person who can truly heal yourself is yourself.

    I took the high-speed train from Guiyang to Tongren, and I felt like I was going to faint from the heat when I got off the bus. It cost 45 yuan to take a taxi from Tongren, and the driver said we could play for an hour, so we agreed that the driver would wait for us at the scenic spot, and we would take his car after the tour. It took 20 minutes to take the sightseeing car from the entrance of the scenic spot, and then there were 700 meters, and steps, to reach the entrance of the cave. It was so hot that I wanted to faint. But when I got close to the entrance of the cave, the cool air on my face made me feel alive. The cave is very large and spectacular, and it makes people feel the power of a long time. We wandered around for three hours, and the online taxi driver felt that he had lost a lot. With one ticket, I climbed the mountain outside and visited the cave in the belly of the mountain. It was buy one get one free, worth it.

    I came to the Fodingshan Hot Springs in Shiqian specifically to soak in the hot springs. The staff were excellent, and the changing and bathing areas for women were clean and well-equipped. If I needed shoes or towels, the staff immediately provided them. On one side is the forest hot springs, and on the other side is the water park, making it a convenient place for families to enjoy the hot springs. The herbal medicine pools, featuring Gastrodia elata, Ganoderma lucidum, and Eucommia ulmoides, were all excellent. Drinking water was available everywhere, and they even had sour plum soup. The cold noodles and potatoes in Tang Street were delicious. It was a truly enjoyable trip.

    Every time I go back to my hometown, I will go to the hot springs. This summer vacation, the hot spring prices are more favorable. The hot springs are indoors and outdoors, and the temperature can be selected. It's a pity that I don't have time to go to the swimming pool. Shiqian Ancient Hot Spring is in the county town. I like it very much.
