This place is commonly known as "Three Trees," located on one side of the Malingshan Canyon. The standalone main building and scattered courtyards seem to be a homestay hotel, which is still under construction. Surprisingly, a stone tablet inscribed with "Tea Horse Ancient Trail" has been added! The Tea Horse Ancient Trail was a route used for trading tea with horses since the Tang Dynasty, especially during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty until the Republic of China era, and is part of the Southern Silk Road. Within this province, there is "Tea Horse Town" (formerly known as "Horse Farm Village"), which might also be a section of the Tea Horse Ancient Trail, right? The Malingshan River Bridge of the expressway opposite reflects the ancient and modern times, presenting an interesting contrast.

🌟Highlights: Picture : Everyone knows that Guizhou has many tunnels, so the high-speed trains and trains in Guizhou emerge from tunnels every three seconds, but the scenery in those three seconds is already enough. Picture : I forgot which mountain it was, maybe it's just an unnamed mountain, but it really looks like a painting🖼️, with a fairy-like aura. Picture 📍Location: Xingyi Wanling Peak in Qianxinan This place is really magnificent, with a multitude of mountains rising up, a small path beneath the mountains, winding and twisting. When the sky is about to brighten, it seems as if there are still clouds and mists between the mountains. If Li Bai saw this, there would probably be another excellent poem added to the Chinese textbooks. Picture . For world bridges, look to China; for Chinese bridges, look to Guizhou. The world's first concrete truss bridge, the Jiangjiehe Bridge, opened in 1995, marked the first successful human crossing of the hundreds of meters high Wu River in the 90s.
