Songtao Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

The scenes in my dream actually appeared in Guizhou - Tongren Grand Canyon

Tongren Grand Canyon, the belle of canyons, features exquisite and delicate attractions, with a complete range of canyon scenery. The whole journey takes just over two hours (including the round-trip by boat), and you can also choose a one-way trip (about an hour), entering from the Tianshengqiao scenic area and exiting through the Tongren Grand Canyon (or vice versa). There is a No. 20 bus from Tongren train station that goes near the scenic spot, then you can take a taxi. To get to the Tianshengqiao scenic area, you can get off at the bus stop 'Jiu Zhong' and choose to walk or take a taxi. Visiting time: If you're only visiting the Grand Canyon, it takes about two hours. If you don't spend much time taking photos, it might be around an hour and a half. If you plan to visit the Tianshengqiao area, it will take about an hour. I personally recommend going on a sunny day, as the water and waterfalls in the canyon are especially beautiful! Also, I suggest going in the morning when there are fewer people, which is great for taking photos. Suggested visiting route There is only one entrance and exit to the scenic area. You can choose to visit Tianshengqiao first and then the canyon, or vice versa! Overall, I feel that Tianshengqiao is about seeing the bigger waterfalls, and the canyon is a great place for taking photos, especially the Lover's Valley. About Tianshengqiao scenic area I highly recommend this area. Initially, I read online that Tianshengqiao scenic area was just for boat tours, and I wasn't planning to go. But since I was already there, I decided to give it a try, and it turned out to be incredibly beautiful. There are many gorgeous waterfalls, and on sunny days, the waterfalls create beautiful rainbows when they catch the sunlight. There are also mandarin ducks in the area, and the water here is really beautiful!!!

The niche Tongren Grand Canyon

Are you sure you don't want to give it a try? If you decide to visit, I recommend the Tianshengqiao scenic spot and the Tongren Grand Canyon area, because the local transportation is not very convenient, so I recommend two ways for everyone! Transportation: ①Self-driving or renting a car: Navigate to the Tianshengqiao scenic area, Buy a boat ticket to the Grand Canyon, walk the glass plank road to view the canyon, then return by boat to the Tianshengqiao scenic area. ②Chartered car: Drop off at the entrance of the Tianshengqiao scenic area, pick up at the entrance of the Tongren Grand Canyon, and go through the whole journey without turning back! Tickets: The tickets for the scenic spots are sold separately, 120 yuan for the Grand Canyon and 100 yuan for the round-trip Tianshengqiao cruise. It is recommended to buy a joint ticket for 200 yuan, which can save 20 yuan. Sightseeing: Divided into the upper stream (navigate to Tongren Grand Canyon) and the lower stream (navigate to Tianshengqiao), the upper stream ends entry at 16:30 and the lower stream at 17:30. So everyone should manage their time well when visiting. There are also rafting, rock climbing, and adventure plank roads within the scenic area, and these activities are charged separately! Be sure to watch out and avoid any pitfalls. Please note: There is only one restroom within the scenic area! Try to take care of your needs outside before entering (there is a restroom in the parking lot). Alright, that's pretty much it. Finally, just follow the above to visit. Everyone will definitely have a great time. Personal suggestion: Self-driving is the most comfortable way to travel.

The lesser-known scenic spot in Guizhou---Tongren Grand Canyon

The Tongren Grand Canyon is located in the Songtao Miao Autonomous County of Tongren City, about 30km from Tongren City and about 40 kilometers from the ancient city of Fenghuang in Hunan. Upon entering the Tongren Grand Canyon, you must first pass through a 40m tunnel, which makes the canyon seem very mysterious. The canyon is steep, hidden, secluded, vast, strange, and dangerous, with pristine canyons and forests. The dust-free fresh air and charming stream waterfall combine to form a fantastic natural landscape. The most attractive part of the canyon is the Xiaolongtan Waterfall and a line of sky. Coming to the Tongren Grand Canyon, you can't help but sigh at the wonders of nature. The mountains and waters of Guizhou will never disappoint you..

Tongren Grand Canyon

Karst landforms have created many canyons in the Wuling Mountain area, and the Tongren Grand Canyon is the most representative of them. The river in the Tongren Grand Canyon originates from the Suma River in the Kerong area of the Phoenix Lare Mountain area, and after passing through Panxin and Miao Wangcheng, it converges with other rivers in Songtao to the Machao River. The Tongren Grand Canyon extends from the outlet of the Machao River Power Station to the dam of the Tiansheng Bridge Power Station. The scenic area is full of clear water, strange stones, dense forests, blooming flowers, clouds and mist, cliffs, karst caves and waterfalls, and charming scenery. The Tongren Grand Canyon tourist area is divided into three parts: the canyon, rafting, and lake tour. It combines steepness, seclusion, tranquility, vastness, strangeness, and danger, with the original canyon and forest, dust-free fresh air, and charming stream waterfall combinations to form a fantastic natural landscape.

After several hundred years of evolution, Zhaiying Rolling Dragon has innovated in traditional braiding techniques to make it magnificent and lifelike. Whether it is moving or quiet, it has a kind of vitality and spirituality. Orderly, simple and clear, in one go, the dragon is 108 feet long and is dancing by 60-80 people. People are eagerly waving, looking from a distance like a dragon continually tumbling, agilely moving through the crowd, their arms waving in a hurry, powerfully waving, waving and fluctuating. The two dragons are constantly intertwined with the dance of the people, spinning and sublimating... golden

The ancient town of Zhaiying was built in the Ming Dynasty, and flourished during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a history of more than 600 years. The existing ancient dwelling buildings, halls, shops, hand workshops, city walls, gates, piers, streets and other buildings and self-flow water supply and drainage and fire protection systems in the ancient town show the splendid, prosperous and perfect war defense features of the past.

Guizhou surrounding tour | Songtao Hongshilin

Guizhou surrounding tour | Songtao Hongshilin Address: Dang, Panshi Town, Songtao Miao Autonomous County, Tongren City, Guizhou Province. Build a village. Travel time: It is quite far from downtown Guiyang, with a 5-hour drive. Navigation software can search directly. Ticket: Free Today I came to a niche scenic spot in Tongren called "Songtao Hongshilin". Songtao Hongshilin is located in Songtao Miao Autonomous County, Tongren City. It is an undeveloped and incomplete scenic spot. The winding and steep mountain road, trekking through mountains and rivers to get here. Attracted by everything in front of my eyes, covering an area of about 2,000 acres, the grand scale and layers of red stones are particularly eye-catching!! It is said that 500 million years ago, this red stone forest area, like the Longxi Gorge, belonged to the Yangtze ancient sea in geological history. The seabed has accumulated a large amount of carbonate material mixed with mud and sand. Through crustal movement and erosion, dissolution and other processes, it has formed a beautiful geological wonder of heavy folds, red and white interlacing, and crisscrossing. The road to the destination is quite rough with many potholes. Cars should be cautious to avoid scraping the bottom. It is recommended to drive a high chassis vehicle, such as an SUV. The steepness of the mountain's toilet cannot be expressed in words. Perhaps because there is no one managing the scenic area, taking photos while wearing red or light-colored clothes can result in great shots.

Miao Wang City: Seeking the Most Beautiful Nostalgia in Spring

Miao Wang City is located in Xinzhai Village, Songtao County, Tongren City, with a long history. It has been managed by dozens of Miao kings since the Ming Dynasty, and now has a history of more than 600 years. It is the only well-preserved ancient Miao fortress in the southwestern region that integrates politics, economy, culture, military, and architecture. Miao Wang City covers an area of ten square kilometers. Based on the mountain shape and water potential, there are six ancient military fortresses built in front and back. Inside the ancient fortress, there are eleven lanes, and within the lanes, there are eleven fortress gates to resist foreign enemies. The stilted buildings in the fortress are typical of Miao family characteristics, and the crooked paths are a unique architectural style of the ancient fortress. The Awakening of Insects has passed, and all things are reviving. The gentle spring rain nourishes the mountains and the earth. For a time, the ethereal and pleasant sound of birdsong, the rustling of insects, the rustling of wind blowing through the leaves, and the sound of water flowing in mountain streams and valleys all play the symphony of nature. March is the perfect season to visit Miao Wang City for a spring outing. The river that flows through the fortress, the peculiar and precipitous cliffs, the dense forests, the elegant Miao-style wind and rain bridges, as well as the Miao women washing clothes by the river, the playful children, and the singing of Miao people working in the fields, create a dreamlike atmosphere for visitors, as if 'traveling in a painting' and merging with nature, returning to nature and to oneself in the landscape gallery of Miao Wang City. Miao Wang City combines mountains, water, caves, springs, waterfalls, canyons, forests, ancient trees, tea gardens, primitive villages, military lanes, and Miao customs into one. It is an ideal destination for tourism, vacation, leisure, and adventure, known as 'the first fortress in a thousand miles of Miao territory.' It is the famous hometown of Miao songs, Miao drums, folk stunts, and a film and television shooting base. In Miao Wang City, Miao girls in full silver dress will warmly sing card songs and perform the door-blocking ceremony, offering up the mellow Miao King rice wine. In the green-tiled wooden houses, the fragrant Miao family meals are served. Beside the spinning wheel, the old grandmother and the girl weaving flower belts speak the incomprehensible Miao dialect. The affectionate dark kerchief left on the handsome young man's face is the love of the kitchen smoke, and under the ancient tree, the frenzied entertainment of the gods is the spirited old Miao master. The bare-chested young men dance a strong and unrestrained drum dance. The rain in Miao Wang City has its own gentle character. It falls slowly and lasts long, with a touch of tenderness and a hint of vitality. In the drizzle, walking with an umbrella, strolling through the ancient streets, or sitting alone under the corridor, each is a scenery, beautiful enough to intoxicate the heart. The sky is blue, waiting for the misty rain, and in March, Miao Wang City is waiting for you. Tips: It is recommended to drive by yourself, as the journey is scenic. For more strategies, you can refer to Ctrip to make a good plan.

At the entrance to the scenic spot, there is a tea sea that is being expanded. Only when I walked in, there was a smell of scent that floated to my nose, and I couldnt help but linger and be drunk. Looking far away, you can see a number of trails leading to the depths of the tea. There are also staff nearby, using machines to harvest tea trees in a ridge. Going higher, there is also a cement platform specially set up for tourists to enjoy the tea sea. Looking at it, the tea trees are neatly arranged, and the mountains are undulating, like a green sea. A gust of wind blew, and a burst of tea scented, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Miao Wangfu is different from the former Miaowang's former residence. It is quite magnificent. Of course, the current buildings are rebuilt according to the records at that time. I want to see Miao Wang not only have no difference with the emperor in official business, but even the usual seat. The chair is also comparable to the specifications of the Golden Temple, which is far from the emperor. Strolling in the Miaojiang King City, what makes you stay and be moved is not the so-called modern architecture, but the vicissitudes and mottled ancient meanings that can be seen everywhere in the ordinary lanes. The impression of Songtao has made me subvert all previous imaginations. If you only know a little about the life of Miao people, you must not miss this station in Miaowangcheng.

The wonderful Miao stunt performance performed at noon every day can be said to be the trump card show of Miaowangcheng. Why do you say the trump card, because most of the actors here are all on the famous variety shows such as "I want to go to the Spring Festival Evening". The word "stunt" of our "skilled pine" is also reflected in this. Whether it is the singer-songing singer, the singer, the singer, or the slashing mountain, these stunts are always reminding you that they are the fighting people of the martial arts, brave and fearless. .
