The beauty of the ancient city of Zhenyuan in Guizhou has arrived!!!
A town known as the 'Oriental Venice', 'Zhenyuan Ancient Town' has a history of more than 2300 years. The S-shaped Wuyang River in the ancient city resembles a Tai Chi diagram, integrating mountains and rivers into a unity of heaven and man, earning it the title of 'Majestic Mountains and Beautiful Waters'!

really worth to do this tour: short, sweet and memorable. A good way to enjoy the different views of the city and take a moment of rest after a long day of exploring.
It normally takes about 30min. Average costs between 60-80rmb. You can keep windows opened or closed, if too cold.

Wuyanghe National Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Zhenyuan Ancient Town, known as the "Oriental Venice", is a free scenic area
Zhenyuan Ancient Town is located in the Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, and is an ancient town with a history of more than 2,000 years. The natural scenery here is beautiful, the ancient architectural complex is well-preserved, and the ethnic culture is rich and colorful.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of Miao villages, this place is a better choice for a quiet and relaxing, slow-paced place.
Recommendations❗️❗️ During the day, you can go to Libo (as mentioned before) or go river rafting in Zhenyuan (costing about 220 yuan), and at night, visit Zhenyuan to see the night view of the Wuyang River. The night view here is very beautiful🌃, taking a walk and eating late-night snacks is quite nice, while the daytime is just average.
✅ One of the most beautiful ancient towns in China
✅ A less crowded and beautiful ancient town
✅ Full of lively atmosphere
✅ A great place to cool off in summer
✅ Super beautiful riverside night view
🎫 Ticket: The ancient town is free, other places require tickets
🚗 Distance: About 223km from Guiyang city, approximately a 3-hour drive
⏰ Recommended visiting time: 1 or 2 days
🟠 Zhusheng Bridge, Qinglong Cave
This place is a landmark of Zhenyuan, with a great night view. You can look up at the Shiqing Mountain, and next to it is the Qinglong Cave ancient architectural complex, which requires a ticket of 60 yuan per person. Personally, I suggest you don't need to go, just stand on the opposite pier to see the full view🏔
🟠 Shiping Mountain
The only way is to walk up, which allows you to overlook the entire ancient town, and the perspective from the top is super great. Since we were with children, we did not climb it. Those who want to enjoy the panoramic view of the ancient town can go there. There is also an ancient city wall on the top, 30 yuan per person, open from 8:00 to 16:30 every day for entry
🟠 Ancient Streets
The alleys and architectural complexes of the ancient streets are quite distinctive, worth checking in. Walking along the riverside streets at night to see the night view is super nice. The new bridge at night offers a view of the lights on both sides of the river, very suitable for a family outing and relaxation🎶
🥢 Food Recommendations:
There are many delicacies in the ancient town, tofu pudding, and grilled fish with tofu are local specialties, highly recommended. We found a popular local restaurant: Gu Cheng Miao Jia Tu Cai Guan, which also has a river view! 👀
🏠 Accommodation Recommendations:
There are many accommodations, you can choose according to your needs. If you want quiet, you can choose near Zhusheng Bridge; if you want convenience, choose near the new bridge. There are also river view rooms with balconies available, but the price is relatively expensive!
