Embracing the Fog at Fangjing Mountain!

#chinatrip Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou is a breathtaking natural wonder that offers a spiritual and scenic escape like no other. This UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its unique rock formations, lush forests, and cloud-kissed peaks, is a sacred place in Chinese Buddhism, home to ancient temples perched on dramatic cliffs. The most famous of these is the iconic Red Cloud Golden Summit, where two temples sit atop twin peaks, connected by a narrow stone bridge—an awe-inspiring sight that makes the challenging hike worthwhile. Travel tip: Start your journey early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the serene beauty of the mountain in the soft morning light. The hike to the summit is strenuous but rewarding, so wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water. For those who prefer a more relaxed visit, a cable car is available, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Be sure to visit the Mushroom Stone, another of Fanjing’s unique geological features, and take time to explore the peaceful temples along the way. Fanjing Mountain is a must-visit for nature lovers and those seeking spiritual tranquility amidst some of China’s most striking landscapes.

Guizhou, as the only province in China without plains, boasts over 20,000 bridges among its rolling mountains. It has 50 of the 100 tallest bridges in the world, thus earning its name as the Museum of World Bridges. Limited by poor transportation network, the province stayed underdeveloped for many years. Since the 1970s, a massive infrastructure project kicked off a good start of the reshaping of Guizhou. Now, both people’s lives and tourism sector benefit from its better road complex.#awesomepic

Guizhou fields!

One of THE highlights of 2022 was dragging my beloved Summer Feet™ to their first (and second! And third!) loved location - one of which almost turned into a brawl because, you know, no tougher street than the hike between hills and rice fields.(but that's a story for another day). It was a summer/ autumn of operatic proportions indeed, one in which I was privileged enough to witness six sites in 3 villages ! This one was particularly special because not only was scenic but also chilled . And what a consummate artist it is! Besides, I had an occasion to shoot this confection I collaborated with @jack and any excuse to channel a certain "Pretty town" is always a good one. I can't promise I'll make more of these in 2023 but let’s wait for it. As always, I have my dear friend @jj to thank for an operatic Chinese village trip. #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #china #guizhou

Wonderful Summer Resort l The Xiaoqikong 😍

The Xiaoqikong scenic area is located in Southwest County, Guizhou Province. Xiaoqikong, which means "Bridge with seven little arches" is renowned as a wonderful summer resort in Libo County. From Libo County, we took a taxi and the whole journey was about 30 minutes. We walked to the entrance building, presented our identification cards (Passport for foreigner) and paid for entrance fee. Inside the scenic park, there were free bus rides to take tourists to different sites. Since this place is too big, tourists need at least 2 days to explore it. 😅 Additional tip: Bring your slippers coz you'll surely enjoy the cool water on foot and extra clothes when you feel sweaty from a long walk. 😅 #summervacation #tripblazers #naturewonders

Xiaoqikong and Daqikong Scenic Areas!

These two spectacular scenic areas are located in Libo county in Guizhou province. This stunning place is surrounded by mountains full of greenery, emerald rivers, incredible caves, waterfalls, pure nature and landscapes…It’s absolutely amazing, also it’s unlikely to find many tourists in the spot because it’s huge and furthermore, the location is not really convenient, isn’t totally ready for tourism due to lack of transportation, shops and restaurants but it’s still worth visiting! . . . . #naturalwonders #scenicspotguide #summervacation #waterfall #china #nationalpark #hiking #hikingtrails #createwithtrip

Guizhou, China🇨🇳 #summervacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

The thousand household village, and the largest Miao village in China. Set in the natural basin of a valley, surrounded by paddy fields, wooden houses on stilts (known as diao jiao lou, 豆角楼) rise up off the grounds covering the hillsides. Comprised of three storeys, the first usually is usually used for storage of tools and livestock; the second acts as the bedroom, living room, kitchen; the third is used to store grain and other products. From long table banquets and colorful performances to incredible viewing decks and unique local eats, you’ll need to stay at least two days to experience everything Xijiang Miao Village has to offer. 📍Xijiang Miao Village, Guizhou, China #leaveyourmark

Amazing place and wonderful boat ride in wuchuan ,The intoxicated land of Guizhou province .

Guiyang Manchu Street is a flyover and an underground passage. It can be said that I am constantly entering the land, and it is also very interesting. On the road, I also saw a special place name, Oil Street, where the government built a ramp and a gate more than 100 years ago. The restaurant opened here opened its own frying workshop to solve the supply of rapeseed oil, and the oil-squeezed street was slowly formed. Jiaxiu Building has a history of more than 400 years. There are floating jade bridges connecting the two banks. After six repairs, the existing building was rebuilt in the first year of Xuantong (1909). There is a small exhibition hall that tells about the historical changes and important figures in Guizhou. The world's first long association, China's top ten famous buildings! ! The founder of Kung Pao Chicken Ding Baozhen, a native of Guizhou, has long experience and has always thought that it was the Kung Pao Chicken invented by the Sichuanese! (Just come to a tour group, listen to the tour guide to explain) to come out freely, if you have enough time, you can guide a lot of knowledge, you can understand a lot of knowledge, do not want money. The back of Jiaxiu Building is called Cuiweiyuan. The scenery is general, passing by, but this sentence on the wall attracted me: cool and cool Guiyang! Because Guiyang downtown streets and alleys have this slogan everywhere, and later Baidu, originally because Guiyang's climate is pleasant, winter is warm and cool in summer, the temperature in summer is also 20 degrees, suitable for summer, then the secretary of the municipal party committee lyrics, Sun Nan sings A song title is "cool and cool Guiyang", it has become Guiyang's business card, the next few days on the train infinitely loop this song, so there is a feeling on the road! Continue to hike, anyway, nothing happened in the afternoon, just take a look around, go to the snack street, pass Wenchang Pavilion, and it is a place to become a tea drink, next to Wushengmen. Then its coming to Minsheng Road, a variety of snacks, but the home is crispy duck, and the old kings family also has crispy ducks, diligent mother silk dolls, Yang Xiaoma silk dolls, all kinds of aunts. Crispy duck is divided into large, medium and small, and the middle and a half, the price is 19-60, but the home is slightly more expensive, Wang Ji's cheaper pieces, the next day to Huangguoshu on the way to buy near the train station In the middle half, 19 yuan, he couldnt do it. This road is a snack of Guiyang. The silk doll is a pancake made of rice flour. It is as thin as paper but as big as a palm. Then entangled in radish, folded ears (Houttuynia cordata) kelp silk fried soy beans, paste pepper and so on. When the locals eat, of course, it is necessary to inject sour and spicy juice. This drowning is the essence of silk dolls. The crepes are usually counted as 12 yuan, and the side dishes are infinitely looped. When a guest comes up, they will come up with a small dish. In fact, I feel a little unhygienic, and I dont have much taste. Ice powder is not as delicious as you think, it seems to be 8 yuan, can not remember, and mung bean ice powder and so on. Guiyang local silk doll shop, so it is not necessary to eat in Minsheng Road, including but the home crispy duck, the branch is also a lot, I think Huaxi beef powder is quite good, my taste Huaxi beef powder, generally two famous, Huaxi Wangji and Huaxifei bowl, have branches. Take the train to the train station. In order to get familiar with the route and distance from the train station to the hotel, I will make arrangements for the next two days. By the way, I bought the train to Anshun the next morning, because I went to Huangguoshu if I took the train. If you can only travel to Anshun on a special trip. . Bus is 2 or 20 (Guiyang bus 1-2 yuan), haha, double-decker bus.

In particular, Lichee Gorge, Baiji Gorge and Tuzizi Gorge are the finest works of Shanshui Gallery. The poet Mei Ruoweng of the Qing Dynasty praised: "The mountains and rivers should be pushed first."

"Guizhou Self-Drive Tour: A Magical Journey on the S-Shaped Road".

Step onto the mysterious and charming land of Guizhou and embark on a self-drive tour. The S-shaped road is like the earth's agile curve, leading me to explore the stunning scenery deep in this land. The sound of the car engine echoes in the valley, and I move forward along the winding S-shaped road. The road is like a flexible python, shuttling freely between the mountains. Every bend is a surprise notice, and you never know what kind of scenery will come into view in the next second. Looking out of the car window, one side is a steep cliff, and there are occasionally tenacious trees on the cliff. They stretch their branches and leaves, as if waving to passing vehicles. On the other side is a bottomless valley. The valley is filled with a faint mist, as if putting a soft veil on the earth. The sun shines through the gaps in the clouds and forms mottled light and shadow on the S-shaped road, as if it is a scroll carefully drawn by nature. When the vehicle slowly drove over the S-shaped bends, the slight weightlessness caused by the centrifugal force was like dancing with the road. Every turn requires careful control of the steering wheel, as if driving a dialogue with nature. On this road, speed is not the point, but to enjoy the feeling of being immersed in the mountains and rivers and being in close contact with nature. Continue along the S-shaped road, you will see the scattered villages in the distance. The white houses are particularly eye-catching against the green trees. The smoke rises from the roof, as if telling an old story. There are also local villagers setting up stalls by the road from time to time, selling fresh fruits and characteristic handicrafts. The S-shaped road in Guizhou is not only a passage connecting various places, but also a road to inner peace. Every self-driving tour on this road is a deep dialogue with nature and self. It is a wonderful experience that cannot be fully expressed in words. Only by personally stepping on this S-shaped road can you truly appreciate its unique charm.

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, Guizhou.

One day in Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village~ Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is so beautiful~ Waking up to a good weather and seeing a whole field of rice is really healing. Sitting by the window, drinking tea and dazing is the slow life I like. I highly recommend the homestay I stayed in. It's affordable and has a great view! The host is also very nice. He contacted me a day in advance to arrange a meeting place. He picked us up and helped us with our luggage. He deserves a thumbs up! Some people say that it is heavily developed here, which has its pros and cons. I think it's quite good and acceptable. It's very convenient to eat, live and travel. Come and feel the cultural atmosphere here and experience Miao costumes. From the misty Miao Village in the morning to the brilliant Miao Village with thousands of lights at night, it's super beautiful!

I discovered a hidden gem in Guizhou, an ancient village.

I stumbled upon this village called Yaogu on my way from Maolan to Guiyang. There are many handicrafts (tie-dye, batik, Nuo carving, etc.) in the village. It seems that all the houses are engaged in handicrafts! However, we arrived in the evening, and we spent all our time taking photos until it got dark. We didn't have time to walk around or experience the handicrafts! If I had time, I would definitely stay here for a night. The view of the mountains opposite the village is amazing! It's also a great place to take photos!

Guizhou Baiyan Village is so beautiful!

Transportation: Self-driving is the best, or high-speed rail Kaili Station/Rongjiang Station Accommodation: Muyun Jian Terraced Homestay Food: I really love Guizhou sour soup beef (must eat It is a good place to avoid the world on weekends, a very niche place, just in the off-season, there are very few tourists, and the villagers are very simple

Guiyang's sea of rice. The potato country is never short of beautiful scenery~.

It's another deep autumn, looking for rice fields, smelling the rice, cooking a pot of claypot rice, grinding a cup of coffee and putting on a favorite song, enjoying the comfort that only belongs to you, you will find that life is just like this. 1 Navigation: Changshe, Longshan Town, Longli County. 2 Play: You can follow the road all the way to the location, there are rice fields everywhere, suitable for strolling. 3 Scenery: There is also a stone gate flower sea near the rice field, and the Longli River Bridge can be checked in. If you don't want to go to the scenic spot, like me, find a piece of open space for lunch, drink a cup of iced coffee, and look at the blue sky and white clouds in the countryside. It's great. 4 Equipment: Bring tables, benches, cooking utensils, mocha pots, tripods, mosquito repellent water (if you want to realize the freedom of iced coffee outside, there is a good way to learn, freeze ice cubes at home in advance, and freeze the thermos in the refrigerator in advance, If you can't go to Lali terraces, then hurry up and pack your equipment to go to Longli to shoot the rice fields. If you don't want to do anything in summer, then wish us good luck in this autumn

Three-day trip to Guizhou (Guiyang, Small Seven Holes, Thousand Households Miao Village).

Three-day trip to Guizhou (Guiyang, Small Seven Holes, Thousand Households Miao Village) I felt a little cool and hot. As the tour guide said, "The sky is not sunny for three days, and the ground is not flat for three feet." The distance from one attraction to another in Guizhou often starts with a three-hour drive, and there are no three consecutive sunny days, so rain gear must be brought. On the first day, I took the high-speed rail from Chongqing to Guiyang, which took more than two hours. I wandered around Guiyang for a day and went to the snack street. It was a little hot under the sun and the ultraviolet rays were strong. I went to Qianshan Mountain. When I went there, Xiao Lao Fei was not so popular. I only saw monkeys drinking Fanta and grabbing things. The mountain was too big and it was tiring to climb. The Doudou powder hotpot and roast chicken were still delicious. On the second day, I went to Small Seven Holes, which took 3.5 hours by car. I met heavy rain at the entrance and the waterfall pool overflowed. There were many people, I wore a raincoat, but my shoes were still wet. So rain boots are especially necessary. There were many people and long queues. I was in a hurry all the way. The waterfall was very spectacular. I arrived at Thousand Households Miao Village in the evening and queued up again to take the sightseeing bus. On the third day, I was in Thousand Households Miao Village, which felt a bit like Lijiang. The grilled black pork skewers were delicious, and I also ate red eggs. The weather was very good, and it was a perfect ending. Summary: Guiyang is not very big, and it is easy to get stuck in traffic when driving. It is recommended to take the subway, which is relatively convenient and close to the scenic area. Qianshan Mountain is very large and it is tiring to climb. If you don't want to climb, don't consider entering from the south gate. Be sure to choose a good place to stay in Guiyang. Try to avoid travel agency group hotels, such as hotels near Huaguoyuan. Otherwise, it will take half an hour to wait for an elevator or check out. The drive from one attraction to another in Guizhou starts at 3 hours. If you can go early, do so. Now is the peak tourist season. You may want to quit when you start queuing at the entrance of the scenic area and get on the sightseeing bus. Be sure to bring a raincoat and rain boots to Small Seven Holes. Whether it's raining or a waterfall, your shoes will get wet. Go early. There are too many people in the peak season. It's beautiful, but the waterfall photo is full of people. Thousand Households Miao Village is similar to Lijiang. There is a barbecue street, a bar street, and a travel photography street. There are beautiful young ladies in minority costumes everywhere. You can see the ladies taking photos on the roof in the middle of the night. Thousand Households Miao Village is not very big, but the electric car only costs 20 yuan for 4 times, and 5 yuan for each additional time. However, many places are not allowed. The viewing platform is not far away. It takes more than ten minutes to climb. It is also beautiful to go early. There are many people at night. It is a bit painful to walk around Miao Village with a suitcase. It's all stone roads. It is recommended to find a luggage delivery service at the entrance and send it directly to your place of residence. The accommodation conditions in Thousand Households Miao Village are average. They are all wooden houses. It is recommended to find a place on the hillside with a night view. The scenery is better. The paddy field area is quite photogenic, but it's too sunny. Everyone should do a good job of sun protection.

100 Ways of Travel in Guizhou Province: Emerald Forest Realm

#100WaysOfTravel Guizhou Province is the most ecologically clean region of China, which occupies almost the entire territory of the Yunnan-Guizhou Highlands. In the province, you can see karst mountains, nature reserves, caves, lakes, rivers (Guizhou serves as the watershed of the Yangtze and Zhujiang river systems), waterfalls and thermal springs. The capital of the province is Guiyang City. It is no different from the usual Chinese megacities: high-rise buildings, modern boutiques, city parks. Guizhou is a mountainous multinational province in southwestern China. This region is often called Chinese Switzerland because bigger percentage of its territory is covered with mountains, forests, riverbeds and waterfalls. And Guizhou is also the most environmentally friendly region in China. Ten years ago, Guizhou was popular only among Chinese tourists, but in recent years the situation has changed a lot: the beauty of the region and its attractions have begun to be recognized all over the world. One of the most popular and impressive places in Guizhou is the Huangshu Waterfall. It is considered one of the largest in Asia: its height is 77.8 meters and width is 81. The waterfall itself was discovered in the 1980s during a study of the hydroelectric potential of the region. In total, more than 15 waterfalls, four underwater rivers and about a hundred caves were found here. Almost all of these sites have formed a single national park, Huangguoshu Waterfall. This is a great place for nature trails, there are many trails and routes. Another important natural attraction of the region is the Zhijin karst Caves. Narrow passages are replaced by huge spaces, and the height difference is sometimes 150 meters. The total length of the system is ten kilometers, but few tourists dare to walk the entire track.
