Guizhou - Baiyan Village The Miao name "Zenliu" means "a place where the terraced fields are layered, vast, and wide." It's a mountain village nestled among rice terraces. With no public transport and few tourists, there are only three or four accommodations. Here, I found the purest sense of contentment from my childhood. I woke up early in the morning to watch the mist swirling among the terraced fields and mountains. During the day, I explored the village, played with chickens and dogs, chased butterflies, and searched for rice paddy fish. At night, I caught shooting stars streaking across the sky from the rooftop. I stayed from one end of the village to the other, wandering from day to night. Every moment here was peaceful and blissful. 🫶🏻

📍Guizhou-Baiyan Village The Miao name "Zenliu" means "wide terraces stacked up in layers". This is a mountain village surrounded by terraced fields. It has inconvenient transportation, few tourists, and only three or four homestays. This place allows me to regain the purest sense of satisfaction from my childhood. In the morning, I get up early to enjoy the clouds and mist lingering between the terraces and the mountains; during the day, I wander around the village, teasing chickens and dogs🐶, chasing butterflies🦋, and looking for small fish in the rice fields🐟. At night, I look up at the starry sky on the roof and catch the passing stars🌠. From the beginning to the end of the village, I played here from day to late at night, and every moment was filled with tranquility and happiness.

Zunyi Meitan, this small city that seems to leap out of ancient paintings, always attracts my heart that pursues ancient charm and style like a magnet. The sun shines through the dense treetops, casting mottled light and shadow. The interplay of light and shadow seems like nature is performing a visual symphony for us, refreshing and pleasing to the soul. As the journey progresses, the charm of Meitan gradually unfolds before my eyes. Finally, I arrived at Meitan County. What caught my eye were the simple and elegant buildings, with blue bricks and black tiles, carved beams and painted rafters, as if every brick and tile bears the weight of profound history and culture. I wander through the narrow and winding streets, as if traveling back to ancient times. The air is filled with a faint scent of tea, the unique aroma of Meitan. Following this enticing fragrance, I entered an old-fashioned teahouse. Inside, people are either sitting around a table enjoying tea and conversation, or alone, savoring the sweetness of the tea, enjoying a leisurely time. I also sat down, ordered a pot of local specialty tea, and slowly savored the unique aroma of the tea, feeling the leisure and tranquility of Meitan. In addition to the aroma of tea, the delicacies of Meitan also made me linger. Walking on the streets, you can see snack stalls with tempting aromas everywhere. I couldn't help but step forward and tasted a bowl of Meitan's specialty lamb rice noodles. The delicious broth, smooth rice noodles, and spicy lamb made me eat spoon after spoon, as if all my taste buds were awakened.
