Guizhou, an unmissable dream journey! Dear friends! I just got back from Guizhou recently

Everything about this dream journey in Guizhou is unmissable Dear friends! I just got back from Guizhou recently, and that trip was like opening a magical box full of surprises 🎁. I can’t wait to share this wonderful experience with you. Preparation ● Documents: ID card, student ID (some scenic spots offer student discounts). ● Clothing: Guizhou’s climate is changeable with big temperature differences between morning and night. Even in summer, bring a light jacket 🧥. If going to mountainous areas, it’s best to wear comfortable sports shoes. ● Medicine: Cold medicine, stomach medicine, motion sickness pills, etc., just in case. ● Others: Sunscreen, umbrella, power bank. Itinerary Day 1: Guiyang → Qingyan Ancient Town ● Morning: After arriving in Guiyang, check into the hotel and rest a bit. Then take a bus or taxi to Qingyan Ancient Town. ● Noon: Taste local specialties in the ancient town, such as Qingyan Scholar’s Pork Knuckle, which is reddish and glossy, fatty but not greasy, and every bite is full of happiness 😋. Also try Qingyan tofu, crispy outside and tender inside, with an excellent texture. ● Afternoon: Stroll along the stone-paved streets of the ancient town, admire the Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, and feel the charm of history. Visit attractions like Zhao Gongzhuan Ancestral Hall and Wenchang Pavilion. ● Evening: Enjoy the night view of the ancient town, where the lights reflect on the old buildings, creating a unique atmosphere. Day 2: Guiyang → Huangguoshu Waterfall ● Morning: Set off early for Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area. Start with Duopotang Waterfall, the widest waterfall at the top of the Huangguoshu waterfall group, with clear water and a magnificent roar. ● Noon: Have lunch at a nearby restaurant and try Guizhou’s sour soup fish, which is sour and spicy to whet the appetite, with tender fish meat. ● Afternoon: Visit the Huangguoshu Grand Waterfall, a landmark of Guizhou. Enjoy the waterfall’s grandeur from multiple angles and walk through the Water Curtain Cave to experience the waterfall’s majestic power up close 💦. ● Evening: Return to Guiyang and rest well. Day 3: Guiyang → Libo Xiaoqikong ● Morning: Take a bus to Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. Upon entering, it feels like stepping into a green fairy tale world. The Xiaoqikong ancient bridge spans the Xiangshui River, with sparkling water beneath, breathtakingly beautiful. ● Noon: Try local snacks at the scenic area’s food stalls, such as Siwawa, which wraps various shredded vegetables in a thin pancake and dips them in special sauce, offering rich and diverse flavors. ● Afternoon: Continue exploring the Water Forest and Wolong Pool. The Water Forest lets you experience walking on water, and Wolong Pool’s lake is as blue as a gem, calm and beautiful. ● Evening: Stay in Libo County town and enjoy the tranquility of the small town. Day 4: Libo → Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village ● Morning: Head to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. Standing on the viewing platform, overlooking the entire Miao village, the densely packed stilted buildings look like a beautiful painting unfolding before your eyes. ● Noon: Enjoy a long table feast in the village, singing and dancing with the warm and hospitable Miao people, experiencing rich ethnic customs. ● Afternoon: Stroll through the village’s commercial street and buy some ethnic handicrafts. ● Evening: Admire the night view of the Miao village, with every household lighting up, like twinkling stars, stunning and magnificent. Day 5: Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village → Guiyang Return ● Morning: Enjoy the peaceful morning in the Miao village, then pack up and return to Guiyang. ● Noon: Taste some local specialties in Guiyang city, such as Love Tofu Fruit and Changwang Noodles. ● Afternoon: Prepare for your return trip according to your flight or train schedule. Food Recommendations Besides the foods mentioned above, Guizhou has many other specialties worth trying, such as sour soup Siwawa, sour soup beef, rice tofu, and glutinous rice cakes. Guizhou cuisine is mainly sour and spicy, with a unique flavor that will make you crave more 😜. Accommodation Suggestions ● In Guiyang, choose to stay in the city center for convenient transportation and plenty of nearby food options. ● In Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, stay in a guesthouse near the viewing platform to enjoy the beautiful night view. Notes ● Distances between Guizhou attractions are relatively far, so plan your time and transportation wisely. ● Pay attention to safety in scenic areas, especially near waterfalls and water. ● Respect local ethnic customs and culture. Dear friends, Guizhou is truly an amazing travel destination with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and warm-hearted people. Pack your bags and embark on a spontaneous trip to Guizhou now! 💖
