My Liupanshui trip is over, sisters who are planning to go, please be cautious

After traveling around Liupanshui, I realized that the weather in Liupanshui in May is too "capricious" 😱! The sun is shining brightly during the day 🌞, and the ultraviolet rays are super strong. If you don't do a good job of sun protection, you'll get sunburned and your skin will peel off in minutes. At night, the temperature may suddenly drop 🌬️. If you don't bring a thick coat, you'll freeze and shiver! Moreover, some attractions are far apart, and if the transportation is not well planned, all the time will be wasted on the road! Fortunately, I did my homework in advance, so keep this guide 👇! Transportation to Liupanshui 🚇 ✈️ Liupanshui Yuezhao Airport: Some cities have direct flights! After getting off the plane, you can take the airport bus 🚌 or a taxi 🚕 to the city center, which takes about 30 minutes by taxi. If there is no direct flight, you can also fly to Guiyang Longdongbao Airport first, and then transfer to the high-speed train 🚄, which will take you to Liupanshui in about 1.5 hours~ 🚞 Liupanshui Station/Liupanshui East Station: Liupanshui Station has more trains and is closer to the city center; Liupanshui East Station is mainly a high-speed railway station, which is more convenient for going to various scenic spots. After exiting the station, buses and taxis are very convenient. It is recommended to use taxi software to call a car to avoid being ripped off~ 🚗 Self-driving: It is super convenient to drive from surrounding cities! However, there are many mountain roads with curves, so remember to drive carefully! Search for the name of the scenic spot directly on the navigation. Some scenic spot parking lots charge CNY 10–20/day 🅿️ Accommodation reference 🏠 • City center area: There are many hotels and homestays to choose from, and it is super convenient for eating and shopping! I recommend the Accor Grand Mercure Liupanshui Panjiang Hotel, which has complete facilities and convenient transportation 🌟 • Around the scenic spot: If you want to have an in-depth tour, you can choose to live in a homestay near the Wumeng Prairie or Meihua Mountain. You can see the beautiful scenery when you open the window in the morning~ But remember to book in advance, it is super popular during the peak season! Popular attractions 🎈 🌿 Wumeng Prairie: The prairie in May is as beautiful as a fairy tale! The endless green meadows and the azaleas blooming all over the mountains 🌸, the photos come with filters! Be sure to watch the sunrise and sunset 🌅 and the sea of clouds, it's super shocking! You can also experience horse riding 🐎, grass skiing, and watch the stars in a yurt at night ✨ 🚡 Meihua Mountain Tourist Scenic Area: The first cableway in Asia is a must-see! The view of the continuous mountains from the cable car is breathtaking! The Cloud Restaurant 🍴 and eggshell houses on the top of the mountain are super suitable for taking pictures, and you can also stay in a star hotel at night, which is full of romance~ 🏯 Shuicheng Ancient Town: A free ancient town with a thousand-year history! Blue bricks and gray tiles, small bridges and flowing water, the photos are super atmospheric 📸! You must visit the Third-Line Construction Museum to feel that passionate history~ There is also a night market at night, where you can eat all kinds of snacks until you are full! 🗻 Liupanshui Wumeng Mountain National Geopark: A paradise of karst landforms! Peak forests, caves, canyons... the magic of nature is fully displayed here! Remember to wear comfortable shoes, it's super fun to explore on foot~ 🌳 Minghu National Wetland Park: A natural oxygen bar in the city! The popular Wucai Steel Bridge is super photogenic. Stroll along the lake, feed the ducks 🦆, and enjoy a leisurely time~ Popular food 🍜 🍢 Shuicheng Hot Pot: The soul of Liupanshui cuisine! All kinds of meat and vegetables sizzle in the pan, dipped in chili powder 🌶️, it's so fragrant that you can't stop! It is recommended to go to the old city hot pot street, the shops frequented by locals will definitely not disappoint! 🍜 Shuicheng Mutton Rice Noodles: A must-eat for breakfast! The delicious mutton soup, with soft and glutinous rice noodles and crispy chili peppers, is heartwarming and stomach-warming in one bite~ Add a marinated egg and mutton offal for an even better taste! 🍧 Special Jelly: A summer heat-relieving artifact! The jelly is chewy and smooth, topped with a secret sauce, fried soybeans, and pickled radish. It's sour, spicy, and appetizing, and the whole person feels refreshed after eating it~ 🍚 Glutinous Rice: Savory and delicious glutinous rice, with crispy fried bits, pickled radish, Houttuynia cordata... it's rich in layers in one bite. You can buy it at street shops, and it's super suitable as breakfast or a snack! Tips to avoid pitfalls ⚠️ 1️⃣ Be sure to bring sunscreen, a sun hat, and sunglasses! The ultraviolet rays are really strong! 2️⃣ The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, thick coats and long pants are essential! 3️⃣ The altitude of Wumeng Prairie and Meihua Mountain Scenic Area is relatively high, so those who are not feeling well should prepare medicines in advance 💊 4️⃣ When eating hot pot and mutton rice noodles, the chili peppers are very spicy, so remember to tell them in advance if you can't eat spicy food! Keep this guide and rush to Liupanshui to escape the summer heat, enjoy the flowers, and eat delicious food~ 🚀
