    The Old Golden Summit and the Red Cloud Golden Summit are worth climbing, although it's tiring, the scenery is quite unique. Seeing the cloud-shrouded peaks requires a bit of luck. Generally speaking, it's best to climb the Red Cloud Golden Summit early, as the path is narrow, allowing only one person at a time, and quite steep. If the person in front is too tired and needs rest, those behind can't overtake and will have to wait. Too many people can easily cause traffic jams.

    It was a very satisfying trip. Transportation was convenient; we took the Huangguoshu Tourist Area shuttle bus. There are also shuttle buses within the Huangguoshu scenic area to take you to the attractions. Everything was very convenient, and it was a very enjoyable trip.

    With its magnificent mountains, emerald waters, and stunning waterfalls, Xiaoqikong is a place of breathtaking beauty. Walking upstream along the Xiangshui River, breathing in the fresh air and listening to the melodious sound of the water, you'll find scenery at every turn. The enchanting Xiaoqikong Bridge, the ethereal Laya Waterfall, the majestic Cuigu Waterfall, and the wondrous Natural Bridge are all captivating. Xiaoqikong truly deserves its reputation as an emerald on Earth's belt.

    All the ancient cities, towns, villages, and fortresses are pretty much the same. A river runs through the village, and it's very lively at night. I think the management of the scenic area is quite mature compared to others.

    This cave would definitely be more fun if there weren't so many people. This is the largest cave I've ever been to; everyone cheered when we finally saw the exit. It's also very scenic; even though I've seen so many caves before, I was still amazed.

    Qingyan Ancient Town was an important military stronghold during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Founded in the eleventh year of the Hongwu reign (1378), it boasts over 600 years of history and evolved from a mountainous military fortress. The streets and alleys are paved with stone, and the residences also feature stone walls, counters, and courtyards, showcasing Ming and Qing architectural styles. It's worth a stroll and a visit. You can try the local delicacies, such as tofu balls, ice jelly, and pig's feet. If you have time, be sure to climb the city walls.

    Yelang Valley isn't a large scenic spot, but it's remarkable how meticulously crafted it is. I have great respect for the dedication and hard work of the veteran artisans who created these many adorable stone sculptures. The entrance fee is reasonable, the scenery is beautiful, and it's definitely worth a visit.

    Wanfenglin is a must-see attraction. We entered the park around 4 PM before sunset, and the scenery was like a traditional Chinese ink painting. We looked at it again and again; its beauty is beyond words. The sightseeing bus was excellent; you could listen to the explanations while stopping at designated points to admire the scenery. It was a very pleasant experience.

    When you come to Guizhou, you must experience China's strength up close. Take a 30-minute shuttle bus to the core area of ​​FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope), where the super telescope is right before your eyes. It's the world's first, a testament to our powerful motherland! The FAST scenic area also has many science education and experience halls, including the Nan Rendong Memorial Hall, where you can pay tribute to the father of China's FAST telescope!
