Foreword:

At the end of July, I made a temporary decision to find a place to escape the summer, so I chose Guizhou. After thinking about it, I was not interested in the ancient towns and ancient villages (they were everywhere, with strong commercial flavor and high repetition), so I chose Libo Big and Small Qikong, Huangguoshu, and Fanjing Mountain. Later, when I went to Fanjing Mountain in Tongren, I found that it was very close to Fenghuang Ancient City, so I took some time to visit it, but it was not in the plan.

While walking in Guizhou, I suddenly discovered that both Guiyang and Tongren have high-speed trains to Hangzhou. Forget it, after touring Guizhou, I will stop by Hangzhou (mainly want to go to the West Lake and eat honey lotus roots and Dongpo pork, which I visited many years ago), Yangzhou (I heard that Slender West Lake and Huaiyang cuisine are good), Suzhou (I only visited Qiyuan many years ago, but this time I have to visit all the four major gardens). I originally wanted to visit Nanjing (to see the Presidential Palace and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum) and Huangshan Mountain in Anhui Province on my way back, but after counting the time, I have been out for half a month. If I don't go back now, I won't be able to return to Guangzhou even if I start school. Forget it, next time.

This guide is just a simple record of four aspects: food, accommodation, transportation, and attractions by day. Because everyone's requirements and feelings are different, a brief record is made for reference.

The tour lasted for 15 days, with a family of 3, and the total cost was 17000 yuan (error within 100).

Day 1: Departure (Guangzhou to Libo)

Transportation: I couldn't buy a high-speed rail ticket from Guangzhou to Sandu a week in advance, so I had no choice but to buy a high-speed rail ticket to Duyun. Then the three of them took a taxi from Duyun to Libo Ancient Town for a total of about 200 yuan

Accommodation: Living in an inn in Libo Ancient Town is cheaper than an inn in Da Xiaoqikong. There is a bus to Da Xiaoqikong, which costs 7 yuan/person. Later, it was found that it is actually better to live in a place in the center of Libo Town where there is a No. 11 bus passing by.

Eat: There are a lot of food in the ancient town. Choose your own choice. Recommend the beef noodle shop at the entrance of the ancient town for breakfast, 15 bowls, fresh beef, delicious soup

Day 2: Libo Big and Small Seven Apertures

Transportation: Take bus No. 11 (7 yuan) from the entrance of the ancient town to Da Xiaoqikong. According to the strategy, it is best to enter from the west gate and exit from the east gate. When I went there, I turned it upside down and went uphill. I was exhausted, but the scenery was good.

Accommodation: I returned to the ancient town at around 5 p.m. and stayed in the ancient town. I suddenly realized that if I arrived early on the first day, I should stay near Da Xiaoqikong. Because the ticket is valid for 2 days, I can visit Da Qikong for half a day, and visit Xiao Qikong the next day. It's much easier.

Eat: We had beef powder for breakfast, which was delicious. I bought some steamed buns and eggs and ate them in the scenic spot at noon. I went back to the ancient town and ordered two dishes in the evening. Fish in sour soup, beef in sour soup, and beef in sour soup must be tried.

Attractions: The water in Xiaoqikong is very beautiful, which reminds me of Jiuzhaigou. The two places are very similar and each has its own characteristics, but Xiaoqikong can be close to the water, while Jiuzhaigou can only be watched. In addition, the waterfalls in Xiaoqikong are also beautiful and interesting.

Day 3: Libo to Huangguoshu

Transportation: I bought 3 tickets to Huangguoshu from Libo Station early in the morning, 180 per person. I left after 9 o'clock and arrived at Huangguoshu at nearly 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It's so far [scary]. I chatted with people on the road and found that tickets for Fanjing Mountain had to be obtained three days in advance and completed in 15 minutes. It seemed that there was no hope of going to Fanjing Mountain three days later, so I immediately decided to grab it tomorrow morning. If I couldn't get it, it would be over.

Accommodation: I stayed at Huangguoshu Hongfu Hotel. When I arrived, I found that it was a bit far from the gate of the scenic spot. Later, I found that there are free pick-up buses from the scenic spot more than 500 meters away from the hotel, which is very convenient.

Eat: There are many places to eat on both sides of the road at the entrance of the hotel. You can choose by yourself. I saw many people eating firewood chicken, which is just stewed chicken with firewood. I felt that it was not special and didn't eat it.

Attractions: I didn't visit the scenic spots. Looking back at the scenery on the road from Libo to Huangguoshu, I feel that Libo is actually in a mountain surrounded by clouds and clouds. There are few flat lands. Before tourism was developed, it should have been a place with poor mountains and rivers. On the way, I looked at the mountains in the clouds and mist outside and joked with my children,"Is it like the mountains with monsters in Journey to the West?" Be careful, there are monsters."

Day 4: Huangguoshu Waterfall

Transportation: Take the free shuttle bus to the gate of the scenic spot at around 8 a.m., and then transfer to the shuttle bus to various attractions in the scenic spot to enter the scenic spot. At 2 p.m., I left the scenic spot and went back to the hotel to pick up my luggage. I went back to the entrance of the scenic spot to buy a ticket to Guiyang. It was 60 per person. It took nearly 2 hours to go to Guiyang.

Accommodation: Live near the north of Guiyang to catch the high-speed train.

Eat: The three of them each ate a bowl of flour for breakfast, brought the cakes and water they bought last night, and made lunch. For dinner, we found a snack shop near the hotel in Guiyang and fried 3 dishes and a soup for more than 100 yuan.

Attractions: Huangguoshu has 3 attractions. 1 is the Great Waterfall. Due to the heavy rain in the past few days, Huangguoshu Waterfall has a large flow and is spectacular and worth the ticket price. 2 is Doudoutang Waterfall, where Journey to the West was filmed. It is also very spectacular and good [strong]. 3 is Tianxing Bridge. This is a pit. It was originally not far from the bus stop, but it was designed by the scenic area into a long SB stone road. The feet are not good, so I didn't go there. I suggest that when going to Tianxing Bridge, choose the one on the right when you see the fork road, so that you can avoid the stone road and get closer to Gaolaozhuang.

Day 5: From Guiyang to Tongren

Transportation: I bought a high-speed train to Tongren at around 10 a.m., and I arrived at Tongren at noon.

Accommodation: Live near Tongren Station.

Eat: I have wonton in Guiyang for breakfast, Zunyi beef noodles in Tongren for lunch (not as delicious as Libo's, very average), and I have dinner at a restaurant near the hotel, which is not special.

Attractions: I originally planned to take a bus to Phoenix in the afternoon to see the night view, but later decided to take a day off.

Day 6: Unplanned Fenghuang Ancient City

Transportation: Yesterday I happened to meet a good friend who was back in Tongren to visit relatives. His home is near the hotel. Knowing that we were going to Phoenix, he specially took us to the ancient city of Fenghuang.

Accommodation: Continue to stay in the original hotel

Eating: I had pine peach beef powder for breakfast, which was not as good as Libo's. I had dinner with friends at noon and had dinner downstairs in the hotel. The taste was average. In general, there are not many delicacies in Guizhou. Sour soup, fish and beef should be more distinctive, but many of them have changed their flavor and lost their own characteristics.

Attractions: In the ancient city of Fenghuang, I went to Shen Congwen's former residence, and then walked along the Tuojiang River. I have been thinking, where did the boat chief Shunshun and his family sit and watch the boating during the Dragon Boat Festival in "Border Town"? But on that tower? Where did Cuicui's grandfather lead the boat? Is the tea cave in the book a phoenix?

Day 7: Fanjing Mountain in Tongren

Transportation: Take a bus from Tongren Tourist Bus Station to Fanjing Mountain with your children at 8:30 a.m., and arrive at 10. At 18:30 p.m., I had no car. I spent 80 to catch a ride back to Tongren and arrived at the hotel at 20 o'clock.

Accommodation: Continue to stay in the original hotel

Eating: I was in a hurry. I had instant noodles for breakfast. At noon, I ate the cakes and water bought in the supermarket last night in Fanjingshan. After dinner, I found a random place to eat after returning to Tongren. There was no specialty.

Attractions: Tickets for Fanjing Mountain are not easy to buy. Three days ago, I snatched three tickets, two big and one small. Later, my wife felt that climbing the mountain was too tiring, and heard that there were many people and they had to queue up (actually, it didn't take long). She was afraid of being exposed to the sun, so I chose to refund the ticket and not go. When applying for refunds, I found that the tickets were really difficult to buy, so I only processed refunds on site and did not sell tickets. After entering the door, we first take the shuttle bus for more than 20 minutes to the cable car entrance, and then spend 70 yuan to ride the cable car for 2/3 of the distance for 20 minutes (this is very worth it). Although the remaining part of the road is not far, it is also very tiring. The appointment for Hongyun Jinxiang was very bloody. The QR code for the appointment was on the top of the mountain. I made an appointment at No. 7th and there were still 3 people in front of me. About 3 hours later, I decisively gave up, took a few photos and turned to climb the old Jinxiang. Later, I discovered that the old Jinding is the highest place on Fanjing Mountain. Standing on the old Jinding feels very close to the sky, as if I are in the sky. Along the way, my son was very happy to see the shale that makes up the mountain. He had only seen it in geography textbooks and had never seen much real objects, so he was very excited. When I took the cable car down the mountain at 5 o'clock, many people lined up, and suddenly I received a text message saying that it was my turn to Hongyun Jinding, but I still decided to give up. Sometimes imperfection is also a kind of beauty. In fact, after getting off the cable car, it will be much closer to the Hongyun Jinding by taking the cement staircase on the left, and it will not be so difficult to walk. I only learned this when I went down the mountain.

When I took a taxi back to Tongren City, it was already dark. The car was driving on the dark mountain road. Although there were villages on the roadside, most of them had no lights. Perhaps most of them had gone out to work, which was a depression where people had left and the buildings were empty.

Day 8: Next stop, Hangzhou

Transportation: According to the plan, the high-speed train leaves from Tongren Station at 8:30 in the morning and arrives in Hangzhou at 4:00 in the afternoon, starting the next journey to Hangzhou, Yangzhou and Suzhou. It was 5 p.m. to get to the hotel by taxi and settle in. Ride the Hangzhou Little Red Car with your children (this is good, free) directly to the West Lake.

Accommodation: Accommodation around the West Lake is more expensive. Anyway, Hangzhou Metro is convenient, so I booked a room next to the subway far away from the West Lake.

Eat: I caught the high-speed train in the morning and ate instant noodles. I bought a meal on the high-speed train at noon. It was 70 and the food was still abundant. In the evening, I suddenly encountered heavy rain on the edge of the West Lake. I had dinner at Zhiweiguan on the pedestrian street. I ordered honey lotus root (this is good), stewed duck, smoked fish, fried green vegetables, and water shield soup. Add rice for a total of 155[strong]. I wanted to order Dongpo pork and West Lake vinegar fish, but I couldn't finish it, so I had to next time.

Attractions: There is not enough time today, so I can only take a small walk to the West Lake. I remembered that the West Lake has encountered heavy rain many years ago, and the West Lake has a unique scenery in the rain.

Day 9: West Lake

Transportation: The family of three rode bicycles around the West Lake, but they couldn't ride into the Baidi and Su Causeway. These two places could only be walked.

Accommodation: Continue to stay at the hotel last night

Eat: For breakfast, I ate soy milk, Xiaolongbao (similar to what I usually eat), fried dough sticks, and wontons at the snack shop downstairs of the hotel. There were no specialties. At noon, because I was playing at Sudi, I couldn't go anywhere in the village and no restaurants, so I missed the meal time. There was no special food to eat from Santan Yinyue to the pedestrian street by boat, so I had to make do. We had dinner at a restaurant near the hotel. It was already past 8 p.m. and there was not much to eat. We ordered Longjing shrimp (very light) and 2 ordinary dishes. It seems that Hangzhou is different from Guangzhou. There is nothing to eat after meal time [cover your face].

Attractions: I rode my bike to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal not far from the hotel early in the morning and took a photo. I have been here. After breakfast, I took a taxi to the People's Daily, and then rode and walked around the West Lake. I checked in the ten views of the West Lake, but I missed two (Nanping Evening Bell, Twin Peak Plugging Clouds). In addition, Xiling Seal House, Qiu Jin Tomb, Su Xiaoxiao Tomb, Wusong Tomb, Yuewang Temple, Yu Qian Tomb (this is not easy to find, but it is worth it).

Day 10: Yangzhou

Day 11: Yangzhou Slender West Lake, Suzhou

Day 12: Humble Administrator's Garden, Lion Grove

Transportation: Bus or taxi in Suzhou

Accommodation: Moved to live near the Lingering Garden in the afternoon

Eat: I ate some soy milk, fried dough sticks and eggs near the hotel for breakfast. At 2 p.m. for lunch, I ate the recommended steamed buns and noodles at Xinzhenyuan near the hotel (Xinzhenyuan is a good chain store and tastes good, recommended). I ate it at a snack shop near the Lingering Garden for dinner. The taste was not special.

Attractions: I visited Humble Administrator's Garden in the morning. There are many people and the garden is big. The East Garden is like a big park. The essence lies in the middle garden. The strange flowers and stones are all in the middle garden. The architectural features are also in the middle garden. The West Garden is the master's residence. The characteristics are not obvious.

After coming out of Humble Administrator's Garden, he went to the Lion Grove next to it. There were more strange stones in the garden, most of which looked like lions. Among them, the rocky mountain maze was also cleverly designed. No wonder Qianlong found it so interesting.

In general, I prefer Lion Forest. If time permits, it would be interesting to find the place in Lion Forest where Journey to the West photographed the Country of Daughters.

Day 13: Lingering in the Garden

Day 14: Tiger Hill

Day 15: Canglang Pavilion

Transportation: I took the bus to Canglang Pavilion in the morning, took a ride to Sunan Shuofang Airport in the afternoon, and took the plane back to Guangzhou at 6:35 (I didn't expect the court to be delayed and flew at 9:00)

Accommodation: Going home

Eat: Snacks bought next to the hotel for breakfast;

I went to Ningcuiyuan at noon and ordered two dishes.

I had instant noodles at the airport for dinner.

Attractions: There was still time early, so I took a bus to Canglang Pavilion. Although Canglang Pavilion was not as big or exquisite as the previous gardens, its leaky windows were very beautiful and were his characteristics. The river next to the garden also had its characteristics. Moreover, Canglang Pavilion is the original site of Shen Fu's Six Chapters of a Floating Life. I like the bowl lotus he wrote. The garden is not big and can be swam in an hour or two. If you have time, you can go to the Keyuan opposite door for a walk (I was in a hurry, so I didn't go, but unfortunately [sigh]).
