Introduction: Wang Anshi wrote in "A Journey to Baochan Mountain":"The beauty and beauty of the world often lie in the danger and distance, but people rarely reach them, so those who have aspirations cannot reach them. If you have the will, you will not stop, but if you lack enough strength, you will not be able to reach it. Will and strength, but not laziness, and darkness and confusion without anything to match, cannot achieve it."

Wonders on the dividing line. Wang believes that "the view of extraordinary beauty and extraordinary beauty often lies in danger and distance." This is true. China's famous mountains and rivers, world heritage sites, 5A scenic spots, and diverse ethnic groups are highly concentrated on the dividing line of the three major terrain steps. The first step, mainly plateau above 4000 meters above sea level-boundary line: Kunlun Mountains-Qilian Mountains-Hengduan Mountains--second step, with an altitude of 1,000 - 2,000 meters, mainly plateau and basin-boundary line: Daxing 'anling--Taihang Mountains--Wushan--Xuefeng Mountain--The third step, below 500 meters, mainly plains and hills. Taking the Wuling Mountains located on the boundary between the second and third steps as an example, it is densely concentrated in Wulong, Chongqing, the Tusi Sites in Shennongjia, Enshi, and Xianfeng Tangya in Hubei, Zhangjiajie, Yongshun Laosicheng Sites in Hunan, and Furong Town. -Hongshi Forest, Fenghuang Ancient City, Guizhou Fanjing Mountain and other important cultural and natural wonders, including 6 world heritage sites, 5 5A scenic spots, and 3 world geological parks. Wang believes that to get involved in the "view of extraordinary beauty and extraordinary beauty", one needs to have three conditions: "ambition","strength" and "objects". "Will" is spiritual and will, and "force" and "matter" are material, physical and tools. Today is the right time, so there is a trip to the Wuling Mountains.

Wuling Mountain Ethnic Corridor. The Wuling Ethnic Corridor is a geographical and cultural channel for ethnic migration and flow extending from southwest to northeast along five water systems including the Wuling Mountains and the Yuan River. Its scope is roughly equivalent to the historical Wuling Prefecture and today's Wuling area. Mr. Pan Guangdan believed that the Tujia people had a direct ethnic origin relationship with the ancient Ba people. They were located in the boundary zone from the second step to the third step in our country. They were the dividing line between the Chengdu Plain and the Jianghan Plain. The ancient Ba people were partially integrated into the Han people in the Chengdu Plain. The descendants of the ancient Ba people stranded in the Wuling Mountains have developed relatively independently to this day, forming a Tujia ethnic group. In the Wuling Mountains, the Miao Yao ethnic group that moved south and the Zhuang and Dong ethnic groups that moved west are also merged, mainly meeting in the Miaoling Mountains of Guizhou.

One year later, we continued to travel in the Wuling Mountains and planned to return to Leshan from Chongqing and Hunan around Guizhou.

1. Furong Town, Yongshun.

On August 5, we started our self-driving tour from Leshan, took the Longhan Expressway, entered Chongqing from Zigong and Luzhou, and then subcontracted the Maoming Expressway, entered Hubei. We took the Enqian Expressway and Longji Expressway, and reached Longshan County, Hunan with one foot on the accelerator. The whole journey is more than 740 kilometers.

On August 6, I drove from Longshan, Xiangxi to Furong Town, Yongshun County. Furong Town was once the residence of Peng's Tusi. It is located in a transportation hub and prosperous commerce. It is a typical ancient town in western Hunan. Furong Town has three major characteristics: one is the ancient town located on the waterfall. The Mengdong River stumbled all the way through Furong Town, then jumped off the cliff and merged into the Gan River. The second is that the people live near the water, and the houses are built along the mountains. The layout is compact and the layers are clear. Whenever night falls, the lights of the town are lit up one after another, just like Grandma Tang's bathing center in "Spirited Away". The third is "Liu Xiaoqing"'s rice tofu. A bowl of rice tofu, paired with Xiangxi sour peppers, is so sour that it can't stop. Director Xie Jin once filmed the movie "Furong Town" here. Through the grudges and feud in the town, he portrayed a group of typical characters of the times and told a regrettable story of the times. The male and female protagonists Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing became famous and became popular at that time. Hot film and television stars.

There is a red stone forest near Furong Town, a world geological park. Because of the hot weather, it had to give up.

2. Zhangjiajie

2.1 Zhangjiajie City, Hunan.

Zhangjiajie is one of the most famous tourist areas in China. The main attractions include Tianmen Mountain, Wulingyuan Scenic Area, and Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. Tianmen Mountain's glass plank roads, winding mountains roads, cableways, Yifei, etc. continue to screen screens, making the tourism popularity of Tianmen Mountain soar rapidly and become the most famous attraction in Zhangjiajie. However, in terms of uniqueness, representativeness and worldliness, the most representative scenic spot in Zhangjiajie should be Wulingyuan Scenic Area, and its core part is Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

2.2 Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

From Furong Town, take the provincial highway, enter the Zhanghua Expressway, more than 100 kilometers, arrive near the Zhangjiajie Sign Gate, and stay at Suoxi Shanju Light Luxury Resort Hotel. The hotel is convenient for travel. It takes a few minutes to reach the sign gate by turning right when you go out. Only by entering the park can you extend in all directions and enjoy the forest park. The deluxe queen bed room has the best value for money. The interior layout is reasonable and the decoration is exquisite. Especially the bed is very comfortable. I feel satisfied lying in bed and reading a book beautifully.

The main attractions of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park are the "Three Mountains and Two Valleys". The "Three Mountains" are Tianzi Mountain, Yuanjiajie and Huangshizhai, and the "Two Valleys" are Jinbianxi and Shili Gallery. Suoxi provides us with the best travel route: on the first day, Tianzi Mountain-Yuanjiajie-Shili Gallery; on the second day, Jinbian River-Huangshizhai. Over hundreds of millions of years, it has sunk to the bottom of the sea twice and emerged from the ground twice to form the quartz sandstone peak forest landform of the Forest Park, also known as the "Zhangjiajie Landform". The quartz sandstone in the "Zhangjiajie Landform" is not hard and is easily eroded by running water, wind and plants, and continues to collapse and peel off, thus forming a unique geological wonder of the peak forest. Its development can be roughly divided into three stages: the first stage is the mountain platform, the second stage is the gable wall and stone column, and the third stage is the residual column.

2.3 Tianzi Mountain.

August 7, cloudy. Enter the park from the sign gate and take the free shuttle bus to Tianzi Mountain to reach the Tianzi Mountain Cableway. Transfer to Tianzishan cableway, pass through the peak forest, and reach the mountaintop observation deck. In the early morning, the fog rises, and the peaks and forests appear in the clouds and mist, which has the charm of a beautiful painting. Unfortunately, the clouds and fog cleared in minutes, and the scenery was unobstructed without suspense, which made it less interesting. Looking high and far away, the undulating mountains and magnificent momentum. Villages and towns are scattered among the mountains, giving a lot of fireworks. Take a shuttle bus from the observation deck to Helong Park, where part of Marshal He Long's remains are buried and a bronze statue of him is erected. Being able to rest in such a beautiful place is really the saying that "death has no regrets". "Fairy laying flowers" can be seen in Helong Park. A stone peak is shaped like a fairy, and the vegetation in front of the peak is lush and shaped like a flower basket. It can be seen that "wonderful brushes produce flowers", several stone pillars are closely connected, and vigorous short pines grow between the stone cracks and on the stone pillars, like wonderful brushes produce flowers. It can be seen that "warriors train horses". There is a strange rock protruding from the cliff, shaped like a warrior. In the valley under the cliff, there are countless strange peaks and strange rocks, which can be compared to a war horse tamed by a warrior.

2.4 Yuan Family Realm.

Take the shuttle bus from Helong Park to Yuanjiajie. It is half an hour's journey, and there are still wonderful scenery on the way. Yuanjiajie is the essence of the forest park and a relatively mature "Zhangjiajie Landform". In the wide valley between Yuanjiajie and Huangshi Village, there are hundreds of stone pillars and stone walls in various shapes. It is said that this place was once inhabited by bandits. They used the special terrain and topography to deal with the encirclement and suppression attackers, creating a shocking "magic formation." Mr. Wu Guanzhong once said: "In order to create, I have traveled almost all the famous mountains and rivers." When he came to the Yuanjia boundary, he saw the mist rising in the valley and the strange stone pillars appearing in the mist, like a fairyland on earth. He was deeply shocked, and he created the famous painting "Zhangjiajie". The famous Hollywood director James Cameron accidentally saw the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiajie, especially the "Qiankun Pillar" of the Yuan Family. With an inspiration, he shaped it into the "Pandora Planet·Hallelujah Suspended Mountain" in "Avatar".

2.5 Shili Gallery.

After touring Yuanjia Jie, going down the Bailong Ladder, and reaching the parking lot, it was only past 3 p.m., so I decided to go to Shili Gallery. It takes about 10 minutes to take the shuttle bus to the gallery parking lot. Looking up, you will see "Birthday Star Welcome". This strange peak has been named well. The so-called 10-mile gallery is a canyon between two mountains. It is 10 miles back and forth from the "Shouxing Yingbin"(at the entrance of the scenic area) to the "Three Sisters". The sidewalk runs parallel to the sightseeing train, and there are lush trees and lush on both sides. Strange peaks stand tall on the ridge, with different postures. There are also "Old Herb Picking Man","Index Finger Peak","Peacock Opening Screen", etc., all of which are vivid and full of fun.

2.6 Golden Whip Creek.

August 8, cloudy. Take the shuttle bus from the sign gate and go straight to Jinbian River. Jinbianxi is a long and secluded canyon. It was originally "raised in a boudoir before anyone knew it." The famous painter Mr. Wu Guanzhong came here to sketch. He not only left a wonderful painting, but also wrote a composition to remember it. Jinbianxi is famous for it.

Xikou is surrounded by mountains, the canyon meets the scenic road, and the Zhangjiajie Geopark Museum is established next to the site. Walking upstream along the stream, the terrain is flat, the shade is dense, the air is fresh, and the scenery is pleasant. The stream is gentle and crystal clear, and the small fish in Jinxi swim around in groups, free and without fear of tourists. Some tourists with their families and young children walked along the trail, and the time slowed down; some simply rolled up their trousers, picked up the small net, and went to the stream to catch fish; some watched by the river, cheering for the children who caught fish in the river. Unfortunately, these small fish may seem casual, but they are actually smart. The tourists almost get nothing, just to be happy. The weather is hot, and the monkeys in the mountains gather in the canyons and flutter in the river water. It is interesting. It's just that tourists often feed, and the monkeys gradually don't recognize them and have no fear at all. Some older monkeys actually become rude and snatch food unscrupulously. On both sides of the stream, trees are lush, and the sun shines through the shade of the trees on the ground. The lonely peaks and peak walls stand above the trees, with thousands of shapes and different types. Compared with what you see on the mountain, it is really "when you look across the ridge, you can see the peaks on the sides of the ridge, with different heights and heights. You don't know the true face of Wuling, but you just live in this mountain." Jinbian River is about 5 kilometers away. It enters from the museum, crosses the canyon, and reaches the foot of Huangshi Village, where there are countless strange peaks and strange places. Mountains cannot live without water, and water cannot work without mountains. The mountains and rivers of Jinbian River complement each other and make it interesting. It is really a wonderful place in Zhangjiajie.

2.7 Huangshi Village.

Cross Jinbian River, take the shuttle bus to Huangshizhai Cableway, and take the cableway to Huangshizhai. The scenery of Huangshi Village is not inferior to that of Yuan's family. There is a saying that "if you don't reach Huangshi Village, you will come to Zhangjiajie in vain", but few tour groups come here and few tourists come here. Huangshi Village is a mountain-top platform. You can get the essence of Wulingyuan scenery by walking around the village. The first thing you see is the "front garden", which has the saying of "a reduced fairyland, a magnified bonsai." At that time, tourists were not allowed to sit on the ground on the observation deck. The mountain breeze was gentle and they were in a good mood. Later, I saw the "Five Finger Peak", which stood side by side like five fingers. Next to the "Five Finger Peak" is a "pillar peak", and each pillar is isolated. There are still residual pillars next to the "One Pillar Peak", which are decadent and collapsed. This shows how the peak walls of the "Zhangjiajie Landform" peel off into peak pillars and how the peak pillars disappear. Walking around the village and reaching the "back garden", the Yuan family boundary is not far away. The figure can be seen and the sound can be heard. What you see on both sides is probably the same peak forest, but the scenery is different. Finally, I saw the "Fairy Dispersing Flowers" and returned to the starting point of the cableway.

After visiting Huangshi Village, we walked down the mountain and also came into close contact with the strange peaks and rocks you saw on the mountain. When encountering sisters from Henan tourists and the "Mountain King"(Zhangjiajie Monkey Group) blocking the way, there were many people, and the monkeys did not dare to act rashly and went down the mountain smoothly. Zhangjiajie has no regrets here!

3. Yongshun Lao Si City.

On August 9, we went to Fanjing Mountain in Guizhou as planned to climb the highest peak of Wuling Mountain. Stop by to Laosi City.

The Tusi site is perhaps the most inconspicuous heritage on China's World Heritage List. It includes the Tangya Tusi City Site in Xianfeng, Hubei Province, the Laosi City Site in Yongshun, Hunan Province, and the Hailongtun Site in Zunyi, Guizhou Province. Tusi are a special governance method adopted by the central government in ethnic minority areas in southwest China. Tusi are appointed by the central government and swear loyalty to the central government, but retain local autonomy, similar to a "special administrative region."

From August to February of the fifth year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty (939), Ma Xifan, the monarch of Chu in the south, launched a war against Peng Shichou, a local force in Yongshun. Historically, it was called the "Battle of Xizhou". The Chu army used rockets, causing fires to the houses, fences, and granaries of the village. The flames soared to the sky. Peng Shichou abandoned the village and fled. In the first month of the fifth year of Tianfu (940), Peng Shichou sent his second son Peng Shigao to lead the barbarian chiefs Tian Hongbin, Qin Xingfang, Xiang Cunku, and Luo Junfu to bring brocade, awards, Xizhou seals, and maps to Chu to request surrender. After negotiations, the two sides concluded an alliance and built a copper pillar of Xizhou in Huixiping, Yongshun. Peng Shichou and Chu crossed the river for governance. The south of the Youshui River returned to Chu, and the north of the Youshui River returned to Peng Shichou. The "Xizhou Bronze Pillar" is engraved with the inscription "You can be obedient, I have no corvee, the state taxes rent, and provides for myself, and the local soldiers will not be forced to work. There will never be any fear of golden Ge, and we will protect the industry of mulberry farming." These words indicate that the central government (Chu) recognized Peng's local power and granted autonomy, and the Tusi system began to be established. As a result, Peng's Tusi began to rule the Yongshun area in Hunan Province for hundreds of years until the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty,"changing the land and returning to the flow". Lao Sicheng has witnessed the rise and fall of the Tusi system over decades and hundreds of years.

Laosi City is backed by green mountains, with mountains as screens. Lingxi River passes around the city, with water as a barrier. There are both mountain roads and waterways that can be reached, and water and land meet. It was once a "giant town of five streams and a border city of thousands of miles." The Tusi system has been abolished for a long time, and the glory of Peng's family has long disappeared. Now only the ruins are left. As the saying goes,"Dancing on the singing stage, romance is always blown away by the rain and the wind." The former royal palace, yamen, streets, towers, ancestral temples, city walls... can only be vaguely discerned based on signs. Walking through the ruins, I can only see "the success or failure of the matter has been turned, the mountains and rivers are still there, and the sunset is red several times." It is sad. On the bank of Lingxi River, several small boats are waiting for the travelers. The sun is strong at noon, and the shade of the trees leaves the dock cool. The bored boatman unconsciously takes a nap. The local children are having fun, writhing under the boat.

4. Fanjing Mountain.

On the evening of August 9, I finally made a detour and arrived at the foot of Fanjing Mountain.

On August 10, we climbed Fanjing Mountain. The so-called "climbing" was actually inappropriate. Cars and cableways took us directly to the top of the mountain. It is the peak tourist season for Fanjing Mountain, and tickets are booked in advance, so Fanjing Mountain is almost stuck in the middle of our itinerary. This feeling is very uncomfortable. For example, if you arrive at Fenghuang in the evening on August 9, you can spend the night before leaving. Unfortunately, the Fanjing Mountain booked on August 10 is difficult to change.

"Since ancient times, there have been many monks in famous mountains." Fanjing Mountain is a "famous Buddhist mountain" and a "Maitreya Taoist temple" with a strong religious atmosphere. The diversity of animals and plants and the uniqueness and representativeness of the geological structure allow it to be included in the "World Heritage" list.

At 10:00 a.m., check in and enter the mountain. Take the shuttle bus to the cableway entrance. The mountain road is narrow and it is very difficult for two cars to cross the road. It took about half an hour to turn around and turn upside down. The cableway is located about halfway up the mountain. The mountains are lush with lush vegetation and clouds. The houses are covered with moss, and the eaves are dripping with fog. The cableway runs through the clouds and mist.

At noon, the mountain was also filled with clouds and mist. Alpine cold bamboos and rhododendrons grow on both sides of the trail. The cold bamboos look greener. The rhododendrons are covered with moss, and the moss hangs with rain beads, which are crumbling. Everything you see, smell, touch, and breathe is all wet and clean as if you have just washed it. This is the foundation of Fanjing Mountain. Its original appearance is something that people do not want to know or visit.

After about half an hour, I finally climbed to the "mushroom stone". The fog gathered and became denser and denser. Gradually, the thick clouds gathered into rain and fog. It started to rain, and the "old golden roof" at the high place and the "red cloud golden roof" at the low place were shrouded in rain and fog. I was secretly worried that Fanjing Mountain was probably going to return in disgrace. Anyway, just climb the "Red Cloud Golden Summit" in the rain! Put on a raincoat, cover your backpack, and stride down the mountain...

Hundreds of millions of years ago, mountain orogeny caused Fanjing Mountain to bulge from the seabed and reach into the sky. The "red cloud and golden roof" protrudes from the ridge, standing tall and overlooking the mountains. The rain was still falling, and the fearless and dangerous tourists climbed carefully to the top of the mountain step by step. Some roads were almost 90 degrees vertical, and some roads had to be drilled through gaps in the rocks. Climbing to the mountainside for a short rest, I suddenly realized that the rain had stopped, the clouds and mist in the valley were slowly dissipating, the lush vegetation gradually revealed, the "old golden roof" in the high place slowly revealed its true appearance, and the white temple was vaguely visible. However, the mysterious Fanjing Mountain still "still hides its face half by hugging the pipa". Fortunately, by chance, I finally met half of it. Pulled up the courage and spirit, continued to climb, and climbed to the golden summit in one breath. The most unique thing is that the top of the mountain was suddenly split in two like a knife. The overpass connected the two ends and merged into one. Two small white temples stand on the top of a high mountain. The walls are mottled and peeled off in the sun and rain. Who are the worshipers in the temples? The oil lamp was dim and unknown. (It is said that there is a temple built on each side, worshipping Sakyamuni Buddha on one side and Maitreya Buddha on the other.) The fog rolled over again, leaving only the vast expanse beyond the Golden Summit. After waiting for more than half an hour, the fog never dissipated, and finally gave up and slowly went down the mountain. Perhaps this is the charm of Fanjing Mountain, attracting people to come here again and again, but they are not completely satisfied again and again.

Going down to "Pudu Square", I saw the clouds slowly dissipating, and the "red cloud and golden roof" clearly presented in front of me: the mountain peak is about 100 meters high, like a jade pillar that rises to the sky, like a dragon going out to the sea, like a summer bamboo shoot breaking the ground, handsome, straight, majestic and magnificent, making people can't help but sigh at the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature. While he was surprised, the fog rose rapidly, spreading from the valley to the ridge, gradually wrapping the "red cloud and gold roof". Finally, I saw the top overpass and temple high above, like a fairyland or a celestial palace. In an instant, they also disappeared into the clouds and mist, leaving only chaos. It only took a few dozen seconds to go from the clouds to the clouds and mist.

From the "Mushroom Stone" on "Purdu Square", read the "Ten Thousand Volumes of Books" and continue to climb the "Old Golden Top". Although the "Old Golden Top" is not as magnificent as the "Red Cloud Golden Top" from a distance, climbing is no less interesting than the "Red Cloud Golden Top". The "Old Jinding" is also sometimes filled with clouds and clouds, and sometimes the clouds open and the fog disperse, like an "old urchin". Climbing to the top of the mountain, I saw a stone tablet engraved with "2494 meters" and a white temple, in which a golden Buddha statue was enshrined. I don't know who it was (it is said to be Sakyamuni Buddha). Looking at the "Red Cloud Golden Top" not far away, the clouds and mist have dissipated several times, and we can only see its exquisiteness and feel different.

Sometimes the clouds open and the fog disperse, or the clouds fill, or it is half hidden and half open. Fanjing Mountain is unpredictable throughout the day. Fortunately, all its different forms can be seen. This trip was really worth it.

5. Hailongtun, Zunyi.

On August 11, we traveled nearly 200 kilometers from Jiangkou to Zunyi to visit Hailongtun.

Hailongtun is located in the suburbs of Zunyi. It is a famous military fortress in the Ming Dynasty and a "world cultural heritage".

In the third year of Qianfu of the Tang Dynasty (876 AD), Yang Duan, the ancestor of the Yang family in Bozhou, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, led his troops to recover and take charge of Bozhou (now Zunyi), in order to start stationing troops in Longya Mountain. In the 24th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty (1596 AD), Yang Yinglong, the 29th Tusi of the Yang Dynasty, mobilized 80,000 slave craftsmen and spent 4 years expanding the castle and palace on the basis of Longyatun built by his ancestors. There were 12 checkpoints in front and back, and a huge fortress was built on mountains within 5 square kilometers. The buildings are all built with a thousand-pound boulder. The city gates are inlaid with the names of the gates. Arrow towers are built on the gates. There are warehouses, barracks, and water prisons in the city, and stone walls are connected between the gates. In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty (1599), Yang Yinglong, the envoy of Xuanwei of Bozhou, raised troops to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. The court urgently dispatched 240,000 troops to encircle and suppress them in eight routes. The following year (1600), Hailongtun was defeated and Bozhou was pacified. Yang Yinglong hanged himself. It lasted 114 days and was known in history as the "Battle of Pingbo." After that, the Ming government realized the "transformation of land and return to flow" of Bozhou, abolished the Tusi of Bozhou, and was managed by the central government. The century-old rule of the Yang Tusi in Zunyi area ended, and Hailongtun gradually became deserted, leaving ruins.

Although Hailongtun is only left with ruins and broken walls, climbing Hailongtun now can you imagine the strong local strength of the Yang's chieftain, the exquisite military deployment, and the 114-day bloody battle of the Golden Ge and Iron Horse. Taking the sightseeing "small train" from Hailongtun Visitor Center to Hailongtun Ruins Park is about 5 kilometers and takes more than 10 minutes.

Hailongtun Fortress started from "Tiezhu Pass" and "Tongzhu Pass", then went up to "Ximating" and came to "Feihu Pass". "Flying Tiger Pass" is a dangerous place and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The steps are as high as 0.6 meters and the slope is about 50 degrees. One step requires more than 1 meter to climb before one can climb. With the scorching sun above my head, climbing with bare hands is already very arduous. How difficult it would have been for the Ming army to conquer this pass back then. As the saying goes,"One man is at the pass, but no ten thousand people can open it!" After passing the "Flying Tiger Pass" and going up for about 1 kilometer, it is the "Flying Dragon Pass" again. The steps in front of the pass have been destroyed, and half of the pass has collapsed, leaving behind the vicissitudes of history in the place. About 1 kilometer further up is the "Chaotian Pass". The so-called "Chaotian Pass" means returning to the Ming Dynasty. Above "Chaotian Pass" is "Feifeng Pass". It's really like passing through every pass, and every pass is a lock, with defenses everywhere. After crossing the "Feifeng Pass", the terrain gradually leveled off and gradually entered the command center of Hailongtun: the "New Palace" and the "Old Palace". The "old palace" has long been destroyed and weeds are overgrown. The "New Palace" only left the foundation, based on which the previous architectural pattern was barely identified. Looking at the vague historical mark in front of me and thinking about the gold and silver objects unearthed from the Yang's tomb in Bozhou, collected by the Guizhou Province Museum, I am filled with emotion and inexplicable melancholy.

If you continue to walk, you can still reach the "Wengcheng" and exhaust this military barrier. However, the weather is hot and the journey is long, so you have to return. Deguan the main defense relics of Hailongtun Military Fortress, the cost is about

6. Zunyi Conference Site.

On the morning of August 12, we visited the Zunyi Conference site.

Anyone who knows a little about modern Chinese history knows about the Zunyi Conference. In October 1934, the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army led by the Communist Party failed in the fifth counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Red Army were forced to relocate, and other Red Army forces from various walks of life also relocated. The Kuomintang regime organized heavy sieges and made it extremely difficult for the Red Army to transfer. At the beginning of 1935, the Central Red Army occupied Zunyi, an important town in Guizhou, and held an enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau. This was the Zunyi Conference. The meeting affirmed Mao Zedong's military proposition, relieved Bogu, Li De and others of military command, and handed over military power to a three-person group composed of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Wang Jiaxiang, which in fact established Mao Zedong's core leadership position in the central government. The "Resolution on Certain Historical Issues" wrote: "Thus, the broad masses of cadres and party members who opposed the 'Left' line united under the leadership of Comrade Mao Zedong. As a result, in January 1935, at the enlarged Political Bureau meeting of the Central Committee held in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province under the leadership of Comrade Mao Zedong, the rule of the 'Left' line in the Party Central Committee was successfully ended and the party was saved at the most critical moment. The Zunyi Conference concentrated its efforts on correcting the decisive military and organizational mistakes at the time, which was completely correct. This meeting began the new leadership of the Central Committee headed by Comrade Mao Zedong and was the most historic change within the Chinese party."

The site is a two-story building with a brick-wood structure and gray bricks. It was built in the 1930s and was originally the private residence of Bai Huizhang, a Guizhou warlord and commander of the Second Division of the 25th Army of the Guizhou Army.

Most of the tourists who come here are middle-aged and elderly people who are full of respect for the revolution. They put on Red Army uniforms, posed as a model opera, and took a group photo in front of the site. There were also some young girls dressed up as Red Army women and passing past me with two thick and black pigtails.

7. Chishui Danxia.

On August 12, when I returned to the hotel from the Zunyi Conference site, I drove to Chishui. The recent heavy rain caused landslides and road blockages. After driving along the Rongzun Expressway for about an hour, after passing Huairen, I was forced to get off the expressway in Xishui and was almost close to Chishui City before I could return to the Rongzun Expressway.

Stay at the Hanting Hotel, which I have always loved, and eat the "Chishui Chief Examiner".

On August 13, after breakfast, visit the "Sidonggou". The so-called caves in Chishui are not caves, but waterfalls. The "Sidonggou" scenic area consists of four waterfalls with their own characteristics: Shuilian Cave, Moon Cave, Flying Frog Cave, Bailong Cave. It began to rain on the evening of August 12, and stopped in the early morning of the 13th. The river water rose sharply, making the waterfall even more majestic.

Water Curtain Cave. Go to the Sidonggou Scenic Area Visitor Center and take the shuttle bus to the entrance of the scenic area. The mountain road is gentle and the water is rapid, like a yellow dragon rushing out of the mountain, desperate for its life. After walking for about 20 minutes, I heard a roaring sound. Through the dense trees, I could vaguely see a waterfall jumping down from the cliff. This was the Water Curtain Cave. The river water has soared and the amount of water has increased significantly. As we approach Shuilian Cave, the waterfall seems to have a powerful force, throwing boiling water mist and rolling towards our face. There was originally a road behind the waterfall, and the water was like a curtain. Unfortunately, I was scared away just standing next to the waterfall today. How could I dare to walk behind the water curtain?

Moon Cave. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the Water Curtain Cave to the Moon Cave. The waterfall is only a few meters high and forms an arc. The pool under the waterfall also forms an arc, forming a crescent moon, hence the name Moon Cave.

Flying Frog Cave. It takes about 20 minutes to walk all the way from the Moon Cave to the Flying Frog Cave. After the new rain, the trees are green, the air is fresh, the terrain is gentle, and the rivers are no longer impatient, murmuring. Unconsciously, I arrived at the Flying Frog Cave. A huge rock above the waterfall is like a frog with strong feet and about to jump. Its huge body divides the waterfall in two. The poor frog seemed to be pulled by two waterfalls and couldn't even jump.

Bailong Cave. The road is still smooth and effortless. On the cool and humid river bank, for 10,000 years, Alsophila spinulosa trees have been growing in twos and threes, like green umbrellas. I could hear the roar of a waterfall not far away, but I saw a snow-white waterfall. He made a small turn along the cliff and saw a waterfall flying down from the cliff dozens of meters long. It was majestic and the mist soared into the sky and shook the valley. This was the last hole: "Bailong Cave". Walking on the stone pier in front of the waterfall, water vapor came in waves, and in an instant, my whole body became moist. After passing the stone pier, the water vapor seems to chase you, forcing you to trot. Looking back again, it is a bit charming, and perhaps it is called the "White Dragon Cave" because of this.

Chishui Danxia has many scenic spots. I personally think that the "Sidonggou" ranks first. The four waterfalls in the "Sidonggou" have their own characteristics. The "Bailong Cave" and "Shuilian Cave" are the most beautiful.

I returned to Leshan on August 13, and the journey was smooth for nine days. Ctrip and Gaode maps provide great convenience. Special thanks to Zhangjiajie Suoxi Shanju Light Luxury Resort for its excellent service and the preferential tourism policies of Guizhou Province.
