In the Spring Festival of p>2114, after carefully studying the map of China, we finally chose a little-known tourist destination-Qiandongnan. Perhaps many people are unfamiliar with Guizhou, and it belongs to the more backward one among the relatively backward southwest provinces. In terms of travel resources, Zhangjiajie Phoenix is famous in the east, Yangshuo in Guilin is the best in the world in the south, Lijiang in Dali is the myth of petty bourgeoisie in the west, and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in the north has a long history. However, due to this angle, it is not noticed by more people in the southeast of Guizhou. In fact, this is the cultural dream of mountain provinces, Miao, Yao and Shui. Different nationalities and different languages are destined to make this place a place where cultures blend, and the Spring Festival should be the most lively moment here. It is much more interesting to choose to spend the New Year in a minority village than in a city with many tall buildings.

First of all, let's talk about the route design. Originally, we only planned to take Qiandongnan, but later we found that there was plenty of time, so we finally took Qiandongnan+Qiannan Great Ring Road: Zhenyuan Ancient City-Kaili (Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village)-Liping (Longli Ancient City, Zhaoxing Dong Village)-Congjiang (Basha Miao Village)-Libo (Da, Seven Small Arches)-

1. Zhenyuan

Zhenyuan was chosen as the first stop of this trip, because it is the most accessible place in southeastern Guizhou. Other ancient towns, Miao Village and Dong Village only have access to highways, while Zhenyuan is a city located along the railway. Zhenyuan may not be so well-known in China, but it is famous in Guizhou, ranking first among the four ancient towns in Guizhou, and the other three are Guiyang Qingyan, Chishui Bing 'an and Jinping Long.

There is no direct train from Beijing to Zhenyuan, not because it doesn't pass through this railway, but because Zhenyuan Station is too small, and all the trains starting with the T don't stop, so you have to change to the train starting with the K at Yuping or Kaili. Fortunately, K65 from Guangzhou was not delayed when transferring at Yuping, so you got on the next train without leaving the station and arrived at Zhenyuan Station at 8 o'clock.

It's three kilometers from the railway station to the ancient city. 5 yuan takes a taxi alone, but it's recommended to walk there, because the road will pass Zhou Dawen's former residence and Heping Village. Zhou Dawen's former residence was not noticed when he passed by, so he only went to Heping Village, which was a Japanese prison camp during World War II. The * * * production party brainwashed hundreds of Japanese soldiers here, and the classrooms, auditoriums, dormitories, kitchens and vegetable fields were well preserved. In fact, the Japanese who came here were really lucky. They ate and drank without fighting, and all of them were repatriated in 45 years.

It's not far from the ancient city after the Heping Village. The ancient city is located by the dancing water, which is different from the ancient towns in Jiangnan or Sichuan-Shaanxi style. The town is far from high-rise buildings, and four or five-storey brick and wood buildings are arranged by the dancing water. Seen from the bridge, it can be said that it is different.

The central area of the ancient city is built on the mid-mountain, which combines the layout of Jinzhong Courtyard with the architectural features of Sichuan-Shaanxi Folk Houses. Now we see small courtyards, but it is rare that they have not changed their business and maintained their original work and rest life. In addition to the ancient city, there are three old buildings in the ancient town: Zhusheng Bridge, Qinglong Cave and Tianhou Palace. Zhusheng Bridge was nothing novel, but a Kuixing Pavilion was built on the bridge, which is said to be related to the champion. It is really beautiful. After crossing Zhusheng Bridge, you can reach Qinglong Cave, an ancient architectural complex that sticks to the wall in the Ming Dynasty. It is naturally built according to the mountain. If you don't want to worship Confucius, you can not go in, and you can enjoy the overall location in the ancient town. Tianhou Palace is not located in the central area of the ancient city, but only a small palace, where Mazu is worshipped, which is related to the water transportation of dancing water. Wherever there is water transportation, Mazu is blessed. There is also a good place in Zhenyuan-Shiping Mountain, the foot of which is the central area of the ancient city. When you climb from afar, you can see the panoramic view of Zhenyuan, and there is a trick to climb Shiping Mountain. If you climb from the main entrance of Shiping Mountain in the town, you need to buy tickets, but Fuxing Lane and Sifang Well Lane in the central area of the ancient city lead to the back mountain, so you don't have to buy tickets from there. If you are not sure about the route, just ask the locals. Everyone goes up the mountain like that.

In Zhenyuan, the most famous is probably its night scene. The colored lights on Zhusheng Bridge and the houses with lanterns hanging on both sides of the new bridge are still reflected in the dancing water in clear or changing colors. At dusk, Zhenyuan shows its quiet and solemn beauty.

Summary of practical information:

Transportation:

The town is far along the railway, but the expressway is far away from the town, so the railway is more convenient;

Zhenyuan-the ancient city is 3 kilometers walk, and one person takes a taxi to 5 yuan;

Tickets:

Heping Village, free of charge, with ID card to get tickets;

Zhenyuan Museum, free of charge, with ID card to get tickets;

Accommodation:

It is more convenient to live in the ancient city. The proprietress of Fuyuan Inn, where we stayed, is very enthusiastic. Because it is the off-season, the waterfront room is only 81, and there is a swing on the balcony. Tel: 1821 2446291,1518 529569;

Snacks:

The food in the ancient city is still relatively simple, and it is basically a small shop that makes flour. There is a "Miao family's homemade flour" that is delicious. I ate three meals of flour in Zhenyuan that day. This one is the best, and 8 yuan has a bowl;
