Many tourists know that the provincial capital of Guizhou is Guiyang City, but do you know why it is called "Guiyang"? This is because it is located in the mountainous basin of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It rains all year round and never gets sunny for three days. Sunlight is very precious.

Compared with Anshun, Tongren, Qiandongnan, Qiannan and other prefecture-level cities and autonomous prefectures, Guizhou’s tourist attractions are not very well-known, but if you spend some time walking around this city, you will find many scenic spots. The background is very good.

Guiyang’s more distinctive cultural scenic spots are concentrated in Huaxi District. The chief scenic spot is Qingyan Ancient Town, which is the first and currently only 5A scenic spot in Guiyang. It is also one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou.

Qingyan Ancient Town was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. The buildings here retain the classical style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The stone roads in the ancient town are paved along gentle hills. The main street is Ming and Qing Street, which connects the North City Gate and Dingguang Gate. There are many shops along the way, mainly specialty shops, clothing stores and boutiques. , the most distinctive of which is the gourmet food store, which sells very distinctive Qingyan pig trotters.

Ming and Qing Street is divided into two sections, the north and the south. The scenic spots along the northern section include Longquan Temple, the former residence of Zhao Yizhong, Chuanzhu Temple, etc. The main scenic spots on the south street include Qingyan Christian Church, Zhao Lilun Centenary Square, etc. .

Zhao Yizhong’s former residence is located in Zhuangyuan Street, an extension of North Mingqing Street. It was built by Zhao Lilun and consists of one or two courtyards to form a large building complex. The reason why Zhao Yizhong's former residence has become a cultural relic protection unit is that firstly, this classical building complex is exquisite and elegant, representing the higher level of classical architecture in Guizhou. Secondly, the former owner Zhao Yizhong was the first number one scholar in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and was the first scholar in Guizhou. A legend.

Zhao Yizhong’s former residence retains many classical cultural relics. The most distinctive one is the bedroom, where the wooden furniture is very finely carved.

Compared with Qingyan Ancient Town, another legendary scenic spot in Huaxi District is much less famous, but the scenery inside does not follow conventional routines at all.

This scenic spot is Yelang Valley.

Yelang Valley is located in a small canyon at the foot of Doupeng Mountain in Huaxi District, Guiyang. The designer is artist Song Peilun. He uses advanced and abstract expressions to show visitors the customs of the ancient Yelang Kingdom more than 2,000 years ago.

When we walked to the core tourist area of ??the scenic spot, we saw various stone pillars spreading from the valley and river to the top of the mountain. These stone pillars were built with human face patterns on them. They had different expressions, as if they were savages in the mountains. , and like an elf in the jungle.
