    [View] Qingyan Ancient Town, this 600-year-old Ming Dynasty military fossil, only half an hour's drive from Guiyang. [Fun] Walking around it, it seems to travel through time and space. There are not only ancient city walls, temple pavilions, but also specialties, such as Zhuangyuan Hoof, rose ice powder, etc. [Cost-effective] But the ancient town is more commercialized, and there are many people congested on holidays.

    The scenery in the south is similar. Anyway, the mountains are full of trees and grass, and they basically don't know it. Those who like monkeys can go and see it, because there are really many, this road has not been seen, and there may be many on both sides of the other road. I heard that there was a panda, there were too many people in the summer vacation, and I didn't squeeze in at the door, so I came out. Foreign tourists have no special tourist goals to go shopping, and sit and rest in the shade when they are hot. If you rush to see a special scenery, it is still... consider it again.

    I came here for the big swing. The weather was not very good that day, so the photos were not so clear. Overall, I was not tired. After jumping on the swing, there was a distance to climb up, which was all stairs, so it was a bit tiring.

    This is my second time bringing my kids here. As they are happy, I am happy too. During the rafting process, I found that the safety measures here are sufficient. My two kids floated ahead of me and I arrived safely at the destination.
