    I got a rainy day full of fog but I must say that it definitely worth anyway and the energy of the place is unique. After all, the rules are from nature. And to deal with it has its own value. I will try a clean weather another time!

    The scenic area is very huge. You should spend full day here to able to explore the whole area. The Water Curtain Cave is a must to go place. My route is Huangguoshu Grand Waterfall, then Tianxingqiao, and the last one Doupotang Waterfall

    The scenery is stunning! The chartered sightseeing bus, which allows two entries and exits, is fantastic and user-friendly! 👍🏻 I went there two mornings in a row. Monday, August 9th, was even more crowded than Sunday. What a joke! The Xiaoqikong Bridge and Wolong Pond were overcrowded with people snapping photos for social media, which was a distraction for landscape photographers and ruined the experience. It would be great if the scenic area implemented a time-limited photo session. Bali's limited-time photo session is a success, thanks to the sheer number of social media influencers. It's worth considering!

    Hong Kong and Macau residents cannot use QR codes for entry; they need to exchange them for physical tickets at the local ticket office. The ticket includes four sightseeing bus rides (at least two will be needed, as the first ride from the entrance gate is from "West Gate" to "Changxiao Station," and the second ride is from "Changxiao" to "Viewing Platform No. 1" or to the last stop, "Wind and Rain Bridge No. 1"). This attraction is definitely worth a visit 🤣; you could easily spend more than two days there.

    Less than 2hours ride from Yan'an bus station. Beautiful place. Worth visiting. The only disappointment is that the toilet is not as clean as other 5A tourist spots in China.

    [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.

    We went when we were preparing to grow rice after harvest. It should be when the scenic spot is not cost-effective, but it is still good. I lived in Huina Village. I rented an electric car at night to run the scenic spot. Go to the entrance of the scenic spot to eat sour soup and sour stew. Beef, so delicious, we ate two meals in this house. 😋😋😋

    I'd long heard about the impressiveness of China's Sky Eye, and my personal visit certainly didn't disappoint. I especially want to praise the scenic area's guided tours. I was worried I wouldn't understand much on my own, but joining a group tour was surprisingly convenient. We could just get together and go, and it was incredibly cost-effective. Our group's guide, Xiao Qiu, was particularly impressive. Her explanations were professional and engaging. Not only did she clearly explain the construction process and technical principles of the Sky Eye, she also interspersed many anecdotes about the researchers, which was incredibly engaging. She patiently answered any questions we had, even using practical analogies to help us understand complex astronomical concepts.

    The stockade is not big, you can finish shopping in half a day, in addition to taking pictures, you can also experience non-legacy batik, eat sauerkraut fish, beef noodles, glutinous rice bun barbecue, there is a welcome ceremony at the gate of Dongzhai at 10 am and 4 pm every day, and the evening bonfire party is also worth seeing. There are Dai dances and Dai songs. I went in winter and sent a bowl of delicious and beautiful Dongzhai oil tea, and the special refrigerator sticker is a small and exquisite silver jewelry, so look good
