    Fortunately, I went to Yamugou at the end of May last year. I am also a native of Guizhou, so my evaluation is also worth learning from. The water here will "talk". The shoal can be played barefoot, the cold mountain springs overflowing the ankles, as if the summer heat has washed away; sitting by the deep pool, listening to the roar of the running water hitting the rock, occasionally seeing the trace of wild doll fish. Locals often say "Yamu returns without looking at the water". Indeed, the water quality here is clear enough to drink directly, holding a cup of the entrance, sweet with the atmosphere of the mountains. It is recommended that you: 1. It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes, the trail is slippery but the whole process is gentle, and the elderly and children can easily ride it; ​ 2. You can play in the waterfall area, prepare laundry and waterproof mobile phone bags; ​ 3. Avoid the noon sun, and add a little fairy gas to the Yamugou in the morning or evening; ​ 4. The farmhouse sour soup fish at the exit of the scenic spot must be tasted. The tofu is made with mountain spring water, which is so tender that it can be melted in your mouth. If you are tired of the commercialization and want to find a place in Guizhou to really relax your body and mind, Yamugou will tell you with its landscape and humanities: this is the "Guizhou first ditch" in the local people.

    There's a scenic spot in Zhusha Ancient Town called "That Era." It depicts events from the 1960s and 1970s. At first, I was puzzled by the strangely dressed people I kept encountering. Then, when I ran into a couple getting married, I realized they were all actors! Hahaha. I have to give a thumbs-up to these actors, because I didn't realize they were actors. There's also a sign in the scenic area with multiple meanings: "Follow the Days Forward." It was very touching, because the only person who can truly heal yourself is yourself.

    I took the high-speed train from Guiyang to Tongren, and I felt like I was going to faint from the heat when I got off the bus. It cost 45 yuan to take a taxi from Tongren, and the driver said we could play for an hour, so we agreed that the driver would wait for us at the scenic spot, and we would take his car after the tour. It took 20 minutes to take the sightseeing car from the entrance of the scenic spot, and then there were 700 meters, and steps, to reach the entrance of the cave. It was so hot that I wanted to faint. But when I got close to the entrance of the cave, the cool air on my face made me feel alive. The cave is very large and spectacular, and it makes people feel the power of a long time. We wandered around for three hours, and the online taxi driver felt that he had lost a lot. With one ticket, I climbed the mountain outside and visited the cave in the belly of the mountain. It was buy one get one free, worth it.

    This is a favorite travel destination! It not only has a large water park, but also mid-mountain hot springs, hot spring villas, and two entire buildings of family rooms. Not only do the rooms have a wide variety of room types, but the amenities are also great. They now even offer a hot spring children's camp. This is truly family-friendly! My kids love it here. They find the activities plentiful and fun. Transportation is also excellent, making it very convenient to drive. Chongqing is a 300-kilometer highway drive, though taking the train is a bit more cumbersome. I love it and would definitely take my kids there again.

    I went back to Shiqian twice during the summer vacation and went to soak in the hot springs both times. Due to time constraints, we went at night. The lighting effect was very beautiful. We also had some surfing fun. It was a great experience and I was very happy. I hope the hot springs in my hometown will get better and better.

    This plan Yungui self-driving tour, it took half a month from mid-April to return before the May 1st holiday, but the result was still because of the time, did not wait to go to Yunnan to arrive on May 1st, do not want to holiday to join the lively May 2 all the way to the road nearly 700 kilometers back to the house. According to the route, I have walked through Xiangyang Ancient City, Gulongzhong, Changde Taohuayuan, Zhangjiajie, Furong Town, Phoenix Ancient City, Tongrenzhong South Gate Ancient Street, Tongcheng Wanshan Zhusha Ancient Town, Qianhu Miao Village in Southwest Guizhou, Anshun Gujie Old City, Huanggushu Waterfall, Guiyang Jiaxiu Building, The former site of the Zunyi Conference, Fanjing Mountain, and another night tour through Tongren, Zhongnanmen Ancient Street, Enshi Daughter City, and the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area, then ran home all the way. The most impressive of these attractions is Tongren City. Although I didn't wander around the city, I lived in Tongren Bijiang District. The surrounding Zhongnanmen Ancient Street, Jinjiang Night View is also very enjoyable. I went to Anshun and passed by the ancient town of Zhusha in Tongren Wanshan District. When I came back, I climbed Fanjing Mountain from the west gate of Zunyi. 1, Tongren Zhongnanmen Ancient Street: Tongren Zhongnanmen Ancient Street is located in Bijiang District, Tongren City, Guizhou Province, is a relatively intact historical and cultural district in Tongren's main city, and is also a witness to Tongren's long history. Zhongnanmen Ancient Street is named after the south gate of Tongren Ancient City. It was once the political, economic and cultural center of Tongren during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ancient street was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. It is an important part of Tongren Ancient City and witnessed the prosperity of Tongren as the gateway of Tongren East. The ancient street retains a large number of Ming and Qing buildings, mainly blue brick and gray tiles, wood structure, integrating Huizhou architecture and local characteristics of the east of the province. The streets are narrow and narrow, with slabs paving the road, and many shops and houses on both sides. Some buildings have a courtyard pattern, reflecting the combination of traditional business and residential functions. There are also Feishan Palace, Zhou Yiqun's former residence (former residence of revolutionary martyrs), Ming and Qing shops and other sites in the ancient city. Tongren is a multi-ethnic settlement, the ancient street reflects the blend of Han, Miao, and other national cultures, such as architectural decoration, traditional crafts (such as Miao embroidery, silver jewelry), local snacks (such as social rice, rice tofu), etc. Here we tasted snacks, the most impressive is ancient oil tea, It's the soul of ginger and tea, super spicy. When I left, I also bought Tongren's local Fanjingshan Green Tea and Matcha in the ancient city. It is inevitable to buy and buy 😁 2. Zhusha Ancient Town: Many people will think of the ancient town of Zhusha as soon as they hear this name. It is famous for zhusha because of nature. The most impressive thing I am is the "that era" in the ancient town. After visiting the "that era", you may not know much about the history before the reform and opening up after the founding of the country, but you will definitely respect the hard years experienced by the old generation of people who opened the mountain to dig mines. If you are interested, you can ask the bean bag or deepseek. We have caught up with the good times, When remembering the mission, do not forget the original intention. 3. Fanjing Mountain, about 70 kilometers away from Tongren City, we are going from the west gate of Jiangkou County. The biggest advantage of going up the mountain from here is that there are cableways up and down, which is more suitable for the elderly who are not too physically strong. Fanjing Mountain is worth your own climbing, Hongyun Jinding for physical strength must be up, in addition to feeling the magic of nature, you should admire the power of faith! Tongren, maybe will go.
