Hangzhou self-driving Guizhou 9-day tour (Part 2)

Duyun City —— Ziyun County

 

Duyun, famous from "The Unknown", is now searched for . I have a good impression of it, because I ate well there! I came to this small city at dinner time and opened Dianping.com. The top ten restaurants were almost all shrimp sour, with that charming sour and stinky smell. Although the sour soup was delicious, I couldn't stand the smell of sweating from head to toe. I found a firewood turkey restaurant that I had eaten in Hangzhou. It was a big pot with chicken cooked in it and pancakes stuck to the side. I thought it was good at the time, but in Hangzhou they all use gas or electricity to cook. This is real wood. Although it is not environmentally friendly, it should smell very good!

 

As soon as I entered the store, the proprietress greeted me with a smile, asked who was there, and led me to the back, saying I wanted to order. I followed in, and as soon as I lifted the curtain, there was a sound of chickens and dogs jumping. The lady who orders and cooks, the boy who serves the dishes, and the brother who stands by the cage catching chickens all look at me and ask me to choose the chicken!

 

Although I usually eat meat, it still feels a bit sinful to actually choose one to kill. I quickly exited the curtain and said to my aunt, you should help me make the decision. The three people who were looking at me just now laughed at me at the same time!

Ah hahahaha, you don’t dare, you are afraid...

 

Therefore, the secret to the delicious taste of wood-fired turkey is that it is cooked over firewood in an earthen stove and is cooked and fried immediately. Just stir-fry it and the aroma will make you want to die. Auntie learned that we had come from afar, so she posted two extra pieces of cake. The chicken weighed more than four kilograms and I ate it with all my strength. Help the wall out!

My mother is not a cooking aunt, she just wants to touch familiar kitchen utensils.

I must eat some sour soup noodles before leaving this small town, I told myself when I woke up. I found a Bangshang rice noodle shop. The name is cool enough, the shop has been open for a long time, the store is marketable enough, and the products are simple enough. It must be delicious.

I ordered beef in sour soup with my mom, and she added a portion of crispy whistle, but the oil residue was so fragrant. My dad ordered the original beef noodle soup, and I told the boss Add a little bit of Houttuynia cordata and try it.

:Are you used to it?

: He hasn’t eaten

:That won’t work👋

:Add a little bit?

:well! No, no, no, the smell is too strong, not even a little bit!

You are so principled, boss!

The noodles are delicious, the soup is delicious, and the seats in a row for three people are very comfortable!

Ziyun County - Getu River Scenic Area - Anshun City

 

I haven’t seen the sun much since I left Zhejiang. Netizens said that the weather in Guizhou usually rains in the morning and evening, and clears up in the afternoon. Last night it was a heavy rain, and it was light rain again when I woke up. Visiting scenic spots in such weather makes me feel depressed, and I hope it will really clear up in the afternoon.

Why are socks always the hardest to dry when washing clothes?

 

The Getu River Scenic Area we are going to visit today is said to not have many tourists, is not well-known and has low value for money. Then why go! ? Many netizens watched the documentary "Aerial Photography of China", but I watched their pirated videos. In the video, a beam of skylight comes out of a huge cave in the distance and shines onto the mountains, forests and rivers, like a fairy!

From "The first kiss was given to 🍼" by this lucky 🦢

 

But, this kind of scene is rarely seen by ordinary tourists. But even without the light, just those huge holes made me very curious and wanted to see them with my own eyes.

The sky cleared up as soon as we arrived at the scenic spot. The parking lot was very large, but there were only a few cars parked in twos and threes. It’s very contradictory, should I be happy, or should I be frustrated? Although there is no one there, the entry procedures are very formal. I have made an appointment online. The security check still requires me to fill in my ID card to register. When I wrote 1987, he voiced doubts and firmly stated that I looked like I was born in 1995 at best! ! ! No!

 

After entering the park, we first took a sightseeing car to the pier. There were only three of us in the car. It felt like a VIP viewing. The dock was also deserted. It took several minutes to gather six people and reluctantly set sail. There are dense forests and cliffs on both sides of the river, with plank roads running through them. You can reach the first scenic spot, Dahe Miao Village, on foot or by boat.

The village is built at the foot of the mountain. As soon as you enter the village, there is a very non-commercial commercial square. There may be performances during festivals. Going deeper, there are a few scattered residents, and it feels like a rural place.

The sign pointed to a Tianci Lake. My dad thought it was just a small pond in the backyard and didn’t want to look at it. I liked to shatter his “feeling” and come and take a look.

After walking for a long time, the road became increasingly slippery as we entered the woods. Dad was sliding in front of me, which made me a little scared. The driver’s legs must not be disabled. If we can’t see the lake again, we really have to go back. I asked him to wait aside and walked forward to explore. After a few steps, I saw a piece of green grass in the forest, like duckweed. Could it really be a small pond? Is there a hazy green net beside the duckweed? It's still very blurry even if you look hard. I took two more steps forward, and the green area expanded. I could see clearly that blurry thing, which was the reflection of the woods! It must be beautiful there!

I was a little excited and explained to my dad what I saw, while speeding up my pace. At the end of the descent, it suddenly became clear.

It’s no exaggeration to say that Tianci Lake looks like a fairyland isolated from the world! The chirping of insects and birds is quiet and lively. The cattle on the other side are so small and they are grazing leisurely. I almost forgot about the cave and just wanted to be by the lake!

 

But, it's impossible. Dad tentatively sent out the signal "Let's go, okay, let's go". After three or five times, we left the small lake. If you continue taking the boat, you will be able to see the Wangtian Cave and the two neighbors on the left and right, the Prayer Cave and the Swallow Cave, from a distance. Looking from afar on the lake, the cave looks like a green tongue sticking out, so furry and cute. There is a trail leading to the cave from the bottom of the mountain.

It's just a bit high, and I was exhausted from climbing to the small prayer hole. This was once the coffin cave of the royal family, but it was later burned down by fire. In order to pray for the ancestors, the descendants placed five drums here with the meaning of "good luck, wealth, longevity, happiness and wealth". My lord knocked the money!

We continued up many steps to get to Wangtian Cave. We were huffing and puffing as we climbed. The closer we got to the cave, the more intimidating we felt. Dad thought to himself all the way, this is really a miraculous work of nature! x3

Yes, this sinkhole is 370 meters deep and 200 meters wide. There are abundant plants in the cave, water drips from time to time above the head, and the environment is humid.

The cave is surrounded by the surrounding mountain walls, forming a well-shaped sinkhole, which is a natural echo cave.

Looking from the cave, it is another world. The Getu River and the karst hills accompany each other and become long and long. At this time, my heart rate was very fast, and I was extremely calm. Nature really has the power to calm people down.

well! We have to go back the same way and go to the Swallow Cave next door. Hundreds of thousands of swallows live in caves hundreds of meters high. The boatman said that swallows go out to look for food at six o'clock in the morning and return to their nests at seven o'clock in the evening. Working from 6 to 7 is a bit hard!

It was so crowded that tourists couldn't see it, so a Spider-Man show was developed here. Spider-Man in red climbed the cliff to the top red flag point without any protection, a round trip of about 20 minutes. It is said that the local Miao people have the custom of hanging coffins and burials in caves, and this is where Spider-Man comes from.

Nowadays, skills have become performances, and I have no choice but to admire them. The Spider-Man we met had finished his work and paddled away.

 

After visiting the scenic spot, we rushed to live in Anshun City. They say that when you play in Guiyang, you eat in Anshun. The snacks here are very famous. I was almost hungry after a day of hiking, so I chose an Internet celebrity snack store, which is very suitable for greedy tourists like me, and I can catch all the snacks!

 

This "Centennial Flavor Anshun Silk Doll" service is very comprehensive. After parking the car at the door, it happened to be raining. The receptionist came up to us with an umbrella and led us all the way into the store, surrounded by neon decorations.

After sitting down, the waiter immediately handed over a hot towel and gave some dining introductions. The portions here are not big, so you can try a little of everything. The first thing that came up was the silk doll. I asked the waiter how I wanted to eat it, and she immediately disinfected her hands and showed me.

Silk dolls are a traditional snack in Guizhou, with soup, dough, and various vegetable shreds. There are two kinds of soup in this restaurant: original soup and sour soup. They are served in thermos bottles at every table. I asked for the sour soup and added some soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil for seasoning. Then pull out a piece of dough, like eating Peking duck, put little bits of side dishes on it, wrap it up like a baby, and pour a spoonful of soup into it! Just eat it like this, the spicy and sour juice paired with vegetable shreds, I like it.

I actually took photos of every dish and ranked them in order of deliciousness. My favorite is fried rice porridge, it feels like eating fried rice dumplings with fillings, crispy and glutinous! Sour soup bibimbap with lots of fresh and sour ingredients! The tofu balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It won’t burn your mouth when you cut it with a knife, and it will definitely taste better when dipped in water. The small pot jelly, Chong Chong cake, potato cake, and roasted pig's feet are also good and well placed.

Before going to bed, I wanted to book a ticket to Huangguoshu for the next day. I was surprised to find that Guizhou would implement a 100-day policy of free admission to A-level tourist attractions, targeting some provinces, including Zhejiang. But we have to start from the 10th, and this is only the 7th. It just so happened that when we checked in today, the hotel gave us both room upgrades and we were able to extend our stay at the original price. Under the temptation of this double discount, and my dad discussed that we must give it a try and rest in Anshun for two days!

Anshun City

 

I climbed too many stairs yesterday, and jiojio was really sore today. I slept until I woke up naturally and took a relaxing walk in Jiuzhou Ancient Town, not far from the city, to relieve the soreness.

There is not much development here, and most of the businesses are supporting the surrounding residents. The streets and alleys are full of the flavor of life, and they are kept small and exquisite. A small stream flows in front of every house. You wash the vegetables and I wash the stools. It's peaceful.

In the leisurely afternoon, the sisters played mahjong and talked and laughed. I raised my camera, ready to snap this harmonious scene. Not wanting to be discovered by one of them, the fairy changed her face and angrily asked me whether I should go to the public security bureau to report them.

It turns out you are...!

Anshun City

On the second day of wandering around Anshun, we went to Yunfeng Tunbao. This scenic spot has two parts, Yunshan Tunbenzhai Township on the mountainside and Yunjiu Temple on the top of the mountain. On a clear day, you can see the temple on the top of the mountain from the entrance of the scenic spot, which is wonderful.

We bought the tickets very honestly, but later found out that we might not need them. The lady at the ticket office was massaging her face that had just been coated with toner, and asked us how many tickets we wanted. We asked if there were any discounts for seniors, and she answered that tickets were free, and asked how many seniors there were? When we answered truthfully, she tore the two tickets to us. Don’t you need to see your ID card?

 

After reading the introduction, I found that most of the people in Tunpu were soldiers and civilians who migrated to Anshun from Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the Ming Dynasty. As a tourist from Hangzhou, I feel quite lucky.

The core of Tunpu is stone, and stone craftsmanship is brought to the extreme here. The locals have a folk saying: Stone streets, stone roofs, stone houses, stone grinders, stone mills, stone nests, stone vats. A whole world of stone.

Not long after we entered the village, we were targeted by a 🐶, mainly targeting my brother.

The little guy was very well-behaved. He would not eat snacks or drink water when given to him, but would quietly follow my brother and keep a certain distance. We tried to persuade him to go home early to no avail, so he followed us all the way to Yunjiu Temple.

The view from the top of the mountain is good, overlooking the town, the cool breeze is blowing, and Xiao Guai is still with you.

Walking around Yunjiu Temple, another dog suddenly appeared. The three little dogs met in a lively atmosphere, laughing and playing, and they confirmed their taste. They are all dogs they like!

Perhaps he was attracted by my brother's aristocratic temperament in the city. As they were playing around, Xiaoguai and Xiaolang started fighting over him, but my father had no choice but to carry him down the mountain. Without Xiaoguai's company, the way down the mountain felt a little lonely. Halfway up the mountain, I heard a dog panting from behind. Could it be that Xiaoguai was chasing him down?

No, it's the little wolf. The scene seems familiar, from afar! I'm amazed at my brother's charm. Young losers in big cities are quite popular. The little wolf not only followed us down the mountain, but also took us to his house to eat egg fried rice.

Xiaoguai also appeared during the meal. In fact, he and Xiaolang belong to the same owner, and they are the two sons of the Dan Fried Rice family. After lunch, Xiaolang went with us to visit most of the village. He escorted my brother all the way out of the village and refused to leave until the parking lot!

A pleasant day ended like this, alas! Brother, do you still remember Guaiguai and Xiaolang from Yunshan Village? You stinky thing who shows mercy everywhere!

Unexpectedly, I would receive such an honor as being urged to update by fans in my lifetime. I wanted to write the whole journey to Guizhou, so let’s stop here first!
