Today’s itinerary is to drive 180 kilometers from Zhaoxing to Libo in southeastern Guizhou via Duyun. The whole journey is on a high speed, once again experiencing the beauty of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the beauty of the Guizhou Yunduan Expressway. On a section of the mountain road before reaching the Yaojiazhai service area, heavy rain poured down. There were many cars on the road and it rained heavily. Please proceed with caution. Stop and take a rest when you reach the service area. Maybe Everyone's desire to escape from the rain was surprisingly unanimous. There were too many cars accumulated in the service area. The rain kept falling and it seemed that it had no intention of stopping. We simply had lunch and continued on our way. We arrived at Li, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture around 4 p.m. In Bo County, we stayed at a business hotel near Zhangjiang Night Snack Street. The inn is located on the sixth floor and the environment is not bad. In the evening, we eat grilled fish with bean curd and Zhangjiang fragrant pig at the night market. We cool off at the cultural square and feel the coolness of Libo County.

In the Yaojiazhai service area, it has been raining.

When we arrived at Libo, the rain finally stopped.

Zhangjiang Night Food – such a warm name.

Zhangjiang fragrant pig tastes good.

Guizhou Snacks-Siwawa

Guizhou is blessed with a unique mountain environment, beautiful mountains and beautiful people. Unexpectedly, even the food is great. In Guizhou, there are many special snacks, among which there is a special snack called "Siwawa", which can be seen everywhere on the streets of Guiyang. According to local friends, this is their A relatively famous snack. It makes people curious, because I already knew about Silk Doll when I was working on the guide. Standing next to this stall, I looked carefully and finally figured out that the way to eat silk dolls is to use a thin pancake to roll up the various vegetables on the stall, and then top it with a special sauce. Take the sour soup into your mouth, taste it slowly, and experience the various unique flavors of various ingredients on your tongue. In fact, I feel that the taste of silk doll should be similar to the taste of northern pancakes.

The reason why we went to Libo, located in southern Guizhou, and then retraced our steps to go north to Guiyang was actually to see Xiaoqikong Scenic Area. From Libo to Xiaoqikong Scenic Area, it is about 30 kilometers, and the time is up when you step on the accelerator. Various facilities in the scenic area are thoughtful and complete, the parking lot is large, and the tourist service center is also very impressive. After buying the ticket, you need to take a sightseeing bus Entering the scenic spot, tourists can choose stopping points and tour selectively according to their actual needs. Both the locals and Mafengwo suggested that it is best to enter the scenic spot from the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge. After listening to others' advice to have a full meal, we started the tour from the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge. After the tour, we drove more than 200 kilometers to Qingyan Ancient Town in Huaxi District, Guiyang, and checked into a hotel very close to the ancient town. We had fish hotpot for dinner, which was delicious.
