When talking about Guizhou, the first word that comes to mind is "cool" .

 

It is as soft as water, the sky is never clear for three days, and the sunshine is rare and precious.

 

Its nights are long and sultry, with a hint of smoke hidden in the little lights.

 

The taste of its snacks is so special that it always stirs up your taste buds in memory.

 

In short, your trip to Guizhou will be worthwhile.

 

 

 

Guizhou’s scenery is infinitely beautiful

 

Every year in March, it is a good time to enjoy flowers in Guizhou. The rapeseed flowers in Wanfenglin bloom all over the mountains with the momentum of "like a sudden spring breeze blowing overnight, thousands of pear trees bloom"; the hundred-mile azaleas in Bijie are not far behind, with the momentum of "a good night of wind blows, ten thousand new flowers bloom" Attracting groups of tourists who come here admiringly; when the cherry blossoms in Pingba left, all the flowers on the mountain had fallen.

 

 

When traveling in summer, you can choose the majestic Huangguoshu Waterfall, the beautiful and spectacular Chishui Danxia Landform, or you can enjoy the picturesque Libo Big and Small Seven Holes.

 

 

 

 

In terms of cultural landscape, compared to the Qianhu Miao Village, I yearn for the Zhaoxing Dong Village. Looking down from the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the Zhaoxing Drum Tower Group. The stilted buildings built along the mountain are lined up in rows and scattered, with a small stream gurgling in the middle. It flows and nourishes the surrounding terraces. Walking into the Dong Village, you can occasionally see some old people sitting leisurely on the straw piles to bask in the sun, children playing with each other with bare feet, and married women smiling at their children while embroidering flowers... Live here It’s a good place to escape from the world for a few days.

 

"There is no mountain without caves, and there is no cave without wonder." Guizhou also has caves with karst landforms, the famous ones include Zhijin Cave, Jiulong Cave, and Shenlong Cave. I have only been to Zhijin Cave. The scenery in the cave is diverse and diverse, and it is still breathtaking when I think about it now.

 

 

There is no "night" in Guiyang that would not be happy

 

 

01

Chicken Mahjong

 

Guizhou is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Due to the influence of the earth's rotation and altitude, the sky slowly begins to darken at 8 pm, and the most active and relaxing nightlife of the day begins at this time.

 

The whole family, young and old, gathered around the mahjong table to play the game of "Catch the Chicken". It was fun at the beginning and turned red-faced at the end. There were also careless moments in the middle, but after more than ten rounds, they were still right. This battlefield without gunpowder is reluctant to leave. Guizhou people love mahjong just like Fujian people love seafood. It is an addiction rooted in their bones.

 

There are mahjong tables in restaurants of all sizes in Guizhou. Before the meal, the guests would play a few sets of mahjong to liven up the atmosphere, and after the meal, they would pick up the mahjong and play a few times. If a hotel doesn't have a mahjong table, it's probably going to go out of business.

 

 

02

barbecue

 

At night in Guizhou, when you go out, you will find rows of temporary barbecue restaurants and food stalls quietly set up on the alleys and roadsides that were deserted during the day. The aroma of grilled fish, kebabs, and roasted potatoes hit our nostrils. Customers sat in the shop in twos and threes, chatting and drinking, looking like they could live up to the long night.

 

 

Silk dolls are popularized by street food. Radish, Lettuce, Dried tofu, Potato, Kelp cut into shreds, wrapped in a piece of dough, and topped with special sauce, this is what Guizhou people love most tasty.

 

 

Sour and spicy Guizhou

 

01

Lao Kaili Sour Fish Hotpot

 

Of course, hot pot is also an indispensable favorite in Guizhou people’s nightlife. The most famous one is Kaili’s sour soup fish hot pot. When a group of Miao girls wearing big red flowers on their heads, Miao costumes and silver jewelry come towards you carrying a pot of fish in sour soup and singing folk songs, the unique and unrestrained enthusiasm of the ethnic minorities will instantly infect you.

 

When eating hot pot, there must be a small dipping dish next to it. The dipping dish is mixed with chili, sesame oil, garlic, etc. The hairy tripe, duck intestines, ham, fat beef, fat lamb, etc. that have been rolled in the hot pot are also there. It can be considered delicious only after it is rolled again in the dipping saucer.

 

 

 

02

Rice noodles/sour powder

 

People in Guiyang love to make fans. There is a 50-cent Old Vegetarian Noodles restaurant ten meters away. If you take a few steps and turn a corner, you will come across Shuicheng Mutton Noodles. Next door to the mutton noodles may be a beef noodle shop. If it is opposite to the beef noodles, It’s not unusual to sell sour soup casserole noodles.

 

Add peanuts, kohlrabi, tomatoes, sour radish, minced meat to the slightly sour rice noodles...and finally a spoonful of oil Chili is the staple breakfast for Guiyang people.

 

The most famous one should be Huaxi’s Feiwan Beef Noodles. The soft and fragrant rice noodles are topped with delicious beef soup, with a few pieces of pickled lotus white floating on top. The taste is really wonderful.

 

 

03

Cold folded ear root

 

Usually presented as a side dish, it smells like a mixture of fishy fish and Chinese herbs stir-fried. I still can’t get used to this smell.

 

 

04

Insect platter

 

A dish made of fried bugs mixed with green pepper and millet. As a person who has been afraid of bugs since he was a child, even if he mustered up the courage to shout: "Strong man, kill this bug!" when eating this dish, he still wouldn't be able to eat it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

High energy ahead

 

"I'm waiting for you in Guizhou, waiting for you to meet me, waiting for such beauty." Promise me that you will experience the "cool" Guiyang this summer, okay?
