Your upcoming Guizhou summer getaway

👇**Guizhou Travel Guide: Explore Hidden Landscapes and Experience Diverse Culture** 🍀Guizhou is a treasure trove that combines natural wonders and ethnic customs. Its cool climate (average of 23℃ in summer) makes it a popular summer destination. Here is a 5-day, 4-night travel guide: 💡**Itinerary:** ✨**Day 1–2: Guiyang and Surrounding Areas** 🎈- **Qianlingshan Park**: Encounter macaque monkeys with a CNY 5 entrance ticket, and enjoy a panoramic view of Guiyang from the top. 🌷- **Qingyan Ancient Town**: A 600-year-old military town where you can taste the Number One Scholar's Pig Trotters + Rose Candies, and take a night tour of the illuminated stone streets. 🌵- **Huaxi Yelang Valley**: A 20-year fantasy stone kingdom created by the artist Song Peilun, perfect for taking photos 📸 🌾**Day 3: Huangguoshu Waterfall (Anshun)** ✅- It is recommended to purchase VIP guest service (CNY 300+/person) to avoid the crowds. Head straight to the Great Waterfall in the early morning, and don't miss the Water Curtain Cave (bring a raincoat) + the Baimahuang Dapotang Waterfall (the filming location of Journey to the West). It is especially spectacular when the water volume is abundant in summer. 🍃**Day 4–5: In-depth Tour of Southeastern Guizhou** 🍀- **Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village**: Watch the stilted buildings in the morning mist, experience batik/silver jewelry making, and stay overnight in a hillside homestay to see the lights of thousands of homes. 🌺- **Zhaoxing Dong Village**: More original than Miao Village, the Drum Tower complex + Dong ethnic group song performances are not to be missed. -💥 **Libo Xiaoqikong**: Paddle a transparent boat on Mandarin Duck Lake, and enjoy the emerald waters of Wolongtan Waterfall like Jiuzhaigou. It is recommended to enter from the east gate where there are fewer people. 🍲**Recommended food:** 🐟- Sour Soup Fish (Lao Kaili Sour Soup Fish) 🍞🥗- Siwawa (thin rice pancake wrapped with ten kinds of side dishes) 🫕- Changwang Noodles + Houttuynia cordata (try with caution) 🍡- Lei Family Tofu Balls 💡**Useful Tips:** 🚗1. Transportation: It is recommended to charter a car/join a pure play tour as the scenic spots are scattered. The Guiyang-Libo high-speed train has been newly opened for 1.5h. 🏠2. Accommodation: Choose a hillside homestay in Miao Village (consider entering through the west gate first if you have luggage). ✅3. Season: Rooms need to be booked in advance during the peak season in July and August, and there are fewer tourists in September when the rice fields are golden. 👟4. Equipment: Non-slip shoes (rainy stone roads are slippery) + thin coat (large temperature difference between day and night). ‼️**Budget Reference:** 💰 Average of CNY 2,500–3,000 per person (excluding major transportation). ✅The charm of Guizhou lies in its uncarved natural beauty and immersive cultural experience, which is suitable for travelers who like slow-paced in-depth tours. The cooking smoke in Miao Village, the water mist of the waterfall, and the songs of Dong Village will all become unforgettable memories 🌷
