Written before

I have long heard that there is a leisure and fashionable town next to the Vocational Education City - Time Guizhou. I have passed by here countless times and never had time to stop and have a face-to-face date with it. This holiday, I had a nice stroll here with a friend I hadn’t seen for a long time.

How to get to Shiguang Guizhou

Suitable for those who drive or take a taxi -

Good friends come by train, and the trains usually stop at Guiyang North Station. We took a taxi at Guiyang North Railway Station and could reach Times Guizhou in 40 minutes. The ticket price is about 70 yuan. It is more cost-effective to take a taxi with 3 or 4 friends, and it may also save some time. Driving students can take the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway to Dongmenqiao Toll Station, and then from Yunling East Road to Baizhi Road to reach Shiguang Guizhou.

This is - for you who take the bus.

Students in Guiyang can take buses 224, 219, and 280 to Binyang Avenue, and then transfer to buses 802 and 801 to the entrance of Time Guizhou. The bus time is relatively long, about 2 hours, so everyone who travels by bus must control the time well.

How to spend time in Guizhou

Before introducing, let me say a few words. In fact, there are 100 Hamlets in 100 people's hearts. Some people like to be lively, and some people like to be quiet. The gameplay introduced later may not be completely suitable for everyone, but you can choose the part that interests you. And if you occasionally try something you haven’t dabbled in before, you might be able to develop another hobby, right?

I did my homework before setting off. Times Guizhou is a comprehensive project that integrates tourism, shopping, leisure and entertainment, and is divided into phases one and two. Here, you can not only eat various Guiyang specialties, but also buy specialty products. As several fanatics whose biggest hobby in life is shopping, in Guizhou, we really fulfilled our desire to go shopping as a little train. In addition to eating, drinking and having fun, there are many places here that are suitable for "Wenqing", such as the old buildings of Guizhou's Tunpu culture and Shanghai's Shanghai style culture. Women who love taking selfies (such as my friend) can pose "unscrupulously". In addition, children who like to do things can also participate in various DIY activities here. For example, we participated in DIY batik at the Rural Tourism Development Center, which was very interesting.

Make your own specialties

As the saying goes, "Guiyang is more valuable than the scorching sun." I don't know if I helped an old woman carry her luggage a few days ago, but God gave me enough face. The sunshine, blue sky, and white clouds make people almost unable to believe their eyes.

We set off from the train station at 8 o'clock and arrived in Guizhou in 40 minutes. After getting off the bus, you will see Times Square in Guizhou. We discovered that the reliefs in Times Square are all ancient creatures that once lived in Guizhou. Where we are is the vast ocean hundreds of millions of years ago. Who would have thought that Guizhou would now become a "mountain country"? I have to lament that times have changed.

Look at those white clouds. Are you craving a bite in particular? The colorful tourist trains are specially designed for the convenience of parents with children. I found that many people come here with their families, and there seem to be many entertainment programs suitable for the elderly and children. We just happened to come across a lottery held by Times Guizhou. We didn't visit anything. Let’s draw a prize first, be happy! On the way here, I did my homework and looked at the map of Guizhou Province on the official website. It’s impossible to visit so many stores at once, so we decided to adopt a “make your decision once you’re here” attitude. There are too many "enemies". Let's break them down one by one!

The first thing you see is a variety of restaurants, but we just had breakfast and still have plenty of energy, so let's go shopping!

Our first stop was the Rural Tourism Development Center, because my friends were very interested in Guizhou’s local specialty—batik. Before coming here, I heard that there is batik DIY here. We usually like to do it ourselves, so of course we won’t miss it.

The Rural Tourism Development Center has many local craftsmen in Guizhou.

Although they are ancient, all visitors are amazed by their exquisite craftsmanship. Your predecessors painted detailed wax figures on cloth. Flowers, birds, fish and insects, in the old man's paintings, are sometimes abstract and sometimes concrete. The pen follows your heart and you finish the work in one go.

The batik lady told us in non-standard Mandarin that batik has a history of more than 2,000 years in Guizhou. Legend has it that a girl named Wa Shuang was determined to make a big umbrella out of cloth to hold up the sky that often fell. She put the finished cloth under the pear tree to dry. Falling pear blossoms attract bees on the cloth. When bees collect nectar, they stick beeswax to the cloth, leaving the outline of pear blossoms. The indigo juice on the ground dyed the cloth blue. Eva was very happy to see this and sewed a sky umbrella out of this cloth. Later, Wa Shuang made batik cloth according to this method and taught it to the girls in the village.

There is also a saying that a Miao girl was not satisfied with single-color clothes, but slept among flowers while meditating hard. When I woke up, I noticed spots of white beeswax on my clothes. When the girl felt ugly, she decided to re-dye her clothes. At this time, a miracle happened, lines appeared on the dark blue skirt due to the presence of beeswax. The girl had an idea, found beeswax, and drew beautiful patterns on clothes, and the prototype of batik was born.

In fact, our DIY batik patterns are far less complicated. The instructor's patient explanations and the personal guidance of the batik ladies made us aware of every step. I made coasters and my friend made a small handkerchief. You can also buy a variety of exquisite batik products here. Table runners, cushion covers and T-shirts make great souvenirs for friends. In addition to batik, there are also embroidery, branch carvings, handmade silver jewelry and other handicrafts with ethnic characteristics.

The existence of this rural tourism development center is also very meaningful. As the name suggests, this is a non-profit social organization that creates employment opportunities for poor ethnic minority women in Guizhou, increases their income through various activities, and allows their superb skills and technologies to be passed down and not disappear in the vast history.

Let your craving for snacks leave the Rural Tourism Development Center. I feel like I did too much DIY work just now and I'm a little hungry. A few steps away is the first stop for today's delicious food: Crispy Duck. You can smell the mouth-watering fried crispy duck as soon as you walk to the door. I really recommend this well-known restaurant in Guizhou to people who have never eaten there. Now it is different from the nationally popular braised duck series. The crispy duck is marinated and then fried, making it even more crispy and delicious. Finally, sprinkle a lot of pepper powder, and the hemp flavor is irresistible. My best friend and I bought a set meal for two people, which only cost 30 yuan. Although the duck was very hot, we still drank two large bottles of water, but it felt really good!

Because it was so delicious, I completely forgot to take pictures. As soon as I finished eating the crispy duck, my friend came over with a bunch of tornado potatoes, just like the crumb cakes from previous years, and the ones from recent years. Greedy frog and crayfish, food trends are always changing. In Guizhou, this pagoda-like potato is almost a crowd, and of course it cannot be missed. Generally speaking, they are just potato chips with seasoning. How does it taste? ——Different people have different opinions.

But snacks can never fill our "abyss-like" stomachs. I searched online and found that many people recommended Jar Fish. Before I even reached the door of the restaurant, I was attracted by the refreshing taste of chili pepper. It turned out that the chef was frying chili peppers in front of the store. The bright red and spicy dried chili peppers, combined with other mysterious spices, undergo strange changes under the influence of boiling oil. ——Does this description sound like China on the tip of your tongue? Automatic BGM here.

Traveling between ancient and modern times, Guizhou? Shanghai?

The architecture of the Guizhou era was mainly based on Guizhou tradition and Shanghai culture. The blending of two different styles of buildings makes you feel like you have passed through the gate of the ancient city of Guizhou with rich Guizhou style, and instantly arrived at an alley in old Shanghai.

Guizhou’s local history and culture are also vividly reflected here. For example, "Tunpu Culture".

"Tunbao culture" originated from the fusion of the culture brought by Zhu Yuanzhang's army and his family members southward and Guizhou's local culture. After more than 600 years of development and evolution, a series of "Tunpu Culture" has been formed.

The buildings in Tunpu are mainly made of stone, with stone walls, stone houses, stone bridges and stone cities.

It seems that the entire fort is made of stone, with a very strong military flavor. During the ancient war period, this architectural style played a huge military function. In Guizhou, these "stone style" buildings can be seen everywhere.

The display of Shanghai-style culture gave us a feeling of being in a foreign country. The Shanghai-style architecture, which is compatible with absorbing advanced foreign architectural culture without losing the "Shanghai" flavor, outlines a scene of old Shanghai in the hinterland of Guizhou. No wonder the slogan of "Times Guizhou" is "Tell the story of Guizhou and interpret the life of Shanghai".

The various sketches embellished in it highlight the characteristics of the combination of classical and modern. For example, all fire equipment boxes are designed in the style of Shanghai ladies, but we didn’t count a few beauties in the end, so we might as well count them.

After visiting the specialty streets, I was a little tired. At this moment, Time Bookstore comes into view, like the slogan in front of it - breathing time and telling the story of memory. This bookstore with blue bricks and black tiles seems to be connected to another world.

The bookshelves stretching to the roof are filled with all kinds of books. From esoteric tomes to picture books for kids, there's everything here. I chose a copy of "Guizhou Reader" as a gift for myself during this trip. In the afternoon, the sun shone on me, and I briefly read this book about Guizhou. This "mountain country" located in the southwest corner of China has been unknown to the outside world for many years. Various legends have cast a mysterious color on Guizhou. Although I often come to Guizhou, I never seem to have a serious understanding of the history of this place. By reading this book and coming to Guizhou, I got to know more people and things that I had never paid attention to before.

The most dazzling ethnic style, the most dazzling Guizhou style

Guizhou has always been a province of multi-ethnic unity, and Guizhou is no exception. Every day, in various parts of the town, there are wonderful performances by ethnic minority actors. Fortunately, I checked the program list and did my homework before coming (as for how to check, please refer to the travel tips from last time), and I saw the eight-tone sitting singing of the Buyi people, the folk song singing of the Dong people, and the soldier shift performance at the gate of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. , Guizhou traditional local opera, etc., etc., are very rich in ethnic minority characteristics. My friends and I seemed to have traveled through the protagonists in the play, from one era to another, to one place after another, and personally experienced the changes in Guizhou.

As night falls, the lights are brightly lit, and the whole town is surrounded by charming lights. (ps. Because the camera was too bright during the day and there was no power at night. I found some beautiful night scene pictures from the official website and deleted them.)

There was a bonfire in the square, and beautiful girls and handsome boys danced ethnic dances. dance. My friends and I, as well as many people we didn’t know, were all drawn into the dancing team. Everyone was singing and dancing, as if they hadn't been so relaxed in a long time.

“Three days without sunshine, three miles without land, three cents of silver” seems to be the only impression the outside world has of Guizhou. Time has given me a different Guizhou. For those who don’t know Guizhou, I recommend you come here to take a look. Here, you can not only enjoy relaxation, entertainment and leisure, but also have more changes in your understanding of Guizhou.

Everyone can find their own way of leisure in Time Guizhou. Here, walk through the cultural corridor of Guizhou and enjoy your leisurely and slow time.

: Play

1. To be honest, there is really nothing interesting in downtown Guiyang, but if you want to climb mountains, worship Buddha, and watch monkeys, you can go to Qianling Mountain Park.

Qianlingshan Park

It seems that the ticket price has gone up, but I don’t remember it anyway! It used to be 5 yuan. But now it is definitely more than 10 yuan.

Seriously looking for lice?

Look, Handicap

But we must pay attention to the group of monkeys. They are so smart, they grab the food and open their own mineral water bottles.

After entering, it is recommended to go to Hongfu Temple to climb the mountain and burn incense. It is quite interesting to touch the word "福" with your eyes closed and throw coins.

Qianling Lake

There is a road from the back gate of Hongfu Temple to Qianling Lake. You have to paddle here. What a wonderful mood.

It’s best to have a girl by your side, it’s very suitable for you to express your feelings, but if you don’t succeed, don’t rely on me!

After landing, you can go directly to the entrance of the park through a tunnel. The walk takes about 10 minutes. There are people practicing in this tunnel all year round. do not be afraid. It's fine. You'd better pretend to be afraid and deliberately hold the person next to you's little hand (unisex).

2. Qingyan Ancient Town

There is a Qingyan Ancient Town in Huaxi District, Guiyang. Guiyang people often go to barbecue on weekends. It’s a bit rushed for Lijiang (actually I’ve never been to Lijiang, haha, but I guess all ancient towns are similar). Stroll around there, take photos, and nibble on the famous Qingyan pig's trotters. I don't remember which one it was. No matter what, it’s almost the same! After eating, you can buy some rose candies or other specialties to take home!

There are many people in the scenic spot.
