The best routes for free travel in Guizhou: Guide for free travel in Guizhou

Guizhou is located in the southwest and is also a mountainous area. It is close to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and has many natural resources and beautiful natural scenery. Tourists can choose different cities according to their own habits. There are many ethnic minorities here, as well as special beauties performing, making your trip no longer lonely. Below are the best routes and travel strategies for free travel in Guizhou.

First of all, let me talk about the reasons for choosing to go to Guizhou. First, during the free travel period, the Belt and Road Summit was held, and Guizhou introduced a ticket-free policy in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, with corresponding preferential policies for highways and air tickets. Second, none of the six of us have been to Guizhou, and my father and his entire country have never been to Guizhou, so we unanimously decided to go to Guizhou.

As for the way to travel, I started to plan to drive directly using the free highway policy. But because the road is far away and the drivers who can drive are older than me, I took the high-speed rail to Guiyang and then rented a car and drove myself. The reason why I didn't choose to fly is because the time to get to the airport has to be calculated, and advance security check is not much faster than high-speed rail.

It was already evening when the first day in Guiyang ended, so we checked into the hotel early in the morning to pick up the car. The next day, when I picked up the car, I discovered a hole. First of all, Guiyang also has car registration restrictions, and then the six of us can only rent Buick Business, and 7-seater cars are restricted on most roads in Guiyang 24/7. The hotel we stayed in was on a restricted road near the provincial government. People who didn't come to pick up the car had to pack their things and take a taxi to the pick-up point and drive directly to the scenic spots outside the city. The 4A-rated Qiandongnan Park, which the city initially said was a first-day visit, had to be abandoned.

Here are some things to note when renting a car. I use a car company. Just bring my ID card, driver's license, and credit card. I will go to work at half past eight in the morning. When I pick up the car, I will ask you to choose another insurance, excluding the basic insurance. I feel like it’s not necessary to spend 50 yuan a day. Pay careful attention to the appearance of the car when you pick it up, and ask any questions promptly to avoid unnecessary trouble when returning the car. Try air conditioning and headlights. The gas gauge is full and needs to be topped up when returning the car. You can return the car in another place, but the more embarrassing ones are in Guiyang, Guizhou. In addition, violating the number limit is the responsibility of the car rental company, but the number limit must be dealt with personally.

Note: To save trouble, I didn’t bring a camera. All photos were taken with mobile phones. Please forgive me!

Let’s talk about the attractions. The distances between major scenic spots in Guizhou are relatively long. Although there are highways, the limit of mountain roads is generally below 110, and some are only 90. We visit one attraction every day. After watching it, we stayed near the next attraction so that we could visit the attraction early the next morning. Friends who are planning to drive by themselves are advised to plan the route in advance to avoid taking the wrong road.

Day 1: Qianhu Miao Village, a 5A scenic spot.

The scenery of Miao Village is quite unique, but because the scenic area cannot divert people and vehicles, there are often cars driving on the road, which is very noisy and unsafe. There is an observation deck with panoramic views in Qianmiao Village, which the museum has nothing to do with.

If you have time, you can stay one night. It is said that the night view of Miao Village is beautiful. Don't eat at the entrance of the scenic spot. After entering, there are many specialty restaurants, somewhat similar to Phoenix Ancient City.

The next day: seven small houses The arch is a 4A scenic spot.

On the way to the scenic spot for road construction, I took a small road, which was very difficult to walk. Two of the seven small arches are very close to each other. Generally, there is no need to go to the Daqikong Bridge Scenic Area when going to Qixiao Archway. There is a lot of traffic in the scenic area, and the total ride time is one and a half hours. The view is moderate. The seven-hole bridge at the end is even less interesting.

Tickets are sold separately, so go to Tianyan. The science and technology museum and movies are not very interesting. Please note that electronic devices are not allowed in Tianyan Scenic Area. If you want to take pictures, you can rent a film camera. If you want to stay, it is recommended to stay in a hotel next to the tourist center of the scenic spot. It is very convenient. An astronomical telescope is provided in the room so that your friends can watch the stars at night.

I didn’t rent a camera, but the hotel was full of photos.

It is still in trial operation and the hardware is excellent.

Day 4: Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area, a 5A scenic spot.

There are three scenic spots inside, one is Doupotang Waterfall, where the ending song of Journey to the West was filmed. Second, Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area, third, Huangguoshu Waterfall. The scenic spot is relatively large and there are many people in the off-season. It is recommended to go early. Generally, we will enter three attractions at 9 o'clock, and finish watching at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Because of the long distance, it is not recommended to visit in order. After seeing Doupotang Waterfall, we went to Huangguoshu Waterfall and finally to Tianxingqiao Scenic Area. It would be a pity not to climb Huangguoshu Waterfall when you are tired. The traffic in the scenic area is chaotic, so individual tourists should pay special attention. Many local teams need to queue up, and individual passengers get on first. Be sure to squeeze to the front of the line and ask individual passengers which bus to take, don't just wait in line to follow.

Day 5: Dragon Palace, a 5A scenic spot.

Highly recommended. It is not far from Huangguoshu Scenic Area, but both scenic spots are relatively large. It is recommended to play for two days. It is a boat tour inside the cave, which is very unique.

Day 6: Zunyi I forgot Yi Hui’s old address several times.

Very bad. There are serious traffic jams in the city, many traffic lights are out of order, and the scenic spots are very small. Parking in the city center is very difficult. It's best to find an explanation when entering the scenic spot, otherwise there won't even be a tour sheet. What’s more, they deceived people to find the former residences of Li De and Bogu after leaving the scenic area, and the ruins of the former church were also in the pass, but there was no warning and they missed it without seeing it.

I don’t know how it is worse than Jinggangshan, Xibaipo, and Yan’an. It is also a revolutionary resort. There is no need to go if you don’t have strong red revolutionary feelings. Tickets for attractions are free, but ID is required to collect them.

Day 7: Maotai Town.

I arrived on the evening of the fifth day. I recommend staying near Liquor Culture Plaza. The town is well built, the night view is beautiful, and there is a free light show that starts around 9 o'clock. You can have a few more drinks at night and get a good night's sleep.

The next day you can walk to the Chinese Wine Culture Museum, which has many branches and rich content. You can also try the real Moutai (it costs 26 yuan for 10ml Tianfei, use a measuring cup to pour it accurately). Moutai also offers personalized customization services.

Day 8: Qingyan Ancient Town, a newly built 5A scenic spot.

We were originally scheduled to return the car back to Guiyang today, but it was still early when we arrived in Guiyang. I went to see some attractions around the city but I was disappointed. Come on impulse, only to come away disappointed. This level is rated as 5A anyway.

Personal recommendation index:

The scenic spots are too bad to take pictures.

Day 9: Fan Jing, also belongs to the new 5A scenic spot.

After returning the car back to Guiyang, we took the high-speed rail to Tongren. After reading this, we were going to take the high-speed train home directly. Unexpectedly, Tongren High-speed Railway Station is quite far from the city, and it takes about an hour and a half to get on the expressway. There are tourist buses from Tongren City to Fanjing. The first time is at 9 o'clock and takes about an hour and a half. It can be seen that Fan Jing has invested a lot of money in the promotion of 5A in recent years. Unfortunately, there was light rain and fog the day we went. If you are not afraid of long journeys,
