During my trip to Guizhou, I found the treasure ancient city of Zhenyuan and stayed for six days in a row. Compared with natural scenery such as mountains and rivers, I have a more special interest in ancient cities and towns full of history and unique humanistic charm. Alpine and big rivers or majestic or beautiful, it seems that you can always see clearly at a glance, and the charm of the ancient city and town needs you to calm down and taste slowly, like a pot of old wine, like an old song that inadvertently hums... The rushing people, About the surface can only be seen glitz or even noise. Zhenyuan is a historical and cultural city with natural scenery and humanistic landscape hidden deep in the mountains of Guizhou. The unique geographical conditions are the main reason why Zhenyuan can gradually flourish and prosper in the long river of history for more than 2,000 years. Zhenyuan is located at the junction of Xiaoxiang two provinces. The terrain is dangerous. It is surrounded by mountains. The Yanghe water in the east flow is s-shaped and passes through the city. It is known as "Jiushan holding a water". Shi Shuyun: If you want to refuse Chu, you must occupy Zhenyuan, want to pass the cloud expensive, and keep Zhenyuan first. The name of Zhenyuan is also coming here. As the key of the Chu lock, the gateway of Xiangyu, the land and water in the southwest, Zhenyuan is the stronghold of the dynasties in the southwest and the base of the rule of government in the south, and it is also the traffic ramp of the so-called southern Silk Road connecting Southeast Asia in the ancient Central Plains. Especially during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, where businessmen gathered and culture and education flourished, it was a famous Dashao station, a large port and a large commercial area. Merchants and craftsmen from Jiangxi, Anhui, Fujian and other places exchanged and integrated with the border ethnic minorities, creating unique folk customs, religion, Humanistic characteristics such as architecture and food. Today, dozens of ancient passways, ancient bridges, ancient ancient city halls, ancient lanes, ancient houses, ancient temples, etc. left in the size of Zhenyuan Ancient City Streets and alleys, it is worth savoring and enjoying its unique style. The green Wuyang River is crystal clear, and the two sides are a variety of houses with Jiangnan Huizhou architecture and the style of the southwest minority hanging foot building. Most of them have been developed as homestays and catering industries. In ancient times, the north bank of Hebei was the seat of Zhenyuan's "fucheng", that is, the city residents were located at that time, and the south bank was the seat of the "Acropolis", that is, the stationed troops were located at that time, but this distinction with the development of the city basically no visible difference, and the smooth bluestone road is now mostly a variety of shops. In addition to the main services for tourists around the attractions, other basics are to meet the locals' food, clothing, housing and transportation. Tips: 1. There is a direct train from Guiyang Railway Station to Zhenyuan. After arriving at Zhenyuan Railway Station, there is a bus that can go directly to the ancient city. 2. There are no tickets for the ancient city. Each attraction in the city buys tickets separately. Qinglongdong Building Complex and Shiping Mountain must go. There are several inconspicuous alleys in the ancient city, which are the most charming. 3. B&Bs on both sides of the river must be experienced once. 4. The recommended time for the ancient city tour is at least three days, so that you can feel the real charm. It is not recommended to hurry to watch the flowers.

    Have fun in Zhenyuan, stay at the hotel on the south side of the new bridge, walk along the riverside lane in the morning to Qinglong Cave and Zhusheng Bridge, quiet, the air is particularly good. Next to the south side of the new bridge is the Acropolis - the city wall (picture 12), and walk along the city wall to the vicinity of Panlong Bridge. Shiping Mountain in Zhenyuan is worth a good stroll. After 6:30 in the morning, I entered from Renshou Lane. I went up through Dengjia Tofu Store and went to the fork and walked left in the direction of the Siguandian to climb the mountain. (The ticket office of the Siguandian opened at about 7:30. There is an iron door lock at the entrance to the mountain. The management staff can't enter without opening the door. The management staff probably said that they could not enter Shiping Mountain without buying tickets. After 4 pm, they could not enter. There were no street lights on the trails on the mountain. The road was narrow and unsafe at night. If you didn't listen to the advice, you would be at your own expense.) After passing the four official halls, there was a sign on the mountain, and went left. About 5 minutes to see a separate stone wall is the remains of Zhenyuanfu City, go right along the direction of the city wall (Figure 2) to the top is the Shiping Mountain Observation Deck, the scenery is beautiful. Be sure to climb this wall before 9:30 in the morning, the scenery is unique, drinking coffee, listening to the sound of birds, not far from the chickens and dogs, basking in the sun, too comfortable. From the Siguan Palace to the Shiping Mountain Observation Deck, most of them are downhill roads, not tired, do not want to climb the city wall can also go right at the sign, the road is flat but there is no scenery to see. Go down Shiping Mountain and go to Tiexi Street on the left until Qinglong Bridge, cross Qinglong Bridge and go left until Dongxia Power Station (the bridge in the farthest picture of the picture). This section has not been developed and there is no trail, but next to Wuyang River (Figure 11). The river under the sun is too attractive and beautiful.

    I was bitten by mosquitoes and saw the merchants washing dishes in the river on the side of the road. I watched the long barbecue stall at night. When the night was over, the lanterns lit up and illuminated the long river. It is lively and quiet, lively is someone else's, quiet is yourself.

    The first stop of this Guizhou self-driving tour is the ancient city of Zhenyuan, the country's 5A scenic spot, no tickets, some attractions in the ancient city need to buy tickets separately. Parking is not easy to park, parking spaces are tight, maybe due to the peak summer season. The scenery of the entire ancient city is very good. Wuyang River passes through the city. The commercialization is not very serious. Unlike Qingyan Ancient Town, it has been completely commercialized. I feel that I should stay in the ancient city for one night and experience the night view.
