Then depart for the Wujiang Village scenic area;
Hidden within the beautiful green mountains and clear waters of northern Guizhou lies a picturesque and tranquil village. Stilt houses and terraced fields stretch along the banks, and the wooden buildings exude a simple and elegant atmosphere. Wujiang Village offers completely different views during the day and at night. During the day, it resembles an ink painting of a Jiangnan water village, while at night, it feels like traveling through the Tang Dynasty, with its own unique sense of mystery and ethnic minorities. Every weekend, the scenic area also hosts many NPC activities and performances organized by the scenic area.
Compared with Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, Wujiang Village is not very commercialized. Here you can find suitable camera positions to your heart's content. It is also the filming location for many popular variety shows.
After a good time, go back to the hotel and rest early in the evening.
Day 2 Wujiang Village → Twelve Backs → Shiqian Hot Spring Town
All day
Tourists who get up early can stroll around the village and see the morning of Wujiang Village, and then gather to go to the Twelve Behind Scenic Area;
This is a land of caves, home to Asia's longest cave, formed 700 million years ago. Over four decades of exploration and development have culminated in the diverse experiences available today, making it the epitome of Guizhou's mountain outdoor activities. The adventure park offers caving, river tracing, rafting, and cross-country/marathon activities, offering opportunities for leisure sightseeing, outdoor adventures, and ecological research.
We have specially arranged a unique cave experience [Galaxy Cave Via Ferrata]. Under the demonstration and explanation of the coach, everyone wears professional equipment, learns about safety precautions and equipment usage, and then enters the Galaxy Cave.
This is China's first via ferrata, a journey of upward pursuit, chasing the light. Explore the Yinhe Cave cave system, traverse the cave walls on a tightrope, and explore the Emerald Heart of Yinhe Cave. Experience a 30-meter vertical climb, traverse the canyon on a wire rope, and admire the gurgling underground river and turquoise pools. The scenery is breathtaking below, and the journey upward requires courage.
Kind tips:
Requirements for the Twelve Behind Cave Via Ferrata experience: 12-60 years old, height above 1.4 meters, weight within 90KG.
If you are not satisfied or do not want to play via ferrata, you can replace it with the [Underground Fissure] cave tour with a tour guide.
After the tour, go to Shiqian Hot Spring Town to check in (please bring your own swimsuit for hot spring bathing)
Shiqian Hot Springs is one of China's oldest hot springs, first established in 1606, the 34th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty. With over 400 years of history, you can watch the mountain mist rise from the ancient 45°C hot springs and savor the drinkable water. Shiqian is a place where wellness is embedded in the folds of the karst landscape!
Day 3 Shiqian Hot Spring Town → Fanjing Mountain → Zhenyuan Ancient Town
·morning
After breakfast, depart for [Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area]
Fanjing Mountain stands out as a unique gem in Guizhou, a region rich in karst landforms. Its unique metamorphic rocks, unlike the more common limestone found in Guizhou, are so hard that the springs flowing from the mountain are clearer and offer a unique landscape. Take a shuttle bus to the cable car entrance and ascend. After the cable car, climb the steps for 30 minutes to the Mushroom Rock. You can also continue your ascent to Old Golden Summit and Red Cloud Golden Summit. Due to Fanjing Mountain's unique geographical location, with luck, you may even be able to see vast seas of clouds. It is said that those with a strong connection to Buddhism can even see the Buddha's halo at the top of the mountain.
We've specially arranged a blessing event at Fanjing Mountain during the Miao New Year celebrations. Prayer spots throughout the Fanjing Mountain area have draped the vast expanse of Fanjing Mountain in a solemn and magical atmosphere. Wishes made in the Brahma Pure Land, the Sky City, should soon be fulfilled!
Tips: Fanjing Mountain is one of the six famous tourist attractions of Guizhou. You need to queue up for ticket checking, taking the bus, and the cable car. Please be patient!
·afternoon
After going down the mountain, we set off to Zhenyuan Ancient Town, known as the Venice of the East.
This is a strategic point of land and water in northeastern Guizhou, with a history dating back 2,280 years. It is one of the oldest and largest historical and cultural cities in Guizhou. Located on the banks of the Wuyang River, the ancient city is surrounded by mountains and traversed by a river, creating a unique landscape of "nine mountains embracing the city, a river dividing it and protecting it." It is known as the "key to Yunnan and Chu."
The blue bricks, black tiles, wooden doors and stone steps, together with the ancient alleys, ancient wells and ancient bridges, form a "living" scroll of winemaking in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. We walked into the alleys of the ancient city and into the "rice wine shop" of the ancient city people to taste the [rice wine tea break].
After the tour, check in to the Zhenyuan Ancient Town Hotel
Day 4 Zhaoxing Dong Village → Daqikong Scenic Area → Libo
·morning
After breakfast at the hotel, we will proceed to Kongbai Miao Village, the first silversmith village in China.
Nestled deep within Leigong Mountain in Guizhou, the village has been resonating for millennia with the clanging sound of silver hammers, a national code and cultural symbol honed by the descendants of Chiyou. Silver jewelry has survived the Miao migrations in Kongbai. Upon arrival in Kongbai, we'll visit the home of Long Taiyang, the inheritor of Miao silver jewelry and "village keeper." China-TravelNote will arrange a silver forging experience, where you can forge your own silver jewelry under the guidance of a Miao artisan (you can take the finished product home as a souvenir).
·afternoon
After the forging, we went to [Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village] to play and stay
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is a thousand-year-old painting held in the palm of the mountains.
The stilt houses here are stacked up from the foot of the mountain to the clouds, as if someone has folded time into rows of wooden buildings. The Baishui River runs through the village like a soft silk ribbon, stringing together the Miao people's silver jewelry, batik and flying songs.
When night falls, thousands of lights light up at the same time, and the entire valley turns into a flowing sea of stars. We recommend that you go to the observation deck to enjoy the fireworks of Guizhou.
Tonight we will stay at the hotel in the Miao Village Scenic Area, giving everyone plenty of time to explore the Miao Village freely.
Day 5 Xijiang → Guiyang Airport/Station Transfer
All day
Tourists who get up early can get up and visit the Miao village in the early morning, or they can have a good rest and get enough sleep.
The Miao village in the early morning resembles emerald green freshly washed by mountain springs, resting quietly in the embrace of the mountains. In the distance, the crowing of roosters and the sound of a Miao grandmother opening her door drift in the distance, along with the aroma of firewood and glutinous rice, which slowly permeates the moist air.
Check out in time and return to Guiyang to disband, and send to Guiyang Airport/High-speed Railway Station, ending a pleasant journey and looking forward to meeting you next time.
