[Guizhou Travel Guide] A Foodie's Chill Guide to the Magical Rafting in Shankaka

📌 Must-Visit Attractions Recommended
1. Huangguoshu Waterfall
- Guizhou's "super shower head," recommended to wear sandals because the splashes will enthusiastically wash your feet! (More spectacular in the rainy season, but beware of turning into a "wet temptation")
- Hidden fun: the water curtain cave behind the waterfall, be Sun Wukong for a moment and post on social media: "Checked in at Monkey Brother's old home today."

2. Libo Xiaoqikong
- "The green gem on Earth's belt," water so clear it can reveal your single status (suggest wearing sunglasses, the lake's reflection looks like a beauty filter).
- Money-saving tip: wear slippers! You can step into the water anytime and save on rafting fees.

3. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village
- The night view is as beautiful as a remake of "Spirited Away," but don't expect to meet No-Face, only enthusiastic Miao girls urging you to drink rice wine (if you have a low tolerance, run fast).
- Enjoy free morning performances, rent Miao costumes for photos in the afternoon (bargaining phrase: "Boss, I'm a student!").

4. Fanjing Mountain
- 5 hours hiking, 5 minutes photo-taking, but the sea of clouds at the summit will make you forget your weak legs (not for those afraid of heights, strong winds at the top, hairstyle? Forget it).

🍜 Foodie Radar Activated
- Guiyang Snack Streets (Erqi Road / Qingyun Road)
- Changwang noodles with pork blood and fatty intestines, a cholesterol triple delight.
- Siwawa vegetarian spring rolls, locals call it "a dieter's self-deception."
- Zhe'er Gen, Guizhou's soul food, one bite can tell if you're a local (friendly reminder: order cautiously, tastes like fish mint soaked in medicated oil).

- Sour Soup Fish (most authentic in Kaili)
Sour enough to make you question life, but you can't stop eating it. Recommended with rice, or your toilet will protest the next day.

- Qingyan Ancient Town Pig Trotters
Braised, soft and glutinous, known as the "collagen bomb," fairies eating pig trotters, please give up on controlling your expressions.

💤 Money-Saving Accommodation Tips
- Choose homestays near Huaguoyuan in Guiyang, 100-150 RMB/night, convenient transportation, and so many night snack stalls they can fatten you up.
- Miao Village mid-mountain inns (around 150 RMB), open the window to see the whole village panorama, downside is climbing stairs until you question life (be cautious with heavy luggage).
- Budget hotels in Libo County for 100 RMB, money-saving secret—ask the owner: "Is your WiFi fast?" (fast internet usually means newer facilities).

🚗 Transportation Insider Tips
- Guizhou attractions are scattered, recommended to combine "Guiyang + surrounding areas," high-speed rail to Kaili/Anshun is super convenient.
- Mountain bus rides are long, prepare motion sickness medicine and snacks (or you'll be so hungry you'll want to chew the seatbelt).

🎁 Souvenir Recommendations
- Can't afford Moutai from Maotai Town? Bring a bottle of affordable sauce-flavored liquor and brag at home: "This is Moutai's cousin."
- Bobo candy / dried Rosa roxburghii, a must for sweet lovers, when giving to colleagues say: "Eat this, no crying during overtime!"

💡 Ultimate Advice
Guizhou's weather is like a girlfriend's mood—unpredictable, always bring an umbrella when going out! Also, don't compete with locals on spicy food unless you want to experience a "fire-breathing show"🔥
