Away from the hustle and bustle, Zhenyuan will make you fall in love with a city silently

📍Zhenyuan Ancient Town

🎞Zhenyuan Ancient Town is located in Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. The north bank is the old prefecture city, and the south bank is the old garrison city. The city is built along the water, with many ancient buildings, traditional residences, and historical docks!

💦That day in Zhenyuan was very quiet,
There were few tourists, and it was already evening when we arrived.
Because it was not a weekend, the streets were almost all local residents.
There were not many vehicles on both sides of the river. We drove all the way to the homestay,
After putting down our luggage, we changed into sportswear and visited the ancient town. There are quiet alleys, ancient buildings, and ancient bridges and streets connecting both sides. Walking on the road, no one even noticed that we were tourists. This feeling of blending into a city is wonderful!❤️❤️❤️

🍃Accommodation Recommendation: Mountain Wind River Sound · View Homestay (by the Wuyang River)
①The homestay is located next to the downtown area, very quiet!
②The homestay just opened in 2023, very new, clean, and comfortable, with a simple and creamy style that young people love!
③The homestay is equipped with smart home appliances throughout the house, also equipped with a washing machine, Dyson hairdryer, etc. The bedding quality is very good, you can have a beautiful sleep! More importantly, the cost performance is quite high!
④The room type is a first-line river view room, with different views during the day and night. You can walk to the river from the homestay, quietly enjoy this ancient town along the way, and feel the comfortable evening breeze. It is very pleasant in spring when the temperature is suitable!🌱

🥂Food Recommendation: Miaoxiangyuan Local Restaurant
👉Located by the river, they have indoor and outdoor seating. When we arrived, it was just at sunset, and you can take photos with the warm sunset light in the outdoor seats!☀️
Recommended dishes: ①Tofu Grilled Fish (the tofu is particularly tender, you can add more tofu); ②Mugwort Cake (rich in mugwort flavor, crispy and soft); ③Fried River Shrimp (you can ask the owner to make it less dry, also very delicious);
👉The owner is very enthusiastic, giving homemade rice wine to every table, and asking customers' preferences to decide the spiciness and taste of the dishes, always caring if the customers are satisfied. The mugwort cake was a gift from the owner, and it was a full plate, very generous. I was warmed by the owner's enthusiasm!❤️

🎞Zhenyuan Ancient Town was a planned trip, but it brought unexpected gains. Compared to Xijiang · Qianhu Miao Village, it is less commercialized. This thousand-year-old town, known as the "Oriental Venice," gave me an unexpected intoxication!
