A Quiet Time by the Wuyang River: A Trip to Zhenyuan Ancient Town

Today, I'm going to take you to a picturesque place: Zhenyuan, Guizhou.
The moment I set foot in Zhenyuan, time seemed to slow down. The Wuyang River runs through the city, and the ancient buildings on both sides of the river are well-arranged. The lights at night are as bright as stars, which is an unspeakable romance.
Here, every corner is worth taking a photo. Strolling on the ancient street and feeling the temperature of the bluestone slabs, it seems that you can hear the whispers of history. Climb Shiping Mountain and overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Zhenyuan. My heart is full of shock and emotion.

Accommodation
There are many hostels in Zhenyuan Ancient City. It is recommended to stay in a river-view room by the river, preferably with a balcony, which will be more expensive. The advantage is that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Wuyang River. The rooms with street views will be much cheaper. It is more suitable to travel during off-peak periods.
