Feiyun Cliff Scenic Area is located by the Shengguo Bridge, Dongpo Township, east of Huangping County, Guizhou Province. It is one of the top ten scenic spots in Wuyang River Scenic Spot. , with detailed historical records and many inscriptions by literati in the past dynasties, it is quite famous in China and Guizhou. The Yuetan Temple was built in the eighth year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty (1443). Later, through the addition and expansion of the generations, a group of unique ancient buildings with religious buildings, ethnic buildings and garden buildings have been formed, which have won the reputation of "the first ancient temple in Guizhou" and "the first cave in southern Guizhou". Ming Dynasty philosopher Wang Yangming praised it: "The mountains in the world gather in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the beauty of Yungui and Guizhou are gathered in the cliffs." Among the famous scenic spots in Guizhou, Feiyun Cliff is a place with many literature descriptions and tourists' inscriptions, which are still preserved to this day. It is rich in poems, couplets, cliffs and steles, so people call it the "cultural rich mine" of Guizhou. Every year on April 8th of the lunar calendar, there is an unprecedented national gathering (for three days). During the festival, various ethnic songs and dances, bullfighting, horse racing and other programs are colorful, and the ethnic customs are very strong.

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is a collection of over ten natural villages built along the mountainside, inhabited by the "Xi" clan of the Miao people. The village features layers of wooden stilt houses on the slopes, with coffee-colored old houses nestled against lush green mountains. The Baishui River divides the village in two. The side of the river (to the left after entering the Xiaobei Gate for travelers) is mainly a commercial pedestrian street, while the opposite side (to the right after entering the Xiaobei Gate for travelers) is primarily the viewing platform overlooking the village. Upon arriving at Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, you'll see a gate with the plaque "Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village" after getting off at the parking lot. From this gate to the village is a 1.5 km walk, which you can cover either by electric bikes or on foot. After this 1.5 km stretch, you'll encounter another gate similar to the one at the parking lot, also bearing the "Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village" plaque—this marks the true entrance to the village. First drink the welcoming wine, then enter the village. The first thing you see is the commercial pedestrian street, selling a dazzling array of Miao ethnic specialty products. The most eye-catching are the Miao silver ornaments. Kongbai in Xijiang town of Leishan near the Miao village is a well-known silversmith village, where almost all the men master the silver ornament making techniques, and the craftsmanship of Miao silver is exquisite. The performance venue in the pedestrian street area offers Miao ethnic song and dance shows. You can also visit the Xijiang Miao Ethnic Museum and the Drum Head's House (the Miao king's residence, where a bronze drum is enshrined). Alternatively, take a stroll along the Baishui River to see the wind-and-rain bridges with roofed eaves sheltering from the elements, or the low, narrow wooden plank bridges. At the end of the village lies a pastoral landscape, where even during peak season few visitors come. Across the river is a station for electric bikes to the viewing platform, but walking there isn't far, and several spots along the way offer excellent views. Upon reaching the viewing platform, wait for nightfall—the grand spectacle of Xijiang is just beginning. Thousands of lights illuminate from beneath the eaves of wooden stilt houses, dotted like stars to outline the entire Miao village in the shape of an ox head. It's hard to imagine such a brilliantly lit scene in a mountain village. Returning to the viewing platform at dawn, the Miao village is shrouded in mist as the first sunlight gilds the wooden houses golden. Smoke curls up from chimneys, marking the start of a new day. In Miao villages, you can often see Miao women with their hair buns coiled on top of their heads and adorned with large flowers. Just looking isn't enough—you can also rent a few sets of Miao costumes to dress up as a Miao woman yourself. It's especially beautiful and very popular among young women. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village has mature tourism development, with no worries about food and accommodation. For dining, the famous option is the long-table banquet. Restaurants in the village will often ask if you'd like to try it—simply joining tables to make them longer counts as a long-table banquet, serving as a fun experience. The authentic long-table banquet is held outdoors, with dozens of tables connected end-to-end, sometimes so long that you can't see from one end to the other. These are set up during important festivals or when significant group tours visit, so don't miss the chance if you encounter one. The cuisine of southeastern Guizhou tends to be sour, and the village's specialty dishes include sour fish soup, pickled vegetables, and cured meat.

It is a very remote place, 40 minutes away from the bus of Huangping County. Most tourists drive there by themselves. Because, from the bus to the intersection, you have to walk one kilometer. How can there be such a beautiful scenery in such a remote place? I can't figure it out! I searched and found that this place was the main traffic route from the Central Plains to Myanmar🇲🇲 through Guizhou and Yunnan, as well as the post station. Such a beautiful and exquisite classical garden has been preserved. Guizhou officials from all dynasties have left their footprints and calligraphy here. It is really worth a visit. It is not in the same direction as the Jiuzhou Ancient Town in Huangping County, but it is a long way from the north. The bus next to the bus station in Huangping County runs once an hour. It is really difficult for me to travel alone. There are similar national key cultural relics protection units around, and 5A attractions are better than nothing.

Rafting was sooooo fun! It was an absolutely unprecedented experience. The cave rafting experience was fantastic, and the cascading waterfalls were so thrilling. You'd really regret it for life if you didn't try this rafting!

Jiuzhou Ancient Town belongs to Huangping County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. It is located in the northwest of Huangping County, bordering Xinzhou Town to the east, Shangtang Township and Yedonghe Township to the south, and facing Langdong Township and Weng'an County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture to the west.

Shanmu River is located in the mountains of Shibing County, Qiandongnan Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. The annual water flow is 4.2 cubic meters per second. It is known as the "Mineral River" because of its pure water quality and safe self-guided rafting. If the scenery is the only attraction for tourists, Shanmu River is nothing in Guizhou, where there are many real mountains and real waters. However, as a river with fast currents, rafting on Shanmu River is another highlight in Guizhou. If you get permission, you can even drift directly to the county seat.

It rained heavily the night before, and for safety reasons, the rafting didn't start until noon. Although we waited a long time, it was still worth it. The canyon was serene, and the water quality was good. Except for the last section, which was a bit thrilling, the water was mostly calm, making it suitable for both the elderly and children.

We really enjoyed visiting Xijiang Miao Village! During the day, the village is relatively quiet and peaceful, but as evening approaches, it truly comes to life and takes on a special charm, with its beautiful atmosphere and illuminated traditional houses.While the main streets are lovely to explore, we highly recommend wandering off the beaten path and walking further up into the village. This is where you get a better glimpse of the traditional houses and everyday local life, beyond the more touristy areas.We were also lucky enough to catch a traditional performance in the village square, which was a lovely and interesting experience.Overall, a wonderful place to visit, especially if you take the time to explore beyond the main streets and discover the quieter, more authentic corners of the village. We would definitely recommend it!

Zhenyuan Ancient Town is a 5A-level ancient town in Guizhou with a history of over a thousand years. The S-shaped water system of the Wuyang River creates a unique Tai Chi landscape. The biggest highlight is that the ancient town is open to the public free of charge, with restrained commercialization, preserving a strong local atmosphere. The stilted buildings, ancient alleys, and Zhusheng Bridge are highly recognizable, and the night view has a remarkable atmosphere, making it suitable for leisure, relaxation, and photography.
