Guizhou Scenery | Start of Winter, Guizhou's Winter Scenery is Beautiful as a Painting

The Start of Winter is here! It is the 19th solar term of the 24 solar terms, marking the beginning of winter. At this time, life begins to close, and all things enter a state of rest and storage. The climate also transitions from the dry autumn to the cold and rainy winter. ✨In Guizhou, the Start of Winter has a unique charm and offers a great travel experience. The Panzhou Tuole Ginkgo Scenic Area in Liupanshui is known as the "Hometown of Ancient Ginkgo Trees in the World." During the Start of Winter, the ginkgo leaves are at their best viewing period. The ancient trees stand beside the farmhouses, and when the wind blows, the ginkgo leaves cover the ground. The front and back of the houses, the field ridges, the alleys, and the blue tiles are all golden, as if a rain of ginkgo leaves has fallen. Tuole Village, with its golden leaves, is so tranquil and ancient that it is intoxicating. Strolling leisurely here, enjoying the ginkgo scenery, feeling the pure rural life, and tasting the local roasted ginkgo nuts is simply amazing.💛 The Shiqian Foding Mountain Hot Spring Town in Tongren is also not to be missed. It has abundant hot spring resources, beautiful natural scenery, and a rich cultural heritage. In the cold winter, soaking in the warm hot spring water and enjoying the gifts of nature is an ultimate enjoyment. The ancient buildings and simple folk customs in the town will make you feel like you are in a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle.🛀 There is also Yuntai Mountain in Qiandongnan, which is the core area of the "Shibing Karst," a World Natural Heritage site, and has the world's only dolomite karst landform. During the Start of Winter, the mountains are shrouded in mist, and the magnificent sea of clouds often appears.

It is known as the "plant treasure basin, animal treasure house" and is a treasure land for exploring the eastern line of Guizhou. When tourists are on the top of the mountain and look far away, the mountains are surrounded by clouds, like a white dragon rolling, strange peaks stand tall and strange stones are exposed, deep valleys and forests are ancient vines, mountain monkeys climb and birds sing, the morning light shines through the pine forest, the light column is spotted, the mountain flowers emit bursts of fragrance, the thrush jumps on the branches and sings loudly, the ancient pine is tall and straight, and the mountain wind blows, forming a tempting landscape picture, which is praised by poets as "birds in the mountains".

In Shibing, each piece of Miao embroidery has its own cultural island

Miao costumes are known as the history worn on the body, also known as the epic of migration, recording the way of the Miao people. Each type of Miao embroidery, each pattern, each weaving method, are the life codes in the long years, the living history. The embroiderers in the embroidery poverty alleviation workshop of Shibing County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, have integrated the vivid images of ethnic cultural stories into the embroidery works through pens and threads, telling the ethnic stories well, while promoting the ethnic intangible cultural heritage, more than 2,000 Miao women have achieved employment and income increase at their doorstep. In addition, local children have been exposed to this traditional skill from a young age, making the 'intangible heritage' in the mountains glow with new vitality.

The fir river is also a drifting line. It can also be hike on foot. Like the choice of crossing the river, I continue to hike. Take the battery car from the gate of the scenic spot and arrive at the river in about ten minutes. The air is fresh and the water is clear. The water in the river reaches the water quality of the mineral water. Continue to hike along the river. This area is much less than the number of tourists crossing the river, and there are fewer walks along the river. There are steps up and down along the way, just after the rainy road is slippery, and there is no railing on the roadside, it is more difficult to walk. The riverside saw the little friends drifting. The flow of the fir river is relatively flat, and it is not as thrilling as crossing the river. Lifeguards are superb in boat skills and are alone on the rubber raft. I accidentally drifted to the shore, the riverside is the southern karst landform, the mountains are undulating and beautiful. The little friends are having a good time, and they are playing with each other, as if they are going back to childhood. Because the front is not accessible, we will return to the exit on the original road, then take the car to the end of the drifting waiting for them. There is a village at the end of the drifting. From the side of the road, you can clearly see the whole picture of the village. The bright yellow in the green is very eye-catching. The thin river is the fir river, and the whole drifting process takes about 3 hours. When we reached the end of the fir river, the drifting friends also arrived.

Guizhou has many mountains, and many places have inconvenient transportation. Therefore, some beautiful scenery are hidden in the mountains, and the original ecological features have not been artificially developed. In the southeast of Fujian Province, Shibing County, which is not far from Zhenyuan Ancient City, has a scenic spot called Black Chong. It is not famous, and few people know it. Black Chong is a village, the traffic is not convenient, and occasionally there are tourists who go to nearby Yuntai Mountain may pass through here, or they may miss it. If you stop here to see it, the scenery is still beautiful. 1934, the Kuomintang army here "encircled the Red Six Army", the Red Army under the leadership of Ren Biao, Xiao Ke, Wang Zhen led the ropes and cloth with a rope to break through the cliffs of the Black Chong. The Black Chong Battle was the most intense of the Red Six Armys twenty-seven days in the southeast of Yunnan. The scenery here is beautiful, retaining the original ecological environment. There are many beautiful karst landforms in the mountains. The stone pillar stands in the mountains like the Zhangkun column of Zhangjiajie. Mountain vegetation is dense and the clouds are haunting. Perhaps it is because of the geographical environment that it is very easy to see the sea of clouds. used to walk through the well-built scenic roads, and this walk also felt novel on the country road. In the black and nearby scenic spots, I once filmed a movie called "Female Soldiers Returning Hometown". The beautiful mountain village scenery in the movie is impressive.
