I. Qingyan Braised Pig's Trotters The braising liquid for these pig's trotters is made from over ten kinds of precious Chinese medicinal herbs, simmered over a low flame. After cooking, it's served with local specialty Shuanghua vinegar, creating a truly authentic Qingyan pig's trotter experience. The trotters are incredibly fragrant and tender, rich yet not greasy. Qingyan braised pig's trotters have a long history, dating back over a hundred years, and are also known as "Zhuangyuan Trotters" (Scholar's Trotters). II. Huang Family Rose Sugar Qingyan Huang Family Rose Sugar originated in Jiangxi and was introduced to Qingyan during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is made using a traditional Huang family recipe, now improved by Huang Linsheng, the tenth-generation inheritor. Using high-quality ingredients such as malt, glutinous rice, and rose petals, it undergoes thirteen meticulous processes with spring water. The result is a sweet and refreshing drink with the soft, chewy texture of malt and the delicate fragrance of rose honey, making it an excellent choice for tourist souvenirs. III. Prickly Pear Glutinous Rice Wine Prickly pears are a popular food, but their uses extend beyond just eating them directly; they can also be used to make wine. The people of Qingyan Ancient Town all know that wine brewed from prickly pears is exceptionally fragrant and mellow, with a unique flavor and texture. It is precisely because of this that prickly pear glutinous rice wine has become a major specialty of Qingyan Ancient Town, attracting a constant stream of visitors every year. Prickly pear glutinous rice wine not only tastes delicious but is also very beneficial to health. It is rich in various amino acids, vitamins, and active substances beneficial to human health, and has effects such as anti-cancer, anti-epidemic, cholesterol-lowering, and prevention of coronary heart disease. IV. Qingyan Chicken Chili Peppers Because freshly cooked chicken chili peppers don't taste as good as cold ones, they have now been developed into a convenient food product. Produced in bulk, customers can pick them up as they arrive, which is both convenient and quick, and the taste is even better than freshly cooked chicken chili peppers. Besides the above-mentioned delicacies, Qingyan boasts many other unique and delicious snacks, such as Yangjia Salted Vegetables from the Ancient Town, Iced Yangmei (Chinese bayberry), Wooden Hammer Crisp, Guizhou Bull Demon King (a type of pastry), as well as Lao Tusi Filled Cake, Miwang Shanlan Crisp, Qingyan Tofu, Tofu Fruit, Tofu Balls, and many more, too numerous to mention. V. Lao Tusi Filled Cake This is a traditional Han Chinese snack from Guizhou, a customary food for the Qingming Festival. The history of making this cake dates back over 100 years, with many specialized stalls operating throughout Guizhou before and after the liberation. Early cakes were shaped like mooncakes, with fillings including ham, red bean paste, rose petals, and white sugar. They were pan-fried in a little lard over low heat until both sides were slightly golden brown, resulting in a fragrant, crispy, and sweet treat. Today, the varieties of cakes in Guizhou vary greatly depending on the fillings, and their flavors and shapes are also diverse. VI. Wooden Hammer Pastry Wooden hammer pastry is made by mixing cooked sugar syrup with roasted dried fruit, placing the mixture on a homemade work surface, and then quickly pounding it with wooden hammers by two strong men until it forms a thin, crumbly paste. It is then cut while still hot. It is fragrant, crispy, and sweet but not cloying. The dried fruit used is made from carefully selected green ingredients such as osmanthus, monk fruit, walnuts, peanuts, and sesame seeds.

This is a very worthwhile attraction. It's quite impressive. The courtyard isn't large; an hour is enough. There are Nuo opera performances at 12:30 and 15:30. I stayed a little longer to wait for the performance, but I really enjoyed it.

The scenic area features karst topography, with its main attractions being caves. These are divided into dry caves and water caves, and also include a hundred-step bridge, waterfalls, viewing platforms, and a zipline. A visit to the entire area takes approximately 3-4 hours. Be extremely careful where you step in the water areas, and avoid muddy areas, especially mud on rocks!

"Monkey King Showdown" Observer: Create a fun "Monkey Watching Guide" to guide visitors in observing the social structure of the monkey troop, identifying different roles such as "Monkey King," "Sentry," and "Nanny," increasing the educational and storytelling aspects of the visit. • Safe Feeding Experience: In designated areas, provide park-sold monkey food (such as peanuts and fruit pieces) along with a card outlining "Ten Rules for Interacting with Monkeys," emphasizing not provoking, not showing food, and not looking directly at the monkeys. • Macaque Photography Contest: Launch a social media campaign encouraging visitors to upload interesting photos of macaques, with regular awards and park-themed souvenirs. • "Fu" (福, meaning good fortune) Character Check-in Route: Design a "Path of Seeking Fortune" from the mountain gate to Hongfu Temple, collecting "Fu" character stone carvings or signs in different fonts along the way, culminating in a final check-in at Hongfu Temple. • In-depth Blessing Ceremony: Promote the "Qianling Mountain Blessing Three-Piece Set": lighting incense, ringing a bell, and tying a "Fu" ribbon. Especially the "Fu" belt, which could be designed as a trendy, monkey-themed item perfect for photos under ancient trees. * Vegetarian Cuisine Experience: Position the vegetarian food at Hongfu Temple as a "must-try after hiking," emphasizing its "light, healthy, and Zen-like" qualities, creating a stark contrast to the spicy cuisine of Guiyang at the foot of the mountain. * Boating on Qianling Lake: Create a romantic "urban forest boating" experience, highlighting its high cost-performance ratio and excellent photo opportunities. The lake and mountain scenery at sunset is particularly captivating. * Viewing from Kanzhu Pavilion: Promote this spot as "an excellent vantage point for overlooking Guiyang city," ideal for capturing stunning cityscapes and time-lapse photography. * Exploring Qilin Cave: Incorporate the history of General Zhang Xueliang's house arrest, telling the backstory to enhance the historical depth of the visit.

It is unexpected that the Jiaxiu Tower, a landmark of Guiyang built in the Ming Dynasty, is a free attraction. You can visit the tower from 9:00 to 18:00. The water is sparkling in the morning and the scenery is beautiful.

There weren't many people when we went, so we didn't have to wait in line. After checking in our bags at the entrance (10 yuan), we picked them up at the landing area. Then we changed clothes, put on helmets, and were given bamboo poles to get on the boat. The water was clean and relatively cool. There was even a rain shower, which delighted the children.

The scenery is beautiful, with cenotes, caves, and waterfalls on rainy days. It is very interesting, you can climb rocks and swing on swings, and young people prefer these cool sports. There are many elements to play, it is worth visiting!

Immersive movie-watching experience, 2 adults and 1 child, good value for money, can save 100 yuan, parking is also convenient, and it ends with singing the motherland. Patriotic education is good. There is nothing wrong with it except that it is a little expensive.

This is my second time bringing my kids here. As they are happy, I am happy too. During the rafting process, I found that the safety measures here are sufficient. My two kids floated ahead of me and I arrived safely at the destination.
