In May, we opened our coffee house ☕️ in the village~                  —— Lei Tun Village in summer 🏞️ brings a bit of lazy leisure. The river meanders like a belt, gently surrounding the sandbar, the lakeside is full of green grass, the cattle 🐮 bow their heads to gnaw the grass, the white geese 🪿 walk across the shallows with their heads held high, occasionally fluttering their wings to start a ripple. The Dome Coffee House☕️ is hidden in this dynamic rural atlas - a hut 🛖 next to the sandbank, with gray tiles and white walls symbiotic with nature. The open windows in the house are the viewfinders of nature, freezing the scenery of the four seasons.                  —— The coffee house☕️ was renovated from an old house. The exterior continues the simplicity of the village, but the interior hides the ingenuity of modern design. The wall to the ground has adopted red brick color elements, simple and warm, the log round table glows warm luster, the vintage copper chandelier above the head hangs warm yellow light, cast mottled shadows on the wall. The window is the most attractive location, looking up is the sandbar: the old man holding the buffalo 🐃 crawling across the stream, the sound of crickets and flowing water intertwined into a long background sound. Walking out of the coffee house, you will reach the sandbar, where you can camp 🏕️, picnic 🧺, fly kites 🪁 in summer... With the mellow aroma of a cup of coffee, we quietly blend the poetry of the countryside with the fireworks of the human world. The coffee beans are selected from the high mountains of Yunnan and carefully roasted by craftsmen, with aromas of red tea and plum fruit. If you prefer hand-brewed, you might as well try the "Oiran", the hand-brewed kettle slowly pours, the fruity aroma of Ethiopian sun-dried beans in the air, with a dessert, let the sweetness and the mellow bitterness of coffee quietly collide. If you want to cool down 🧊, we also have cool sparkling water 🍹 and milk tea 🧋~                  —— The coffee house is just a few minutes away from the B&B. The B&B retains the elements of traditional folk houses in its design, like an old house growing out of the new countryside. In the craftsman's house, time seems old but new. The old one is the swaying arc of the chandelier, the rings deep in the wood grain, the everlasting noise of the geese flock; It can accommodate the tiredness of the city and the poetry of the countryside. If you pass by the sandbar, you might as well push the door and sit, let the fragrance of grass and coffee, for you to note the appearance of this summer.

Liping, Guizhou, a must-visit place for Long March history enthusiasts👍🏻 Family members, friends who like the history of the Long March, Guizhou is really worth a visit! Important turning-point meetings that led the Red Army to victory, such as the Liping Conference, Houchang Conference, Zunyi Conference, and Gouba Conference, were held here. Classic battles such as the Tongdao Turn, the Forced Crossing of the Wujiang River, the Bloody Battle of Loushanguan, and the Four Crossings of the Chishui River were also fought here. The Red Army left precious footprints on this land. Liping is a key town in the history of the Long March, where you can still find stories and traces of those years. 🗺Attractions Introduction Qiao Street is the oldest street in Liping City. There are many ancient buildings, including the site of the Liping Conference, the former site of the exchange office of the National Bank of the Chinese Soviet Republic, the former site of the Central Bureau Office, the former residence of Bo Gu and Li De, the Lianghu Guild Hall, and the Gospel Hall. Walking on this street, you can see local old people and children 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, as well as old pharmacies and clinics that are still in business, and of course new snack bars, clothing stores and cultural and creative stores. Standing at one end of Qiao Street, there really is a wonderful feeling of the interweaving of years and the intersection of time. 🚗 Transportation to attractions - Self-driving: Starting from Guiyang, it takes about 4 hours🚗 - High-speed rail: Congjiang Station is the closest 🚅 - Airplane: Huangping Airport, but not many flights ✈️ 🗺 Tour route First go to Qiao Street, starting from the street, and visit various historical sites in turn 📜 to feel the weight of the history of the Long March.

Friends who love to eat novel foods should not miss it; there is also the Dongjia pickled fish, which is salty and delicious and is a local traditional food. 💰Cost related Most of the scenic spots are open to the public free of charge, and if you drive yourself, the main expenses are gas and tolls.

For example, Jianglu Gengdudi and Longxingchong TEATEL, you can check the prices and make reservations online in advance. As for eating, the snack bars are more affordable and you can have a good meal for only a few dozen yuan per person. 📌Other tips It has been raining a lot in Southeast Guizhou recently, and the weather is very cool. 🌦Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out, because it may be sunny one second and raining the next. However, walking and visiting in the rain also has its own unique flavor. In addition, I strongly recommend watching the TV series "The Great Turning Point". I have watched it twice. After watching it, you will come to Liping again, and you will have a deeper understanding of this period of history.

In the gentle breeze of September, I stepped into Longli Ancient Town in Jinping County, surrounded by the green mountains and clear waters of southeastern Guizhou. This ancient town has a history of over 600 years, and every brick and tile reveals the vicissitudes and charm of history. 🚶‍♀️ Walking on the bluestone road, there are simple wooden buildings on both sides, and the carved window lattices reveal the gentleness of the years. The ancient city is not large, but it is well laid out. The military fortress style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties is well preserved, as if traveling through time and space, back to the era of war horses. 🏛️ Visit the ancestral halls and ancient houses in the ancient city, each of which hides the rise and fall of the family, which makes people stop and think. Especially the iconic ancient city gate, which has witnessed countless comings and goings, and still guards this land firmly. 🌳 Strolling to the edge of the ancient city, it is lush and lush, and the distant mountains and nearby rice fields are interesting, a beautiful pastoral landscape. Here, time seems to slow down, making people forget the hustle and bustle, just want to quietly enjoy this tranquility. 🚗 Self-driving is convenient for parking, and there is a dedicated parking lot outside the ancient city. The tickets are also affordable, and you can easily step into this historical journey. 🌅 The setting sun sets, I am in a corner of the ancient city, sipping a cup of tea, watching the clouds roll, and my heart is full of awe and love for this ancient land. Longli Ancient City, a place worth slowing down and savoring carefully.

🏨 Longli Ancient City 🌟Highlights: Longli Ancient City, located in the green forest sea (Chunlei Forest Farm) in the eastern part of Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, is a Ming Dynasty military fortress with a history of over 600 years. ❤Recommended Reasons: I strongly recommend Longli Ancient City to friends who are interested in ancient city tours! Unlike other ancient cities, Longli is not highly commercialized, and the traditional residential layout is still preserved within the ancient city, with Han traditional customs well maintained. If you are interested in the history of Ming Dynasty garrison, you can come to Longli. The city defense layout is basically preserved (it is said that there is a secret passage at the north gate). If you are interested in Ming and Qing traditional architecture, you can come to Longli. The residential houses (Yinzi houses) here basically follow the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with distinctive features such as horsehead walls, wall paintings, wall carvings, and courtyard layouts.

Guizhou Qiandongnan ~ The isolated island of Han culture by the Qingshui River! Many people never thought that there is a Huizhou-style ancient city waiting in the boudoir among the towering mountains of Guizhou Qiandongnan, which is full of Miao and Dong villages ~ Longli! Compared with Zhenyuan, Qingyan, and Bing'an, Longli, one of the 'Four Ancient Towns of Guizhou', is much more low-key. The 'ancient city in the rice field' depicts its soft image for travelers, and the 'Han neighbor of Miao and Dong in the forest' reveals Longli's unique gene in Qiandongnan. The locals believe that this military fortress built in the Ming Dynasty has a history that can even be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. It used to be the place where the poet Wang Changling was exiled, and its name was Longbiao at that time. Among the many ancient cities full of stories in southern China, Longli Ancient City, located on the border of Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, is unique. Due to the military operations and cultural input of the Ming Dynasty in the southwest, Longli has a lot of soft details in its strong character. Longli Ancient City was built in the 19th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1386), originally named Longli, and renamed Longli in the Qing Dynasty, meaning 'the reason for prosperity!' Although the ancient city is not large, the labyrinth-like streets may have to be walked two or three times to be slightly familiar. The appearance of the ancient city read in the Ming and Qing novels is laid out in the streets! Because it had to follow the needs of the battle at that time, Longli was designed as a military fortress that could both be a soldier and a farmer, and its defense system design was very precise. The overall outline of the ancient city is approximately rectangular, and a moat has been excavated around the city wall, with four city gates in the east, south, west, and north. The city is centered on the old site of the original Qianhu Yamen, and three main streets are built in the east, west, and south. The three main streets are divided into six lanes, and the streets and lanes divide the entire city into nine relatively independent residential areas, which is the local slang 'Three Streets, Six Lanes, and Nine Courtyards'. The ancient city streets are all paved with cobblestones to form a tortoise back-shaped flower street surface, inlaid with various patterns, and after hundreds of years of grinding, it is already quite smooth. The houses in the city are all built of high-quality wood, with a rigorous structure and excellent craftsmanship, overflowing with the remnants of the Tang and Song Dynasties and the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The most characteristic building is the 'Yinzi House' that has survived the disaster. The houses are neatly arranged along the street, all of them are three-room two-bedroom firewall-style buildings, with green bricks, black tiles, horse-head walls, and lime decorations on the walls, which are lifelike. The 'Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Relatives, and Teachers' spirit tablets are mostly offered at the entrance, and the door beams are either the county's 'Suhu', 'Hongnong', or the famous 'Commander', 'Kaike', or the family motto 'The family is in the body'! The inscription on the door beam reveals the uninterrupted spirit of Han traditional culture here. Qingyang Gate is the east gate of the ancient city, and it is now covered with vines. The bell ringing with the wind is crisp and melodious. This three-story four-eave Xieshan Zan pointed roof style Ming Dynasty city tower is quite good-looking, and it has long been a symbol of Longli!

🤔I want to stay in all the B&Bs in Jianglu This time I came to Qiandongnan, Guizhou Leitun Village, Jinping County, Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture Came to this beautiful village known as the "most livable village" in Guizhou ✅Leitun Village "Who embroidered the well town of the thousand-year-old ancient village and the Wannian Tower? It is a blessed place with green mountains on one side and water on three sides." The couplet in front of Daming Tower in Leitun Village is enough to explain the history and culture of this place. The village is located in the southeast of Jinping County, on the banks of the Liangjiang River, which flows around the village. Leitun Village has a profound cultural and historical heritage and has a history of more than 600 years. There are still some cultural relics preserved here, such as Daming Tower, Dingzi Street, Wanmin Umbrella, Nine-hammer Gong, Zhu's Ancestral Poem, Jiangjun Rock and Jiangjun Ferry. The Zhu Clan Ancestral Hall, built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, still has clearly visible white walls, green tiles, and horse-head walls, as well as the colorful murals on the interior walls. Many of the houses here are built with fir wood, with gable roofs covered with small green tiles, which is simple and practical. Leitun Village also has dozens of acres of sandbars. When the season and weather permit, you can play in the water, fly kites, camp and barbecue. ✅B&B: Wei Chi Jinping Jianglu·Gengdudi Villa Here are rural construction spaces that combine contemporary design with local traditional dwellings. The traditional gate contrasts sharply with the eye-catching name on the side. ✅Public area ✔️Fir trees can be found everywhere here Traditional wooden structure and white walls Added warm lights and hollow metal curtains Metallic lighting and flowers carefully prepared by the store 💐 This place easily achieves the perfect fusion of traditional and modern design ✔️The outdoor swimming pool is just a stone's throw away from the river Lying on a lounge chair, you can listen to the gurgling river. You can also talk to the stars at night ✅Room The original wood color design is matched with light gray bedding White bathtub, black vase decoration Plus the green tiles and green leaves outside the window There is a faint fruity scent in the house, and you can even smell the scent of fir. The fatigue of the journey hit me instantly, and I just wanted to take a hot bath and sleep. ✅Transportation Jinping County South Bus Station Take the bus - Dunzhai Town - Leitun Village 🚘9 kilometers from the Dunzhai exit of Songcong Expressway
