The lakes, waterfalls, and colorful forests of Jiuzhaigou make people feel like they are in a fairyland on earth. 4. Changbai Mountain: You must bring your loved one here, the whole Tianchi and water monsters are confessing to you. In winter, Changbai Mountain is covered with snow, like a beautiful painting. 5.

May Day holiday is over, we avoided the peak travel season and signed up for a group tour to Guizhou that we had been longing for on Ctrip. Some experiences: 1. The cheap air tickets booked on Ctrip, the outbound flight of 9 Yuan Airlines was delayed for three hours, and we arrived at the hotel after 11 pm. The return flight of West Air was delayed for more than an hour, and we arrived home at almost 1 am. The seats could only be at a right angle, which was uncomfortable for me with protruding intervertebral discs, neither standing nor sitting. 2. Very tired! Average of over 20,000 steps per day, mostly climbing mountains! The first day at Huangguoshu Waterfall was okay, the waterfall was quite magnificent, but we, in our seventies, were deterred by the Water Curtain Cave. The second day at Fanjing Mountain, it was cloudy at the foot of the mountain and raining on the mountain. After hearing from young people who came down from the mountain with strong bodies, "I didn't see anything!" we took the cable car back without hesitation. None of the people who continued to climb the mountain reached the summit, and most of them returned disappointed after reaching the Mushroom Stone. They regretted it and were fortunate for their foresight. 😄 (It is said that there are 300 days a year when you can't see the scenery). In the morning of the third day, we visited the ancient town of Zhenyuan, which left a good impression. There were few people, it had history and heritage, and the commercial atmosphere was not too strong. No need to climb mountains, suitable for the elderly. In the afternoon, Qianhu Miao Village had too strong a commercial atmosphere, and the commercial street was full of humanistic landscapes created for tourism. There were photo studios everywhere renting Miao costumes for taking pictures. We experienced the long table banquet and had a good time. The night view was lively, suitable for young people. On the fourth day, we visited the Seven Small Arches, with the small arches as the main attraction. It was indeed a bit like what the tour guide said: looking up to Zhangjiajie, looking down to Jiuzhaigou, and enjoying the pleasant scenery of small Guizhou in the middle. Guizhou Province is not small, but Jiuzhaigou is more magnificent and colorful. If you can't go to Jiuzhaigou, go to Seven Small Arches. 3. The accommodation was okay, especially for the first three days. Qianhu Miao Village was the worst, with a slight smell of sewage, and we could still hear people talking in the corridor at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night. I don't know if it's because the room faces the corridor and has bad feng shui. 4. There are many Guizhou snacks, some of which are delicious, such as the pie with meat filling. Some people like to eat sausage and intestine noodles, but most of them don't suit their taste, especially the folded ear root, which is absolutely delicious for Guizhou people. 4. Our tour guide was quite responsible and attentive, and the young driver's service attitude was funny and cute. I have selected a few photos of Seven Small Arches and Zhenyuan Ancient City. In short, avoid the peak travel season for tourist attractions!
