Taiji Ancient Town, Ink-Wash Zhenyuan | Searching for a "Living" Jiangnan in the Landscape Paintings of Qiandongnan At seven in the morning, the mist over the Wuyang River has not yet lifted. The creaking sound of an old man carrying water on a shoulder pole echoes on the stone-paved road, and wooden windows by the river open one after another—this is not a stage set, but the real awakening of Zhenyuan Ancient Town every day. While most ancient towns are overwhelmed by excessive commercialization, nestled in the mountains of Qiandongnan, a 2,280-year-old ancient city still maintains its breath and pulse. The Wuyang River flows through the city in a perfect "S" curve, with the old government city on the north bank and the old guard city on the south bank, outlining a natural "Taiji diagram." This place was once the "key to Yunnan and Hunan," a bustling hub for merchants and cultural exchange on the route from Hunan to Yunnan and Myanmar. Today, the smoke of military battles has long dissipated, and the hustle of the water transport docks has turned into tranquility, leaving behind an "Oriental Venice" where mountains, water, architecture, history, and life coexist perfectly. 1. Why Zhenyuan? A "Living" Ancient City Zhenyuan’s uniqueness lies in offering an alternative to the Jiangnan ancient towns and the southwestern Miao villages. The landscape pattern of the "Taiji diagram"—this is Zhenyuan’s irreplaceable gift. From a high vantage point, the emerald Wuyang River divides the ancient city into two, forming a natural Taiji yin-yang pattern. The mountains and water are not just a backdrop but part of the city’s fabric, creating the spectacular scene of "nine mountains embracing one city, one river dividing two guards." The architectural marvel of "Three Religions in One"—the Qinglong Cave ancient building complex is the soul of Zhenyuan. More than 30 pavilions and towers hang entirely on steep cliffs, perfectly blending features of Central Plains palaces, Miao stilted buildings, and Dong dry-pillar houses. It is hailed as the "museum of cliff-hanging architecture in China’s mountainous areas." Even more remarkable is the harmonious coexistence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism here, making it a living fossil of religious cultural integration in China. The "host and guest sharing" living culture—Zhenyuan’s charm is that it is not a vacuum tourist spot. Many locals still live in the ancient city; the person you meet in the old alley might be the ninth-generation descendant of the Fu family. The morning market, washing by the river, and tea stalls on the street together form a "living Scroll of Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival." 2. Before You Go: Transportation and Accommodation How to get there: High-speed trains reach Kaili South Station or Sansui Station, then transfer to a bus. Regular trains go directly to Zhenyuan Station; from there, a taxi costs about 10 yuan or take bus No. 1 (fare 2 yuan) to enter the ancient city. Driving from Guiyang takes about 3.5 hours. 2026 Traffic Regulations: Starting April 2025, the core area of the ancient city will implement time-based pedestrian control—vehicles are banned from 9:00 to 23:00 during daylight saving time (May to October) and from 9:00 to 22:00 in winter (November to April). Self-driving visitors must park in outer parking lots (about 10-20 yuan/day) and then walk or take shuttle minibuses inside. Accommodation options: · Riverside view rooms: The section from Zhusheng Bridge to New Bridge is the first choice, with river night views right outside the window, off-season prices starting at 200-300 yuan. Recommended: Jiangshanji · Jixiang Mountain Residence, featuring a 270° high-altitude viewing platform. · Quiet inns in ancient alleys: Inns in Chongzikou Alley, Sifangjing Alley, and others are quieter and more affordable, with good rooms around 100 yuan in the off-season. For example, "Ren Zai Zhenyuan" Inn, where the owner is warm and the experience is excellent. 3. Core Attractions: Walking Between Scenery and Heritage 🏯 Qinglong Cave Ancient Building Complex—The "Southern Hanging Temple" on the Cliff Guizhou’s largest ancient building complex, built in the early Ming Dynasty, clinging to the mountain and cliff, consisting of six parts including Zhusheng Bridge, Zhongyuan Zen Temple, Ziyang Academy, and Qinglong Cave. Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and guild halls (Wanshou Palace) coexist here, a rare sight nationwide. Admission 60 yuan, online booking 50 yuan. Leaning on the railing in the pavilion to watch the ancient city or listening to the rain while enjoying the view is the most pleasant way to experience Qinglong Cave. ⛰️ Shiping Mountain—The God’s Eye View Over the Taiji Ancient City Shiping Mountain is the northern barrier of Zhenyuan Ancient City, with a main peak of 668.1 meters, about a 30-40 minute climb. From the top, you can overlook the entire ancient city and the "S"-shaped Taiji diagram of the Wuyang River, the best spot for panoramic photos of Zhenyuan. The mountain also has the Ming Dynasty government city wall (Miaojiang Great Wall) and the Four Officials Hall dedicated to four famous generals of the Warring States period, all national key cultural relics protection units. Admission 30 yuan. Best to climb early morning or late afternoon to enjoy the mist or sunset views of the ancient city. 🌉 Zhusheng Bridge—Zhenyuan’s Landmark and the "Throat of Hunan and Guizhou" Zhusheng Bridge is the iconic building of the ancient town, with three layers of pavilions on the bridge, ancient and elegant. It was once the main passage connecting Hunan and Guizhou. Every night, the bridge is brightly lit, and the river reflects the dazzling lights, a spectacular sight. The entrance to Qinglong Cave is at the bridgehead, free to visit. 🏘️ Ancient Alleys’ "Crooked Paths"—Getting Lost Is Also a Pleasure Inside the ancient city are interconnected alleys like Sifangjing Alley, Fuxing Alley, and Renshou Alley, winding but accessible in all directions. The ancient wells, old houses, and bluestone slabs in the alleys evoke childhood memories. These "crooked paths" are the essence of Zhenyuan’s architectural aesthetics—doors open at an angle to avoid straight alleyways, aligning with feng shui and protecting privacy. 🏛️ Heping Village—A Special Historical Memory Originally the late Qing Zhenyuan General’s Office, it became the second Japanese prisoner-of-war camp of the Nationalist Government during the War of Resistance, detaining over 600 Japanese prisoners. Free admission with ID. 4. Zhenyuan Flavors: Sour, Spicy, Fresh, and Fragrant Delicacies Zhenyuan’s cuisine is as rich and blended as its culture. Must-try main dishes: · Sour Soup Fish: Zhenyuan’s culinary signature. Recommended: Miao Boma Red Sour Soup, with vegetable hotpot at 5 yuan per person for all-you-can-eat, and meat dishes at 10-15 yuan per plate, very cost-effective. · Dao Vegetable Braised Pork: Zhenyuan specialty Dao vegetable steamed slowly with pork belly, rich but not greasy. · Tofu Pudding Grilled Fish: Grilled fish paired with tender tofu pudding, rich in texture. The grilled fish street under New Bridge is a great spot for late-night snacks. Street snacks: · Yuan’s Tofu Pudding: A century-old shop, tofu pudding melts in your mouth. · Fried Rice Cake: Crispy outside, sticky inside, with a fragrant sugar filling. · Rice Tofu, Tofu Balls: Common street snacks, 5 yuan fills you up. Alley Rice Wine: Homemade glutinous rice wine from the ancient alleys, sweet and smooth. 5. Itinerary Planning: Best for a Two-Day Leisure Trip 2 days 1 night classic itinerary Day 1: First Encounter with Zhenyuan, Overnight by Wuyang River · Arrive in the afternoon, check into a riverside room near Zhusheng Bridge · Climb Shiping Mountain at dusk to watch the sunset panorama · Dinner with sour soup fish, night cruise on Wuyang River (official boat about 60-80 yuan, 35 minutes) · Stroll the night scene of Zhusheng Bridge, enjoy the dazzling river street lights Day 2: Lost in Ancient Alleys, Explore Qinglong Cave · Early morning walk through Sifangjing Alley and Renshou Alley, experience the "crooked paths" · Morning visit to Qinglong Cave ancient building complex · Lunch at Yuan’s Tofu Pudding, visit Heping Village before departure Money-saving tips · Tickets: Qinglong Cave 60 yuan, Shiping Mountain 30 yuan, half price with student ID · Dining: New city area is half the price of the scenic area, can buy cooked food at Fujiale supermarket · Transport: Taxi from train station to ancient city charges 5 yuan per trip, cheaper for groups 6. A Letter to Everyone Who Yearns for a Slow Life When night falls, sitting on a wooden bench by the Wuyang River, watching the lights reflected in the water and listening to the oars’ rhythm, you will understand Zhenyuan’s preciousness. It does not put on performances to please tourists but calmly lays out over two thousand years of history and present-day life before you. A tourist said it well: "I’ve been to Zhenyuan more than ten times. It’s a slow-paced ancient town with Guizhou’s representative mountains and waters and the simplicity of southern mountain people. The best part is the very low cost." If you come to Guizhou, don’t just visit the Thousand Household Miao Village. Save two days for Zhenyuan, wait for a sunrise on Shiping Mountain, listen to rain in Qinglong Cave, get lost once in the ancient alleys, and watch the lights on Zhusheng Bridge. You will find this Taiji ancient city is waiting with its unique slow philosophy for everyone willing to slow down.

8 Cool Cities by High-Speed Rail During National Day Holiday 01 Yueyang | Hunan The worst thing about traveling with kids during National Day is the crowds. Yueyang is a favorite transit point for me. Take the high-speed rail to Yueyang East Station, and a 20-minute taxi ride will take you to the shores of Dongting Lake. ⏰ In the morning, head to Yueyang Tower. The three-story wooden building isn't too tall; kids can easily climb it themselves. The lake breeze from the top is much more comfortable than air conditioning. ⚠️ The free admission promotion for reciting "The Yueyang Tower Inscription" during holidays has long queues, so don't try to join them; buying tickets directly is much easier. Afterwards, walk along Bianhe Street to the lake and take a boat to Junshan Island. The boat trip takes about half an hour, and the kids can stay quiet on the deck watching the waves for a long time. The island has bamboo groves and tea gardens. Strollers can walk along the main path, but the tea mountain paths have many steps, so parents with children should be mindful of their physical limitations. 🍜 For lunch, we ate "Huitouyu" (a type of fish dish) on Bianhe Street. The slightly spicy version was delicious for adults, while kids could opt for the steamed version. In the evening, we went back to Dongting Lake to watch the sunset. The lake was vast, like a sea. It was windy, so bring a light jacket for the kids. Staying at a lakeside hotel is more comfortable than staying in the city, and you can take another walk in the evening. It's perfect for families who don't want to rush and want to relax for two days. 02 Zhengzhou | Henan Zhengzhou is the most underestimated stop on this list. It's a high-speed rail hub, making it convenient to go anywhere. ⏰ In the morning, we went to the Henan Museum. Remember to book three days in advance, as it's closed on Mondays. The children stared at the Jiahu Bone Flute and the Lotus Crane Square Pot, the museum's prized exhibits, for ages. At noon, we went to Xiliuhu Park, a popular spot for locals to take their kids. There's a shallow area and lawn by the lake; you can easily spend two hours there with just a picnic mat. ⚠️ Some areas along the lake lack railings, so keep a close eye on your children and don't just focus on taking photos. In the afternoon, visit the Zhenwei Water City, an ancient-style street with waterfront walkways—a great way to cool off in the summer. If you still have energy in the evening, Shaolin Temple on Mount Song is about an hour and a half drive from the city center, making it a better option for a separate day. Check showtimes in advance for the Shaolin monks' performance; extra shows during peak season can be crowded. 🍜 For food, Heji Braised Noodles is a local favorite, but the flavor is quite strong; give your kids a small bowl of the original broth. Stay near Erqi Square; the subway goes directly to the high-speed rail station, making it easy to move luggage. 03 Haibei | Qinghai Haibei is the coolest stop in this itinerary, perfect for a National Day holiday. 🚄 Take the high-speed rail to Xining, then hire a car or drive to Qilian. The grasslands along the way are already turning yellow, creating stunning photos against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains. If you're traveling with children, the altitude is around 3,000 meters, so don't let them run or jump too much; let them acclimatize on the first day. The Qilian Mountain Grassland is the highlight; the morning light is soft, and herds of cattle and sheep graze freely. The Heihe Grand Canyon is best visited in the afternoon; it's windy in the canyon, so bundle up your children. Lenglongling and Gangshika Snow Peak are on the same route; just stop at the viewpoint for photos, no need to climb. The Ami Dongsuo Scenic Area has a boardwalk, barely manageable with a stroller, but pushing a stroller at high altitude is tiring for adults. ⚠️ The temperature difference between day and night can reach 15 degrees Celsius, so don't skimp on down jackets. 🍜 Try the yak yogurt and hand-pulled mutton; children might not like it, so bring some snacks. Stay in Qilian County; the conditions are basic but clean. Suitable for older children who can travel long distances by bus; very young children should be considered. 04 Shangluo | Shaanxi Shangluo is hidden in the Qinling Mountains, a 40-minute high-speed train ride from Xi'an, and a hidden gem for escaping the summer heat. Jinshixia is perfect for a full day; the canyon has babbling streams, gentle boardwalks, and is stroller-friendly. ⏰ The valley is less crowded and cooler in the morning. At noon, we ate fish in fermented vegetable soup at a farmhouse near the valley entrance – a tangy and appetizing dish. Tianshu Gorge is wilder, with rocks resembling open pages of a book. ⚠️ Some sections are slippery, so bring non-slip shoes for your children. Mancheng Pass Ancient Town is located on the border of Shaanxi and Hubei provinces. With its cobblestone streets and old guild hall, two hours is just right for exploring. Baita Temple is worth a visit if you're passing by; don't make a special trip for it. 🍜 Shangluo walnut buns and cold noodles are worth trying. The walnut buns are sweet, and kids love them. 📍 The handmade tofu pudding stall at the end of the main street in the ancient town only sells until 10 AM. Staying in Shangluo city, it's about an hour's drive to Jinshixia the next day. This route is suitable for families who enjoy mountains and rivers and don't mind walking. Strollers are possible in the main scenic area, but a baby carrier is recommended for Tianshu Gorge. 05 Gannan | Gansu Gannan is a blend of highland meadows and Tibetan scenery. During the National Day holiday, the grass turns golden, creating a more layered landscape than in summer. 🚄 Take the high-speed train to Lanzhou, then drive or hire a car south. The entire journey involves altitude increases, so allow time for children to acclimatize. The morning mist at Shicheng in Zhagana is a signature attraction. ⏰ Arrive at the viewing platform before 7 AM, as the mist dissipates and the light becomes harsh later. Langmusi Town spans two provinces; its white stupa and prayer flags are very photogenic. ⚠️ Please refrain from loud noise inside the temples; explain the rules to children beforehand. The Yeliguan Tourist Area has many forests and streams, perfect for a leisurely afternoon walk. Gahai Lake is a migratory bird habitat; do not feed the birds, observe them from a distance. 🍜 Try Tibetan buns and butter tea; children may not like the taste, so prepare warm water. Stay in a guesthouse in Zhagana village; the conditions are simple, but the view from the window overlooks the mountains. Suitable for older children who can ride in cars and aren't fussy; not recommended for toddlers or the elderly. 06 Nanchong | Sichuan I only recommend one place in Nanchong: Langzhong Ancient City. Take the high-speed train to Langzhong Station, then a 10-minute taxi ride into the city. ⏰ In the morning, climb Zhongtian Tower for a panoramic view of the continuous rows of blue-tiled rooftops. There's no main entrance fee to the ancient city; smaller attractions charge separately, so buy tickets as needed. 📍 At Huaguang Tower Wharf, you can take a boat trip on the Jialing River; kids will love watching the boats and the water. There are many vinegar workshops in the ancient city, and the aroma of Baoning vinegar fills the streets. 🍜 Zhang Fei beef and steamed buns with white sugar are a must-try; the buns are sweet and soft, perfect as a snack for kids. ⚠️ During holidays, the main street of the ancient city is packed with people, making it difficult to move a stroller; a baby carrier is recommended. Staying in a guesthouse within the ancient city is recommended; the lanterns are even more beautiful at night than during the day. Suitable for families who enjoy exploring and eating but don't want to rush through attractions; half a day to a full day is sufficient. 07 Qinhuangdao | Hebei Qinhuangdao is a long-standing favorite for families with kids to enjoy the sea in northern China. The seawater is cooler during the National Day holiday, but the beaches are still fun. ⏰ In the morning, head to Beidaihe. Watching the sunrise at Pigeon Nest Park requires an early start; be mindful of your child's physical condition. Kids can easily spend the morning digging in the sand and collecting seashells. Shanhaiguan is best visited in the afternoon. The "First Pass Under Heaven" fortress is magnificent, but there are many steps, and strollers must be left at the entrance. ⚠️ It's windy at Laolongtou Beach; bring a windproof jacket if you go in October. 🍜 Locals recognize the famous "Four-Striped Buns"—thin-skinned and generously filled, served with millet porridge. Stay at a beachfront hotel in Beidaihe; prices are lower during the off-season. 🚄 A taxi ride from Qinhuangdao Station to Beidaihe takes about 40 minutes. Suitable for families who want to enjoy the sea with their kids but don't want to travel too far; two days and one night is just right. 08 Changchun|Jilin Changchun is the final stop on your itinerary. It's directly accessible by high-speed rail, and the city's attractions are concentrated. ⏰ In the morning, visit the Puppet Emperor's Palace Museum. It's historically significant, and older children can understand it, but younger children might not be able to sit still. ⚠️ Audio guides are recommended; otherwise, it's a rushed experience. In the afternoon, visit Changchun World Sculpture Park. It features outdoor sculptures and lawns, and strollers can wander freely. Changchun Film Studio is suitable for half a day; the rides are quite thrilling, and there are limited options for younger children. Jingyuetan is a natural oxygen bar, with vibrant autumn colors. You can rent bicycles to cycle around the lake. 🍜 Enjoy Northeastern cuisine. Sweet and sour pork and snow-white red bean paste are popular with kids. 📍 Guilin Road Night Market is lively at night, but don't stay out too late with children. Stay near People's Square for convenient subway access to the high-speed rail station. This is a good way to wrap up your Northeastern trip at a slower pace. These eight stations are all accessible by high-speed rail. Choose two or three to visit consecutively to avoid tiring yourself or your child during the National Day holiday. Tell me in the comments which place you'd most like to visit, and I'll help you plan your route.

It's a great place; you could easily spend a whole day there. My child is quite young, so we rented an electric scooter and rode around for two hours. It's really big! There are also many activities and lots of fun NPCs in the park.
邢曉陽Nanjie Village is an administrative village located in Lin'ying County, Luohe City, Henan Province, China. It is nationally renowned for its adherence to a collective economy, its "wage + supply" distribution system, and its development of red tourism.
悟yzjI always misremember this place and call it Hexia Street. Later I thought that the whole street was built on the river, so it is quite appropriate to call it Heshang Street. As a relatively small city in Henan Province, Luohe City has not many places to visit. Here you can take a walk and learn about history, which is a good design.
山在穷游At Xu Shen Cultural Park, you can learn more about Chinese characters, such as the long Chinese character avenue after entering, the enlarged version of the Shuowen Jiezi (a dictionary of Chinese characters), and sculptures depicting idioms. This not only enriches your knowledge but also enhances your national pride!
whjdThe zoo has a lot of animals, making it a great place to bring kids. There are also many amusement facilities. The park has recently added a new attraction called the Space Walk, which goes around the entire park and allows you to sit on it and see all the animals. I'll definitely bring my kids to play here once it's completed.
M2i***3iShahe River and Lihe River meet in Luohe to form Shali River. Now the Luohe Municipal Government has transformed it into a leisure park, built a square, and developed tourist projects such as cruise ships. It has become a beautiful landscape in Luohe City.
好景致[Scenery] A small town I saw on TikTok, I'll check it out on the weekend😁 [Fun] There are many ladies and Hanfu performances [Value for money] It seems to be free Let's go out for a walk after the epidemic,😛
张可爱呀啊The famous Xiaoshang Bridge is said to have been built in the fourth year of the Kaihuang reign of the Sui Dynasty, which is 584 AD, and has a history of a thousand years. If you look closely, you will find several traces of wheel tracks on the deck of the stone arch bridge. The person in charge of the scenic spot told me that in the past, this was the official road leading to the capital, and horse-drawn carriages often passed through the bridge. After years of rolling, the hard bridge deck was worn out by deep grooves by the wheels.
睡恣@M丶It truly lives up to its reputation as a world-class tourist attraction; even in the off-season, it was packed with visitors. We spent 5-6 hours admiring the Buddha statues and enjoying the river views. The Xishan Grottoes, though not numerous, have their own unique charm. We didn't see much of the Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling villas at Xiangshan Temple, as we've seen plenty before 😓. Bai Juyi's tomb was serene, but unfortunately, the calligraphy was all done by Japanese people, so we didn't want to look at it. Longmen Ancient Street has many reputable brands, so it's worth a stroll.
