Guilin was one of the few tourist destinations for Chinese at that time, and the lyrics expressed a young man's desire to travel. Unfortunately, he was not idle enough and did not have money.

Follow the Phoenix TuoJiang River to find the footsteps of the literary masters and experience the magic of Tibetan Buddhism by listening to the solemn chanting words of the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa. Sometimes the heavens and the earth are very large, standing on the edge of the first bay of the Nine Curves in Gannan, you will see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky; sometimes the heavens and the earth are also very small, the elegant Jiangnan water town and the small bridge flowing water people, in fact, it is less than three hours' drive from the bustling Shanghai Beach... Seven days of dashing will be unfinished, and even a five-day trip will be enough to make yourself happy for a while. This book selects the eighteen most popular routes in China, spanning the north and south of the river, with local customs and customs, written by self-help demonstrators, and continues the consistent practical principles of "Tibetan Antelope Self-Help Tour", providing very humane guidance in the seven days of scheduling, catering and accommodation, scenic recreation and other aspects.

Dali Ancient City has preserved a relatively complete Bai style of residential buildings, is one of the first batch of historical and cultural cities in China.
The north and south of the ancient city still retain the complete tower, and the majestic south gate has a plaque with the inscription "State of Documents".

The main tower, also known as Qianxun Tower, is a square hollow brick tower with a dense eaves, with a bottom width of 9.9 meters and a height of 69.13 meters, with a total of 16 steps. The top of the tower has a copper bowl and a tower brake, which is similar in shape to the Xi'an Small Wild Goose Pagoda, and is one of the typical tower styles of the Tang Dynasty.

Dali - Lijiang - Lijiang Ancient City - Mufu Compound
Lijiang has become synonymous with "petty bourgeois paradise". Leave Dali, about three or four hours to reach the long-awaited Lijiang, the first day to walk around the ancient city, in the plateau sun in a daze.
Budget: accommodation 20 yuan + catering 30 yuan + transportation 50 yuan + ticket 10 yuan = 110 yuan
Lijiang Ancient City "Xiaoqiao Liushui People's Home" was originally used to describe the style of Gusu residential buildings, but when you walk into Lijiang Ancient City, that is, Dayan Town, you will find that there is not only the charm of Jiangnan Water Town, but also the harmony between some people and nature.
This is an ancient city built on a flat dam surrounded by mountains on three sides and open to the outside in the south. The area of the city is about 3.8 square kilometers, which was built at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of about 800 years. A branch of the ancient Modi (known as moxi in ancient times) moved the center of its rule from the ancient town of Baisha, where the ancestor of the Mu clan, a man named Arian Ahu, chose the site and began to build a city with a main civil structure. All the houses in Dayan Town were built without a single nail, and completely used the wooden structure of the bucket type; the rational use of water resources is a major innovation of the ancient town. When the water of the Yuquan River flows to the Yulong Bridge, it is divided into three branches of east, west and middle into the city, forming a city water system flowing around the city, so that there is a river flowing in front of each door, and the square street in the center is slightly convex, and the surrounding depression, when the sluice gate is closed, the water that flows through the ground flows to each street, washing the colorful stones laid on the ground clean.
According to relevant sources, Quadrangle may be the only square in the world with an automatic flushing function, but unfortunately this function was destroyed during the restoration of the old city. One of the biggest differences from other ancient cities in China is that dayan town has no walls and is open all. There are two different views on this point: one theory is that the hereditary toast surname Mu, who built the town of Dayan, if the city wall is built, it is equivalent to trapping the wood; the other theory is related to the openness of the Naxi nation. Walking into Dayan Town, you will naturally have your own judgment. On December 4, 1997, the ancient city of Lijiang was inscribed on the World Heritage List by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee.
Wooden Mansion Compound A Naxi court-style building that imitates the Forbidden City.
The Mufu in the ancient city of Lijiang was rebuilt on the original site. The main building of mufu is modeled after the pattern of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Wooden Arch, Stone Arch, Yimen, Council Hall, Ten Thousand Scrolls Building, Protector Hall, Guangbi Building, Yuyin Building, Sanqing Hall, and Wooden Family Courtyard form a central axis, and the entire building complex is quite royal. The reconstruction of the Mufu compound was completed in 1999 with a world bank loan. 10 yuan
Lijiang Ancient Town - Shuhe Ancient Town - Spruce Ping
In addition to Sifang Street, not having been to Shuhe Ancient Town and Spruce Ping is equivalent to not having been to Lijiang. Shuhe Ancient Town is closer to the ancient city, half a day is enough; Spruce Ping is farther, but the traffic is quite convenient, so half a day is enough.
Budget: accommodation 20 yuan + catering 30 yuan + transportation 150 yuan + ticket 60 yuan = 260 yuan
Shuhe Ancient Town is similar in layout to Lijiang Ancient City, as if it is the epitome of another Dayan Town, but it is more secluded, with a very smooth bluestone pavement trampled on, and clear spring water flowing around the village.
Out of the ancient city of Lijiang to the north, there is a dense village, which is the shuhe ancient town of the mountains and rivers. The Great Stone Bridge and Dajue Palace, built during the Ming Dynasty, are still well preserved, and the murals inside vividly depict the figures in Buddhism. Longquan Temple, built in the Qing Dynasty, is dedicated to the ancestors of cobblers, because it was once a gathering place for Leather Goods in Lijiang. Compared with the current Dayan Town, it is a little more tranquil, and if you like the ancient city of Lijiang, you will definitely like it.
Shuhe Ancient Town is about 6 kilometers away from Dayan Town, and renting a bicycle will not take long to reach. There are privately rented minibuses outside the ancient city, which can be sold for about 5 yuan.
As soon as you enter Lijiang, the first thing you see is the Yulong Snow Mountain, which is composed of 12 snow peaks, the main peak fan steep altitude of 5596 meters, is still an unconquered virgin peak. The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is also the closest group of snow-capped mountains to the equator.
The Spruce Ping Alpine Meadow Scenic Area is a more traditional route in Lijiang's travel routes, with an earlier development time and greater impact. The route is: Lijiang Downtown - Ganhaizi - Baishuihe - Spruce Ping.
The altitude of Spruce Ping is 3200 meters, the climate change is uncertain, and the average annual temperature is only 5.5 °C, so it is necessary to be prepared for cold protection and anti-alpine reaction before going up the mountain. There is a parking lot at the bottom of the hill where there are commissaries, public toilets, restaurants, etc., and you can also rent down jackets and oxygen bags. From here, take the ropeway (known locally as the small ropeway to distinguish it from the large ropeway) to Spruce Plain. The No. 7 bus in the city is direct, and it is also possible to charter a car or take a taxi. The 60 yuan mountain entrance fee is a special fee for mountain forest protection. There is an additional charge for taking the ropeway on spruce plains. You can also ride a horse up the mountain, riding a mountain road is not as fast as the speed of running on the grassland, the horse is completely a means of transportation, and the people who rent horses in the Baishui River are local ethnic groups.
Be sure to negotiate the price before riding, including round-trip ones, so as not to be unpleasant at checkout. Generally around 40 yuan. When hiking, the most important thing is to pay attention to altitude sickness and pay attention to adjusting the body. The mountain road is not very smooth.

Lijiang - Shangri-La - Kadan Songzanlin Temple
Diqing is the terminus of northwestErn Yunnan, and if you leave From Lijiang in the morning, you can generally reach Shangri-La County, the capital of Diqing Prefecture, at noon. The altitude here has reached more than 3,000 meters, and the average person will have different degrees of altitude sickness. Songzanlin Temple is relatively close to the county, and it is more appropriate to arrange it on the first day.
Budget: accommodation 20 yuan + catering 40 yuan + transportation 60 yuan + ticket 10 yuan = 130 yuan
Kadan Songzanlin Monastery is very similar in appearance to the Potala Palace in Tibet, so it is also known as the "Little Potala Palace".
Built on a mountain and facing a lake, Kadan Songzanlin Monastery is magnificent, solemn and mysterious. Legend has it that in ancient times, a high monk passed by here and saw flocks of birds flying in the air on the hillside, so he predicted that this place would be a gathering place for monks in the future. Coincidentally, when the Fifth Dalai Lama personally fixed the temple site, he had the admonition that "the forest is clear and the shore is clear, and the golden bird from heaven is playing in the middle", which cannot be said to be a small fit. After the completion of the temple, the Fifth Dalai Lama gave the name Kadan Songzanlin Monastery, which contains the meaning of "all manifestations of tantra are not cultivated at one time, in order to make the dharma of impurity continuously benefit all sentient beings and make it perfect, specially built this temple."
Built in 1679, the temple is the premier temple of Tibetan Buddhism in Yunnan. Covering an area of 330,000 square meters, the temple has a strong, thick castle wall and 5 gates. The temple is a 5-storey Tibetan-style carved building, the main hall can accommodate 1600 people to sit and chant, the hall also enshrines the bronze statues of the Fifth Dalai Lama and the Seventh Dalai Lama, as well as many Buddha statues and Baye Sutras, colorful gold juice exquisitely painted thangkas, golden lamps, ancestral ritual instruments and other treasures of the past. There are more than 700 monks in the temple.
When the weather is clear, rush to Songzanlin Temple before sunrise or sunset, and the temple becomes more mysterious and majestic in the morning and sunset.
The route to Kadam Songzanlin Monastery is the same as in Napa Hai and can be arranged on the same day.
In Shangri-La County, the 3rd station on Long March Road can be directly reached by a small public bus for 1 yuan, and only 10 yuan is required by taxi. 10 yuan
Shangri-La County - Bita Sea - Napa Sea
The Bita Sea is a must not miss. It takes most of the day, and it's worth the extra time. If you have enough time, you can go to the Napa Sea.
Budget: accommodation 20 yuan + catering 40 yuan + transportation 50 yuan + ticket 10 yuan = 120 yuan
The Pitta Sea Car reaches the Double Bridge, and the rest of the road can only be on foot, or on horseback. The ancient trees towered and covered the sky, except for the walking of people and the ringing of the horse gang, only the sound of the wind. Occasionally, the wooden houses of the horse gang appear in the woods, and the snow-capped mountains can be faintly seen in the distance, which is a journey without dust and noise. Just this headless forest is satisfying, and it's even more exciting when the lake and the bulging islands in the lake finally appear in front of you.
May is the most beautiful season in the Bita Sea, with lush trees, azaleas, meadows as gentle as carpets, and small flowers dotted with stars. Because the fish are gluttonous and fall into the petals of the water, they become drunk, and they have the "cuckoo drunk fish", which is a unique scene here. In fact, this is because the leaves of rhododendrons contain slight poison, and after falling on the surface of the water, they are swallowed by swimming fish, making the fish float on the surface of the water as if drunk. When the moon rises, the old bear also comes to the water's edge to catch the drunken fish in the water. It's just a legend, few people have seen it, but even if there is no "old bear fishing", it is already like a fairy tale world.
Shangri-La County Bus Station has a bus to Shuangqiao, about 20 yuan. The road ends at about 25 kilometers, the remaining 7 kilometers can only be hiked or riding horses, most of the horses are rented by locals, 25 yuan / person one way, 50 yuan / person two-way. You can go on a boat so you can see the colorful meadows on the other side of the lake. When the season is right, you can see a lot of wildflowers. Wooden boat 20 yuan / person, speed boat 40 yuan / person.
Napa Sea A seasonal alpine lake. If you come here in winter, in the midst of a depression, the black-necked cranes known as the "highland fairies" fly over this water; in the summer and autumn, it is another scene in the world of flowers, green grass and barley.
Napa Sea means "lake behind the forest" in Tibetan, and this season the lake has different scenery throughout the year. At the turn of summer and autumn, it is a grassland, a carpet of flowers and meadows and barley, and in winter it becomes a wide body of water, like a huge mirror, reflecting the shadow of a black-necked crane overwintering. Now more birds visit the highland lake, such as yellow ducks and spotted geese, which fly over this wide meadow and add vitality to the lake.
To Napa Hai, you can take a small bus in Shangri-La County, 3 to 5 yuan. 10 yuan

Catering
Rice noodles and wild mushrooms are two things that must not be missed when visiting Kunming. And in Kunming, you can taste all the local flavors of Yunnan.
Jianxin Park is located next to the Telecom Building of Donghua Community. There are no song and dance performances here, and it is a place often visited by Kunming people, because the taste of rice noodles across the bridge here is not bad.
Bridge Noodle World is located near Yonto Park. There is both a good dining environment and a good dining quality, so many people choose here.
Wild Mushroom Garden is located near The Yinhai Hot Spring Garden on Guanxing Road in Guanshang. Wild mushrooms are of course the green food that best meets the dietary standards of modern people, and more than 40 kinds of wild mushrooms can be eaten in wild mushroom gardens all year round. One of the main features here is the hot pot fungus. The usual experience is that the umami taste of the fungus is dissolved in the boiling soup. Of course, other cooking methods can also be selected.
Part I: Southwest China - Northwest Yunnan (6)
South Station Restaurant is located opposite the Municipal Party Committee office on Zhujin Street. Authentic Dian taste and renovated old houses make this a great place to eat and relax.
Fifty-year-old Kunming is located at the intersection of East Huancheng Road and Baita Road. The name of the store does not sound like a restaurant, and what people want to highlight is the sense of age. Most of the dishes can evoke the memories of the old Kunming people, so the consumption level is not much higher.
Old Zhiqing Restaurant is located on Cuihu South Road. At that time, Dehong and Xishuangbanna were the places with the most knowledgeable youth in Kunming, so it is not difficult to imagine why there is such a shop name here. Dai-flavored pickling and frying are very authentic, and it is said that some of the ingredients are airlifted from the local area. Of course, the real Dai flavor is still eaten in the Dai settlement, because many production methods can be learned, but the essence is still in the birthplace.
Tengchong Flavor Restaurant is located at the intersection of Fengning Community, near the News Center of Baima Community, opposite Tuodong Pickle Factory on Tuodong Road, and a total of 4 stores in Area C of Beidamen Food Street. Tengchong flavor is a representative branch in Yunnan, especially tengchong bait silk and "big rescue" as the most famous; in addition, tengchong flavor in the large flakes, crispy fire, etc. are its representative dishes. Now to eat in Kunming to eat a more authentic "big rescue", here should be the first choice.
Dali's three-course tea is almost a sign of Dali, so it must not be missed. Eryuan milk fan is a unique food in Dali, and Dali's bait is also good.
Dali Three Teas Was first used by the Dali Bai family as a kind of etiquette for receiving son-in-law, and after development, this etiquette has become the highest etiquette for bai people to receive visitors. The so-called one bitter, two sweet, three aftertaste. Bitter tea is mostly roasted, because of the bitter taste and named, folk also known as Xianglei tea; sweet tea is because of the addition of walnut chips and brown sugar in the tea and tea taste sweet; the third course adds honey, pepper, some also add roasted yellow milk fan, drink up there is an unspeakable aftertaste, so it is also called aftertaste tea.
Dali Ancient City Literature Building, Dali Nanzhao Cultural City, and the three teas in the Xizhou Yan family compound are more authentic, and the songs and dances there are as evocative as the three teas, 25 to 30 yuan.
"Lijiang rice butter tea", chicken bean cold powder, the taste of Lijiang is already between the Han and Tibetans.
Lijiang rice dumplings are divided into sweet and salty two flavors, crispy and delicious, and not easy to moldy and deteriorated, just eat and then steamed or fried, as if it is crispy. It is because of this feature that Lijiang Candy was once a necessary dry food for the Ma gang caravan, and its reputation did not go away. Near the Mufu compound, there is a small shop specializing in Lijiang rice dumplings, which are famous for selling Lijiang rice dumplings, and many locals also buy them there. From the extent to which the "Lijiang Cang" sign hanging in front of his door was blackened, we can tell how long the history of the small shop is.
Like Lijiang rice, butter tea is also divided into sweet and salty flavors. Mix ghee, eggs, salt, hemp seeds, peanuts, walnuts, etc., add the simmered tea water, put it in a slender wooden tube, and stir repeatedly with a wooden stick. The locals also call it butter tea. It is the main way of drinking tea for many ethnic groups in Lijiang, and it is also a necessary food for them to start the day.
For people who drink butter tea for the first time, the first sip will feel very strange, but if you insist on drinking another sip, then you can appreciate the mellow aroma, of course, without others to please, you will take the initiative to drink. Sweet butter tea has a heavier fishy taste, and first-time tasters are best to start with a salty taste.
If you just want to taste the taste of butter tea, you can ask for half a barrel first, so that it is not wasted.
Butter tea and rice dumplings are the main foods in the Diqing area. Butter tea is a must-have drink for collectors, rice dumplings are often eaten three times a day, and pasta and rice are usually staples in dinner.
The Diqing region is located on a plateau, with a cold climate, mainly producing barley and wheat, and only a few river valley areas produce rice and corn. Butter tea is first boiled into a special tea, then added ghee, salt and spices, in a wooden cylinder to mix it thoroughly, and finally fused together, poured out with a bamboo filter and then drunk. Because of its extremely high calories, butter tea can eliminate the cold and replenish the calories needed by the human body, so it is the best drink in The Diqing area. Rice dumplings are also made of ghee. Shangri-La County's butter tea has a heavier flavor than Lijiang.
Barley wine is brewed with barley and is one of the main drinks for hospitality in Tibetan areas. Enter the homes of Tibetans, who always greet you with barley wine.
Barley wine is pure in color, long in taste but not easy to intoxicate, and the brewing of barley wine has a history of thousands of years. There is now a "secret" made of barley, similar to wine. It is said to have been invented by missionaries who entered Shangri-La County, and the taste is different from ordinary wines, with a slight sour taste of barley wine, which is very special.
Arrival and departure
Yunnan is located inland, and air, railway and road are the three ways to get in and out of Yunnan, and airplanes are the best choice to get in and out of this mountainous province.
Aviation Yunnan is very convenient for air traffic.
Yunnan is located in southwest China, after entering the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the terrain is mostly mountainous, and the modern tool of the train often cannot play the speed it deserves here, so there is the strangeness of "the train does not run faster than the car" in the Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan. Therefore, traffic problems have always been a major problem that plagues the development of Yunnan. Saving time is the main reason to travel in and out of Yunnan by plane, and in case of discounted air tickets, then flying should be the first choice.
Yunnan is one of the five major international airports in China, in addition to Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Diqing, Baoshan, Mangshi (Luxi), Simao, Jinghong, Zhaotong 8 prefectures also have airports, some with cities outside the province directly connected. Except for Diqing, these cities have daily direct flights to Kunming. During the peak travel season, diqing has direct flights to Kunming on other days except every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Yunnan Civil Aviation Company has not had any major flight accidents so far, and has a good reputation among civil aviation systems and passengers.
Yunnan is a big tourism province, so if you choose to travel during the Spring Festival and longer holidays, you must book tickets with the airline in advance.
After the railway speeds up, it is comfortable to travel by train.
In the case of Beijing to Kunming, for example, the speed increase is 72 hours before the speed increase, and after the speed increase, it takes only 48 hours. The carriage is fully enclosed and air-conditioned, and the train attendant delivers water regularly, cleans up, and leads everyone to do morning exercises every morning. The management of the carriage is also particularly strict, and it is difficult for idle people to enter the carriage, and the safety is strong. If you have a good time, it is quite comfortable to take the train.
Chengdu (Du) Kun (Ming) Line, Gui (Yang) Kun (Ming) Line, South (Ning) Kun (Ming) Line are the main railway trunk roads in Yunnan Province, and are connected with the national railway network, reaching Chengdu, Guiyang, Nanning, or any city along the line can continue to the south, and finally reach Kunming to complete the Southwest Secret Journey.

West Street An old street that has experienced more than 1,400 years of ups and downs, paved with bluestone slabs. The green brick and green tile houses, the high cornices, the doors and windows are hollowed out, elegant and exquisite, telling the story of the past and the present... Antique calligraphy shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, Internet cafes and craft shops line the streets. In this remote small town in western China, on this 500-600-meter-long street, it attracts more foreigners than Hong Kong's Lan Kwai Fong, who carry huge bags and come and go. You will find that the density of "foreigners" here is higher than that of the embassy district in Beijing.
English is the lingua franca of West Street, the uncle of the antique calligraphy and painting shop, the little sister in the western restaurant bar, the aunt who drives a three-wheel rental bicycle, and even the old woman who sells bananas and oranges, all speak English and communicate with foreigners, if you do not see it with your own eyes, it is really difficult to believe that Yangshuo is so "international".
When night falls, Yangshuo Bar Street comes alive. On one side of the street, antiques and souvenirs are peddled, Mandarin, Guangxi, and various foreign dialects fill the humid air, the vendors are clever, and the banknotes communicate between ancient and real in the night. On the other side, the rich and warm Yangshuo Bar Street flows gently in the light and shadow, with a charming charm.
Bar Red Star Express assortment, Tuna pizza are the most recommended, and local beef steak, black pepper steak and garlic bread are also excellent. The owner is a tattooed Singaporean named Ali. There are coats, muskets and ethnic ornaments hanging on the walls, several foreign car brands nailed to the bar, and the most eye-catching is the red five-pointed star at the door, a bar with a quite delicious taste.
Traveler Cheese Cured Pizza, Beef Mashed Potato Pie, Rosa, Spaghetti With Meat Sauce, And Duck with Western Orange Sauce are all delicious. The owner is a very simple local sister called Xiao Zhang. On one wall facing the door of the restaurant is a portrait of the bar's hardcore customers, and on the right wall is a dense collection of signatures and messages to see if you can find a small place and sign your name.
Under the Moon Restaurant is called "under the moon cafe" in English, which is a very romantic name. On a summer afternoon, on the balcony on the second floor, order a drink and look at the tourists weaving west street, it is very pleasant.
Mingyuan Coffee The most elegant coffee shop in Yangshuo, the owner is a polite Mr. Taiwan, and the wife is a virtuous and beautiful Guilin lady. Sit in the shop, taste the mellow coffee, experience the rich cultural connotation of coffee, look through the mood book left by tourists, and piece together those messy and complicated mood stories.
Lede Restaurant The original Jiangxi Guild Hall, a very typical Chinese building, has a very large square at the door, in the summer, full of parasols, the brakes are good-looking. The owner is a muscular Frenchman who loves Chinese kung fu. It is known as an authentic French meal, but it is indeed a bit Chinese, huh.
KARST Western Restaurant Although the restaurant is small, it is not lacking in warmth. The owner ECHO has a unique cohesiveness and highly recommends the assorted pizzas and gins here.
"No" restaurant "No breakfast" is worth trying. 20 yuan / serving, absolutely hearty: freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee, musli (yogurt + cereal + fresh fruit pieces), two omelettes or scrambled eggs, ham or cured meat, two slices of toast with butter and jam.

Ordinary bicycles and mountain bikes are 5 yuan / day; high-end mountain bikes with good shock absorbers and transmissions, such as "Giant" cars, cost 8 to 10 yuan / day; double couple bicycles are 10 yuan / day.
It is best to choose a mountain bike to ride a country road, and a tandem bike is not suitable for walking on the trail. Buying a pair of gloves to wear at a department store can prevent the palms from framing long rides.
From Yangshuo to Moon Mountain, it takes about 9 kilometers by bicycle, about 1 hour, and 6 kilometers away from the Gongnong Bridge, and the Yulong River, known as the Xiaoli River, meanders to the east and flows into the Li River.

Budget: accommodation 30 yuan + catering 20 yuan + transportation 20 yuan = 70 yuan
Incense Burner Mountain Located 9 kilometers from downtown Kaili and 1233 meters above sea level, Incense Burner Mountain is named for its resemblance to an incense burner. Incense Burner Mountain is closer to Kaili, it is more difficult to climb, no admission fee, someone once wrote: "Unfortunately, this famous attraction cannot be ignored, if it is listed in the Central Plains, the Five Mountains are difficult to accompany." This means that it is a pity that the Incense Burner Mountain is in the middle of the lofty mountains in the southwest, and if it is in the Central Plains, even the three mountains and five mountains are incomparable. It may be an exaggeration, but the beauty of the landscape is evident here. Moreover, in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the climbing festival of the nearby Miao people also surrounds this mountain, and there is another scene of incense burner mountain at that time.
At the foot of The Incense Burner Mountain, there is a milk well spring, and the spring water flows out of the stone crevice shaped like a nipple, and the spring water is sweet.
There is another dangerous place in Xianglu Mountain, called Lingyuntai, which used to be called "Miao Wang Cave", it is said that there was a large stalagmite in the cave, inheriting the Miao King Ruiqi, so the Miao peasant uprisings used this place as a command post. The first to call the cave MiaoWang Cave was the Ming Dynasty Xianglu Wagon Bowl Village Rebel leader Ah Bang, because "Xuan You" was a Miao leader, in order to boost morale, he hung the statue of Xuan You on a stalagmite and named this cave "Miao Wang Cave". After 300 years, another Miao rebel general, Zhang Xiumei, also made Miao Wangdong his headquarters. Of course, they failed one after another, and the Miaowang Cave was also destroyed by the Qing soldiers, until the seventh year of qing Guangxu (1881 AD), taoists and monks returned to the incense burner mountain and built a statue of Guanyin in the cave, from which the Miaowang Cave became Lingyuntai. Go to the mall road and take a minivan to Furnace Hill and talk to the driver about Huzhuang. This is the entrance to the mountain, and the fare is about 3 yuan.

Xiasi was an important material distribution center in southeast Qiandong, with groups of horse gangs and merchants gathering, and businesses, warehouses, guild halls, and restaurants were all over the streets and alleys, and they were open all night. Nowadays, Xiasi is also like a general developing town, demolished and built everywhere, only the west street of the town still retains the 30-meter-long stone-level large pier and small pier built in the forty-fourth year of the Qianlong Dynasty (1779), as well as the ruins of ancient temples and temples such as Yuwang Palace and Guanyin Pavilion, as well as several ancient laneways. The tomb of Wu Chuansheng, the general who defended the yuan at that time, was also in Baotiezhou, 1.5 kilometers away from Xiasi.
In fact, the most famous part of Xiasi is the dragon boat race of the Dragon Boat Festival every year, and people from eight townships in all directions gather on both sides of the Qingshui River, and if you want to come, it is best to choose this time. There is a place called Taoyuan Island in the Shimizu River around The town of Shimoji, and there are some entertainment facilities on the island, but you can also play.
Tonggu National Painting Village A small village 4.5 kilometers away from Xiasi, the women in the village are versatile in painting and have a strong ethnic flavor, and are named "China's Modern Folk Painting Township" by the Ministry of Culture. Tonggu Village is called "Li Brother" in Hmong language, which is a combination of the two major ethnic groups of the local Miao people, "Li Jia" and "Ge Jia". Only the primary school in the village is a brick building, and the rest is maintained in its original style, which is a bit of a paradise. If you want to see ethnic paintings, you can go to the showroom of the township government office building, or just find a woman to ask, they expect the painting to sell, will be enthusiastic to introduce, the asking price is about 100 yuan / sheet.

It is best to negotiate with the driver in advance to let him pick you up, otherwise you can only find a two-wheeled motorcycle with locals in The Drum to take you out. Go hiking to the copper drum is also OK, from the bridge of the Xiasi Bridge, the left-hand fork opposite the Xiasi Middle School, the time is about 1 hour, the road is difficult to walk, and it is even more difficult to walk when it rains.
Zhouxi, Qingman Miaozhai Zhouxi and Qingman are not far away, on the road from Kaili to Danzhai. The travel agency brought the team here, and arranged for the dressed Miao women to wait with the Miao "barricade wine", and then there were lusheng and other national song and dance performances. Backpackers can only look at the stilted wooden buildings in the village, but they can also join in the fun.
If you catch up with the festivals, such as the Spring Festival Lusheng Festival, the February Drum Festival, the July Eating New Festival, the Youfang Festival, the October Ancestor Worship Festival, etc., you can not only see the national song and dance performances such as Lusheng, Muye, and Mangju, but also see the wonderful scenes of young men and women traveling to the party (falling in love) and singing. It's best to plan ahead or ask your local tour agency.
There are minivans to Zhouxi near Wanbo, as well as near Mall Road. The fare to Zhouxi is 3 yuan.
Matang family style village Matang is a more typical family village, the villagers in the village usually work in agriculture, and do batik and embroidered clothes in their spare time. Jiajia is a unique ethnic minority, scattered in the northwest of Kaili Yudong, Longchang townships, the population is only more than 10,000, not included in the 55 ethnic minorities.
The family has its own unique living customs and language, the costumes are more unique, the dress of the girls in the house is a bit like the ancient soldiers, and the usual dress is relatively simple. Some people once thought that the Matang family was a branch of the Miao people, but they were indeed a separate ethnic group, which can be seen from their customs, clothing, and embroidery technology. Unlike the Miao, their hospitality is to persuade food more than to persuade wine, so when you come home, you must first eat enough, and then drink enough.
The family has always worshipped the ancestors, and there is a custom that every meal must be offered to the ancestors. And the family worships an "ancestral drum", the ancestral drum is used for the ancestral worship ceremony that is held only once in decades, they call it the "Hajong Festival", if you arrive here just in time, it is really lucky. (It's rarer than the 13-year Buddhist gathering in the Year of the Horse in the Tibetan calendar at Mount Kailash in Tibet, so don't skimp on film.) ）

At that time, the Qing soldiers fought for 18 years to pacify it, and in a fit of rage, they burned down the village, the population was almost wiped out, and 15 people fled to the deep mountains and wild forests to save their lives. Later, the 15 people formed 4 families and rebuilt their homes on the ruins. So far, there are 118 households and more than 500 people in the village.
Langde Shangzhai is surrounded by mountains and waters, with its back to the south and north, surrounded by mountains on all sides, lush forests and bamboo, setting off the antique stilt houses, winding cobblestone roads looming between the eaves, and occasionally you can hear the songs of the two-voiced Miao people.

In front of the village, there is a small river like a dragon and a snake, a small water wheel is three or three and two, there is a dense "protective forest" of pine fir in the south, and there are bunkers and trenches built during yang da liu's uprising on the mountain; in the north, there is Yang Da Liu Bridge - Feng Yu Bridge across the river, and after crossing the bridge, you can also see Yang Da Liu's military training ground. There are also three small gates in the south, middle and north, and the words "Langde Shangzhai" are written on it. Behind the Lusheng Hall in the village is the "Yang Da Liu Cultural Relics Museum", which displays knives, forks, helmets, iron cannons and other items used during yang Da Liu's uprising.

Xijiang Thousand Household Miao Zhai The largest Miao Village in China. It is considered by Chinese and foreign anthropologists and folklorists to be a relatively complete place for preserving the "original ecology" culture of the Miao people.
The history of the Xijiang Miao people is very long, dating back to the Xuanyu tribe in 559 BC. It is said that the Xijiang Miao are descendants of the third son of Xuan You. Before the Migration of the Miao people in Jiangxi to Xijiang, they have formed their own Miao cultural system, and after arriving in Xijiang, they have been in the situation of the government 'outside the control' (outside control) for a long time, and have always managed themselves, so the Miao culture has been well preserved and developed, coupled with the inconvenience of transportation, the rulers want to assimilate for a long time.
The Xijiang Miao also use drums as their means of communication. The "Drum and Tibet Festival" is a grand festival for the people of Xijiang to worship their ancestors and is the highest embodiment of the culture and spirit of the Miao people. It is said that the ancestors of the Xijiang Miao people migrated to Xijiang in the Year of the Tiger, and the Year of the Tiger coincided with a small nail (13 years). Once in 13 years, the Drum Festival is also a convention. The Xijiang Tibetan Drum Festival is a festival with strict rules and many customs. On the day of the pig killing, the four people on all sides can only do it after listening to the sound of the "drum hidden head" before 5:00. In the first two years of the arrival of the Drum Festival, it is stipulated that the first year (year of the rat) is to raise the drum (lead the drum), and to dance the reed for at least 7 days and a maximum of 9 days.

Rongjiang - Chejiang - Zaidang - Rongjiang
In the morning, I went to the nearest Chejiang Dongzhai, and on the way from Chejiang to Zaidang, I passed through Fengdeng and then to Zaidang. Return to Rongjiang accommodation in the evening.
Budget: accommodation 30 yuan + catering 20 yuan + transportation 20 yuan + tickets 5 yuan = 75 yuan
Chejiang Dongzhai, also known as "Thousand Households Dong Zhai", is the most densely populated place for the Dong ethnic group in the country.
From the county seat of Rongjiang, across the Rongjiang Bridge to the north is the Chejiang 10,000 Mu Dam. The Duliu River tributary of the Zhai Artemisia River flows under beacon hill and connects the Dongzhai villages of 5 villages along the river. Because there are three boulders in the river, the "Three Treasures" got its name. The "Three Treasures" Dong village stretches for about 15 kilometers, and it is difficult to walk to them one by one unless there is plenty of time. About 5 kilometers away from rongjiang county seat, you can see a wooden structure village gate, which reads "the world's first Dong village", which is a relatively large-scale ancient rong group scenic spot. The scenic spot is composed of three villages, Zhanglu, Zhaitou and Motang, with a total of more than 800 households and more than 3,000 people, and is the location of the Dong language standards in the southern part of the mainland stipulated by the State Nationalities Commission in 1958.
After entering the village, you can see a large group of ancient banyan trees along the Duliu River. These banyan trees were probably planted during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which has a history of more than 300 years. There are 38 ancient banyan trees, which are connected to each other's roots and leaves, like a green canopy. It is said that there were more banyan trees in the past, but most of them were cut down after liberation. Now all the ancient banyan trees have been protected.
There is a cobbled street among the ancient banyan groups, which is called Flower Street by the locals. The street is about 0.5 km long and is inlaid with cobblestones in the zodiac pattern. At the end of the road, you can also see a sculpture, composed of a man and a woman, the man is called Zhulang, and the woman is called Niangmei. In the 1950s, China made a movie called "Qin Niangmei", which is said to be a Chinese story of "Romeo and Juliet", and this is the hometown of Qin Niangmei.
As the area with the highest concentration of Dong ethnic groups, the biggest feature is the large number of drum towers. Among them, the more eye-catching is the "Chezhai Drum Tower", which was built in the third year of the Qing Dynasty (1877) and has a history of more than 120 years. In recent years, the newly built one is the largest of the Dongzhai Drum Tower. In addition to the drum tower, in the "Three Treasures" Dong village to see more is the Virgin Temple, the Dong family called "Sama Temple" (Sama is the meaning of the great grandmother), it is the Dong people sacrifice goddess "Sama" ancestral temple, almost every village has, the entire Three Treasures Dong Township has a total of 9. Inside the temple, there are huts made of brick tiles, and the center of the house is made of stone piles, and a half-open paper umbrella is inserted in the middle, and there are 12 or 14 small wooden stakes or small stone piles around it. Paper umbrellas and wooden stakes are draped with paper cuts. These wooden stakes and piles of stone represent the position of "Samar". There is an evergreen tree planted outside the temple, symbolizing the "health and longevity" of the Virgin Mary. The Samar Temple is usually locked, and if you want to see it, you have to find the villagers to open the door, and you have to give 2 yuan.
The densest area of ancient banyan trees is on the riverbank of about 1 kilometer from Chejiang Yintang Village to Zhanglu Village, with a total of 54 trees. Heaven and earth have formed a rare ancient banyan group in the world. It is recommended that you find a small shop to buy some sweet rice wine, which tastes good, and invite people around you to drink some, and they may kindly invite you to their house to rest or have a light meal. Sweet rice wine can not drink too much, this thing is not small.
Walk along the embankment to the Chejiang River Cement Bridge. There is a banyan tree next to it wrapped in a stone tablet. Here was originally a ferry port, before the founding of New China, the villagers in order to remember the people who donated funds to build the ferry, set up a "Gongde Monument" here, there was a banyan tree next to the monument, as a result, the years passed, the banyan tree slowly wrapped the monument into its arms.
The Duliu River flows slowly from the side of the Chejiang Dong village, the river surface is wide, the river water is clear, you can see women washing vegetables, washing clothes, washing hair by the river, men carrying rice from the boardwalk. The other side of the village is the road, and the traffic is endless.
From Rongjiang County, it only costs 1 yuan to take a tricycle. In addition, any minibus that goes from the river will pass through this place and only charge 1 yuan. However, if you take a single tricycle, the price is 5 yuan, and the counter-offer is 3 yuan. Next to the statue of Zhulang Niangmei, there are several houses in Linjiang that can be accommodated. Dong family wooden building on the first floor does not live people, live on the second floor, the corridor to see out is the clear river water and posture graceful ancient banyan tree, very comfortable, 10 ~ 15 yuan / bed, the room is not large, usually a room on a bed, so such a price to live in a single room is very cost-effective.
5 yuan. Drivers generally stop at the main entrance, can not enter from the main entrance, walk forward more than 10 meters to the road into the village, do not need to buy tickets. Take a wooden boat cruise, 2 yuan / hour.
Fengdeng Village, Zaidang These are two small Dong villages, because to go to Zaidang must go through Fengdeng Village, so they are introduced here.
Fengdeng Village is not far from the road but across a mountain pass is quiet; Zaidang is best known for the Dong song. These two villages are relatively small, there is no such beautiful drum tower, but there are also large houses that exercise the function of the drum tower, so don't think that it is Miao Zhai because you can't see the drum tower.
On the side of chejiang Dongzhai highway, take a shuttle bus or agricultural worker car in the direction of Liping and Zaima to Fengdeng Pass, the fare is 3 yuan. After getting off the bus, it takes more than 10 minutes to walk to Fengdeng Village, and it takes about 30 minutes to walk along a relatively wide dirt road from Fengdeng Village to Zaidang.
You can walk from Zaidang to Zengchong, but you have to have a guide, the cost is about 50 yuan, and you have to walk for most of the day.

Rongjiang - Zengchong - Congjiang
The traffic from Rongjiang to Zengchong Drum Tower is very inconvenient, it is best to strive to rush to Zengchong in the morning and come back early in the afternoon, otherwise there may be no car to go from The River, and rush to the county town of Congjiang at night to stay.
Budget: accommodation 30 yuan + catering 20 yuan + transportation 40 yuan + tour guide fee 100 yuan = 190 yuan
Zengchong Drum Tower Zengchong Drum Tower is located in the northeast of Rongjiang County, the village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the Drum Tower lives in it, and dozens of ancient printed houses with cornices and angles on the village set off the drum tower like a mast in the blue waves, which can be seen at a glance when entering the village. Zengchong Drum Tower was built in the eleventh year of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty (1672 AD), a fir structure, and there are stairs in the building that zigzag up to the first floor where the drum is placed, and the stairs are lattice railings. The lowest level of the drum tower has a gate, and there is a fire pit in the middle, and the fire pit is surrounded by strips of stone, and the ground is all inlaid with bluestone slabs. The main thing to see about the drum tower is to look at its structure, because the whole drum tower is made of stone drums as pillar bases, without a nail and a rivet, and it is old enough. The four walls are hung with couplets and poems written in various periods. In 1988, Zengchong Drum Tower was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
In addition, represented by the Zengchong Drum Tower, most of the drum towers and flower bridges in the "Nine Caves" area have a history of nearly 100 years or more than 100 years. For example, Xindi Drum Tower, Xiangdonghua Bridge, Peiying Drum Tower, Chaoli Drum Tower, Gongzhai Main Building, etc., are listed as 16 drum towers and flower bridges of cultural relics protection units at or above the county level, of which 1 is at the national level, 1 is at the provincial level, and 14 are at the county level.
To see the national performance, you must contact them in advance, otherwise you can only pounce on the local area, unless you happen to encounter a big festival. The tour guide and escort fee is 100 yuan / day, from the Jiang County Tourism Bureau 0855-6412190
From Rongjiang, take a farm car in the direction of the parking hole. There used to be a shuttle bus to Zengchong, but it was later stopped because of the lack of passengers. You can also take the shuttle bus to the direction of the stop hole, and find a farm car to increase the local family in the stop hole, but the probability is not large, it is best to catch the market day, when the opportunity is much greater. The market day is on the first or sixth day of the lunar calendar, and some places are also according to the horse day and pig day of the lunar calendar, which cannot be determined, it is best to inquire from the local tourism department before departing from Rongjiang. If you can't find a car, you can only walk, from the stop hole to the increase of the village road about 30 kilometers. Rongjiang to stop the cave long-distance bus fare is about 8 yuan, from the river to the parking hole 10 yuan, sometimes the price is controlled by the driver, will not want more, but can give less, remember to bargain. In the jeep from Jiangbao to about 200 yuan round trip, can only rent a jeep, the road conditions are not good, other cars can not go.
Zengchong Drum Tower around should be regarded as a drum tower group, the farthest away is more than 10 kilometers of mountain roads, the nearest 3 to 4 kilometers, the specific route must be asked to the local people. If you want to see all the drum towers in the area one by one, it is estimated that it will take at least a week, you can find a farmer to live in, the price is discussed by yourself, and it does not cost much.
Congjiang - Baisha - Congjiang - Xiaohuang
Go to Baisha in the morning, it is best to return to Congjiang before noon, and then go to Xiaohuang. At night, I can only stay in Xiao Huang's farmhouse.
Budget: accommodation 30 yuan + catering 20 yuan + transportation 70 yuan = 120 yuan
Baisha Baisha Village is only 7.5 kilometers away from Congjiang County, pure Miao, from the early 1970s from the (Jiang) Rong (Jiang) highway construction from here through the village, but after many years, the Miao people living here still maintain a primitive and ancient life.
The most distinctive feature of Baisha is the man's hair bun and the image of the ancient tribal warrior: the baisha man shaves his head, only has hair at the top of his head, and all of them hold a pattern of bun, while carrying a musket and a waist knife, wearing a self-woven and self-dyed collarless right slit copper button green cloth cloth, straight green cloth pants, the trouser tube is very large, looking reminiscent of the samurai of ancient times.
Baisha Village is built layer by layer on the mountain, and it is often impossible to distinguish the direction when placed in the village. The building of the house is ancient and simple, and the old people and children look at outsiders friendly and curiously, feeling kind. Whenever the autumn harvest comes, every household plucks the grass from the field and makes a handful, not to pick it home, but to pick it up on the tall wooden shelf on the edge of the village (locally called it he hangs), hang it one by one, and wait until the grass is dried before it is collected into the grass barn next to the wooden frame. In those days, the edge of the village was golden, and it was very eye-catching with the thick green mountain forest and green tile wooden houses.
The Baisha people have a strong concept of natural worship, worshiping ancient trees and the sun. If people and animals are uneasy, if life is not smooth, or if there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, they must burn incense and pray under the big tree in the village. It has become customary to worship trees as gods, and to protect them. There is a clause in the village rules and regulations that "vehicles are not allowed to enter Baisha to buy firewood, and only villagers are allowed to pick firewood to sell in the county seat", so the trees around Baisha are well protected. In 1977, the Baisha people cut down a 1.2-meter-diameter ancient camphor tree in the village and transported it to Beijing for the construction of Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall, and built an octagonal pavilion on the site of the tree to commemorate it.
When you arrive at Baisha, if you see a wild vine in front of the gate of the village, there is a grass mark hanging on the vine, which indicates that the gate of the village is not open, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass. When the festival or when there are distinguished guests coming, a well-dressed, mighty Baisha man plays reeds and mangoes in front of the gate of the village, and a Baisha girl dressed in Miao costumes and wearing silver headdresses greets the distinguished guests with horn wine in the village. After a song was played, three iron cannons sounded, a burst of muskets sounded in the sky, and the guests fished in and drank some horn wine to show their auspiciousness. Then led by the girls, they walked up the forest path of Lusheng Hall. Lushengtang is in the forest southeast of Baisha, about 100 square meters of open space. On the way, the men and women of Baisha should face the sun and slowly retreat. According to the old man of Baisha, in order to enter the Lusheng Hall, the people of Baisha must first worship the sun facing the east, and then perform Miao songs and dances here.
Part III Southwest China - Qiandongnan (6)
Usually there is no such performance, but you can contact the Jiangsu Tourism Bureau or to find someone in the village, the cost is 400 yuan, very interesting, more people are not expensive. When the farmers are idle, almost all the people in the village come to join in the fun, and what kind of family treasures are taken out, of course, at that time, you can also take pictures as much as you want. There are no restaurants or hostels here, but a half-day tour is enough, and there is no need to eat and stay. The terraces of Baisha and the women's drying green cloth are very much in the mirror, and you can get two more pictures.
Because the cars from Rongjiang to Congjiang are now taking the new road, they do not go through Baisha anymore, and can only cross the bridge from the river and take a small side, 3 yuan fare. It can be walked for about 1.5 to 2 hours.
Usually, it is best to take pictures of locals, especially the elderly, and discuss with them. Locals were impressed by the Polaroid snapshots of certain tourists, thinking that all travelers have such machines, and it is best to explain them when asked.
Baisha is pronounced biasa locally, not basha.
Gexiang Xiaohuang Xiaohuang is more than 20 kilometers away from the county seat, and is the collective name of the three administrative villages of Xiaohuang, Gaohuang and Xinqian, with a total of 662 households and more than 3,000 people. Xiaohuang is surrounded by green mountains, a small stream flows slowly through the village, and the stilt wooden building is surrounded by mountains and water.
Xiaohuang is a well-known "Dong Song Nest" in the Dong area. Xiaohuang Dongge is called "Ga Xiaohuang" in Dong language, which means "Xiaohuang's song", which shows its own system and unique charm. The locals also have another colloquial saying: "Rice nourishes the body, and the song nourishes the heart". The history of the Dong family and the hardships of the ancestors are passed on to the next generation by song. Dong songs are in a variety of forms, such as life, love, labor, etc., and the Dong song is the highest of all forms. Dong big song is a multi-voice a cappella choral repertoire, in Xiaohuang almost anyone can pull up the team to sing a big song, the song team does not have to specify who sings the high note and who sings the bass, but they can all cooperate seamlessly when singing. There are actually 26 song teams in the village. Xiao Huang Dongge has performed in France.
Xiaohuang Dong songs are usually only solo and duet, and the chorus of several people can be heard, and the real Dong songs can only be heard during festivals. The most grand is the Mid-Autumn Festival Song Contest on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, when the three administrative villages will hold a song contest, and all the song teams will come out to appear in the song competition, which is much more lively than the song in the army. Secondly, after the third day of the Spring Festival, the male and female song teams of the three villages invited each other to eat acacia and sing to the big song, when most of the young people were young people, and the form was more lively.
Xiaohuang only has one village-level road and no shuttle bus. You can go on a two-wheeled motorcycle in Gaozeng, asking for 30 yuan, you can negotiate the price, but the road is extremely poor, and you are ready to be gray-headed.
If you happen to be unlucky, you can also contact the Congjiang Tourism Bureau to perform a big song, and the cost is also 400 yuan / show.
To Xiaohuang must live for a day, there is no place to stay in the local area, can only live in the hometown.

Gaozeng Dongzhai is the last attraction. You can return to Congjiang County after about noon. You can choose to return to Guiyang from the river or continue south to Sanjiang, Longsheng, and Guilin.
Budget: Accommodation 80 yuan (Guiyang or Guilin accommodation) + catering 20 yuan + transportation 70 yuan (including to Guiyang or to Guilin) fare = 170 yuan
Gaozeng Dongzhai Although Gaozeng is only 5 kilometers away from Congjiang County, the traffic is not very convenient. The village still maintains the original folk customs, a tall drum tower stands in the middle of the village, and there is an exquisite wind and rain bridge on the side of the village. When you wander around the village, occasionally women will pull you to their homes to see their handmade cloth or handicrafts (in fact, daily necessities), you may wish to go with them to see, the price is very fair, will not be forced to buy and sell, and the bargaining space is relatively large, you can also take a good picture.
At the JiangSu Bus Terminal, take a three-wheeled motorcycle to Qingyun Bridge (2 yuan), and then transfer to a two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycle with high increase (3 yuan). If you live in the old city, you can transfer from the ferry to Qingyun Bridge. From Jiang County, there is a Changan car rental to Gaozeng, which costs 30 yuan to go back and forth. Gaozeng village entrance has a place to eat and stay, 5 yuan / bed. However, because it is relatively close to Congjiang, food and accommodation can be solved in Congjiang. About 2 kilometers away from Gao Zeng is yinliang village and two small dong villages in Pingqiao village, with drum towers, which can be seen by the way.
In addition to Kaili, which is a big city, the others on the Qiandongnan line are small towns, but accommodation is not a problem, the price is cheaper, and there are even 5 yuan / single room.

Sour soup is a special base that the local Miao people like to eat, there are several kinds of red acid, white acid, stinky acid, tomato acid, as you go, not only do sour soup fish, many dishes use the raw material, such as kimchi or something, some people even have more than ten years of old soup at home.

Kaili is the capital of Qiandongnan Prefecture, and there are also trains directly to Kaili from Beijing and Shanghai, but because Kaili is not a key station, most express trains sent from other places to Guiyang arrive in Kaili in the early morning, which is not very convenient for travelers. Kaili Railway Station is 2 kilometers north of the city, you can take the No. 1 bus and so on directly to the fare of 0.5 yuan.
