The weather is good and it is worth going. It was sunny before we went up the mountain, and it rained heavily after entering the mountain. After going up the mountain, it was foggy except for rain. The tour guide said that the main peak cannot be seen for more than 200 days a year. You can make a reservation after getting off the cable car at Hongyunjinding, but you still have to walk a long way from the cable car to Morushi, and it is all steps, which is not very friendly to parents with babies who need to use strollers.
It's so beautiful!!! I entered the park at 2:30 pm. I thought I would never see the Red Clouds and Golden Summit. But I was wrong. As long as you make an appointment, the staff will wait for you to have fun before closing the park. They will satisfy your wishes. The sightseeing cars in the scenic area are very skilled. The cable cars in the scenic area are absolutely exciting. The scenery in the scenic area is even more unique, with mushroom clouds and Red Clouds and Golden Summit. To appreciate such a beautiful scenery, you must go through the nearly right-angled ladder. The infinite scenery is on the dangerous peaks.

Tongren Grand Canyon integrates risk, beauty and secludedness, which can not only meet the needs of adventure stimulation, but also enjoy the beauty of the quiet landscape. It is a natural secret that cannot be missed in the travel route in northeast Guizhou. If there is plenty of time, it is recommended to visit the surrounding attractions such as Fanjing Mountain and Miao Wangcheng. Highlights; the highlight of Tongren Grand Canyon is the ultimate combination of "risk, show, and secluded"**, which has both the visual impact of geological wonders, and the fun of hydrophilic fun, and can also harvest a unique perspective in the high-altitude challenges. Compared with other canyons in Guizhou (such as Maling River), there are fewer tourists here. Retain more originality and suit travelers who pursue a niche natural experience.
【Scenery】Tongren Grand Canyon is worth a visit. Here are some comments about it:
- Beautiful natural scenery: Tongren Grand Canyon is a representative of Guizhou's karst landforms, with a total length of 52 kilometers and the reputation of "the crack of the earth". The cliffs on both sides of the canyon are piercing the clouds, and the peaks are overlapping, which is very majestic and steep. The sun shines through the branches and leaves into the canyon, with mottled light and shadow, and the waterfalls along the coast dance like ribbons, and the mist is filled with beautiful scenery. It is a paradise for tourists and photography enthusiasts.
- Rich entertainment projects: The scenic area has four sections: canyon tourism, passionate rafting, interactive adventure, and high-altitude zip line. Among them, the adventure plank road is about 800 meters long and hangs at the bottom of the mountains on both sides of the canyon. It is very steep and is known as "the most steep in Tongren Canyon". It is deeply loved by adventure enthusiasts. The high-altitude zip line is located between the "Tiaoma Pavilion" and the "Small Canyon". It is about 200 meters long. Tourists can enjoy the high-altitude beauty while experiencing the excitement.
- Comfortable climate: The annual temperature in the Grand Canyon is 3-5℃ lower than that in Tongren City, the average temperature in summer is 18-30℃, and the annual temperature in the cave is 18-25℃. The air quality is extremely good, and the negative oxygen ion content is high. It is a good place to escape the summer heat and enjoy fresh air.
- Convenient transportation: Tongren Grand Canyon is located in Daxing Town, southern Songtao Miao Autonomous County, Tongren City, 25 kilometers away from Tongren City and 7.5 kilometers away from Tongren Phoenix Airport. The Shanghai-Kunming High-speed Railway and the Chongqing-Huaihuai Railway reach the center of Tongren City, and the Shanghai-Kunming, Hangzhou-Ruili and other highways pass through the area, making transportation very convenient.
- Profound cultural heritage: There are many historical and cultural attractions around the scenic area, such as Shenfeng Tower, Jinjiang Water Village, Ancient Slide Ferry Site, Miaowang City, etc. Miaowang City is an ancient village where Miao people live, preserving rich Miao culture and traditional architecture. Visitors can experience the rich ethnic customs here.
However, Tongren Grand Canyon also has some shortcomings, such as the toilets in the scenic area are far from the entrance. The ticket price is relatively high, 120 yuan for adults, and some tourists think it is not cost-effective, with more artificial landscaping and less natural formation.

The scenic spot is located in Wanshan. It has a long history of cultural and traditional cultural characteristics. There is not much fun. There are fewer tourists. The sightseeing car is not standardized. There is no car to sit on the way back. Go down the mountain by yourself. The service needs to be improved.
The entire ancient town park is mainly divided into several parts: the imprint of that era is well preserved, the underground Great Wall is chilly, and the more than one-kilometer cliff glass plank road has a 60-meter glass floor, which was very scary to walk on. These two places are included in the ticket, but you need to scan the QR code to pass the gate. The Cinnabar Museum has three floors, which introduces the cinnabar culture and mine history in detail. The Cinnabar Grand View Garden must be passed at the exit, and all the commercial shopping counters are hurriedly passed. Other entertainment projects such as high-altitude rafting and rainbow slides require additional tickets.
We took the high-speed rail from Tongren Station. The Cinnabar Ancient Town Station is very small, there is no luggage storage, and there is no supporting facilities around. We took a private car to the scenic area to solicit business, which cost 30 yuan for more than 20 kilometers and the same for the return.
Tips: It is obviously damp and cold when entering the underground Great Wall, so it will be better to wear a coat.

It's worth it! Many services are very detailed!
There are many rooms, and the balcony overlooks the entire water park. We went out to play in the water park and soak in the hot springs after dinner, but unfortunately the sky was not good. It thundered and rained after playing for more than an hour.
But the children still had a lot of fun
This hot spring is really nice. The hot spring water is very slippery, the environment is good, and there are many pools. There is also a huge water park. When it's 12 noon, he also provides free snacks, drinks, and fruits, which is really good.

I took the high-speed train from Guiyang to Tongren, and I felt like I was going to faint from the heat when I got off the bus. It cost 45 yuan to take a taxi from Tongren, and the driver said we could play for an hour, so we agreed that the driver would wait for us at the scenic spot, and we would take his car after the tour. It took 20 minutes to take the sightseeing car from the entrance of the scenic spot, and then there were 700 meters, and steps, to reach the entrance of the cave. It was so hot that I wanted to faint. But when I got close to the entrance of the cave, the cool air on my face made me feel alive. The cave is very large and spectacular, and it makes people feel the power of a long time. We wandered around for three hours, and the online taxi driver felt that he had lost a lot. With one ticket, I climbed the mountain outside and visited the cave in the belly of the mountain. It was buy one get one free, worth it.
Jiulong Cave Scenic Area is located about 17 kilometers southeast of Tongren City. It is a large natural karst cave and an important tourist summer resort in Guizhou.
The following is a detailed introduction:
Internal structure
• Scale: There are 7 halls in the cave, the cave is 2,258 meters long and the total area is about 70,000 square meters. Currently, 3 halls and 12 scenic spots are open to tourists.
• Landscape: The stalactites in the cave are colorful, crystal clear, in various shapes and interesting. Various stone flowers, stone curtains, stone birds and stone animals can be seen everywhere, lifelike. Among them, there are dozens of stalactite columns over 20 meters high, the highest of which is 39.98 meters high and 16.4 meters in diameter, which is rare in the world and the largest in China.
Main scenic spots
• The first hall: It is a slightly inclined flat-top cave, with stone pillars on the right and stone flowers blooming on the left. There are scenes such as "Water Curtain Cave Heaven", "Dragon Mouth with Pearls", "Spotted Tiger Descending the Mountain", "Dragon Cave Sunset", "Southern White Elephant", etc., especially the towering "Pagoda" and the "Long Sword" pointing to the sky, which are tall and elegant, and are ingenious, forming a series of beautiful and unique scenery, which is extremely spectacular.
• The second hall: It is a flat-top cave, with thousands of stone curtains hanging on the top of the cave, which are delicate and exquisite, densely forming a net-like stone curtain, such as Yunshan Wuling, and Niyanxia Peak. In front of the "Fairy Bed" on the left, the gauze is ethereal, and in the "Green Bamboo" on the right, the green scenery is swaying; mixed with stalactites as white as jade and stone pillars as green as black ink, people named them "Standing Alone in the Cold Autumn", "Two Qiaos Competing for Beauty", "Sea Flowers and Greenery", "Fairy Dance", "Tang Monk Seeking Scriptures", "Jade Pillars and Silver Flowers", etc., which are really vivid.
• The third hall: a dome cave, which is large enough to accommodate 10,000 people. It is the essence of the whole cave and the most spectacular. Under the light, it feels like a paradise in the mist and a village under the moon.

This plan Yungui self-driving tour, it took half a month from mid-April to return before the May 1st holiday, but the result was still because of the time, did not wait to go to Yunnan to arrive on May 1st, do not want to holiday to join the lively May 2 all the way to the road nearly 700 kilometers back to the house. According to the route, I have walked through Xiangyang Ancient City, Gulongzhong, Changde Taohuayuan, Zhangjiajie, Furong Town, Phoenix Ancient City, Tongrenzhong South Gate Ancient Street, Tongcheng Wanshan Zhusha Ancient Town, Qianhu Miao Village in Southwest Guizhou, Anshun Gujie Old City, Huanggushu Waterfall, Guiyang Jiaxiu Building, The former site of the Zunyi Conference, Fanjing Mountain, and another night tour through Tongren, Zhongnanmen Ancient Street, Enshi Daughter City, and the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area, then ran home all the way. The most impressive of these attractions is Tongren City. Although I didn't wander around the city, I lived in Tongren Bijiang District. The surrounding Zhongnanmen Ancient Street, Jinjiang Night View is also very enjoyable. I went to Anshun and passed by the ancient town of Zhusha in Tongren Wanshan District. When I came back, I climbed Fanjing Mountain from the west gate of Zunyi. 1, Tongren Zhongnanmen Ancient Street: Tongren Zhongnanmen Ancient Street is located in Bijiang District, Tongren City, Guizhou Province, is a relatively intact historical and cultural district in Tongren's main city, and is also a witness to Tongren's long history. Zhongnanmen Ancient Street is named after the south gate of Tongren Ancient City. It was once the political, economic and cultural center of Tongren during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ancient street was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. It is an important part of Tongren Ancient City and witnessed the prosperity of Tongren as the gateway of Tongren East. The ancient street retains a large number of Ming and Qing buildings, mainly blue brick and gray tiles, wood structure, integrating Huizhou architecture and local characteristics of the east of the province. The streets are narrow and narrow, with slabs paving the road, and many shops and houses on both sides. Some buildings have a courtyard pattern, reflecting the combination of traditional business and residential functions. There are also Feishan Palace, Zhou Yiqun's former residence (former residence of revolutionary martyrs), Ming and Qing shops and other sites in the ancient city. Tongren is a multi-ethnic settlement, the ancient street reflects the blend of Han, Miao, and other national cultures, such as architectural decoration, traditional crafts (such as Miao embroidery, silver jewelry), local snacks (such as social rice, rice tofu), etc. Here we tasted snacks, the most impressive is ancient oil tea, It's the soul of ginger and tea, super spicy. When I left, I also bought Tongren's local Fanjingshan Green Tea and Matcha in the ancient city. It is inevitable to buy and buy 😁 2. Zhusha Ancient Town: Many people will think of the ancient town of Zhusha as soon as they hear this name. It is famous for zhusha because of nature. The most impressive thing I am is the "that era" in the ancient town. After visiting the "that era", you may not know much about the history before the reform and opening up after the founding of the country, but you will definitely respect the hard years experienced by the old generation of people who opened the mountain to dig mines. If you are interested, you can ask the bean bag or deepseek. We have caught up with the good times, When remembering the mission, do not forget the original intention. 3. Fanjing Mountain, about 70 kilometers away from Tongren City, we are going from the west gate of Jiangkou County. The biggest advantage of going up the mountain from here is that there are cableways up and down, which is more suitable for the elderly who are not too physically strong. Fanjing Mountain is worth your own climbing, Hongyun Jinding for physical strength must be up, in addition to feeling the magic of nature, you should admire the power of faith! Tongren, maybe will go.
The ancient city, what impressed me most at night was Longyou Jinjiang, see Figure 234. The cruise ship meandered along the Jinjiang River, and the lights were bright. Not only the people who paid to take the boat were happy, but also the people who watched for free on the shore were happy. The best viewing position: Jinjiang Bridge. Departure time from the pier: 21:00.
Tongren Ancient City is very interesting, and it is worth it for me to stay for one night.

The hot spring area is large and the environment is beautiful. There are many pools. Unfortunately, in the off-season, half of them are not open, but there are few people and enough. Basically, you can enjoy a pool.
Very worthwhile hot springs, passing by and seeing the billboards that said that the hot springs that can be drunk were attracted to the high speed. This hot spring facilities are good and the water quality is clear and comfortable. There are also many soup pools! It’s just that there are too many places at night that I haven’t experienced, and I will bubble again when I go to this side in the future!

[View] The original ecological scenery is worth slowly enjoying [interest] As long as you carefully observe, you will find animals or plants shaped [cost-effective] because they have not been developed, you can only drive or charter a car.
The scenery of Guizhou Red Stone Forest is very beautiful and beautiful. It is a good place for taking pictures. The weather is different, the color of the stone is different, and the fun is strong. Take pictures and see the beautiful scenery. It is comfortable, comfortable and great.

Yunshe is located on the southern foot of Fanjing Mountain, the main peak of Wuling Mountains, and on the bank of Taiping River. It is the largest Tujia village in China.
The Taiping River in Yunshe Village runs through the entire village, with gurgling water, shaded by green trees, and picturesque scenery. The source of the stream is Yunshe Spring, also known as Shenlongtan. The water gushes out from the ground with a flow rate of 4m3/s. The water is clear and the water temperature is constant at around 16 degrees.
Yunshe seems to be a paradise, waiting for every tourist who loves nature and culture to explore.
Yunshe, the first Tujia village in China, has picturesque scenery. The world's shortest river, Shenlong River (only 800 meters long), runs across the village. The village is lively and vibrant because of the river. The villagers live a leisurely and comfortable life without competing with the world. There are also many unique homestays in the village, such as "Puju", etc. Living here will give you a very relaxing experience. The villagers live by the mountains and the water, and Shenlong River is their "mother river".
