Wanfo Mountain

caoyangmu

Generally speaking, the scenery is pleasant and the service is good. The scenic area is mainly built around a mountain with a plank road and a glass plank road. It takes about 2 hours to climb to the top of the mountain and circle the mountain. The scenery has the potential to be 5A, and it feels like Xiaolang Mountain. The visitor center is too far away from the scenic area. After arriving at the visitor center, it is still about 8 kilometers away from the scenic spot. Everyone must not make a mistake in navigation.

Chengyang Bazhai Scenic Village

WinDow

Chengyang Eight Villages is definitely worth a visit! The original Dong culture is preserved here. The wooden structures of the drum tower, wind and rain bridges (especially Chengyang Yongji Bridge) are amazing, and the mortise and tenon joints without a single nail or rivet are considered an art. The stilt houses in the village are scattered and the rural scenery is beautiful. You can also experience the warm roadblock welcome, Dong ethnic songs and a hundred-family banquet. Whether you want to experience ethnic culture or appreciate architectural wonders, this is a great choice!

Longji Terraces

The hotel we booked was in Jinkeng, but when we went there, only Pingan Village had water, so we went to Pingan Village again the next day, but there was no sun, so the photos we took were not as beautiful as expected. To get to the top of Pingan Village, you need to take an electric car, which costs 50 yuan for a round trip and 30 yuan for a one-way trip. When we got to the top of the mountain, we followed a restaurant owner in Pingan Village to have lunch in the village. After lunch, the owner drove us back to the parking lot. When we passed the electric car ticket office, we asked the ticket seller with a try mentality, and he said that we could get a 20 yuan refund. Hahahaha, I was in a good mood instantly.
