Liping, Guizhou, a must-visit place for Long March history enthusiasts👍🏻 Family members, friends who like the history of the Long March, Guizhou is really worth a visit! Important turning-point meetings that led the Red Army to victory, such as the Liping Conference, Houchang Conference, Zunyi Conference, and Gouba Conference, were held here. Classic battles such as the Tongdao Turn, the Forced Crossing of the Wujiang River, the Bloody Battle of Loushanguan, and the Four Crossings of the Chishui River were also fought here. The Red Army left precious footprints on this land. Liping is a key town in the history of the Long March, where you can still find stories and traces of those years. 🗺Attractions Introduction Qiao Street is the oldest street in Liping City. There are many ancient buildings, including the site of the Liping Conference, the former site of the exchange office of the National Bank of the Chinese Soviet Republic, the former site of the Central Bureau Office, the former residence of Bo Gu and Li De, the Lianghu Guild Hall, and the Gospel Hall. Walking on this street, you can see local old people and children 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, as well as old pharmacies and clinics that are still in business, and of course new snack bars, clothing stores and cultural and creative stores. Standing at one end of Qiao Street, there really is a wonderful feeling of the interweaving of years and the intersection of time. 🚗 Transportation to attractions - Self-driving: Starting from Guiyang, it takes about 4 hours🚗 - High-speed rail: Congjiang Station is the closest 🚅 - Airplane: Huangping Airport, but not many flights ✈️ 🗺 Tour route First go to Qiao Street, starting from the street, and visit various historical sites in turn 📜 to feel the weight of the history of the Long March. When you are tired of shopping, go to the snack bar to try the local food🍜Then go to the cultural and creative store to see if there are any souvenirs you like🎁In the evening, stroll in the old street and feel the tranquility and beauty here. 🍱Food recommendations Although it is not mentioned in the original text, there are many delicious foods in Liping, such as the beef belly hotpot, which has a unique taste. Friends who love to eat novel foods should not miss it; there is also the Dongjia pickled fish, which is salty and delicious and is a local traditional food. 💰Cost related Most of the scenic spots are open to the public free of charge, and if you drive yourself, the main expenses are gas and tolls. The ticket prices for high-speed rail travel vary depending on the train. In terms of accommodation, the prices of characteristic homestays vary. For example, Jianglu Gengdudi and Longxingchong TEATEL, you can check the prices and make reservations online in advance. As for eating, the snack bars are more affordable and you can have a good meal for only a few dozen yuan per person. 📌Other tips It has been raining a lot in Southeast Guizhou recently, and the weather is very cool. 🌦Remember to bring an umbrella when you go out, because it may be sunny one second and raining the next. However, walking and visiting in the rain also has its own unique flavor. In addition, I strongly recommend watching the TV series "The Great Turning Point". I have watched it twice. After watching it, you will come to Liping again, and you will have a deeper understanding of this period of history.
