Chishui River

4.2
4.7/5

The combination of strength and gentleness defines the character of the Zunyi Chishui River: the banks feature both lush, dark green mountains and "fierce-looking" stone forests surging quietly; for thrills, there are the dangerous cliffs and surging waves of the Shili Changtan Scenic Area, while for tranquility, there are the banyan trees lining the banks and waves of green bamboo at the Sanke Zhuang Scenic Area. Across the mature Danxia landforms rushes a spectacular view on the Chishui River—the Chishui Danxia Tourist Area · Great Waterfall. Renowned painter Liu Haisu once hailed it as a "beauty in an empty valley." Chishui is known as the city of a thousand waterfalls. Beyond the majestic Chishui Danxia Tourist Area · Great Waterfall, the Sidonggou Senic Spot offers a much more relaxed atmosphere. River travel tips: It is 15 km from Chishui to the Sidonggou Senic Spot. It is approx. 42 km from Chishui to the Chishui Danxia Tourist Area · Great Waterfall. The best way to get close to the river is naturally by rafting; the Shili Changtan section from Maotai Town to Erlangtan has many waves and shoals, alternating between gentle and rapid. The banks of the Chishui River are lined with lush forests and bamboo; you can pick up some local bamboo handicrafts to take home, with all-bamboo scented fans highly recommended. As for dining, be sure to try the Qingbo fish and silver carp from the Chishui River. If you have extra time, you can also visit the Chinese Liquor Culture City and the Monument to the Red Army's Four Crossings of the Chishui River.Chishui · 11.7km from downtown

Our group of seven drove here from Nantong, Jiangsu. This place is great and worth recommending. Although it's not as famous as Huangguoshu Waterfall, it's still very beautiful. The scenery along the way is absolutely stunning. It's definitely worth a visit, especially now that it's the off-season.

This is a rare red rock Danxia landform. The air is fresh inside the scenic area, and there are many safera trees from the dinosaur era along the way. The waterfall cascading down is spectacular and well worth a visit.

Overall, the visit to Chishui Danxia Waterfall was quite pleasant. The water volume was abundant, and the sound was deafening from afar. The water vapor was also very strong up close, so it's recommended to bring a waterproof phone case. Since there is a sightseeing elevator in the scenic area, the overall physical exertion was not high, and there weren't many tourists, making it quite comfortable.

丙安古镇是位于贵州省赤水市中南部的历史文化名镇,地处赤水河畔,是很小众的旅游目的地。国道G546(这段也叫赤水河谷旅游公路)经过小镇,交通便捷,镇上有保存比较完好的老民居,寨门、红一军团陈列馆、双龙桥、古盐道、古纤道遗址等景点,值得游览。

Foguangyan, the Great Waterfall, and Yanziyan are all primarily for waterfall viewing, each with its own unique features and worth a visit. The Bamboo Sea Park is so-so, but it offers a wide variety of bamboo products, such as bamboo fungus eggs and bamboo bird's nest, which are all delicious.

The Chishui Danxia Waterfall scenic area is not large, and taking the elevator up and down is not worthwhile; it's perfectly fine to explore on foot. The scenery at Yanziyan (Swallow Rock) is quite beautiful, and there aren't many tourists, making it worth a visit.

Walking into the morning and evening of Datong Ancient Town, by the ever-changing Chishui River, the smooth stone lanes are soaked in the light of time, and the dense vines on the riverside are entangled with the huge old trees, and it is difficult to distinguish them from each other. Wanshou Palace, Yuwang Palace, and Kanli Palace are built on the mountain. Although most of them have been eroded by time, the palace gates and archways that need to be looked up are still standing stubbornly, solemn and upright. The ancient docks, ancient archways, and ancient temples have been weathered, and the carved beams and painted buildings of the year can be vaguely seen. The small houses built of wood, fir bark, and small green tiles are staggered and matched, exuding a strong sense of history and literary style. The town is full of vitality. The residents of the ancient town have long been accustomed to tourists coming and going from the south and the north. They accept the passers-by who disturb their peaceful lives with an inclusive attitude, and live their own slow life with confidence and calmness. Datong Ancient Town is a dock that has experienced the prosperity of the past and declined. There are three very tall yellow poplar trees next to the pier. Although they are in the same place, strangely, at the same time, their leaves show three different situations: budding yellow, lush green, and withered yellow, which vividly interprets the changes of time. Experts cannot explain why. . Locals call these three trees "same sky, same place, different spring and autumn". Recommended index: The ancient town is located on the banks of the Chishui River. It retains a large number of buildings cleared in the late Ming Dynasty. It has a profound historical and cultural heritage. Compared with the low level of development of Bing'an Ancient Town, the folk customs are simple and suitable for friends who like quietness. The ancient town is located on the banks of the Chishui River. It retains a large number of buildings cleared in the late Ming Dynasty. It has a profound historical and cultural heritage. Compared with the development of Bing'an Ancient Town, Chengtong Raiders There is a tourist bus station on the opposite side of the road outside the Chishui Passenger Station (on the right). Take bus No. 8 (about 30 minutes, the first bus is at 6:30 and the last bus is at 18:50), and get off at the gate of Datong Ancient Town. The journey takes 20 minutes and the fare is 3 yuan. The ancient town is not big, and it takes about an hour to visit it.

It's very beautiful and relatively uncommercialized. It's where local residents live. The mutton in red soup is so delicious. There is a shuttle bus from Luzhou City, which costs 16 yuan per person, which is not bad. It's not very convenient to call a taxi locally.
