Features: This is a travel book measured by footsteps, with beautiful and vivid writing, rich and stunning images. The author's Guizhou journey centers around Guiyang, divided into five routes—north, east, south, west, and central—delving into deep mountains, remote forests, and impoverished areas. It goes beyond a superficial glance and provides a detailed description of the magical and beautiful landscapes, as well as the simple, primitive, and interesting customs and cultures. Coupled with numerous exquisite photographs, readers feel as if they are there. The book also offers many practical and actionable information, absolutely meeting the needs of independent travelers in terms of travel guides, routes, attractions, food and accommodation, transportation, etc.
This is a world enclosed by towering mountains. Here, "the sky has no three days of sunshine, and the land has no three miles of flat ground." It is characterized by vast areas of pristine forests, stone deserts, rivers, caves, and the diverse villages of various ethnic groups living among them. It is poor but exceptionally beautiful. Its raw, mysterious charm, with a captivating allure, can only be understood after a long journey. Only by immersing yourself in it can you truly appreciate the richness of this world—the ancient papermaking technique of Xiangzhi Valley, the traditional cave burials of Gaopo Township, the unique headdresses of the long-horned Miao people in Suoga Township, the ancient customs of the Ba Sha riflemen, and the complete Ming Dynasty opera performances in Hailongton.
