Features: This is a travel book measured by footsteps, with beautiful and vivid text, rich and stunning images. The author's Guizhou journey centers around Guiyang, divided into five routes—east, west, south, north, and central—delving into deep mountains, remote forests, and impoverished areas. It goes beyond a superficial glance, with detailed descriptions of the magical and beautiful landscapes, as well as the simple, primitive, and fascinating customs and local cultures. Coupled with numerous exquisite photos, readers feel as if they are there. The book also provides practical and actionable information, fully meeting the needs of independent travelers regarding itineraries, routes, attractions, food and lodging, transportation, and more.
This is a world enclosed by towering mountains. Here, "the sky sees no three consecutive sunny days, the land sees no three miles of flat ground." What exists are vast areas of pristine forests, stone deserts, rivers, caves, and the diverse villages of various ethnic groups. It is poor but exceptionally beautiful, with an enchanting, almost supernatural allure that 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 in Xiangzhigou, the traditional cave burials in Gaopo Township, the unique headgear of the long-horned Miao people in Suoga Township, the ancient customs of the Ba Sha gunners, and the complete Ming Dynasty earth opera in the well-preserved form of Hailongtun.
