It is one of the four ancient towns in Guizhou,
It is the first national 5A-level tourist attraction in Guiyang City.
It is one of the second batch of Chinese historical and cultural towns,
It has a history of more than 600 years.
Profound cultural and historical heritage,
It has the charm of regional characteristics.
There are two images of the ancient town
It looks like it's crowded with people that we see on weekdays
The other is the hazy and quiet appearance when I first woke up in the morning
I like such a quiet and quiet old town
A person walks leisurely on the road full of a sense of age
Feel the traces of history from the uneven pavement and mottled walls
Every ancient town has its own historical story
First, the guide to avoiding pits
1. "Crowding" on holidays and weekends
The name Qingyan Ancient Town has its own "sucking" attribute on holidays and weekends. It is not recommended to go over weekends or holidays, I will tell you as a come, there are too many people, and it is also to see the head of the person.
There is no way to go on weekends, so waking up early or in the evening is the best time to visit, not only to avoid the rush of people, but also to capture the unique beauty of the ancient town in the morning and dusk.
2. Homogeneous shopping streets? Learn to discern pearls
The streets of Qingyan are lined with shops, and the problem of homogenization is also a headache. It's like testing my ability to "Taobao". My advice is to keep an eye out for the old shops hidden in the corners, often to find the food and handicrafts that are truly authentic and distinctive.
3. Travel photography? Choosing is more important than following the trend
Although Qingyan is beautiful, if you want to stand out among many ancient villages, travel photography is not a good choice. Qingyan is too ordinary among the many ancient villages in Guizhou, just take a picture with your mobile phone, and you can go to Zhaoxing Dong Village for travel photography.
4. Tickets & Packages: Consume rationally and refuse to waste
The ticket for Qingyan Ancient Town is only 10 yuan, which is very cost-effective. As for the package ticket of 60 yuan (including Qingyan Ancient Town Block, South City Gate, North City Gate, East City Gate, West City Gate, Longquan Temple, Shoufo Temple Ancient Town Wall Wall, Ciyun Temple, Zhuangyuan's Former Residence, Wenchang Pavilion, Wanshou Palace and other small attractions) I just want to visit and buy big tickets, experience the ancient town style, there is no need to buy.
5. The noise is too much:
The sound of the radio in the store, the loudspeaker of the tour group, the cries of the merchants, the singing of the bar, the noise just want to play so-so. It is an ancient town with a strong commercialization.
6. Parking is difficult
Self-driving car parking at the north gate / south gate (the north gate is the most blocked), the parking lot is 10 yuan / time, the traffic jam is serious, the parking space is not enough to find a parking space,
Second, in addition to the disadvantages, there are more advantages - the beauty of Qingyan
1. Through the ancient rhyme of thousands of years
Qingyan Ancient Town, founded in the Tang Dynasty, has gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, and still retains the bluestone slab road, beam-lifting buildings and eaves and corners of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
People can't help but slow down and savor the precipitation of this history.
2. Authentic food, green rock on the tip of the tongue
Braised pig's feet: Qingyan's signature delicacy, fat but not greasy, glutinous and moist taste has conquered countless diners. Paired with a special double-flower vinegar dipping sauce, it takes the delicacy to a new level.
Qingyan Tofu: Local high-quality soybeans are used as raw materials, and Qingyan tofu is made by special technology, with green peppers and other accessories, the taste is smooth and fragrant, and people have an endless aftertaste.
Cake porridge: This dessert is not rich in ingredients, and the texture is also extremely delicate and fluffy. The sweetness is moderate, with a hint of rose fragrance, a hundred years of ingenuity, and a proper old taste.
Rose Ice Powder: A bowl of cool rose ice powder in the hot summer is undoubtedly the best choice. Add rose sugar, peanuts, winter melon sugar, sesame seeds, etc. to the ice powder, and then add ice cubes to eat together, the taste is refreshing and sweet, and instantly dispels all the fatigue and heat.
Chicken Chili: This specialty side dish combines chicken and chili and can be enjoyed as a snack or as an accompaniment in cooking. The unique taste and flavor make it unforgettable.
Rose Candy: As one of the traditional specialties of Qingyan, rose candy has won wide praise for its unique production process and taste. When you bite into it, the sweetness is mixed with the aroma of rose sauce, and the whole mouth is filled with the aroma of roses, and the aftertaste is endless.
There are also special snacks such as dried prickly pear, dried radish, and various pickles waiting for you to discover. In Qingyan Ancient Town, every bite of food is a cultural exploration and experience.
