It is famous for crossing Chishui four times.

But we still know too little about Chishui.

Chishui is located in the transition zone from Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to Sichuan Basin.

The strata exposed in the territory are Jurassic and Cretaceous red strata, forming a unique Danxia landform.

The mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and the rivers are vertical and horizontal, creating spectacular canyons and waterfalls.

Foguangyan is a combination of beautiful Danxia landform and landscape.

Among the mountains, there is a huge circular Danxia cliff, which is more than 1000 meters long. Running water flows through it. Danxia is like a flame in the sunshine, like a red gobbledygook without words.

Near Wuzhu Peak, five huge Danxia stone pillars stand side by side and look like a big hand from a distance.

Chishui Waterfall on the tributary of Chishui River is the largest waterfall in Danxia landform in China, with a height of 76 meters, which is higher than the main waterfall of Huangguoshu.

From a distance, huge water flows down, falls into the pool and rises with white fog. Walking into the waterfall, the sound of water flow is like the roar of Ma Benteng, and the flying water vapor is blowing on my face.

Sidonggou, which is close to Chishui City, consists of four waterfalls with different shapes.

They are water curtain cave like a bead curtain, such as Moon Lake Waterfall with a semi-crescent, Flying Frog Cliff Waterfall shaped like Shi Wa and Bailongtan Waterfall with huge water flow.

In Sidonggou, in addition to waterfalls, there are lush trees and many rare plants on the mountain. The winding path is secluded and beautiful.

Chishui is not only a beautiful Danxia in Chishui, but also a green plant kingdom.

Yanzi Rock, located on the west bank of Fengxi, is known as the "spiny kingdom", where a large area of spiny spiny spiny grows.

Alsophila spinulosa is called "living fossil of plants", which is a plant of the same era as dinosaurs.

The spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spiny spin

In Yanzi Rock, in addition to green plants, there are terracotta-red rocks, one red and one green, which are in sharp contrast.

Walking on the red stone road in the mountains, bamboo leaves and mountains set off in front of us, birds singing and butterflies flying, full of fun.

In addition to groups of spiny spiny spiny, there is also a huge bamboo sea here.

In Chishui Bamboo Sea National Forest Park, there are 6.5438+0.7 million mu of Phyllostachys pubescens, and the mountains are undulating, which is a vast green field.

Guan Hai Tower is the commanding height of the bamboo sea. Climbing high and overlooking the bamboo sea, the bamboos all over the mountains are like a huge green ocean. The mountain wind blows, the bamboo forest swings with the wind, and the green waves surge.

Walking in the sea of bamboo, the rustling of bamboo leaves and the singing of birds are endless, and the path is winding and quiet, which is refreshing.

Besides the beautiful natural landscape, Chishui has many ancient towns.

During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the development of salt industry and shipping, many important docks and commercial ports were formed along the Chishui River.

After years of changes, the ancient town is less noisy and more quiet.

Tucheng ancient town, located on the ancient salt road of Chishui River, is an important distribution center for "Sichuan salt entering Guizhou", where merchants once gathered.

Walking in the ancient town, rows of houses with shingles still preserve a series of commercial port buildings such as post stations, teahouses and boathouses.

The ancient town is small, but it is still antique.

Bing 'an Ancient Town, also an important town of ancient salt road, is located on the banks of Chishui River and the first crossing place of Sidu Chishui.

The ancient town of Bing 'an is surrounded by water on three sides and built by mountains. The diaojiao building along the river is supported by hundreds of logs and looks like a castle from a distance.

There is a long and narrow stone road in the town, with antique shops on both sides, selling authentic mountain products. Most of them are made by farmers, and there is no special decoration, but the ancient rhyme still exists.

Datong ancient town was once an important pier on Chishui River.

Built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the ancient town is an ancient wooden house. Ancient docks, temples and halls are still preserved in the ancient town.

In ancient times, medicinal materials and local products transported by land from the Sichuan-Guizhou border were transported to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River through Chishui River. At that time, there was a sea of people and ships.

It is very quiet now. The old trees by the river, the ancient archway, the mossy stone road, and the carved beams and painted buildings faintly visible in the temple all seem to tell the story of the past.

People in the ancient town still drink tea leisurely in the teahouse, bask in the sun by the roadside and let tourists come and go.

Chishui, with beautiful scenery and ancient villages and towns, is very quiet.

Chishui is also full of infinite vitality.

A red bicycle lane was built along Chishui River, from Maotai Town to Chishui City, with a length of 168 km.

There are also special stations and scenic spots on the way, which can be said to be very humanized.

Along the way, the scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and we are far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We also passed the ancient towns of Tucheng and Bing 'an, and rode for sightseeing again, killing two birds with one stone.

A grand Chishui Valley Music Festival is held every year.

At the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, it is another grand occasion that the original green mountains and green waters meet the enthusiastic music carnival.

If you love mountains and rivers and energetic music festivals, then go to Chishui next time.

Chishui is not only a city, but also a treasure house full of vitality, waiting for you to discover.

Magnificent Danxia,

Magnificent waterfalls,

Old thorn,

There are ancient towns that have experienced vicissitudes.

There is also a vibrant music festival.

So old and so young,

It is the warmth of red-brown Chishui.

It is also the vitality of green plants.

This is Chishui!
