One-Day Trip to Zhenyuan Ancient Town!

Who would've thought! Discovered this hidden gem🌟 while traveling in Guizhou—Zhenyuan Ancient Town is way more charming than expected! With breathtaking landscapes of mountains and rivers, well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty architecture, and best of all, it's not crowded and super affordable~ 🌸 Highlights Wuyang River Boat Ride🚣: Offers panoramic views of the ancient town, with crystal-clear emerald-green water💚 (Best lighting after 16:00 for photos). Ancient Alley Strolls: Cobblestone paths and traditional brick houses—perfect for Hanfu photoshoots👘, feeling like you've time-traveled to the Ming and Qing eras. Zhusheng Bridge Check-In: The town's iconic landmark, especially magical when lit up at night🌉 (nearby Miao silver jewelry shops are a must-visit). 🍱 Food Guide Zouji Tofu: Famous crispy tofu balls, tender inside, only 15💰 per person (No. 22, Fuxing Alley). Sour Fish Hotpot: Available everywhere, but Wang Apo's spicy sour soup with yellow catfish is a must-try🐟 (No. 56, Zhou Street). Preserved Vegetable with Minced Pork: Savory and perfect with rice—each restaurant has its own twist. ‼️ Tips √ Stay overnight to experience the town's nightscape and dawn—B&Bs are great value (I stayed at "Shuiyunju" with killer window views). √ Bring mosquito repellent in summer—riverside bugs are fierce. √ Opt for Wuyang River night cruises with guided commentary to catch all the historical stories.
