Wenchang Pavilion~Route: I left from the Qingyun Market and took bus No. 4 in the direction of Guizhou Daily. It took 33 minutes and cost 2 yuan. I entered from the east gate of Wenchang Pavilion. Nearby snacks: There are many snack streets nearby. Sea buckthorn juice, 10~15 yuan/cup. I had eaten a lot of wild sea buckthorn when I was a child, so I didn't try it. It felt quite expensive to sell so much. Historical significance of Wenchang Pavilion: Wenchang Pavilion is located in the east of Guiyang City. According to the "Guizhou Tongzhi" of the Wanli period, the pavilion was first built in 1596. It covers an area of 1,200 square meters and is famous for its ingenious design and unique structure.
