Because it's more primitive here, there's always something unexpected to gain; Because the people here are simple, without calculating intrigues; Because there are few tourists here, no need to squeeze for check-in photos; Because it has the ethnic style, historical figures, and rare herbs I want; Because my world is too impetuous, I want to find a place to be quiet, to experience the return to the original. Dongmeng: This used to be one of the poorest villages in Guizhou, without electricity or internet, and the transportation was backward and blocked.

In the village, you can only see a few old people working and children playing at the entrance of the village. Yao Mountain: White Pants Yao, Two Pieces Yao, I also saw it for the first time here.

Maolan Nature Reserve, secluded in the mountains, has a quiet and beautiful scenery. The reserve is full of overlapping peaks, dense vegetation, and crisscrossing streams. Because it is a national nature reserve, there has been no large-scale development. The several tour routes recommended by the scenic area each have their own characteristics, with different difficulties. You can explore caves, or you can trek along the stream. Route 1: Trekking along the stream Wuyan Bridge——Qinglongjian——Qinglong Waterfall——Qinglong Pool Trekking down the stream, you can see the most essence of Maolan. The water in Maolan is a clear ice blue that is rarely seen elsewhere. The stream rushes down from the mountain, sometimes splashing into snow, sometimes flowing into the underground river, and finally converging into Qinglong Pool. This route is short in distance, low in difficulty, and suitable for everyone to hike. Route 2: Cave exploration Black Hole——Jiudongtian——Shenxian Cave——Jinshi Cave Except for Jinshi Cave, which has been developed, the other three caves are undeveloped natural caves. You need to hire local villagers as guides (we five people, the cost is 100 yuan, the guide provides headlights). The original cave is pitch black, and there are stalactite wonders formed over billions of years inside. Although it is not as good as Zhijin Cave, it wins in the fun of wildness and adventure. 3. Stream waterfall trekking Huangyang Gully——Latan Waterfall——Crab Gully——Water Forest Latan Waterfall is the key point, but the water volume is small when it does not rain. The overall scenery is not as good as the Jiulongxi route, but the journey is short and suitable for everyone to try. In addition, there are Shishang Forest——Haixi Botanical Garden route, Swallow Cave——Caogu Forest——Wild Orchid Valley——Funnel Forest——Wangpai Mountain Down route, the latter route requires a professional outdoor guide to lead the way, suitable for outdoor enthusiasts with ample time and physical support. Accommodation: There are local people living in the Maolan scenic area, and most of the homestays are run by villagers. The conditions are limited, and the meals are local specialties, which are moderately priced. If you have plenty of time, it is recommended to stay in the mountains for one night, watch the sunrise and sunset, or the misty clouds. Transportation: You can drive into the scenic area and park near Wuyan Bridge. The connection between the attractions relies on the scenic area's battery car, which is very convenient.
