"Sister Luo, more bamboo shoots will be sent tomorrow. 25 guest rooms have been fully booked during the Tomb sweeping Day holiday, so that guests can taste the 'Panda Feast' of Chishui locals." On April 3, Gan Hao, the 25-year-old head of Jianglu Yalu Gumin Restaurant, communicated with Luo Xingqin, the project leader of Bing'an Selection, in advance.

The project leader of Bing'an Selection sent a message to Gan Haofa, informing him that the arranged bamboo shoots had been delivered as required, hoping that the original bamboo shoots could make the guests of the artisan Yalugu feel the taste of Chishui.

Bing'an Selection is a special agricultural product supply brand created by the Party branch of Bing'an Village, Bing'an Town, Chishui City by the end of 2023, which connects 568 farmers with interests. As the first natural waterfall cave homestay in China, the surging tourist flow during the Jianglu Yalugu holiday made the villagers busy. Bamboo shoots were picked and peeled in the bamboo sea, and the purchase standard of the Jianglu was followed.

Let tourists feel more authentic Chishui. It is not only Jianglu Yalugu who carries this idea.

The ancient town of Bing'an, close to mountains and beside rivers, has been a famous post station and commodity distribution center for Sichuan salt to Guizhou since ancient times, and is praised by experts and scholars as "a living fossil of Ming and Qing architecture and history". Numerous tourists come here to feel the original and simple ancient town customs.

Above the Donghuamen in Bing'an Ancient Town, 2 kilometers away, in the lobby of the home stay in the Diaojiao Building of Dashundian, Chishui, which is surrounded by water in a fan shape and surrounded by green windows, the voice of mobile phone sending messages rings from time to time.

As experienced tourists, Lu Xiaowen and her husband Li Wei not only moved their family from Beijing to Chishui, but also transformed the century old Dashundian stilted building into a home stay. On this platform, Lu Xiaonuan not only prepares Chishui travel strategies in each room, but also provides customized travel services for guests. It has become her daily life to worry about the food, accommodation, travel, shopping and entertainment of guests.

"You will stay in Chishui for three days and two nights. On April 6, you will catch up with the market in Fuxing Ancient Town. It is suggested that you go to experience the local cultural customs; the next day, you will take a taxi to Chishui Falls, Foguangyan, Yanziyan and other tourist attractions, and return to Bing'an at night to eat fresh and tender cold water fish."

In a WeChat group called "2024.4.6 (Room 102) Ms. Tan", Lu Xiaowen, the owner of home stay for the post-80s generation, is providing Guangdong tourists with a service in front of the store - customized travel routes.

After welcoming and seeing off a batch of guests every day, Lu Xiaonuan habitually goes to each empty room to have a look, adjust the placement of pillows, add slippers with national characteristics, and read the Chishui travel strategy prepared for guests

In 2023, the Third Plenary Session of the Thirteenth CPC Guizhou Provincial Committee pointed out that we should make good use of natural treasures and cultural treasures, focus on the "three elements" of resources, tourists and services, and accelerate the building of world-class tourist destinations.

Located in the blending area of Sichuan and Guizhou cultures, Chishui has the titles of "the crown of Danxia", "the hometown of thousands of waterfalls", "the capital of bamboo in China", and "the kingdom of spinulosa spinulosa". With its "purposeful" tourism resources, Chishui has attracted more than 20000 visitors this Tomb Sweeping Day holiday.

Located in Chishui, the "Capital of Bamboo in China" and the "Hometown of Thousands of Waterfalls", Bing'an Ancient Town is surrounded by waterfalls, flowing water and bamboo forests, which is full of poetry. Located in the blending area of Sichuan and Guizhou cultures, Bing'an Ancient Town always welcomes many Sichuan and Chongqing tourists on weekends.

As early as 14 years ago, Li Wei and Lu Xiaowen came here because of the fame of Chishui Danxia.

In 2010, Chishui Danxia became the eighth world natural heritage project in China. In the same year, Lu Xiaonuan, 23, and Li Wei, then the tourism webmaster of Tianya, came to Chishui from Beijing, and they had the idea of staying.

At that time, the construction of Renchi Expressway had just begun. Two young people from the city took a plane to Luzhou, Sichuan, and shook on the winding road for more than 2 hours before arriving in Chishui.

With 10000 mu of bamboo sea, Chishui's bamboo shoots can not be eaten all year round. Stir fried bacon with spring bamboo shoots, braised spring bamboo shoots, cold mixed spring bamboo shoots, etc. are the dining table delicacies of Chishui people today.

However, the bamboo sea, waterfalls, Danxia landform, authentic food... Chishui's ecological resources and cultural landscape make them intoxicated.

The unruly soul is always on the road. In 2014, two people with stable jobs in Beijing finally decided to use their rich tourism experience to start a home stay business.

In the same year, Chishui was selected as the national tourism standardization demonstration city. After many investigations, Li Wei and Lu Xiaonuan finally decided to move their family to Chishui and open their home stay on the green water of the Bamboo Sea.

　

Dashundian Diaojiao has a long history and deep feelings for the local people. After Li Wei and Lu Xiaonuan rented it, they invited professional architects to carry out protective transformation. Today, walking in the home stay, you can still feel the original stilted building structure.

Rented the stilted building of Dashundian, which has a history of 100 years, and designed a simple and elegant home stay in a protective transformation way.

On May 1, 2017, it took two years to officially open the Diaojiaolou B&B in Chishui Dashun Store. Relying on the ancient town of Bing'an, which is full of smoke and fire, countless guests came from the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Sichuan Chongqing areas to listen to the wind blowing through the bamboo forests and the murmur of the river to sleep.

"If you want to experience the red culture, you can leave along the National Highway 546, go to the ancient town of Tucheng in Xishui County step by step, visit the Memorial Hall of Sidu Chishui, the Wine Culture City and so on."

"It's easy to see the rainbow at 4 p.m. in Chishui Waterfall, and the Foguangyan is more beautiful after the rain!"

　　……

　　

In Chishui Danxia Tourist Area, the primitive forests that block the sky, the clouds and mists that haunt the mountains, and the numerous waterfalls that lean down all let people who have been in the city for a long time feel the charm of nature.

Li Wei and Lu Xiaonuan are always happy to draw up tourist routes according to people's conditions. We have built B&B into a "24-hour online travel strategy platform in Chishui". Although they are different, they have a number of high net worth customers.

In the summer vacation of 2018, when Lu Xiaonuan took two children to experience the production of Bing'an intangible cultural heritage handmade oil paper umbrellas with small guests staying in the hotel, Gan Hao, a freshman in hotel management, went to Jianglu · Yueshan, located in Huangguoshu Tourism Zone, Anshun City, to practice.

After work, Gan Hao always likes to look at the Baling River Bridge and Dishuitan Waterfall not far away. The dreamy and beautiful scenery made him couldn't help mentioning it with his classmates from other provinces after he returned to school. Unexpectedly, the student asked, "Is Guizhou really so good?"

The concept of "living in the scenery" is more concrete when you look at the Baling River Bridge surrounded by clouds from Jianglu Yueshan. Gan Hao always likes to look into the distance like this. He always seems to want to see all the wonderful rivers and mountains in Guizhou while he is young. After graduation, he also became a person who let people all over the world see the great rivers and mountains of Guizhou through Jianglu.

How can we show the beauty of Guizhou to the outside world? After thinking for several times, Gan Hao found the answer after graduating from college - home stay.

In October 2022, the Jianglu Yalugu, which perfectly integrates the century old Chishui Danxia Cave, Bamboo Sea Waterfall and modern design style, will be put into operation, and soon become popular.

As the first natural waterfall cave homestay in China, Jianglu Yalugu is based on the unique Danxia Cave with a history of 100 years, allowing guests to experience the lofty feeling of sitting and watching the falling waterfall, the elegance and poetry of the wind blowing bamboo forest.

Gan Hao came to Jianglu Yalugu two months early to take charge of the homestay land reclamation work, and became the store manager in February 2023. The average age of his team was 25 years old.

Each room has its own butler, who can solve unexpected problems at any time while providing full process services; The host will check the aesthetic presentation form of each home stay, and strive to let the guests live in the most beautiful scenery; Free experiences such as ordering tea in the Song Dynasty, planting rice and cooking tea in a furnace are provided. Guests can experience the beauty of life like travel while visiting Chishui scenic spots.

At the reception of the Jianglu Yalu Ancient Restaurant in the cave, guests always like to exchange their travel experience with Gan Hao while drinking the special drinks provided by the bar.

In February of the same year, the General Office of the Provincial People's Government issued the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the High Quality Development of the Home stay Industry in Guizhou. Clustering, branding and integration of culture and tourism have also become the development keywords of Chishui B&B industry.

Unlike the post-80s generation, the post-95 generation Gan Hao believes that B&B itself can become a tourist destination.

"The clustering of home stay can not only further enhance the attraction of Chishui tourism, but also gather more tourists, policies and resources." Although Gan Hao is the new store manager, he is not timid. "We should stick to the quality of service, treat guests as friends, think ahead of everything, and do a good job of butler service. Isn't that home at home?"

It's a good time to eat bamboo shoots. Gan Hao has prepared many seasonal home dishes for guests, so that guests can experience the most authentic life in Chishui during their travel.

The service of heart for heart made the number of people received by Jianglu Yalu during the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday reach 212, and the business income reached 210000 yuan, which also made Dashun store gain many new friends.

"Chishui is my first time here, and it is very attractive. I am most impressed by the ecological landscape of Chishui Danxia Tourism Area and the simple and primitive cultural landscape of Bing'an Ancient Town." Hu Peigen, an 83 year old Chongqing tourist who is a guest of Dashun Store, is still hale and hearty.

The streets and alleys of Bing'an Ancient Town contain touching primitive humanistic customs. Visitors come and go, feeling the heritage and charm of the ancient town brought by the changes of years.

"The teacher was carrying a camera to take a picture of the Chishui Waterfall, and even though his pants were wet, he was reluctant to leave." At the same time, Su Fei, a student accompanying the old man on his journey, took the lead.

While talking and laughing, Lu Xiaonuan arranged a porter for the old man to arrive at the store. The porter picked up two boxes of luggage with his back basket, and the group walked out of the alley of the ancient town chatting.
