? I remember the first time I came to Guiyang was in 2, and I stayed here for nearly a month because of my work, but in a strict sense, I should have visited Guizhou Province, because I actually stayed in Guiyang for less than a week, and most of the time I hurried back to eight prefectures and cities in Guizhou Province, so I didn't have a deep impression of Guiyang, so I can only say that I met Guiyang. I didn't expect to come to Guiyang this time because of my work, and because of the long project time, I had the opportunity to get in touch with this southwest metropolis with unique national and local characteristics for the first time. As an old saying in China says, "the north of the mountain is cloudy, and the south of the mountain is sunny", so it is named "Guiyang" because the city is located in Shan Zhinan. At the same time, ancient Guiyang is rich in beautiful bamboo, so it is called "Zhu" for short. Of course, due to the development of the city, it is difficult to see large bamboo forests in the city. When getting off the plane, Guiyang gives people the first impression that the climate is pleasant. From the 356-degree heat in Guangzhou to Guiyang, you will feel as if you are in the other half of the world. Subtropical humid mild climate, summer without heat, winter without cold weather makes you free from the big steamer wrapped in reinforced concrete at once, and your whole body's breathing and mood seem to be much smoother in an instant. When you set foot on taxis and buses in Guiyang, you will find a phenomenon different from other cities. There are few air-conditioned cars here, and there is no need to turn on the air conditioner in taxis and buses. Just open the windows, and the cool breeze will blow all over the carriage, which is completely different from the smell in buses with air conditioning in other cities. When you open the windows, you will be greeted by suffocating hot air, so every time you introduce people who live here with the best climate in China to your friends or colleagues. Kunming is a big spring city and Guiyang is a small spring city. People widely praise: "There is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and Guiyang has the best climate", which should be a generous compliment to the climate of Guiyang!

? Guiyang is located in the hills, surrounded by mountains and lush trees, and has always been called "the capital of mountain countries". Because there are many mountains, the land is so precious. Most of the houses in Guiyang are high-rise buildings with high density. Many houses are built in the middle of the mountains or slopes. Looking at the opposite distance with an empty gap, it is really a mirage. Because there are many mountains, the roads are rugged and steep. I have been to many cities. For the first time, I feel that there are so many slopes to climb in a city, and many slopes are long and steep (some slopes can reach an angle of 5-6), and these are the second. The most surprising thing is that many kinds of cars can be parked on these steep and long slopes. Whenever I go up from the downhill, I always feel a little worried, for fear of these parked cars. Haha, of course, these estimates are all my personal worries, because I haven't heard from Guiyang people that such a thing happened so far. Because the slope is steep, shopping in Guiyang city is a relatively physical exercise. In Guiyang, obese people are rarely seen. Although the girls here are not very tall, they are all slim. I think this has something to do with the terrain here. "Sichuan has great sticks, Guiyang has backpacks". No matter where you walk in Guiyang, you will meet such a special group of people-basket-carrying workers, and the number is quite large. The characteristic is that the metropolis carries a wide-brimmed bamboo basket behind it. I guess they should all come from the surrounding rural counties to find jobs and earn some pocket money to subsidize their family life. When you are new here, you may think that there are such a group of migrant workers in a provincial capital city who are dressed like wolves and don't look very clean, which will affect the city's external image and public security, but when you observe them and get in touch with them, you will find that they are actually so simple and sincere. Many shops and residential houses in Guiyang city are built on the hillside, and the streets are narrow, so many people and vehicles can't get in. It's really tiring to buy something a little more important or buy some goods, carry it home by one person, and climb another 5 or 6 floors, so many such jobs are left to basket-carrying workers who rely on physical strength to do. As long as you say hello by the roadside, a large group of basket-carrying workers will be surrounded. When you have negotiated the price, they can use their unique basket-carrying tools to help you carry all the goods safely to the place you want. This is more convenient and faster than any other tools, and the price is not expensive. I once saw a basket-carrying worker carrying 4 or 5 boxes of fruit and a big color TV with his employees walking home. Of course, some lazy city dwellers even like to call a basket-bearer to buy food. They can hire a basket-bearer to follow you to buy food, and then put everything they buy in his basket. He will follow you all the time until you come back to your door after buying food. Although sometimes the work is tired and dirty, what I see on the face of the basket-bearer is always a smile and longing for a better life tomorrow. In Guiyang, a metropolis, basket-carrying workers have gradually formed a unique group-basket-carrying army. During the day, they wander around the streets looking for vitality. At night, they lie on the floor in front of some shops that closed earlier, and magically take out simple bedding from the basket and lay it on the ground until dawn. Although their presence has brought the city a mess, it is because of their contribution that they have brought the convenient circulation of goods and the rapid development and prosperity of the city.

? When it comes to the characteristics of Guiyang, we can't help but talk about the food in Guiyang. Guiyang people are also famous for their spicy food. There is not such a saying that "Sichuanese are not afraid of spicy food! People in Guizhou are not afraid of spicy food! Hunan people are afraid of being spicy! " Sichuan is spicy! Guizhou is spicy! Hunan is spicy! During our business trip, I deeply realized the taste of spicy oil. Because we are working in Guiyang Electric Power Bureau, we are naturally arranged to have dinner with the staff in the internal canteen of the Electric Power Bureau. Every time we eat in the canteen of the Electric Power Bureau, we will have such a sigh that the dishes in the bureau are really spicy and oily, especially the oil. Every time we finish eating, a thick layer of red spicy oil accumulates in the basin. We laughed and said that the oil and water left in a pot of vegetables in the canteen of the Electric Power Bureau is enough for our canteen to fry another pot of vegetables. The biggest advantage of a business trip to Guiyang is that it's delicious. No matter you go into that small restaurant on the street, the fried food can catch up with the "Fire Palace" in Zhuhai. Less than a month after I came to Guiyang, my mouth got angry twice. I, a Hunan native who claims to be afraid of spicy food, was impressed by the peppers here. Over time, I found that Guiyang's cooking has a special feature. I like to put a lot of dried peppers and millet peppers in the dishes. The dried peppers are ground into powder and flake, which is already spicy. Coupled with more spicy millet peppers and heavy oil and water, the fried dishes are mostly red and fragrant, and they taste even more "spicy!" Spicy! " Yes. In many residential alleys facing the street, you can see shops that buy peppers everywhere. The neat dustpan in the shop is filled with dried big red peppers, all of which are red and dark. From a distance, they are dark and red, which looks good! The owner of the shop took some dried peppers and twisted them in a jar with a small iron rod, and ground them into powder to make pepper powder and sell them. Therefore, in Guiyang, we are never afraid of not having fresh Chili powder to eat, and most of them are freshly ground and sold. Unlike those cities in Guangzhou, we can only go to the supermarket to buy some bagged Chili powder. When it comes to eating in Guiyang, we can't help talking about snacks in Guiyang. Guiyang people and Chengdu people have a great similarity-they love to eat and can eat. There are a wide variety of snacks in Guiyang, which not only gives Guiyang people a chance to eat their fill, but also makes Guiyang people earn the reputation of loving and eating. Our hotel is just near Hequn Road, a famous small food street in Guiyang, so that when we are free, we can go to the night market to experience the snack characteristics of Guiyang after work. There is a jingle in Guiyang snacks, and a doggerel is a popular flavor snack among Guiyang citizens. Its poem is "Tofu Garden is full of prosperous noodles, Lotus Leaf Ciba Caba Shop, a big color brush handle (wonton and the like), a surname who treads on wonton, and a golden sheep tail in Wujia Tangyuan, with oil fans not seeing silver soup, so you can eat salty or sweet as you like", which sums up how much Guiyang is. In the list of 16 "Eight Famous Snacks in Guiyang" selected by Guiyang people (changwang noodles, tofu balls, love tofu fruit, cake porridge, beef powder, Guiyang chicken cake, huang ba, crispy bread, bowl ear cake, black glutinous rice eight-treasure rice, lotus leaf rice cake, silk doll, rice tofu, beef rolling, and rolling. We can only taste two or three of pickled pepper ribs, dry-fried fish with hydrochloric acid, spicy chicken, fried shredded pork with konjac crispy rice, Chinese sauerkraut hooves, braised pork with Guizhou flavor, hydrangea hooves, Kung Pao chicken, roasted duck with konjac, chili pepper sauce, minced garlic, fried pork with broken ears, fried Qingyan tofu, and champion hooves, because of work and money.

When I first heard Guiyang people say "silk dolls", I was shocked, because it suddenly reminded me of the "ginseng fruit" in Journey to the West. Both of them are dolls. Will they look alike? Later, when I saw the silk doll, I found that it was far less horrible than "ginseng fruit", but it was much more complicated than eating "ginseng fruit". Guiyang people have many explanations for "silk doll", but I think this explanation should be the most comprehensive: firstly, this "silk" is named because a small thin-skinned bread is wrapped with a lot of shredded radish, broken ears and kelp, and secondly, the "doll" is named because its shape is big and small, especially as a baby wrapped in thin silk. It really took a lot of effort to eat the "silk doll" for the first time. When you saw the desktop of the silk doll, you felt that it was a huge project. I saw food stalls along the street, each with a long stretch and rows of small stools. The booth is full of all kinds of shredded vegetables, with 1 or 2 varieties. Cut the shredded vegetables very finely, alternating with red, white, yellow and black. The stalls are also filled with all kinds of spices, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and cooked oil. When eating, a thin paper-like pancake with cooked size is made of flour, and a variety of seasonings, such as shredded radish, roots of broken ears, mung bean sprouts, kelp, fried soybeans, and hot peppers, are wrapped in the dough and rolled into small rolls, and then poured with a good seasoning to eat. The taste is fragrant and full of characteristics. But when I wrapped it for the first time, I really didn't know how to wrap it, because the dough was small and the things I put were not easy to master, so the silk doll wrapped was either too fat (the shredded vegetables inside were exposed, and it was too big to bite) or too small (it was easy to leak into my hands when pouring soup), which was really embarrassing when eating. Finally, I watched the local people at the next table wrap it two or three times before I secretly learned how to eat.

? Sausage noodles are a famous specialty snack in Guizhou province, and also one of the essential breakfast types for Guiyang citizens. Many Guiyang citizens have been used to getting up early in the morning "with it" for decades. For example, there is a changwang noodle shop at the intersection across the road from where we live. Sometimes when we pass by at noon on weekends, we often see a long queue to eat noodles. Guiyang changwang noodles is an egg noodle made of pig intestines and pig blood. There are more than 2 kinds of ingredients and seasonings for changwang noodles, especially the preparation of pig intestines: the intestines should be stewed slowly in a casserole with low fire, cooked and then removed and sliced. However, Xuewang mixed with mung bean sprouts before eating noodles and put them into the soup pot. After the noodles are cooked, fish them into a big bowl, mix them with the fat sausage in the casserole pot, the freshly marinated blood curd and mung bean sprouts, sprinkle with a kind of fried diced pork with bad head called "Crispy Whistle", and pour in spicy oil to make the soup bright red, the intestines fat and delicious, and the blood curd tender and smooth. Up to now, it has a history of more than 1 years, and it is a famous flavor snack in Guiyang. But the price is not cheap either. A bowl of vermicelli is the cheapest one in 4.5 yuan, and the amount is not much. Every time I finish eating a bowl, I always feel wanting more. Compared with the amount of vermicelli eaten in Henan and Shandong, it is simply dwarfed. The bowl in the north is big and full, while the bowl in the south is relatively small and less. I often think after eating it, what a wonderful thing it would be to combine the taste of the south with the weight of the north!

? Guiyang has a good climate, so even when the sun is bright in summer, it will not affect people's mood of going out shopping and playing. When taking a bus in Guiyang, young people basically don't grab seats, because you will find that there are many elderly people, and you will often have to give seats to the old people who just got on the bus, thus gradually forming a good riding atmosphere in Guiyang (the same phenomenon was found in Kunming). Unlike in big cities like Guangzhou, young people rarely take the initiative to give up their seats when they see old people getting on the bus. Why are so many old people willing to go out? When I think about it carefully, it turns out that the climate is good, so many old people are willing to go out for activities, go for a walk in the park, play Tai Chi, and sing Peking Opera, which has become an indispensable and very pleasant thing for them every day. Seeing these scenes, I often think, if I am old, I must come to such a city for a stable old age if I have the opportunity! It seems to be a law that there are many beautiful women in places where there are many mountains and rivers, and Guiyang is no exception. Walking on Guiyang Street, you can often meet beautiful women walking on your face inadvertently, which is more likely than many cities I have been to (cities in Sichuan have never been to). I have been to Hangzhou for a month, which was also in June and July in summer. At that time, the story of "The Legend of the New White Snake" kept echoing in my mind, thinking that there should be many beautiful women to see in Hangzhou. But after I went there, I found that the chances of meeting beautiful women on the streets of Hangzhou in summer are so rare (of course, I just have enough eyes and no other thoughts), unlike in Guiyang, where I can meet good-looking girls and pass you by in a short time. Sometimes I wonder, this may also be related to the climate. After all, the high temperature in Hangzhou, which is close to 4 degrees in July and August, has long scared the beautiful women away from going out. Unlike in Guiyang, the hottest late July, the average temperature is only 24 degrees, so as not to affect the interest of beautiful women in shopping, and only to have the opportunity to see more beautiful women on the street. Being a woman in Guiyang, I think it should be a very happy thing! You can wear many beautiful skirts all year round. (* _ _ *) Hee hee! !

? Guiyang is a multi-ethnic city dominated by the Han nationality. Its long history has nurtured the splendid national cultures of 38 ethnic groups in this land and formed rich national customs. Some young men and women of ethnic minorities hold festivals such as "April 8", "March 3", "June 6" and "jumping on the field" through affectionate singing and dancing. There are Nuo operas and local operas called the embryonic form and "living fossil" of China's dramas. However, these national customs can only be seen in the surrounding counties and cities, and the expansion of urbanization and the monotonous life of metropolis doomed its customs to be common and vulgar, but due to business trips,
