This ancient Ming dynasty town was called the Far Away town, or the Hidden Town. It is indeed far away and nested in a deep valley north east of Kaili. Despite a very touristic side, the architecture remains stunning and some ancient courtyard homes can be visited.
At night, all the waterside houses are lit, as well as the antique bridge and central pagoda. Stunning.

The Wu Yang River scenic area is close to Zhenyuan town.
From the car park and entrance (fee 100RMB) you walk about 10-15min to an area where there are small food stalls, washrooms and where you can board a boat (40RMB) to take you on a 45min cruise up and down the river. Although the river did not appear very clean and the water levels seemed very low (Guizhou I understand is experiencing a severe drought) the scenery is nevertheless very beautiful.
The boat trip comes with a Chinese language guide - some people may find the constant commentary (at least down river) distracting or perhaps even irritating.
The reason I rate this place as only average is due to the rather expensive entrance fee and the seperate fee for a boat trip.
There is little information available other than in Chinese as this attraction seems to be visited mainly by domestic tourists.

This is a group of mountain side temples on the right bank of the Wuyang river in Zhenyuang. There are Buddhist, Confucian and Taoist temples. The site offers a breathtaking view over the ancient Ming town. There is also a small interesting museum at the foothill and a former assembly hall where currency exchange was handled. A must.
The site gets lit at 19:30pm and there is a short but amazing changing color display, after which the lighting sets still. Don't miss it. After this, only the bridge will keep changing color.

The wall can be accessed from the Shipingshan park (石屏山) which requires a ticket during working hours. If you get there before 7am or after 6pm then there is no one to collect the payment and you can just go up.
Alternatively you can access the wall from the other end of town via an alley near Longquan Inn (龙泉客栈). Walk the steps until you reach a T junction, turn right you can reach a temple which is near the Shipingshan end of the wall. Turn left and continue to go up and you will find the other end of the wall and a fantastic view of the Zhenyuan town.

镇远的天后宫是我到达的第一站，因为我就住里面的客栈里。这个天后宫是为了纪念海神妈祖和作为福建同乡会馆而建的，有些年代了，外观看起来有些旧。去天后宫要爬高高的台阶，对于老年人来说不方便，台阶很陡，很多地方磨的发亮了。天后宫在新大街上，要看夜景，要走到老街上，从这边绕着老街的河走一圈，还是有点远的。

高过河漂流，是镇远比较出名的一个景点，很多人到了夏天会到这边来，这是一条被称为“会唱歌的河流”，为何这么说呢，其实是这漂流非常的刺激。我是6月份去的，漂流刚开放，下了几天雨，这水实在是大，浑身全部湿透，非常的过瘾，但6月份漂流还是有些冷，贵州天生就是个避暑的地方，建议还是7.8月份去，我快被冻死了。漂流完了，河边有卖一些吃的东西，烤的，可以补充一下能量。

Sur le chemin de la muraille des Miaos cette montée dans la ville puis dans les bois permet de mieux connaitre les gens de cette contrée et la flore de la montagne.
Même si on ne parle pas le mandarin, un sourire et un petit "Ni Hao" peut vous ouvrir des portes. Attention le chemin est escarpé et la surveillance des enfants est de rigueur.
Lieu très peux fréquenté des touristes.
