🔴 Play Guide: Huangguoshu Waterfall - Tianxingqiao (second half) - Doupotang (86 Journey to the West filming location)
🗾 Huangguoshu Waterfall (including photo 1.5h)
Take the scenic sightseeing bus to Huangguoshu Waterfall, hike down the mountain (20 minutes), you will pass 3 viewing platforms, view Huangguoshu Waterfall from high to low, there are signs to Shuiliandong (recommended to bring a raincoat) go directly in, this section is all the way down the mountain, finally to the low end of Huangguoshu Waterfall, close-up of the big waterfall, then take a one-way escalator up.
🗾 Tianxingqiao (including photo 2h)
A more physically demanding attraction, divided into the first half and the second half, the first half has a wishing pavilion, a stone road with 365 days a year printed on it, and some artificial landscapes, I only walked the second half which was very exciting, perfectly avoiding the commercial area of Gaolaozhuang, the second half passed 88 iron cable bridge-bridge on bridge-Tianxingdong-Maoshui pool-Silver chain waterfall-cableway.
‼️ How to get to the second half of Tianxingqiao?‼️
Do not enter when you arrive at the entrance of Tianxingqiao, face the main gate and walk up the slope stairs on the left, go against the flow of tourists all the way, you will see Huangguoshu Folk Snack City, walk all the way to the very lively fruit stalls, do not go down the stairs from the stalls, there is a parking lot on the left hand side behind the stalls, after seeing the toilet, there will be a signpost for the second half of Tianxingqiao.
🗾 Doupotang (including photo 1.5h)
Relatively gentle, the attraction is not big, 86 Journey to the West filming location, the waterfall is short and fat, if time is not enough, you can skip here.
Stayed in a hotel near Huangguoshu Scenic Area the night before, 7 minutes walk to the entrance of the scenic area, very convenient, the hotel can also pick up and drop off the scenic area. This way, you can go directly to the scenic area as soon as it opens, without having to get up early, so to speak, this itinerary is quite smooth.
🎫 Tickets: 160+ sightseeing bus 50+ escalator 30+ cableway 10

Reading mountains on the cliff, that moment healed me~
Taking my parents on the fourth stop of our trip, we arrived at the Huangguoshu Waterfall in Anshun, and there happened to be a homestay brand that I really like, so I chose this homestay without hesitation.
Upon first seeing Jianglu Yueshan, the white exterior of the homestay showcased its unique modern charm. Located on the edge of a river valley cliff, it overlooks the distant Balin River Bridge. The infinity pool jutting out from the cliff perfectly blends into nature. When you are there, it feels as if you are in a real painting. As night falls, sitting by the pool, the distant mountains seem even more mysterious. The spring breeze gently caresses my face, and at that moment, my whole heart is healed, it is peaceful.
🛖Homestay Name: Jianglu·Yueshan
🛕Homestay Features:
1. The butler's service makes you feel cared for. The free evening tea by the hearth is something you can enjoy.
2. The rooms are decorated in a modern style, with smart toilets, bathtubs, and Marshall speakers as just the standard amenities.
3. We stayed in a room on the third floor with huge floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing me to comfortably start reading mountains right when I wake up.
4. On the rooftop terrace, you can not only enjoy tea in the tea room but also relax, daydream, meditate, or practice yoga on the spacious platform, which is really relaxing. This is what is called a sense of relaxation.
5. It is worth mentioning the homestay's homemade dishes and hotpot, which are characteristic of Guizhou, such as Zhe'ergen, beef with skin in a dry pot, and more, all delicious.

Escape City Plan| Set off to experience nature, watch mountains, rivers, sunsets and distant waterfalls
| Set off to experience nature, watch mountains, rivers, sunsets and distant waterfalls. The hotel is about 20 minutes' drive from the Dripping Waterfall. The waterfall is already spectacular from a distance, and you can't help but marvel at the wonders of nature when you experience the waterfall up close. The waterfalls in Guizhou are really something, the camera really can't record its beauty!! (The waterfall will be more spectacular in the rainy season)
Super large viewing window. The new Chinese Zen-style rooms are full of Zen and bookishness. Through the windows of each room, you can see the Baling River Bridge that spans the misty clouds. Here, you can drink a cup of tea, watch a bridge, and sit in a daze all day. Open the door and you will see the mountain, live like traveling, and travel like living
| Half a day of leisure in life. It should not just watch the flowing clouds
Looking from the top of Yueshan Tower, the Baling River Bridge is close at hand, you can go to the bottom of the bridge for sightseeing, bungee jumping; the slightly distant Dripping Waterfall steps down three steps into the valley, you can walk or drive to watch. In the Zhiyu Meditation Room, you can lightly knock on the Sanskrit sound, listen to the wind, watch the clouds, and talk to yourself; you can also read quietly by yourself or invite three or five friends to taste tea.
Enjoy the fun of the mountains and forests
You can stretch your body and mind next to the infinity pool on the top floor, or cooperate with your child to knock a ethereal drum, or you can hold your child's hand and walk in the mountains
Huangguoshu - the biggest waterfall in China
The waterfall is amazing! Especially when you are going through the tunnel under it.
But gosh, it was sososo crowded this July: in the line in the tunnel people almost didn't move... So I have mixed feelings from the trip...
Still glad we saw that beauty and power.
To get there we took a hello taxi from Guiyang

Chasing Waterfalls in Guizhou
Huangguoshu Waterfall
Cost- ¥210 for adults
Attractions - A shuttle bus will take you to 3 scenic areas, however, Huangguoshu Waterfall is by far the best attraction in the park. You can observe the waterfall from below, above and behind!
We recommend staying close to the park so you can arrive as early as possible to avoid the crowds. We stayed in Zhenning, Anshun.
Food & Restaurants - lots of Chinese restaurants, snack bars, fresh fruit and a KFC throughout the park.
Opening Hours - 7am-6pm

Huangguoshu Waterfall at night
Last year, one of the most famous waterfall in China launch night travel. It is a wonderful experience to both experience the beauty of nature with well designed performance and light show. With student discounts, only 100+ bucks, it is well worth the experience. When we are traveling, due to the Covid reason, the attraction is almost empty, which gives tourists much better experience. The performance is great, and at night, the temperature is much cooler. Such tour is recommended if you want to have a less crowded experience for the waterfall and enjoy the wanderful performances. The only downside is that the tickets is different from the day travel and you cannot buy one ticket to enjoy both day view and night view.
The largest waterfall in Asia!💙
Wonderful experience in Huangguoshu waterfall. It is the largest waterfall in Asia and the third largest waterfall in the world. If you are planning to visit Guizhou province, this incredible spot is a MUST VISIT!

Guizhou Mountain Escape
Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and escape to the mountainous region of Guizhou. This boutique hotel is nestled in a partially developed serene forest area of Zhenning (just outside of Anshun). If you’re looking for rest and relaxation without any disturbances then this is your place to go. The room that we were in had a bathtub overlooking the mountains and Balinghe Bridge. Both of which looked breathtaking at sunrise and sunset.
* Getting There - At the Anshun railway station we managed to get a private cab that took us to this hotel. We had to negotiate a fair price with him and asked him to collect us as well upon checkout.
* Attractions - The hotel overlooks the striking Balinghe Brige which can you bungee jump off depending on the weather. The Balinghe Bridge holds the Guinness World Record for the being the highest (370.25m) commercial bungee jump facility in the world.
* Food & Restaurants - The only food available was that of the hotel. Their local Guizhou food is simply delicious.

Breathtaking Mountain View Boutique Hote
I think that the name of this hotel gives away how serene this place is. It has a breathtaking view of the Balinghe Bridge as well as of the mountains across from it.
* Address – Manzhai Village, Zhenning
* Getting There - We took a shuttle to our destination and back again. This place is remote so I suggest that you should make proper travel arrangements for pickup with the same person that dropped you off. From the railway station, it is about a 45-minute drive here and you can easily find a shuttle/metered cab/Didi from the train station.
* Ambiance/Facilities – There is nothing do here except relax and take in the tranquility that this hotel has to offer. There is a view deck on the top of the hotel as well as a tea house. The restaurant serves delicious Guizhou style food.
* Highlights – The venue itself is a highlight. It’s a great place to take photos at.
* Avg. Price– 500RMB/night
* Rating – 8.5/10

The Silver Chain Falls Waterfall is the most beautiful waterfall in the Huangguoshu Waterfalls. The waterfall is funnel-shaped and the bottom is a trough-like melting pool.

Quick tour of Huangguoshu Waterfall.
After getting off at Anshun West Station, you can take the direct bus to the scenic area or carpool. We chose to carpool to save time, which cost about CNY 22 per person and took about 50 minutes to get to the ticket office. The ticket is CNY 160, and the sightseeing bus is CNY 50, which is a must-buy. It takes 15 minutes to get to the main entrance of the waterfall. If you have time, you can walk to the waterfall and take the elevator back, which costs CNY 30 for a single trip and CNY 50 for a round trip. Unfortunately, the Water Curtain Cave was closed when we went there. The waterfall is still very large and impressive. It took about an hour to take all kinds of photos and return. Then take the sightseeing bus to Tianxing Bridge, which takes two hours. It is a natural oxygen bar with various landscapes. There are fruit sellers on the road, and the further you go, the cheaper it is. The Yinzuotan Waterfall is also very beautiful.

On a sunny autumn day, the parks are packed with people. To create a happy outdoor environment for the kids, we found a pet-friendly homestay. I have to say, it's a dream homestay.
Reasons for recommendation (beautiful environment, family-friendly)
There are many animals, free-range, friendly, and they can enter the yard. Alpacas, ponies, donkeys, sika deer, rabbits, goats, cows, black swans... A bag of carrots costs CNY 10, and it's full. The kids had a great time feeding the animals up close.
There are red donkey carts and horse-drawn carriages. Guests can ride for free as many times as they want (but I don't recommend riding repeatedly, as it's hard work for the animals. If the homestay could switch to electric carts, it would be more animal-friendly).
The rooms are spacious, and each room has a yard, a beautiful forest, a lawn, and roads for cycling. There are so many things for the kids to do, and only guests are allowed, so it's very quiet. At night, there are high-definition outdoor movies (they show cartoons, which the kids love).
Pet-friendly, you can bring your own pet. Walking the dog is not much different from visiting a small park.
Homestay: Shanyueji · Muyetonghua Homestay
Drive: 1.5 hours from Guiyang
Nearby attractions: 3 km from Huangguoshu Scenic Area, very close
Tips:
1. If your child is afraid of large animals, consider carefully before visiting. The animals here can enter the rooms, and they're not afraid of people, so they may get very close to you. Although they don't hurt people, timid children may still be scared.
2. The bed types, yards, and bed sizes of the various room types are the same, only the location is different. For example, we stayed in the Happy Alpaca room type, and the yard leads to the lawn, which is relatively spacious. The Swan Lake room type has a lake outside the yard, and there are swans on the lake. The room type on the right in picture 5 is the Sika Deer room type, which has a private hot spring, and the yard leads to the forest. Each has its own merits, and they're all beautiful.
Huangguoshu Waterfall Lazy Tour Guide: No Crowds, No Stress! Enjoy a Relaxing Tour.
Guangdong residents with ID numbers starting with 44 can enter for free. If you are not eligible, you cannot buy free tickets online. You can buy VIP tickets at the ticket center entrance without queuing. VIP tickets are great for holidays. You don't need to queue for the sightseeing bus, and the rest area has food and drinks. The toilets are clean and there is no need to wait.
The secret passage is great. You can find a guide on Trip.com. Walk for about 10 minutes along the boardwalk behind the Xiaketing Pavilion at the Duopotang exit. You can visit Duopotang first and then the main waterfall. Buy a one-way ticket for the escalator up to the main waterfall.
You can skip the Water Curtain Cave and Tianxing Bridge for a more relaxing tour. The whole tour is about 10,000 steps. Start at around 1 pm and finish before 6 pm. The tour is relaxing and not crowded, and the experience is great.
Huangguoshu Waterfall - The Largest Waterfall in Asia, A Journey to Purify the Soul
The Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area consists of three main attractions: the Grand Waterfall, Doupotang, and Tianxingqiao.
The Grand Waterfall is majestic, especially when the water flow is abundant. The water cascades down, crashing onto the rocks below, creating layers of white waves accompanied by a roaring sound, making it a masterpiece of nature.
Doupotang is one of the filming locations for the 1986 version of Journey to the West. Although it lacks the grandeur of the Grand Waterfall, its magnificent scenery is unforgettable.
The Tianxingqiao Scenic Area features Tianxing Cave and the Silver Chain Waterfall. Tianxing Cave is a large karst cave with unique and awe-inspiring rock formations. The lower part of Tianxingqiao, the Silver Chain Waterfall, is no less impressive than the Grand Waterfall. The splashing water and deafening sound showcase the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature, leaving a lasting impression.
In the hustle and bustle of life, take a moment to enjoy this grand feast of nature, purify your soul, recharge, and set off again.
