Huangguoshu Waterfall Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
🌈 Rainbows and Waterfalls 🌈
#chasingwaterfalls
Huangguoshu Waterfall is a real spectacle! If you hit it after recent rainfall its at its most beautiful but even without that it remains an incredible waterfall! Work your way around to experience the rainbow at the bottom 😍
Be warned, the queue is crazy! My advice would be to go there as early as possible and make your way straight to the majn waterfall. You can spend the rest of your time exploring the surrounding the area which is also very beautiful and has many smaller waterfalls and walks for you to enjoy.

Huangguoshu Waterfall 🏞 (3rd Largest)
Huangguoshu Waterfall or 'Yellow-Fruit Tree Waterfalls' is one of the largest waterfalls in China and East Asia located on the Baishui River in Anshun, Guizhou province.
It is featured ranked as the largest waterfall cluster in the world in the Guinness Book of World Records!
There is a Water-Curtain Cave named "Shuiliandong" (水帘洞), a 134 m (440 ft) long naturally formed cave located in the back of the waterfall. It is believed that this is the habitat of Sun Wukong aka the Monkey King 👑

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

Taking the whole family to spend the New Year in a foreign place - Huangguoshu Waterfall and Jianglu Homestay
If you want to travel during the New Year's holiday, you can come here!
Attraction recommendation: Huangguoshu Waterfall
Located in Anshun City, Guizhou Province, China, it is the largest waterfall group in China and one of the largest waterfalls in the world. The natural scenery here is beautiful, and the waterfall is spectacular.
✈️🚄🚌Transportation
1. You can take a plane or high-speed train to Guiyang, and then take a bus or taxi.
2. If you choose to drive by yourself, you can easily find your destination through navigation equipment.
🏨Recommended homestay nearby: Huangguoshu Jianglu·Cunxiao
A 10-minute drive from the scenic area, there is the most expensive but worth visiting village homestay in Huangguoshu.
The homestay is located in a Buyi village in Huangguoshu Shitouzhai, with hundreds of years of living history.
The entire village is built of stone, stone walls, stone roads, stone tiles, and there are still slogans with a strong sense of the times on the walls.
Unexpectedly, this was a village that had been abandoned for 20 years, but in the hands of the designer, it became a "waste is not beauty, but waste can be turned into beauty" revival homestay village.
It was also selected as the annual hotel design award by Shanghai Bund Media.
✅Public area
After listening to the introduction of the shopkeeper, this courtyard almost restored the village 20 years ago. Although it has been upgraded and transformed, it has not destroyed the original appearance of the village, and only integrated modern decoration and facilities inside.
✅The former basketball court has become a bonfire square that young people like very much.
✅The swimming pool here is also transformed from the previous pigsty.
✅There is also a sunken tea room, which was actually the kitchen before. The shopkeeper also took us to see the traces of smoke here before. You can have a leisurely tea with your parents and chat with them, after all, the time to chat with them is limited.
In the Zen room, the child accompanies the grandfather to write quietly, and suddenly feels very satisfied with the life of having old people and children.
You can also take your children to the wax dyeing workshop to experience the wax dyeing craftsmanship with the non-heritage inheritors of the Buyi wax dyeing.
✅Three meals a day
There is a rich breakfast and a local dinner
✅Room
The room types are named after the generations in the village. There are 36 guest rooms, and the rooms are all single buildings, so the area is quite large.
Here, you can stroll in the ancient village, listen to the hundred-year-old Buyi ballads; or sit in the country coffee bar, taste a cup of fragrant coffee, and enjoy the beautiful mountain and water scenery in the distance.
From February 7th to 24th, Anshun will also have lantern fairs, temple fairs, exhibitions, concerts, fireworks shows, etc., and you can also have the most lively year in a foreign land.
Wherever my parents are, home is there.

Mountain View Boutique Hotel Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
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

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

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.

Lying flat in Guizhou, I shot a 'Xinjiang blockbuster' in Anshun
Who would understand? I can't bear to leave this place.
Tianyin Mountain really did not disappoint me
There are green lawns, streams, mountain peaks, and caves
Walking further in, you will see herds of cattle, sheep, and horses at ease
-
📍Address: Anshun Tianyin Mountain - No entrance fee, sanitation fee 5💴
You can come camping or hiking with friends, and it's also a great place to idle away time. It's just over an hour's drive from the city center to this healing grassland. In the morning, you can stroll through the bustling market in the city, and in the afternoon, you can explore nature in these free mountains and fields.

⛰Some travel tips
◽About hiking: The hike is of medium difficulty, wear comfortable shoes, the route is about 12KM. It is not recommended to walk alone if you are not clear about the route, you can follow a group or make plans with friends.
🏕About camping: There are tents and canopies for rent here, the prices vary depending on the type you need (you need to book in advance on weekends when it's busy), camping overnight is 48💴 if you bring your own equipment.
🚘Transportation and accommodation: Self-driving is recommended, you need to reserve on weekends as it gets busy and you can only drive in if you have a reservation, cars can be parked for free on the roadside outside the barrier, it's about a ten-minute walk in.

The sun-protective clothing I'm wearing from Gobi's is lightweight and comfortable, breathable, and not stuffy, keeping me dry and comfortable all day long.

Tianyin Mountain in Anshun: A verdant fairyland in spring, a tranquil retreat from the summer heat
Even if you may not have heard of Anshun, the renown of Huangguoshu Waterfall surely resonates like thunder in your ears. Yet, this small city hidden in Guizhou is a true treasure trove! Beyond the spectacular Huangguoshu Waterfall, Tianyin Mountain is an obscure but enchanting attraction. Close to the Longgong scenic area, you can drive directly to the valley's parking lot. Thanks to the ingenious design of a homestay owner, a concrete plank path winds down, and with just a 3-minute walk, you can step onto the lush green lawn. Upon arrival, you might mistake this place for a landscape painting of Guilin, but when the nearby villagers start to graze, and cows, sheep, and horses leisurely feed on the hillside, the unique scenery seems to transport you to the distant Xinjiang. When the weather is clear, every corner is a beautiful painting, waiting for you to capture and appreciate. Now that spring is warm and all things revive, the grass is like a carpet, making it the best time for taking photos. Why not set foot on this magical land and experience the unique charm of Anshun!
Address: Tianyin Mountain, Anshun
This meadow is like a natural green carpet, inviting travelers to camp and get up close with nature. However, if you want to fully enjoy its tranquility and beauty, spring seems to be the most appropriate time. The heat of summer and the rising river levels make the land muddy and the valley extremely hot and stuffy, lacking ventilation. But rest assured, this mysterious place has been well developed, with complete facilities to satisfy your adventurous spirit while ensuring your safety and comfort.
Here, the verdant grassland and the sparkling river complement each other, forming a moving picture. The caves are like the mysterious eyes of the earth, harboring endless secrets and beauty. And the leisurely strolling cattle and sheep add a touch of liveliness and vitality to this scene.
The hiking journey on Tianyin Mountain is a challenge to courage and perseverance. You can choose to traverse the loop, experiencing hiking trails of different difficulty levels. As for detailed route information, just ask me gently, and I will share everything I know.
On this magical land, the tranquility of the valley, the freshness of the meadow, the mystery of the caves, the agility of the river, and the grandeur of the karst landscape together compose intoxicating scenic paintings. Here, you can freely release your passion and desire to explore, composing a wonderful symphony with nature.

Everyone says it looks like Xinjiang, but actually, it's a trip to Guizhou
You might not know about Anshun, but you definitely know about the Huangguoshu Waterfall. In fact, this small city in Guizhou, Anshun, is really a treasure!
It's not just the Huangguoshu Waterfall, Tianyin Mountain here is both niche and a treasure! Tianyin Mountain, close to the Longgong scenic area, can be directly reached by car to the valley parking lot P, because the homestay owner has built a cement plank road, and it's only a 3-minute walk from getting off the car to reach the big lawn.
You might think you're in Guilin, but when the nearby villagers start grazing, herds of cattle, sheep, and horses appear, as if you've gone to Xinjiang.
When the weather is good, every casual snapshot is a masterpiece.
Spring has arrived, everything is reviving, and the grasslands are turning green, so hurry up and go take photos!

Tianyin Mountain—Guizhou's Little Xinjiang, a paradise worth visiting often!
'Tianyin Mountain Agricultural Tourism Ecological Park' has very clear parking signs. After seeing them, turn left and follow the road, and you'll reach the parking lot in one minute. From the parking lot, go down through the main entrance to get directly to the grassland. Camping overnight costs 48, and just parking costs 20.
General route:
You can camp directly on this grassland, which is being developed by some people, with mature facilities. There is grass, a river, a small cave, and many cattle and sheep.
This is also the starting point of the Tianyin Mountain hiking loop, with a moderate level of difficulty.
Scenic features:
Grassland, caves, rivers, karst topography
Highlight, you can see rapeseed flowers recently!
Worth mentioning is that there is a meadow wetland in the middle of the route, which is simply a paradise; you will also pass a 'strange rock meteorite pit', similar to the Tonggu Dang in Anshun.
Route length:
About 12km

Water Curtain Cave Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Guizhou Second Stop | Huangguoshu Waterfall
| Huangguoshu Waterfall. In the morning, I took the high-speed train from Guiyang North at 7:33, and arrived at Anshun West at 8:02
After exiting Anshun West, follow the signs for Huangguoshu to the transfer station (about 5-8 minutes), buy a ticket at the service desk and take the bus (22 yuan/person), which takes about 30-40 minutes. After getting off the bus, walk to the entrance of the scenic area (3-5 minutes)
Scenic Area Ticket: Guangdong residents are still free, sightseeing car 50 yuan/person, other tickets can be temporarily not bought, they are available inside.
There are three attractions in total: Huangguoshu Great Waterfall - Tianxing Bridge - Steep Slope Pond
(Note that the sightseeing cars inside are one-way, with Steep Slope Pond being the closest, the Great Waterfall the farthest, and Tianxing Bridge in the middle. I went to the Great Waterfall first, so to go to Tianxing Bridge for the second stop, I had to go back to Steep Slope Pond first)
First Stop: Huangguoshu Great Waterfall
After the sightseeing car arrived at the Great Waterfall, we didn't take the escalator down, but walked down the stairs directly. Along the way, you can see the waterfall from a distance, and it's not tiring at all except for the strain on the knees. Along the way, you will see viewing platforms one after another, and finally go to the Water Curtain Cave (you can bring a raincoat in advance). After passing through the Water Curtain Cave, take the escalator to the starting point of the sightseeing car (escalator 30/person, round trip seems to be 50/person). Although it's only a 2-3 minute ride, I really didn't want to walk any extra.
Second Stop: Tianxing Bridge
I did some research and heard that the upper half of Tianxing Bridge is quite boring, so I only went to the lower half. After arriving by the sightseeing car, don't swipe your ID card to enter!! Walk to the left and go up the stairs!! It's right above the ticket checkpoint!! Keep walking straight (you will see many people walking in the opposite direction along the way, because if you only walk the lower half, the way in and out will overlap a bit). Along the way, you will see the Ponytail Waterfall - fruit-selling aunties - McDonald's KFC, and then you officially start walking the lower half. After reaching the Tianxing Bridge attraction, you can take the cable car back according to the signs for 10 yuan/person. After taking the cable car, a sightseeing car will take you to Gaolaozhuang, near where the fruit-selling aunties are, and you start walking the repetitive part of the way in. Finally, take the bus back to the entrance of the scenic area at Tianxing Bridge Station, because I didn't go to Steep Slope Pond.
After returning to the entrance of the scenic area, also take the bus to Anshun West Station, the same 22 yuan/person, 30-40 minutes.
Time: I walked a bit faster, arriving at Anshun West Station at 8:10 in the morning, and was back inside Anshun West Station at 15:25 in the afternoon. Remember to reserve 40 minutes for the bus ride from the scenic area to the high-speed rail station. The bus normally runs every 30-40 minutes, but sometimes it will depart early when full, so it's best to reserve more time, otherwise, you might miss the high-speed train.
Overall: I feel that going to the Great Waterfall for the first stop is better, avoiding the crowd, and going to take beautiful photos first. If you go to Tianxing Bridge first, you'll probably be completely exhausted afterwards. Recently it's the dry season so there aren't too many people, avoiding the crowd for a better experience!
BOBBY JACOBS
Guizhou Tourism | About the Tour Routes of Huangguoshu Waterfall
📝Huangguoshu Waterfall is mainly divided into three areas: Huangguoshu Great Waterfall, Tianxing Bridge, and Doupotang
1⃣️Huangguoshu Waterfall 2h
The walking route here is a circular one around the Great Waterfall, allowing for a comprehensive view of the waterfall scenery. If lucky, you might even see a rainbow🌈. The Water Curtain Cave you pass through in the middle is quite interesting. If you want to see it, be sure to walk down and don't take the escalator‼️
2⃣️Tianxing Bridge 3h
This is the most leg-exhausting attraction🙋🏻♀️. The Tianxing Cave and the Yinchuan Waterfall are both in the latter half. It's recommended to skip the first half of Gao Laozhuang and directly walk the latter half to save a lot of energy and time🥳
3⃣️Doupotang 1h
Short in duration and friendly🐒, it's the filming location for Journey to the West. If you're short on time, you can skip it👋🏻

Scenic area tickets: Tickets + round-trip escalator tickets have been purchased in advance. After arriving at the ticket center (I have to say that this ticket center is too old), you can directly swipe your ID card to take the scenic bus.
Tour route: Big Waterfall Tianxing Bridge Steep Slope
Because my plan is to finish in one day, so I took an earlier high-speed train to depart, but when I arrived at the big waterfall escalator, it was already 10 o'clock. Fortunately, it was not a holiday, so there were not too many people.
◆Big Waterfall: The overall tour time is 1.5 hours. Taking the escalator up and down can save a lot of time and conserve physical strength. The water curtain cave area is close to the waterfall and the water mist is very large. It is recommended to wear a raincoat. There are cheap ones for sale at the entrance of the scenic area and inside.
! Be careful of the rocks above your head when entering the water curtain cave. It is best to wear a hat to prevent bumps! !◆Tianxing Bridge: The overall tour time is 4 hours. I originally wanted to only walk the second half of the route as mentioned in the guide, but I couldn't find the way. There were no signs along the way, and the people I asked didn't know. After going the wrong way for half an hour, I decided to return and start from the first half. The people who walked this way doubted life, because there were no beautiful scenery on the road, let alone people. There were stairs up and down all the way, which was simply frustrating. Don't go to the first half if you are in a hurry! !
The Silver Chain Waterfall is indeed very beautiful and special, but the plank roads around the waterfall are particularly narrow, and it may be difficult to take pictures on holidays.
After watching the Silver Chain Waterfall, we took the cable car (10 yuan/person). The cable car journey is very short. After getting off, you still need to walk for 20 minutes to reach the sightseeing car transfer point. After getting on the sightseeing car, we were forcibly taken to the commercial street. After walking through the long commercial street, we arrived at the scenic bus transfer point and took the bus to the next scenic spot.
Steep Slope Pond: The overall tour time is 1 hour. The best place to walk is the Steep Slope Pond Scenic Area. The entire scenic area is not large, the roads are very flat, there are not many stairs. Seeing other people's guides often choose to give up coming here, but it's actually worth seeing. The waterfall is very wide, and you can see a white piece like silk from a distance, shining under the sun.
When leaving the scenic area by bus, the bus will take the tourists to another commercial street. After going out, you need to take the scenic bus out of the scenic area again.
The overall planning of the scenic area is detours, countless commercial streets, leg-wasting. It is a one-time tourist attraction, and you will basically not come again after you have been here.
The only commendable thing is that the face recognition system in the scenic area is very sensitive. You only need to swipe your ID card once when you enter the park, and then you only need to swipe your face.
