Huangguoshu Waterfall Off-Peak Travel Guide | Tested to Avoid Crowds

📍 Core Strategy: Early Entry + Reverse Route 🚅 Transportation (from Guiyang) → Express Version 07:00 Take high-speed train from Guiyang North Station → Arrive at Anshun West Station at 07:30 (¥46) 08:00 Transfer to scenic area shuttle → Arrive at waterfall entrance at 08:30 → Budget Version Take a bus from Guiyang Old Bus Station → Huangguoshu Ticket Center (¥60/2h | First bus at 7:20) → Self-Drive Version Drive directly to hotels near the scenic area entrance, 🆓 parking Can split the trip over 2 days! Tickets valid for 10 days, shuttle tickets valid for 3 days! Stay at Yitel (with underground parking) when returning to Guiyang the next day. --- 📜 Off-Peak Route (Tested: 30% Fewer Crowds) ⏰ 8:30-16:30 Complete the entire route 🔹 First Stop: Grand Waterfall (8:30-10:00) ✔️ Head straight to Water Curtain Cave! Rainbows frequently appear in morning mist 🌈 ✔️ Only buy downhill escalator ticket (saves energy + easier climb) ✔️ For full views, go to Waterfall Viewing Platform❗️ Avoid frontal crowds 🔹 Second Stop: Doupotang (10:30-11:30) ✔️ Walk along the opposite riverbank trail | Exclusive photo spot from "Journey to the West" filming location ✔️ Capture side-lit "Bridal Veil" waterfall | Best light after 10 AM 🔹 Third Stop: Tianxing Bridge (12:00-16:00) ✔️ Shout "Go to the second half!" at the entrance to take shortcut to Silver Chain Waterfall ✔️ Highlights: Bridge-on-Bridge → Maoshui Pool → Star Gorge Flying Waterfall ✔️ Take ¥10 cable car downhill | Saves 20 minutes --- 🏨 Accommodation ▷ After walking 30,000 steps, return to Guiyang and stay at a downtown chain hotel. We stayed at Yitel Hongtongcheng Branch. → 🆓 Laundry: Wash and dry sweaty clothes in 1 hour → Convenient transport: 5min to train station, 15min to high-speed rail station, stress-free for catching first shuttle → Nordic-style bedding: Soundproof windows block highway noise for clean, cozy sleep 💤 --- 🍜 Energy Replenishment Guide 🔥 Must-eat outside scenic area: ・"Si Wa Wa" (local wraps): Many vendors right outside the scenic area! Freshly made, similar to Vietnamese spring rolls ・"Loquats": ¥10 for 3 jin fresh-picked! Don’t pay more 💡 Avoid scams: Some sell greasy grapes using jaboticaba photos! Don’t fall for it… Don’t ask how I know 😭 --- 💡 Pro Tips: 1️⃣ Tickets: → Book 1 day in advance on "One Code for Guizhou"! On-site queues take 1+ hour → Must buy ticket + shuttle pass (scenic area spans 20km) → Free tickets for special groups: Teachers, military, medical staff, etc. 2️⃣ Gear: → Non-slip sandals (can wade at Silver Chain Waterfall) → Light raincoat (Water Curtain Cave spray is stronger than a shower) 3️⃣ Off-peak: Enter at 8 AM > Afternoon entry! Tour groups arrive at 10 AM
