The Milky Way in the mountains, a place rated as one of the most beautiful waterfalls by National Geographic

Xianghuoyan Waterfall was a pleasant surprise for me in Guizhou. Although this niche attraction is not well-known, it has the potential to surpass all the famous attractions. Xianghuoyan Waterfall is located in Kaiyang, Guizhou, an hour's drive from Guiyang City and half an hour's drive from Kaiyang County. When I went there, it was the last day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. I saw on the Internet that the attraction was open, but when I got there I found the iron gate was locked. After some inquiries, we learned that the recent rains had damaged the road section in the scenic area, and it has not yet been opened to the public after repairs. But the restaurant owner outside the tourist attraction has the key, and you can ask him to open the door for you to come in and visit. There were supervisors on duty at the time, and after waiting for about two hours, we finally entered the scenic area at noon. The hike is not long, about a few hundred meters and about ten minutes. Halfway through the walk, I heard a deafening sound of water, and soon, a silver waterfall appeared before my eyes. As the water mouth is blocked by rocks and aquatic plants, the waterfall is divided into two streams, which rush down from a cliff about 30 meters high, and soon merge into one waterfall, rushing towards Shenshan. There is a bridge in front of the waterfall. Standing on the bridge, the mist hits your face, and the sunlight passes through the mist and turns into a colorful rainbow. There are five levels of stairs hidden behind the waterfall, where you can climb up and watch the water curtain falling in front of you. [Practical Information] 1. If the scenic area is not open, you can ask the restaurant owner at the parking lot to open the door for a fee of 30 yuan. 2. The bridge in front of the waterfall is the best shooting location. Stand on the bridge and use a telephoto lens to shoot from a distance. 3. There is a lot of water on the stairs behind the waterfall, so bring a raincoat and waterproof your camera.
