How to enjoy a peaceful morning at Huangguoshu Waterfall?

To fully experience the tranquil beauty of Huangguoshu Waterfall in the early morning, staying inside the scenic area is a must. By staying at the Qianshouju Hotel, located within the scenic area, you can enter the waterfall zone as soon as it opens at 7 AM. At this time, apart from staff, there are no other visitors around. You can leisurely stroll to the waterfall, bask in the morning sunlight filtering through the forest, admire the awakening waterfall, and explore the serene Water Curtain Cave without any crowds—truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Qianshouju Hotel is the top choice for accommodation. The entrance to the scenic area is conveniently located within the hotel premises. Before breakfast, you can directly access the waterfall zone (via facial recognition or paper tickets). It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to complete the full tour of the waterfall. By the time other tourists arrive at the entrance via the scenic area shuttle, you’ll have already enjoyed the morning views and be ready to return to the hotel for breakfast. 📍 Address: Inside Huangguoshu Scenic Area 📍 Phone: +86-851-33595888 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: The hotel is highly professional. We booked a twin room and called ahead to inquire about garden-view, scenic-view, and waterfall-view rooms. The front desk staff provided recommendations based on our needs without pushing us to book the more expensive options. In addition to the hotel’s fast-track access to the waterfall zone, other facilities are well-maintained. We also enjoyed the on-site restaurant, which offers both Guizhou cuisine and lighter dishes suitable for children. 💰 Average Cost: During peak season, the hotel can be quite expensive and hard to book, so early reservations are recommended. We visited in June, and the prices were reasonable and worth every penny. 🗓️ Itinerary: The shuttle bus stop for the scenic area is just a few hundred meters from the hotel. On the first day, we visited Qixing Bridge. On the second morning, we explored the waterfall and returned to the hotel for breakfast and rest before heading to Doupotang. On the third morning, we revisited the waterfall to experience its endless charm.
