✅Route Recommendations DAY 1 Guiyang - Anshun (Huangguoshu Waterfall) Take the high-speed train from Guiyang North to Anshun West. There are three scenic spots (visiting order + time: Huangguoshu Waterfall + Water Curtain Cave (2 hrs) 🔜 Doupotang Waterfall (1 hr) 🔜 Tianxingqiao Scenic Area (3 hrs)). ▪Huangguoshu Waterfall and Water Curtain Cave (these two spots are together). You must buy a raincoat or waterproof gear for the Water Curtain Cave. After visiting Huangguoshu Waterfall, go to Doupotang Waterfall. Doupotang is an easy walk and is a filming location for *Journey to the West*. Importantly, you don't need to spend over CNY 1,000 to enjoy afternoon tea at Banyan Tree Resort. Follow this route, and you can see Huangguoshu Waterfall in 15–20 minutes. 1. Exit the Huangguoshu Waterfall Tourist Service Center and turn right. 2. Walk straight ahead, pass a police station, and continue forward. 3. You will pass Waterfall Village, Qianshou Inn, and Banyan Tree Resort. 4.

Continue walking, turn right after seeing the bridge, and you will reach Doupotang Waterfall, about another 1.7 km. Many people visit Doupotang Waterfall first and then take this route to see Huangguoshu Waterfall, which is also an option. Sightseeing bus. Tianxingqiao Scenic Area is very large, but the main attractions, Tianxing Cave + Silver Chain Waterfall, are in the latter half. Here's a shortcut: go directly to the latter half, which will save you at least 1 hour. The latter half can be covered in 1.5 hours. Don't enter the Tianxingqiao ticket gate. Turn around and go up to the second floor. Walk against the flow of people, and after passing Gaolaozhuang Village, you will reach the latter half of Tianxingqiao.

You can take the high-speed train to Huangguoshu Waterfall, Small Seven-Holes, and Miao Village, which is convenient for those who are not driving. It is recommended to stay in Guiyang, as it is a transportation hub, and high-speed trains to scenic spots basically depart from Guiyang.

Just follow the instructions when you come to Guizhou! You will be pleasantly surprised when you live there. This spot is a treasure spot that many people who come to Guizhou think is more worthwhile than "Huang Xiaoxi"! The first choice is "Feng Xi Mu Yun" Yuhuangding, which is above the clouds and overlooks the entire Wanfeng Lake. If you are lucky, you can also see the very spectacular sunrise sea of ​​clouds! Secondly, "Xinyuanwenfeng, Lantingruoxian, Rongsu Resort, Sengushanju" If you are taking your kids out, "Xingyi Mushroom Wild Luxury Hotel" is definitely the top of the list! But many friends can't book it. If you are lucky enough to get it, I have a room. This is a topic that cannot be avoided when visiting Guizhou. Summer vacation is crowded with people, so crowded that you want to go home (●.●), but... The first choice is "Huangguoshu Yuanjian B&B, Yaojia Waterfall Village, Huangguoshu Mountain Moon Collection" These can greatly reduce the damage (><) and easily avoid the crowds! Secondly, "Jianglu Yueshan, Yuanfu Xiadu, Yaojia Fanshe" is also a good choice. You can lie down in the B&B to enjoy the scenery and take great pictures easily. The emeralds on earth are not in vain, they are as beautiful as a holy place for cultivating immortals. Since the opening of the high-speed rail, it has also become a place where everyone is scrambling to check in. The first choice is "Libo Xingshantang B&B, Mulanfang B&B". Both of them use limited conditions to create the most visually appealing B&Bs, each with its own merits. Secondly, "Libo Landscape Resort Hotel (including scenic spot tickets), Yuyin Wild Luxury Resort Village, Yaochi B&B" are also good choices Although Spirited Away's dreamland has been criticized for its strong commercial atmosphere, it does not affect Guizhou's ranking among the top three in terms of the number of tourists each year. The first choice is "Sanchunli Meng, Village Shangshangfang, Qifengxin Xuyan". These three are ideal locations for viewing and taking photos. They are just a little expensive, so I can only give you -1.2 Secondly, "Tianhe Yixin, Qiujianli, Xingzhe Shangju, Xunmei Banshan" are all the best choices for cost-effectiveness
