Things to do in Tianlin

Finally visited Detian Transnational Waterfall! Seeing it in person was far more breathtaking than any photos or videos! As Asia's first transnational waterfall, it's separated from Vietnam's Ban Gioc Waterfall by just one river. Standing on the viewing platform with both waterfalls side-by-side, the unique border atmosphere was truly special. I highly recommend taking a bamboo raft on the border river. Driving to the foot of the falls, the spray is refreshing and soothing; if you're lucky, you might even see a rainbow – a truly unique experience! Walking up the path, each viewing platform offers a different perspective. Visit the 836 border marker to experience the border atmosphere. The scenic area has many steps, making it inconvenient for strollers; those with elderly people or young children should proceed with caution.

Huangguoshu Waterfall, Doupotang Waterfall, and Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall are all beautiful. We set off from Guiyang to Zhenning at around 6 a.m. The entire scenic area is divided into three parts, and we explored the whole area on foot in less than 6 hours! We also visited the Water Curtain Cave! The most beautiful part of Huangguoshu is the section with the Water Curtain Cave! If you don't go to the Water Curtain Cave, your trip is incomplete!

The scenery and environment are superb, with flowers blooming in each season, making it beautiful all year round. It would be great if there were a sightseeing bus package ticket, allowing people to choose freely. The main problem is that you have to scan a QR code to pay every time you get on the bus, which affects the experience. Even though the fare is not expensive, scanning so many times makes it feel like you're paying a huge sum.

The karst landscape of Haokun Lake is quite different from other places. The peaks here are more majestic and unique, some even possessing a kind of "imperfect" beauty. The lake water blends perfectly with them, creating a landscape where the scenery is in the water and the water is in the scenery, resulting in a unique charm.

The service staff were very friendly, as were the Yunnan Tourism Bureau and the staff at the Yunnan Ethnic Village. They even provided companionship for an 80-year-old, and at the Stone Forest, my 85-year-old mother didn't need to pay for the shuttle bus. Thank you to the Yunnan Tourism Bureau!

Libo Xiaoqikong, affectionately known as "Little Seventeen," is located at the border of Guizhou and Guangxi provinces. It is a World Natural Heritage site and a national 5A scenic area. It gets its name from the seven-arched ancient bridge that spanned the Xiangshui River during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, connecting the two provinces. Hidden within its secluded valleys are crystal-clear waters, dotted with Wolongtan (Sleeping Dragon Pool), a water forest, and a 68-tiered waterfall, earning it the reputation of "the emerald on the Earth's belt." The karst landscape is breathtakingly beautiful, with clear, sparkling waters.

A day trip from Guiyang is easy; the ascent is moderate and not tiring, and there are no queues during off-peak season. The Grand Canyon boat tour is excellent for taking photos. The downside is that there are no direct buses from Qianxi. If you stop at the high-speed rail station, the shuttle bus to the scenic area is full, and you have to wait an hour to share a ride. Returning to the high-speed rail station, you have to wait for over an hour to get a taxi. I strongly recommend taking a bus from Guiyang to and from the scenic area.

Hidden in Mile is a small manor town, a pleasant place to stroll around. There are various flowers, such as lavender, as well as red brick buildings with different designs, and a large lake. There are restaurants, guesthouses, and villas.

Inspired by the legends of the ancient Yelang Kingdom in southwestern China during the Qin and Han dynasties, the Doupeng Mountain area is said to have belonged to the ancient Yelang region, serving as the central theme of the entire creation and expressing the mysterious and primitive atmosphere of the ancient Yelang Kingdom.

The tour guide was fantastic, the price was incredibly reasonable, and the scenery was among the best in China. The Fengxi Café was also very unique. Riding an electric scooter through the mountain peaks was breathtaking.
