Guizhou Scenery

🌿 Xingyi, Guizhou|Complete Guide to Hiking the Malin River Canyon Waterfalls! Personally Tested and So Stunning It Made My Legs Weak‼️ 💦 The canyon steals the spotlight! Hundreds of millions of years of water flow are not in vain!! The pinnacle of Guizhou’s natural scenery lives up to its reputation! Standing beneath the waterfall, you are surrounded 360 degrees by mist, and every casual photo looks like a National Geographic cover~ 📍 Address: National Highway 324, Xingyi City, Qianxinan Prefecture 🚶‍♀️ Hiking Route: 1️⃣ Dachaiwo Entrance → Tiānshēng Bridge Start strong! The thundering waterfall with a drop of over 200 meters crashes right in front of you. It’s recommended to wear non-slip shoes and bring a waterproof phone pouch, the mist is so heavy it feels like taking a shower 😂 2️⃣ Broken Bridge → Sea Lion Hall At the narrowest part of the canyon, looking up at the cliffs on both sides will make your legs weak! There are also ancient marine fossils on the rocks!! 3️⃣ Rainbow Waterfall → Pearl Waterfall Between 2-3 PM when the sun shines directly, you can see a double rainbow! The Pearl Waterfall looks like strings of crystal curtains, perfect for portrait shots from the viewing platform 📸 Best Photo Spots: ✔️ Rainbow Waterfall Viewing Platform (wide-angle for panoramic shots) ✔️ Corner stone steps at Broken Bridge (low-angle shots are super impressive) ✔️ Boardwalk near Sea Lion Hall (safest spot for waterfall selfies) ⚠️ Important Tips: - Remember to wear quick-dry clothes!! The waterfall mist soaks you in 5 seconds - Bring trekking poles! Some steps are nearly 70 degrees steep - Drones must be registered in advance (GPS signal is weak in the canyon) - You can return via the Xiaoqingshan exit 🌈 Guizhou’s landscapes are always full of wild beauty, and Malin River Canyon takes this grandeur to the extreme! Standing between heaven and earth, feeling the roar of the waterfall, you suddenly understand the awe of “a mayfly’s brief existence in the vast universe”...
