Absolutely amazing! Followed National Geographic to see the divine light in the secret realm

If you think Guizhou is too crowded during peak season and give up on Huangguoshu, then you must not miss Getu River in Anshun, Guizhou. This niche scenic spot recommended by National Geographic features rich karst landscapes such as caves, canyons, peak forests, underground rivers, and sinkholes: ✅ Home to the world's unique Grand Cave ✅ Ancient intangible cultural heritage hanging coffins ✅ The only remaining Spider-men in the country who climb cliffs bare-handed ✅ The deepest vertical shaft in China - Tongtian Cave ✅ The highest river channel site in the world - Blind Valley ... In addition to the magnificent scenery, you can also witness the awe-inspiring divine light passing through the cave, and the best part is, no queues! Truly worth the trip! --- 👇 Main attractions: 1⃣ Swallow Cave There are two caves on the steep rock wall, the upper one is Chuan Cave, and the lower one is Swallow Cave. The entrance is a naturally formed large arch. In the first half of the year, you can see the divine light passing through the cave. The morning light passes through the cave and falls on the river, with thousands of swallows circling and chirping, as if the heavens are healing the creatures, truly breathtaking! 2⃣ Wangtian Cave Also known as Tongtian Cave, it is a huge vertical shaft that penetrates the rock ground, like a skylight. Climbing along the cliff-built Tongtian plank road, sunlight pours in, intertwining with dust, lava, and water, creating a magnificent and fantastical scene. 3⃣ Spider-men: The only remaining 6 Spider-men in the country, inheriting the Miao people's ancient skills, climbing the nearly vertical cliffs bare-handed, truly admirable! 4⃣ Chuan Cave The huge cave entrance can accommodate an airplane passing through. Walking to the entrance and looking out, the peak forest and green waves are included in the cave, beautiful and majestic. In the second half of the year, you might see the rare divine light. 5⃣ Blessing Cave The resting place of the hanging coffins of the Yalu King family more than two thousand years ago. The Miao people do not believe in Buddhism, only in their ancestors. 6⃣ Echo Cave The well-shaped sinkhole below creates a natural singing room, and people can't help but shout when they return to the mountains. 7⃣ Boat Tour Take a boat through the Getu River, with peak forests on both sides. You can also see the intangible cultural heritage hanging coffins along the way. The boat ticket includes a Miao village performance. After landing, watch a show of climbing the knife mountain and descending into the sea of fire, then drink some Miao wine. --- 👇 Ways to play: ①. Outdoor deep tour, mainly hiking without retracing steps: Swallow Cave - Tongtian plank road - mountain stone steps - dock - take a boat to Miao village to watch the performance - return by boat - sightseeing car out of the scenic area ②. Sightseeing and leisure tour, mainly by boat, only viewing the caves from a distance: View the caves from a distance without entering - take a boat from the dock to Miao village to watch the performance - return by boat - sightseeing car out of the scenic area --- 👇 Ticket buying guide: Ticket: 50 yuan/person (free for special groups this year) Full ticket: 150 yuan/person (including ticket, sightseeing car, boat, Spider-men performance) You can choose any combination of ticket types at the window, no mandatory purchase 📝Tips: ➡️ The best time to see the divine light is 8:00-10:30, in good weather ➡️ There is a risk of falling 💩 in Swallow Cave, you can wear a hat/use an umbrella ➡️ The hiking route takes about 2 hours, prepare for sun protection ➡️ It is recommended to stay in Ziyun County, and the recommended restaurant is "Wu Ji Firewood Beef Restaurant" ➡️ About 2 hours drive from Guiyang/Anshun
