I won't allow you to come to Guiyang and miss the 'Jesus Light' and 'Glass Water' here
⛰️: Balagou Scenic Area (Wudang District) Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours
🚗: 35 kilometers from the city center, about 40 minutes by car🕒
💰: Free admission
🅿️: Parking lot available, flat fee of 15 yuan with no time limit
This is a scenic spot that was abandoned halfway through development, but being abandoned doesn't affect the enjoyment of the visit. While hiking, you may encounter mountain forests and waterfalls at any time, with greenery filling your view. The plank walkway weaves through the mountain streams, and the rocks on the stone walls are still dripping water... Instantly, you're in a natural oxygen bar! It's also very cool inside the area, making it a perfect summer retreat!
We entered the scenic area next to the parking lot, where there's a convenience store, public toilets, and a farmhouse restaurant where you can have a meal or barbecue🍡for 68 yuan per person. After that, there are no more shops inside, so be sure to prepare snacks, tissues, and drinking water before you set off～
It takes about two hours to walk and take photos. I arrived at 5:30 pm and didn't go too deep into the area. Not long after starting the walk, I saw the stunning 'Dali Garden Effect' inside the cave, haha! It's a feeling of being healed by nature～
🏃🏻♀️Plan your time well before you set out, otherwise the return trip will be difficult due to the dim light inside the cave. For amateur hikers like us, this distance is quite enough💪🏻! Avoid going on rainy days as the ground can be very slippery.
It's recommended to bring mosquito repellent, a light jacket, and wear sandals to wade in the water. It's also suitable for children (though not recommended for very small ones). Be sure to wear comfortable, non-slip shoes and bring some snacks to replenish energy when you get tired!
Lastly, be sure to protect the environment and take your trash with you‼️

Guiyang Surrounding Tourism Recommendation
Balagou is a deserted niche attraction located within the territory of Yanshan Village, Xiaba Town, Wudang District of Guiyang City. As it is no longer commercialized, it has largely retained its most primitive state. The area features continuous mountains, clear streams in ravines, lush bamboo forests, as well as unique natural landscapes such as the bamboo sea in the secluded valley, the 'One Line Sky' canyon, and the giant stone cat. Here is a travel recommendation guide for the Balagou Scenic Area:
• Location: Balagou Scenic Area (Wudang District, Guiyang City);
• Tickets: A cleaning fee of 5 yuan per person and a parking fee of 15 yuan;
• Play Time: It took nearly 3 hours to walk and stop along the way, 1 hour away from the center of Guiyang City, suitable for people who only have half a day to play;
• Tour Route: There is only one main road in the scenic area. Visitors can walk along the stream all the way, with a one-way walk of nearly 2 hours, suitable for short-distance hiking. You can also bring dogs for a walk along the way;
• Precautions:
• The stone road is quite slippery, if there are elderly and children, be careful, try to change to non-slip shoes;
• The scenic area is currently unmanaged, and the road conditions are not very good. The plank roads along the way are very narrow, and the gaps in the railings of the plank roads are also very large, so visitors should pay attention to safety;
• It is recommended to go when the weather is clear, and pay attention to wearing non-slip shoes due to the wet and slippery conditions in the valley.
