[2025 Zhenning Hotels] Travel Guide for Grand New Century Resort Hotel Anshun Huangguoshu (Updated Jul)

Coming to Guizhou during the rainy season, we were initially worried, but our luck was amazing—wherever we went, the rain stopped, and the weather was delightfully cool. Ctrip Car Rental even gave us the car a day early for free. This trip was destined to be perfect. Day 1️⃣: Guiyang Arrived in Guiyang and visited **Qianling Mountain Park**—a five-star recommendation! This free local zoo is home to hilarious wild monkeys. Took a taxi to the South Gate, rode the cable car to the mountaintop, then hiked down to **Hongfu Temple**. After burning incense, we enjoyed a 10-yuan vegetarian meal. The pavilion at the temple exit was filled with playful monkeys—utterly adorable. Rowed a boat on Qianling Lake at the foot of the mountain—so relaxing. Day 2️⃣: Huangguoshu Waterfall Morning: 8:00 Guiyang → Huangguoshu Scenic Area (🚗 2-hour drive) Afternoon: 10:30 Had a simple lunch in the scenic area, then took the shuttle bus to explore the highlights: **Huangguoshu Grand Waterfall** → **Tianxing Bridge** (especially the Silver Chain Waterfall in the latter half) → **Doupotang**. Highly recommend buying the round-trip escalator ticket! Witnessed the seasonal waterfall in all its majestic glory—a unique sight. Recommended hotel: **Huangguoshu New Century Resort Hotel**, featuring a huge lawn perfect for drinks and meals. Day 3️⃣: Libo Small Seven Arches / Dragon Palace → Kaili → Qingyan Ancient Town Morning: 8:30 Huangguoshu → Dragon Palace (🚗 1-hour drive) Due to weather, many sites were closed, so we prioritized Small Seven Arches. Dragon Palace was a fantastic backup—super long underground boat cave exploration. Opted for the effortless round-trip route. 11:00 Dragon Palace → Kaili (🚗 3-hour drive) Tried Kaili’s sour soup beef hotpot and bought a cute little bag at the market. Also customized a 🦋 butterfly necklace. Afternoon: Kaili → Qingyan Ancient Town (🚗 1-hour drive) Explored Qingyan Ancient Town—larger than expected. Strolled leisurely for 2 hours—decent but not extraordinary. Day 4️⃣: Xijiang Thousand Households Miao Village Morning: 8:30 Qingyan → Thousand Households Miao Village (🚗 3-hour drive) Parked at the North Gate, took the sightseeing bus into the village. Bridges No. 3 and 4 were the most picturesque—great for photos and coffee. Near Bridge No. 1, enjoyed pastoral views. Window-seat coffee shots had great vibes. The grilled black pork was delicious. Day 5️⃣: Fanjingshan Morning: 8:30 Miao Village → Fanjingshan (🚗 3-hour drive) Took the sightseeing bus → cable car → walked the forest boardwalk (staff blocked the "shortcut" route online) → reached Mushroom Stone in 30 minutes → summited. Pro tip: Book your summit slot while on the cable car. Afternoon: Returned to Guiyang (🚗 4-hour drive) Day 6️⃣: Guiyang Planned to explore Shilong Cave, but it was closed due to rain. Switched to a city tour—saving the adventure for next time. Visited **Jiaxiu Tower** and **Qingyun Market**. Bought local specialties: crispy pork, spicy crisps, potato chips, and matcha milk tea. 🥒 Cucumber milk ice slurry—absolutely incredible 😋 Day 7️⃣: Departure Guizhou was delicious, fun, and stunning—five-star recommendation!

Pool and children’s facilities occasionally unavailable. Third-party bookings may not enjoy hotel privileges!

Huangguoshu Kaiyuan Mingdu Swimming Pool has deep and shallow areas where both adults and children can play, and the children had a lot of fun. The laundry room is really convenient, there is a dryer, and both the washing machine and dryer are empty. I originally planned to visit one attraction in the morning, return to the hotel to rest at noon, and then go to another attraction in the afternoon. As a result, I didn’t want to walk out of the scenic area and then walk back in. I decided to just tour and rest slowly in the scenic area. There is also a playground on the swimming pool floor, which has an ocean ball slide. It is relatively new but has a strong smell, so it is suitable for children to play.

When I first saw this newly opened hotel, Anshun Huangguoshu New Century Grand Resort Hotel, I immediately wanted to try it, and finally brought my family to experience it on a weekend. Since the hotel is newly built, the facilities and decoration are very new, and the stay is very comfortable. In order to add to the fun of the trip, we specially chose the private hot spring pool in the courtyard. 🌈Hotel address: Only 1-2 kilometers away from Huangguoshu Scenic Area, within walking distance 🌈Parent-child facilities: There are naughty castles, parent-child swimming pools, camping lawns, etc., which can meet the parent-child entertainment needs of different families 🌈Food: There are many varieties of breakfast and the taste is good. At the same time, you can also order beef noodles and simple meals at the small restaurant bar, which is affordable and is great for traveling with children. 🌈Recommendations for scenic spots: This time we chose to tour Huangguoshu at night, because we stayed in the hotel during the day, and it was also a good choice to experience the different scenery of Huangguoshu at night. After seeing the Huangguoshu Tree, the children couldn't help but recite the line: "The waterfall drops three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way falls from the sky", and suddenly felt that the trip was worth it.

Guizhou Anshun Huangguoshu Kaiyuan Mingdu Resort Hotel Infinity pool | Leisure tea room | Opening in 2024 | Free parking | Robot service | Gym 160 meters south of the intersection of Tianxing Road and Xu Xiake Road, near Huangguoshu Bus Station 3.6 kilometers away from Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area, about an 8-minute drive

Leaving the Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village in Guizhou, after a three and a half hour drive, I arrived at the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area. As the penultimate stop on my self-drive trip from Shanghai to Yunnan, and the last major attraction, I present this travel guide. Accommodation: There are hotels and homestays of different grades around the scenic area. I stayed at the Huangguoshu Kaiyuan Mingdu Resort Hotel through Ctrip, which is one kilometer away from the Huangguoshu Scenic Area. Newly opened in 2024, Ctrip's three-day, two-night presale package was just over 800 yuan, quite a bargain. This time, the hotel upgraded me to a balcony view room for free, which was very luxurious and comfortable. Dining: There are quite a few restaurants outside the scenic area, just a ten-minute walk from the hotel. I recommend Guizhou specialties such as sour soup fish, bamboo fungus chicken soup, and garlic wild vegetables, all reasonably priced. If you don't want to go out, the hotel offers takeout. It's still advisable to bring some dry food and water when entering the scenic area, as it will definitely be more expensive inside, and the choices and tastes are hard to describe. Tickets: The scenic area ticket includes three attractions for 160 yuan, plus a scenic shuttle bus between the attractions for 50 yuan, totaling 210 yuan. There is an elevator in the Great Waterfall area that costs 30 yuan one way, which you can choose to walk instead. If you have limited physical strength, you can opt for the elevator. The Tianxing Bridge area has a cable car for 10 yuan, which can save some walking distance. The ticket price is a bit expensive, and some tourists, like myself, only chose to visit the Great Waterfall area, which is not very cost-effective. Tour Route: First, let's talk about the average playing time for the three attractions. The Great Waterfall area takes about two hours, not counting the peak season, when just queuing for the Water Curtain Cave can take one or two hours; Tianxing Bridge takes 2-4 hours, divided into the upper and lower sections. Many tourists only choose to play in the upper section due to physical strength issues, which is about one or two hours to Gao Laozhuang and then return. However, I personally suggest either completing the whole journey or not going at all, as the core attractions of the entire scenic area, Tianxing Cave and Xingxia Waterfall, are in the lower section. Since there is no way back after passing Gao Laozhuang into the lower section, completing the whole journey takes nearly four hours and is a real test of physical strength. Steep Slope Pond takes about one hour, mainly featuring the filming location of 'Journey to the West' and a Steep Slope Pond waterfall. The attraction is not large and relatively average. Based on the above situations, many people choose to go to Tianxing Bridge first to tackle the more difficult part, then to the relatively easier Great Waterfall, and finally decide whether to go to Steep Slope Pond based on their physical strength. This time, I went straight to the Great Waterfall first. After watching it, I assessed my condition, and since I had a bit of a cold and fever recently, I gave up on the Tianxing Bridge and Steep Slope Pond areas. However, I don't feel regretful, as I visited the most essential attraction, and the other two were just part of the package, so it doesn't matter if I didn't visit them. Ps: Now is not the peak season with the highest water flow. At the entrance to the scenic area, there are many vendors selling raincoats. Personally, I suggest that unless it's a rainy day, walking through the Water Curtain Cave will only get you a few water droplets, but it's not a big deal, so there's no need to wear a raincoat as they suggest for the Great Waterfall Water Curtain Cave experience.
