This summer was rainy and Guizhou was also affected. At the end of July, there were many people in Huangguoshu and due to floods, some plank roads in the scenic area were closed and controlled. As Hong Kong residents, we cannot book tickets online, but we still went to Huangguoshu Waterfall in early August. We went directly to the special person ticket office at the ticketing center to buy same-day tickets with our ID cards. We could enter the site before 2:30 pm with our tickets and facial recognition. However, due to the large number of tourists, it was difficult to complete the tour of the Tianxing Bridge and the Big Waterfall scenic area in one day. Fortunately, we could visit all three scenic areas within three days with our tickets/facial recognition.

#chasingwaterfalls Huangguoshu Waterfall is a real spectacle! If you hit it after recent rainfall its at its most beautiful but even without that it remains an incredible waterfall! Work your way around to experience the rainbow at the bottom 😍 Be warned, the queue is crazy! My advice would be to go there as early as possible and make your way straight to the majn waterfall. You can spend the rest of your time exploring the surrounding the area which is also very beautiful and has many smaller waterfalls and walks for you to enjoy.

Huangguoshu Waterfall or 'Yellow-Fruit Tree Waterfalls' is one of the largest waterfalls in China and East Asia located on the Baishui River in Anshun, Guizhou province. It is featured ranked as the largest waterfall cluster in the world in the Guinness Book of World Records! There is a Water-Curtain Cave named "Shuiliandong" (水帘洞), a 134 m (440 ft) long naturally formed cave located in the back of the waterfall. It is believed that this is the habitat of Sun Wukong aka the Monkey King 👑 #guizhou #anshun #waterfalls #mayholiday #May2022

I just came back from Xingyi Mushroom Wild Luxury Hotel, and I have to tell you the truth! I went there for the "Fairy Tale Mushroom House", but... 1️⃣ Navigation Assassin Trap: We agreed to go to the "Forest Fairy Tale World", but we almost got lost when we drove to Wanfenglin! The 5-year-old kid leaned on the car window and shouted, "Mom, are we going to fall into Alice's rabbit hole?" It wasn't until the shuttle bus turned into a pumpkin carriage and the driver showed up wearing a rabbit ear headband that the kid announced on the spot, "This is the princess's royal car!" 2️⃣Wilderness archaeological pit: Digging for fossils may sound like hard work, but the results are... ✔️The Guanling fossil site turned into a treasure hunt game in seconds, and the children mistook the trilobite fossils for dinosaur gems ✔️The restoration kit is like an operating room, and the children wear goggles and call themselves "fossil doctors" ✔️At the certificate presentation ceremony, the child puffed out his chest to accept the certificate, feeling prouder than receiving a red flower 3️⃣ Intangible Cultural Heritage Pitfalls: Worried about the boredom of batik, how do you know... ✔️The children made the blue-dyed cloth into "alien creatures", and the instructor praised it as "abstract art" ✔️Fishing in the rice field turned into a mud fight, and the fish caught in the end were less than the mud ✔️When I turned on the headlamp during the cave exploration, the shadows of the stalagmites scared the kids and made them laugh. 🏰But...it's really good value! When the kids were rolling around in the Mickey Mouse themed room hugging mushroom pillows and saying, "Mom, can we live here forever?", I realized that - ✔️The Huangguoshu VIP channel makes the queuers envious ✔️The bamboo tube rice at Fenglin Afternoon Tea is so delicious that the kids lick the tube three times ✔️The grilled corn at Tianyuan BBQ was named "Volcano Lava Stick" by my husband ✔️The slide in the children's playground is so long that it needs a break ‼ ️Blood and tears experience ✅Must bring: 5 sets of change of clothes! Rice paddy mud is wilder than Peppa Pig Park ✅Must play: Before entering the cave exploration, make up a "Dinosaur Hunter" storyline for your children ✅Must-eat: Mushroom House’s special blueberry jam, spread on bread can stop all crying ✅Must-steal: Batik scraps, take them home and make them into "abstract" tablecloths Now the kid asks himself every day: "When will we go back to the Mushroom Kingdom to be princesses?" How can this be a trap? It’s clearly a fairy tale awakening plan for city kids! (⚠️Hidden task: Find the cleaning lady wearing Miao silver headdress! She will give the children a hand-woven grasshopper necklace~)

I thought Chongzuo was already great for kids, until I visited Guizhou! For traveling with children, I highly recommend Guizhou.

This place is truly captivating; every corner is picturesque. Staying here feels incredibly therapeutic. Located in Manzhai Village, within the Huangguoshu Scenic Area in Anshun, Guizhou Province, Jianglu Yueshan is nestled against a hillside cliff, offering breathtaking panoramic views. Situated next to the Baling River Bridge viewing platform, the homestay provides stunning views of the bridge's grandeur—an experience that must be seen to be believed. It's about a 2-hour drive from Guiyang, and the homestay offers free parking, which is incredibly convenient for road trippers. If you're flying into Guiyang Airport, taxis and rental cars are readily available. Nearby attractions are easily accessible, with Huangguoshu Waterfall just a 30-minute drive away. The homestay has only 12 rooms, each decorated primarily in white with blue accents and wooden furniture, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

❄️ For the last stop of my Guizhou trip, Huangguoshu Waterfall, I chose a hidden gem nestled beside the falls: the Banyan Tree Huangguoshu Hotel, which brought me unexpected surprises. - ❄️The service is a gentle, subtle caress. From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I was greeted by staff in traditional ethnic attire offering hot towels infused with aromatherapy oils and Miao silver necklaces. Shuttle buses traversed the forest paths, and a butler provided attentive service throughout my stay. - ❄️The room was stocked with Banyan Tree's selected Pu'er tea and custom-made fragrances. During turndown service, a warm sweet soup was delivered, and even the mini bar featured local specialties like blood orange juice and wildflower tea. I especially enjoyed the hotel's meals, starting with a delightful breakfast. Both Chinese and Western options were impressive, and I highly recommend the Changwang Noodles – they were so good I couldn't stop eating! (Tip: You can have your meals delivered to your room). The sour soup fish for dinner was truly delicious – sour, rich, and fragrant. I personally found it even tastier than the ones in Miao villages. - ❄️I particularly loved the hot springs here. The water emerges at 53°C, a temperature that curiously echoes the classic proof of Moutai liquor. Twenty-six outdoor pools are scattered throughout the valley, each with its own unique character. - ❄️In addition, each room is equipped with a private hot spring pool. Imagine soaking in the hot spring while watching the morning mist or gazing at the starry night sky while listening to the gentle roar of the waterfall – a truly luxurious and private experience. - ❄️The hotel also has a batik workshop where I experienced the intangible cultural heritage of handmade batik. A Miao grandmother deftly guided the copper knife, and beeswax flowed along the lines of the totem, creating the desired patterns and characters on the white cotton cloth. It was quite fascinating. - ❄️The most stunning feature of the hotel is undoubtedly the hexagonal waterfall-viewing tea room. This three-story building, hidden in the forest, offers a panoramic view of the magnificent Huangguoshu Waterfall. No need to jostle with the crowds at the scenic spot – it's truly a treat! Enjoy a poetic afternoon tea here with a pot of Jingmai Mountain ancient tree Pu'er tea, accompanied by cream cake, savory pastries, and seasonal fresh fruit. The aroma of tea mingles with the waterfall's mist, creating a scene reminiscent of a traditional Chinese ink painting. Remember to book in advance! - This is not just a haven during your journey; it's a journey of natural healing that awakens all five senses. From the natural hot springs welling up from the earth, the ritualistic and attentive service, the culinary delights of the mountains and fields, to the poetic moments of waterfall viewing and tea tasting, every detail embodies the ultimate essence of "Oriental lifestyle aesthetics."

⬇️Guizhou has many waterfalls, and the largest one is Huangguoshu Waterfall. 📍Detailed address: Location: Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area, Guizhou Related costs 🎫Tickets: ￥160 Sightseeing bus ticket: ￥50 Escalator ticket: ￥50 🏠Accommodation Recommendation 🏨Yaojia Waterfall Village Resort Hotel This hotel is located in the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area, with a great location surrounded by 8,000 square meters of virgin forest. It was built on the basis of the local Buyi ancient village "Waterfall Village" with the concept of "repairing the old as new", allowing for a deeper experience of local customs. The fully transparent starlight infinity pool in the middle of the hotel is definitely a highlight. At night, the stars twinkle and reflect each other, creating a dreamlike scene.

Moreover, the water mist stirred up in the pool is very large, and the layers cannot be seen at all. The water flow is turbid and yellow. 📷Shooting locations: ⬇️①On the road above the first viewing platform, there is a peculiar tree not far from a small shop, which can be used as a foreground. ⬇️②On the lower road of the first viewing platform, you can see the second-tier pool. ⬇️③50 meters before the Water Curtain Cave, there is a place with fewer trees where you can stand a little higher. 📷Shooting suggestions: The waterfall is flowing. If you want a silky effect, you can add an ND filter or shoot multiple stacks. It is recommended to add a filter for a more textured look. You can prepare a lens cloth or clean paper towels, as sometimes the mist suddenly drifts over and wets the lens. 🍼Food: There are many things to eat in the scenic area, including McDonald's, KFC, and Heytea, as well as various local fruits. 📝Tips: Check the weather in advance and pay attention to real-time information about the scenic area. Most areas will be closed if there is too much rain. Buy tickets online in advance. Tickets are valid for 3 days. It is recommended to arrive early, as the scenic area opens at 7:00 am.
