🔴 Play Guide: Huangguoshu Waterfall - Tianxingqiao (second half) - Doupotang (86 Journey to the West filming location)
🗾 Huangguoshu Waterfall (including photo 1.5h)
Take the scenic sightseeing bus to Huangguoshu Waterfall, hike down the mountain (20 minutes), you will pass 3 viewing platforms, view Huangguoshu Waterfall from high to low, there are signs to Shuiliandong (recommended to bring a raincoat) go directly in, this section is all the way down the mountain, finally to the low end of Huangguoshu Waterfall, close-up of the big waterfall, then take a one-way escalator up.
🗾 Tianxingqiao (including photo 2h)
A more physically demanding attraction, divided into the first half and the second half, the first half has a wishing pavilion, a stone road with 365 days a year printed on it, and some artificial landscapes, I only walked the second half which was very exciting, perfectly avoiding the commercial area of Gaolaozhuang, the second half passed 88 iron cable bridge-bridge on bridge-Tianxingdong-Maoshui pool-Silver chain waterfall-cableway.
‼️ How to get to the second half of Tianxingqiao?‼️
Do not enter when you arrive at the entrance of Tianxingqiao, face the main gate and walk up the slope stairs on the left, go against the flow of tourists all the way, you will see Huangguoshu Folk Snack City, walk all the way to the very lively fruit stalls, do not go down the stairs from the stalls, there is a parking lot on the left hand side behind the stalls, after seeing the toilet, there will be a signpost for the second half of Tianxingqiao.
🗾 Doupotang (including photo 1.5h)
Relatively gentle, the attraction is not big, 86 Journey to the West filming location, the waterfall is short and fat, if time is not enough, you can skip here.
Stayed in a hotel near Huangguoshu Scenic Area the night before, 7 minutes walk to the entrance of the scenic area, very convenient, the hotel can also pick up and drop off the scenic area. This way, you can go directly to the scenic area as soon as it opens, without having to get up early, so to speak, this itinerary is quite smooth.
