Pingtang Tiandong

4.9/5
115 reviews
Tiandong is about 20 minutes away from Tianyan, forming a route for observing the sky and exploring the earth. Tiandong provides a deeper understanding of the history of the formation of Guizhou's karst landforms. Cave exploration is different from regular sightseeing tours because we will enter a pristine natural cave. So before we start exploring, we need to complete the necessary pre-trip training at the base camp. In the pre-trip training, we will learn how to wear personal safety equipment, including helmets, headlamps, cave suits, safety belts, etc. And the leader will introduce our coaching team for this trip and Guide the necessary safety knowledge. Therefore, pre-trip training is very important. Taking part in the pre-trip training seriously can make our adventure trip more handy. After completing the pre-trip training, we officially started the adventure journey. Starting from the base camp, it takes about 10-20 minutes to walk to the cave entrance. This section of the road is a warm-up for our adventure itinerary. Everyone can fully activate their bodies through a short hike and prepare for the walk in the cave later. The unique structure of Pingtang Tiandong gives him many adventure experiences. We will use the cave uninterrupted protection system independently developed by Qiaomu Tanyou in the cave, and there will be no risk of getting lost or slipping in the dark and slippery cave. The marine fossils, stone pillars, stalagmites and other various cave sediments in the cave are natural geological classrooms. Qiaomu Tanyou's coaches will bring a vivid geological classroom in a real environment. Of course, there are more experience projects that need to be kept confidential. If you know everything in advance, it will be useless to explore the unknown fun. After completing the journey through the dark cave, we will come to the exit of a Tiandong, a cenote that is like a paradise. Here, Qiaomu Tanyou's coaches prepared a cave Afternoon Tea to replenish energy for everyone, so that you can relax and chat with your companions about the interesting things that just happened in the cave.Pingtang · 59.6km from downtown

Its three diamond-shaped main towers reach into the clouds, standing 332m tall, equivalent to the height of a 110-story building, and the bridge deck is over 200m above the valley floor. The tower height ranks among the highest for reinforced concrete bridge towers globally. Standing on the observation deck, you can take in panoramic views of the valley, the sea of clouds, and the bridge.

Jiacha Scenic Spot is located in Jiacha Village, Bairu Town, Pingtang County, 47 kilometers away from the county seat, belonging to the lower reaches of Pingzhou River, covering an area of ​​45.1 square kilometers and 20 scenic spots. Since the Jiacha Attraction is only 402 meters above sea level, the low-latitude warm and humid climate has formed the unique subtropical scenery here. Jiacha Attraction integrates mountains, water, waterfalls, caves, bamboos and stones, and is handsome, beautiful, strange, secluded and beautiful, with its own distinctive characteristics. The strange and beautiful waterfalls, the thorny bamboos in belts and forests, the evergreen rattan bamboos and the clear green river water, the golden sand beach, the magical and deep karst caves, the beautiful canyons, the Buyi villages hidden in the lush bamboo forests and the rich folk customs have added charming charm to the mysterious land of Jiacha. Jiacha Waterfall is 40 meters wide and 37 meters high, light and beautiful. Due to the steep and uneven rock layers, the water flows down and crosses, just like a huge white silk that is neat, smooth, crystal clear and glittering spread on the rock wall, or like several endless long silver silks that are shuttled off the loom and fall into the Biyun Lake. "I suspect that the fairy is weaving white silk, and the white silk falls off the axis and hangs down to the sky" is a true portrayal of Jiacha Waterfall.Pingtang · 25.9km from downtown

Jiacha Waterfall is located in Jiacha Village, Pingtang County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. Located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the area's low altitude creates a unique subtropical landscape. The scenic area combines waterfalls, caves, canyons, beaches, and river bends. The water, cascading through the jagged rock faces, creates numerous cascades, crisscrossing the landscape, creating a graceful flow, like white silk or a silken thread cascading from the sky. At the foot of the waterfall lies the crescent-shaped Biyun Pond, its emerald green waters a striking contrast to the surrounding trees, creating a distinct layering of hues. Downstream of the waterfall, tall, dense thorny bamboo intertwines its branches, forming a green tunnel known as "Bamboo Stream." Boating or strolling here, visitors will be captivated by the serene, tranquil scenery of emerald waters and the rustling of bamboo. Besides the waterfall and bamboo creek, the scenic area also boasts mysterious and profound caves, such as Swallow Cave, scenic canyons, such as Laqi Canyon, and Buyi villages nestled amidst lush bamboo forests, rich in local customs.Pingtang · 25.6km from downtown

Huangguoshu Scenic Area

The Huangguoshu Scenic Area is located in Anshun, Guizhou, centered around the Huangguoshu Waterfall. Surrounded by deep gorges, dense vegetation, and dotted with limestone caves and stone forests, it is a typical karst landscape area. The waterfall's name originates from the locally abundant "Huangguoshu" (Ficus virens). Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake visited and documented this site, contributing to its fame. The scenic area primarily consists of three main sections: the Great Waterfall, Tianxing Bridge, and Doupotang. Most travelers follow the sequence of Doupotang, Tianxing Bridge, and finally the Great Waterfall, saving the most spectacular view for last. The grand waterfall has a drop of nearly 80 m and a width of over 100 m. The Baishui River plunges from the cliff top into Rhinoceros Pool, creating a vast mist. Multiple viewing platforms around it allow visitors to experience its grandeur, wonder, steepness, and beauty from different angles—above, below, front, back, left, and right. A particularly unique experience lies behind the waterfall: a 100 m long Water Curtain Cave runs horizontally through its midsection, featuring cave windows and halls. Reaching through a window, one can touch the cascading water. The cave served as the filming location for the Water Curtain Cave in the 1986 TV series Journey to the West. Due to the heavy humidity inside, bringing a raincoat in advance is recommended. Tianxing Bridge is renowned for its harmonious blend of rocks, water, trees, and caves—where rocks rise from the water, caves hide within rocks, and trees stand beside caves. The stepping stones along the path are engraved with dates, allowing travelers to find their own "birthday stone." The attraction is divided into upper and lower sections. Many travelers turn back after completing the upper section, missing the Silver Chain Waterfall in the lower part—where water cascades like silver chains into a funnel-shaped pool, the highlight of Tianxing Bridge. The Doupotang waterfall is located approx. 1 km upstream from the grand waterfall. With a width of over 100 m at its crest, the water spreads out smoothly like a beaded curtain. During the high-water season, its deep roar earns it the nickname "roaring waterfall." The scene of the four pilgrims leading their horse across the river in the 1986 TV series Journey to the West was filmed here. In summer and fall, the waterfalls are full and powerful, while in winter and spring, the flow becomes gentler, offering different viewing experiences. Nearby, visitors can also enjoy local snacks like sticky rice, love tofu, and Anshun spring rolls.China · Zhenning

A guide and a belayer lead 20 people; I personally think the number could be smaller, but otherwise it's a fantastic experience. One question I have is why caving in Guizhou is so expensive—it seems a bit exaggerated.

Address: Sky Bridge Scenic Area, Pingtang County, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture Transportation: Self-driving Experience: After a second visit to the Xiaoqikong (Small Seven-hole Arch) in the morning, I added a visit to the Sky Bridge Scenic Area on my way to the FAST (China's Sky Eye). The 90-kilometer drive from the scenic area takes about two hours. The scenery along the way is equally stunning. Before entering the bridge, there are signs directing you to the scenic area and the service area. The Sky Bridge service area features a hotel, camping area, viewing platform, and a bridge science museum, making it a perfect spot for photo opportunities and study. Half of the top 100 world-class tallest bridges are in Guizhou, and four have won the Gustav Lindsahl Prize, the "Nobel Prize" of the world bridge community. Visiting Guizhou's bridges provides a compelling understanding of why China is known as an "infrastructure maniac." The Pingtang Bridge, also known as the "Sky Bridge," features a bridge science museum on the second floor of the main service area. It explains the history of bridge development in China and offers a wealth of information about bridges. It also features some of the country's most famous bridges. Later in the trip, we also planned to visit the Baling River Bridge and the Beipan River Bridge. We stopped for coffee, took photos, and flew our drones; it was truly relaxing.

We drove there from the Astronomical Town. We called to inquire before we went. The cave scenic area was closed due to heavy rain. It took less than two hours from entering to leaving. There were only three of us and we didn't see any other tourists.

The reason I went to Guizhou this time was because I saw the photos of Jiacha Waterfall and the scenic area. I was really attracted by it. Although it is small and remote, it really did not disappoint me. It is simple, original, and has a quiet charm.

It is well worth a visit. I heard that 46 more sky dishes of 50 meters, 60 meters and 80 meters will be added within 10 kilometers of the Tianyan, covering the entire Western Hemisphere and covering a larger area.

We came at the wrong time of year, during the dry season, so the waterfall wasn't very powerful. It's also not very friendly to seniors over 60. In other cities across the country, tickets are half-price, but in Guizhou, it's full-price. Why not implement the nationally unified ticket price?

An unexpected highlight of the attraction, the stalactites inside the cave are diverse in shape and incredibly lifelike. The main attractions are ingeniously designed, especially the "Investiture of the Gods" section, where seeing the Buddha evokes awe at the wonders of nature. If Zhijin Cave is grand and magnificent, Tiandong Cave is exquisite and ethereal. The air inside is fresh and comfortable to walk in. Hopefully, the local authorities will cherish this natural resource and protect it well, allowing more people to appreciate this beautiful karst cave wonder.
