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.Zhenning · 12.6km from downtown

Loong Palace attraction is located in the southern suburbs of Anshun, adjacent to Huangguoshu scenic area. It consists of three parts: the western Loong Palace central area featuring the essence of karst caves, the eastern Loong Palace scenic area - Xuantang showcasing pastoral scenery, and Qunfang valley - a small hilly area between them. There are various ways to explore Loong Palace: you can visit just the central area and return, take a boat tour followed by hiking through Qunfang valley before continuing by boat to Loong Palace scenic area - Xuantang, or explore in reverse order. During peak season like golden week when crowds are large, the reverse route is recommended to avoid long queues of group visitors. The central attraction of Loong Palace consists of two karst cave groups, with several cave halls connected by an underground river, collectively known as the first section.Loong PalaceHe'erjinLoong PalaceYou can only enter by boat, and it usually takes about half an hour to visit. Once inside,Loong PalaceStretching over 800 m, this section represents the essence of Loong Palace, featuring massive stalactites of diverse shapes that spark the imagination. The dim lighting inside may make photography challenging, so please take note. Qunfang valley is a hilly area where you can climb up and down amidst lush greenery while breathing fresh air - an exhilarating experience. Along the way, you'll encounter several karst caves including Yulong cave, Loong Palace scenic area - Guanyin cave, and Dizang hall. However, at Loong Palace scenic area - Guanyin cave, please note: if you're not a devout Buddhist, it's advisable not to touch anything or accept so-called "free incense" to avoid unexpected expenses.Anshun · 12.8km from Zhenning

The "Flying over Huangguoshu Science and Technology Experience Hall" is located in the Huangguoshu Scenic Area, a national 5A-level tourist Attraction in Huangguoshu Town, Zhenning Buyi and Miao Autonomous County, Anshun City. The specific location of the project is opposite the Huangguoshu Ticketing Center. The "Flying over Huangguoshu Science and Technology Experience Hall" is a high-tech panoramic flying ball cinema project. The overall exterior of the project is built in a 1:1 restoration of the Huangguoshu Attraction IP image "Buyi Guoguo", wearing the characteristic costumes of the local Buyi ethnic group and presenting an overall exterior image of "Guoguo Soaring to the Sky". The interior of the project is built with the world's top technology, equipped with an extra-large 15-meter horizontal panoramic dome, 12 laser engineering projectors and stereo surround sound. It can achieve naked-eye 3D visual effects without wearing any equipment. Through the 4D dynamic seats and IMAX visual synchronization, you feel as if you are in every landmark attraction and scenery of Huangguoshu even though you are not here, creating an immersive experience for you, allowing you to feel the beautiful scenery of Huangguoshu that you have never seen in a more real and three-dimensional way from a God's perspective. The "Flying over Huangguoshu Science and Technology Experience Hall" officially opened in May 2023. Each show can accommodate 60 people at the same time, and the daily reception capacity can reach more than 3,000 people. Visitors only need to sit in the dynamic seats to achieve immersive viewing without blind spots, and can experience the real feeling of flying, cliff descent, and curve racing. The sense of immersion in the entire viewing process is very creative and charming, and every vibration of the seat can bring you a different stimulating experience. Among them, the representative film "Flying over Huangguoshu" is a scene film specially created for the Huangguoshu Attraction. It perfectly reproduces every scenery in Huangguoshu at 1:1, as well as the "hidden beauty" you have never touched. While experiencing the limit, it takes you to fly through all the beautiful scenery of Huangguoshu at one time. It is a real and shocking visual feast.Zhenning · 10.4km from downtown

Walking slowly along the path, a cool mist washes over you, and the holographic projections and the waterfall's flow intertwine, like a flowing galaxy. Reaching the central viewing platform, the 77.8-meter-high waterfall transforms into a giant natural screen. Lasers pierce the night sky, and rainbows and Buyi ethnic totems appear and disappear in the mist. The roar of the waterfall and the sound of drums resonate together; at that moment, you truly forget to take out your phone and just want to stand and watch the whole thing.

It's worth a visit, though quite tiring; we probably took the easiest route. From the visitor center, take the sightseeing bus to the scenic area entrance, then walk one kilometer along the river to Longmen Waterfall. Take the elevator up, then walk 800 meters to Tianchi for the boat tour. Take the boat into the Dragon Palace twice, but don't get off at the second entrance (from there you have to walk an hour and a half to Xuantang). Return by boat to Tianchi, then walk to the scenic area exit, then another kilometer through Buyi Town to the sightseeing bus station. Take the sightseeing bus back to the visitor center. The whole trip takes about three and a half hours.

The backbone of China in the clouds. It's recommended to visit the museum first to learn about the history and construction techniques of Guizhou's bridges before climbing the bridge. From the museum, descend the steps to the visitor center, then take the six-story sightseeing elevator directly to the bridge's interior. Stepping out of the elevator, you'll find yourself on a 370-meter-high observation walkway, where you can experience the vibrations of the bridge as cars pass by.

The Water Curtain Cave is located at a height of 40 to 47 meters above the Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is 134 meters long and consists of 6 cave windows, 5 cave halls, 3 cave springs and 6 passages. This is the real scene where the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" filmed the scene of Sun Wukong flying into the Water Curtain Cave. The stalactites in the cave are of different shapes. You can also look out through the waterfall curtain from different positions and enjoy the double-track dynamic rainbow on the Rhinoceros Pond, which is very wonderful. Photography suggestions At the viewing platform outside the Water Curtain Cave, you can take a panoramic view of the waterfall. With the waterfall as the background, the characters stand sideways or with their backs to the body, which can capture the artistic conception. Enter the Water Curtain Cave, stand in front of the cave window, let the sunlight pass through the water curtain to form a halo, and take close-ups of the characters. On the iron chain bridge, with the waterfall and green mountains as the background, take pictures of the characters walking across the bridge to add dynamics.

Nestled amidst karst peaks, the village of stone houses is rustic and tranquil, with rice paddies and green mountains creating a picturesque scene. The Ming Dynasty stone arch bridge, covered in vines, bears witness to the vicissitudes of time. Stone walls, stone tiles, and stone millstones showcase the characteristics of a "stone architecture museum." The ox horn bronze drum sculpture at the entrance conveys a rich Buyi ethnic culture. Overall, it is a well-preserved original ecological ethnic village.

This praise is not for flying over Huangguoshu, but for the night tour of Doupotang. It is really interesting. The large-scale NPC situational drama, the actors are very dedicated, the performance is very good, and the interaction is also very good. The situational drama of the three white-bone spirits is very good. I almost cried when I saw Sun Wukong's final monologue. The design along the way is also very good. The Bull Demon King is also very cute, hahahahahaha! After the performance of Nezha, I saw that the children were taking pictures and performed it again. It was great! And the actress who played the white-bone spirit as a farmer's daughter is really beautiful😊😊😊!!!

Doupotang was placed as the last stop in the Huangguoshu Scenic Area. Compared to the Great Waterfall and Tianxing Bridge, the journey was shorter and more relaxing. We walked all the way to the viewing platform in front of the waterfall, which was quite nice.

Upon entering the hot springs ♨️♨️, the welcome ceremony was full of sense 🈵. All the necessary hot spring supplies were arranged in an orderly manner. The water temperature was just right. After visiting Huangguoshu, soaking in the hot springs was a unique experience and completely relieved any fatigue. The warm little snacks made the tiredness after the hot springs so sweet and heartwarming. The arrangements were perfect. I especially appreciate the service of Chen Pingmei and Ding Shuangshuang who always kept smiling. When I saw their smiles, the tiredness was instantly gone.

This is considered one of the gentler rafting experiences in Guizhou, but for first-timers like us, it was already quite thrilling. It was safe yet offered a perfect balance of excitement and safety. It would be better if the changing rooms were a bit cleaner.
