Huangguoshu Scenic Area

4.6/5
40k reviews
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

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.

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 Water Curtain Cave is located at a height of 40 to 47 meters above the Huangguoshu Waterfall, with a total length of 134 meters. The Water Curtain Cave consists of six cave windows, five cave halls, three cave springs and six passages. The main attractions include: upside-down cacti, ancient banyan roots, rattan curtains, pocket gardens, blast holes, crystal palaces, waterfall-touching platforms, etc. When you pass through the Water Curtain Cave, you will also see a wonderful spectacle: you can see the rainbow over the Rhinoceros Pond from each cave window. The rainbow here is not only a colorful double channel, but also dynamic. As long as the weather is clear, you can see it from 9 am to 5 pm, and it changes and moves as you walk. The predecessors said: "The rainbow in the sky is set off by the blue sky, and the rainbow in the Rhinoceros Pond is set off by the snow-white waterfall", so the title is "Snow Reflects the River Clouds". The "Huaguo Mountain" and "Water Curtain Cave" in the TV series "Journey to the West" have left a beautiful and deep impression on Chinese and foreign audiences. It also makes the Huangguoshu Waterfall, the location of the "Water Curtain Cave" filming, more famous and attracts countless tourists to come and see it.Zhenning · 12.7km from downtown

Doupotang Waterfall shows two different sides. When White Water River is at its normal level, the water is clear. Doupotang Waterfall flows down slowly, looking like a veil — it was therefore dubbed as a bride's veil. When a rainy season comes, White Water River pours down, carrying sand and soil. It no longer gentle and becomes a strong and forceful wild horse.Guanling · 11.5km from Zhenning

Yinlian Zhuitan Waterfall

4.8/5

Yinlian Zhuitan WaterfallLocated downstream from the Huangguoshu Waterfall, deep within the stone forest on water in the latter half of the Tianxingqiao tour route, this is a sinkhole-type waterfall. It has a drop of approx. 10m to 21m, with a funnel-shaped opening at the top and a trough-like karst pool at the bottom. The water falling into the pool disappears into a sinkhole and then flows into an underground river. The core highlight of the waterfall lies in the form of the water flow: the stone mounds rising along the edge of the pool resemble overlapping, inverted lotus leaves. The water from the Sancha River flows over these leaves and is divided by the travertine beach into countless water lines of varying thickness, spreading out evenly and sliding down slowly. It looks just like thousands of silver chains hanging into the emerald-green deep pool, with a soft and delicate sound that is completely different from the roar of the Huangguoshu Waterfall—"its shape is like a funnel, its sound is like a song, and its appearance is like a chain" perfectly describes this place. Among the Huangguoshu waterfall group, known for its grandeur, this one stands out for its delicate and lively beauty. Yinlian Zhuitan WaterfallLocated in the latter half of the Tianxingqiao area, it requires a considerable walk from the entrance, passing through small karst caves and suspension bridges along the way. During the high-water season, you can see the unique view of the waterfall's flow spreading evenly along the travertine beach, forming thousands of silver water chains falling into the deep pool.Zhenning · 16.3km from downtown

Huangguoshu National Wetland Park is located in Guanling, Guizhou Province. It is famous for its karst landforms and waterfalls. The core landscape, Huangguoshu Waterfall, is about 77.8 meters high and 101 meters wide. In the flood season, the water flows like a galloping horse, while in the dry season, the cliff texture is exposed. Visitors can watch the waterfall from multiple angles along the circular trail or walk through the Water Curtain Cave to feel the shocking roar behind the waterfall. The surrounding Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area features the Silver Chain Falling Pond Waterfall and the Karst Stone Forest. The trail passes through the canyon intertwined with vines. You need to reserve 2-3 hours for an in-depth tour. The park has clear guide signs and rest areas. It is recommended to wear non-slip sports shoes to deal with wet stone steps. Electronic ticketing services are available at the entrance of the scenic area. It is recommended to make reservations in advance during the peak season. Spring and autumn are more suitable for sightseeing. In summer, there is plenty of water but you need to prepare a raincoat. In winter, there are fewer people and you can enjoy the quiet landscape. Photography enthusiasts can go there in the early morning, and the waterfall in the mist is more lively.Guanling · 11.5km from Zhenning

A must-see attraction in one's lifetime, easily accessible and boasting exceptionally beautiful scenery. One ticket allows for two days of sightseeing, providing ample time. An elevator has also been added to reduce fatigue for seniors. Besides the world-famous waterfall, the stones of Tianxin Bridge and the karst caves are also remarkable. Absolutely breathtaking.

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.

Practical tips: 1. Transportation suggestions: Sign up for a one-day tour in the city or take the high-speed rail to Anshun to transfer to the scenic area through bus 2. Tour route: Recommend the lower half of the Tianxing Bridge route, where the highlights are concentrated 3. Best time: The flood season (June-August) is the most spectacular, and rainbows are easy to see on sunny afternoons 4. Photography skills: Shoot from a low position on the calcified beach to capture the effect of the hem of a wedding dress

Join a tour group in Guiyang and visit the Doupotang Waterfall Scenic Area in the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area. Doupotang Waterfall is located 1 km upstream of the Huangguoshu Waterfall. The top of the waterfall is 105 meters wide and 21 meters high. It is the widest waterfall in the Huangguoshu Waterfall Group. There are two sides of the Doupotang Waterfall. During the flat water period, because the water volume of the upstream Baishui River is small and the water flow is clear, the Doupotang Waterfall slowly flows down, and it is as beautiful and charming as a veil, and is nicknamed: the bride's veil. Whenever the rainy season comes, the Baishui River rushes down with a lot of mud and sand, and the Doupotang Waterfall loses its former gentleness, roaring like a galloping wild horse, majestic and powerful. The magical thing about the Doupotang Waterfall is that when a huge amount of flood passes through, the cave on the left side of the waterfall will produce a strange resonance and emit a low roar, so the Doupotang Waterfall has another nickname: the roaring waterfall.
