TerenceTThe hotel's location is super convenient, just a few hundred meters from the Huangguoshu Scenic Area. The owner was incredibly friendly and enthusiastic, giving us great recommendations for local food – we followed their advice and didn't have a single bad meal! The room facilities are complete, and all the hardware is from well-known brands. The bathroom was clean and odor-free. The rice noodles and coffee for breakfast were also delicious. Even during the May Day holiday, the prices weren't ridiculously inflated. I highly recommend staying here if you're visiting the Huangguoshu Scenic Area.

Guest UserComfortable and Convenient Stay with Thoughtful Host
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room is new and modern. However, shower room tiling can be improve further for one of the family room toilet. But the other toilets in the other rooms are good.
The location is good, near the second entrance of Huang Guo Shu Waterfall which only opens for day trip. It has MacDonald & bubble tea shop nearby for comfort food. However, it is a 20 min walk from the main ticketing entrance for foreigners for day and evening tickets. Though it is quite a distance, but it is better than getting stuck in the heavy traffic during this peak season. Talking a stroll, passing by the restaurants are ok.
The owner is fantastic — they assisted us with one parcel collection from Taobao, which was a huge help since collecting them ourselves would have been inconvenient. They also send our family out to the main road as our 9 seater big bus is not able to enter the small lane to the homestay. To walk to the main road, there is a staircase which is about 1 min walk up. Ok for young and young seniors, but may not be very suitable for very old people with walking difficulties.
Overall, this is a highly recommended stay for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a host who goes the extra mile!

Guest UserThe service was excellent! The butler was super responsive, even helping my child print out homework and giving us coffee vouchers. Just a heads-up, the coffee shop doesn't open until 11 AM. The environment is lovely and very quiet, and my child had a blast swimming.
To help you improve even further, here are a few suggestions:
We stayed in the Xue Zhu room, and the bed frame on the first floor creaks when you sit on it. It would be great if that could be fixed.
It would be helpful to have smaller pillows available for children.
Also, it might be a good idea to ask about check-in times beforehand and do the pest control earlier. The mosquito coils were quite strong, and my nose felt really uncomfortable at night 😷.
When cleaning, if the showerhead could be adjusted to a handheld spray, it would prevent adults from getting wet when turning on the water to bathe children.
I look forward to an even better experience on my next stay! Still highly recommend this place.

Guest UserAt the beginning of the month, my travel companion, “Peking Duck” (my child), and I explored four small cities in Guizhou – Guiyang, Anshun, Bijie, and Xingyi. We thoroughly experienced the karst landscapes, caves, waterfalls, and pastoral scenery, all in a comfortably cool climate. Here's a comprehensive guide to share with everyone!
⭕️ Guizhou Geological Museum (reservations required, closed on Mondays, last admission at 4 PM): You can book a guided tour with fossil restoration activities, which is very interesting.
⭕️ Qingyun Market: A great place to eat and explore (definitely try Guiyang's Sour Soup Hotpot – the flavor is unique compared to other regions).
⭕️ Yelang Valley (watch Nuo opera, two shows daily: 12:00-12:30 PM and 3:00-3:30 PM. Kids who enjoy crafts can try plant carving).
⭕️ I personally don't recommend Zhijin Cave for families with young children or the elderly! However, Zhijin Grand Canyon is highly recommended. Enter via the elevator, and the entire route is a downhill walk, making it very lazy-friendly. The scenic beauty is truly impressive and worth a visit!
⭕️ Guizhou Guanling National Fossil Group Geological Park (the fossil digging area is open, but the museum area will open in late July).
⭕️ Huangguoshu Waterfall (‼️ Water Curtain Cave requires reservations and raincoats are a must!). For a lazy-friendly approach: take the round-trip elevator and capture a panoramic shot from above. If you're not up for a lot of walking, you can skip Tianxing Bridge; seeing the main waterfall is breathtaking enough! And a shout-out to the park staff – every restroom is spotless, some even have toilet seat covers!
⭕️ Fenglin Buyi (consider going in the evening when the lights are on – the scenery is even more beautiful. You can experience Buyi culture, songs and dances, iron flower performances, and other unique shows. There are many fun NPC mini-games in the scenic area. Watching the iron flower show from a boat offers a more direct and spectacular view).
⭕️ Kids will absolutely love a full day at Wanfenglin! Fishing, mini-train rides, woodworking, tie-dyeing, fruit picking, making Ciba (sticky rice cakes), and so much more – they'll never want to leave! When they get tired, relaxing at a popular cafe is pure bliss!
⭕️ Maling River Canyon (known as 'the most beautiful scar on Earth.' The scenic area closes at 5:30 PM. For an aerial view, navigate to 'Maling River Canyon Parking Lot 2').
Tips:
‼️ Guizhou attractions can be physically demanding. If you're traveling with children and have limited stamina, opt for lazy-friendly routes.
‼️ Mornings and evenings are cool, but it can be quite sunny during other times, so bring plenty of sunscreen and mosquito repellent.
‼️ Some attractions require advance reservations, so plan your itinerary accordingly!
‼️ Bring raincoats for Maling River and Huangguoshu, and wear non-slip shoes.
‼️ For Zhijin Cave, avoid wearing long pants or white shoes as it can get muddy! The cave temperature is around 10 degrees Celsius, so bring a jacket.
Among the hotels we stayed at, 'Peking Duck' loved the Huangguoshu Kaiyuan Manju Hotel the most. It offers many parent-child activities, new facilities, and delicious dining!
We enjoyed a cool summer with temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius throughout our trip, without any high-intensity rushing. We experienced city life, majestic gorges and waterfalls, underground marvels, pastoral peak forests, and ethnic minority customs all at once. The best classroom is always on the road; what you see with your own eyes is far more memorable than what you read in books. It’s time to get out there with the kids!

Guest UserI rarely write reviews, but this hotel was a pleasant surprise. The owner provided excellent service. Since it was the off-season and there were vacant rooms, the owner generously upgraded our room and even offered free shuttle service to and from the scenic area, which saved us a lot of hassle. Each room also comes with a washing machine, which was quite unexpected. If I had to pick a downside, it would be that the light switches in the room were a bit confusing, and the toilet flush was so strong it caused some splashing. I hope the hotel continues its great work and dedicated management.

Guest UserHighly recommend this guesthouse! The environment is fantastic: lush lawns, dense forests, adorable animals, and individual wooden houses… The service is also excellent: our class reunion team-building event had over thirty people, and the manager and staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, from setting up the buffet to arranging the bonfire party. They even created a special service group for us, always ready to assist us. In short, it was a very meaningful team-building event that ended perfectly. Many thanks to the entire guesthouse staff for their hard work and to the owner for the generous discounts!

Anonymous UserThis is a new hotel, and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and spotless. The facilities and decor are excellent! 👍 The breakfast spread is fantastic and delicious. The Chinese food is superb and really hit the spot – even for us who can't handle spice, it was genuinely non-spicy. As someone from Shunde, a city known for its cuisine, I can attest it was truly delicious!
The service was absolutely amazing! Every single staff member, from the front desk and drivers to security, housekeepers, and restaurant staff, was incredibly warm and attentive!
We stayed for two nights, and on the morning of our third day, we wanted to see the magnificent Balinghe Bridge. The driver personally took us to the viewpoint, which was incredibly thoughtful and touching!

Guest UserAlthough this wasn't the last hotel I stayed at in Guizhou, it definitely had the best service I've experienced so far – absolutely wonderful! When we went to Huangguoshu Waterfall, a staff member guided us through the express lane and even told us how to get back. Since it was a sunny day, we were pleasantly surprised to find our car covered with sunshades when we returned, and they even brought us water.

Guest UserTraveling with my parents and child, we opted for the family twin room on the second floor, which was much drier than the ground floor. Since there's no elevator, the staff kindly helped us with our luggage, and their service was excellent.
On the day of check-in, the front desk proactively informed us about the quick access to the Grand Waterfall. As we were short on time, we just dropped off our luggage and headed straight to the waterfall. I must say, it was incredibly convenient; if we had stayed outside the scenic area, we probably wouldn't have made it that afternoon or would have finished quite late.
The restaurant also didn't require advance reservations. We just ordered after returning from the Grand Waterfall. For a restaurant within a scenic area, the food tasted surprisingly good. Do remember that the express通道 closes at 6:30 PM, so keep an eye on your return time. The Water Curtain Cave requires advance booking, and you won't be able to get in if you try to book on the same day. We had booked ahead, and it went very smoothly.
The service was outstanding. At one point, I wanted to buy milk for my child, but the hotel car wasn't available. The front desk staff even offered to have a colleague help us get it, but we didn't want to trouble anyone and ended up not buying it.
For our return journey, we went directly from Tianxing Bridge to the Beer Plaza to catch our ride. The hotel even delivered our luggage directly to the Beer Plaza, which was fantastic.
Visiting during the off-peak season (not summer), staying inside the scenic area, and without purchasing VIP tickets, we still had a wonderful time. Highly recommended. The hotel was also running a travel photography event recently, offering three retouched photos. The photography was great, and there was no pressure to buy additional photos; even when we didn't, their attitude remained excellent.
For those traveling with elderly parents or children, staying within the scenic area is definitely more convenient. I highly recommend Qianshouju.

NanianzhudongtianUpon arrival, I received a complimentary room upgrade. The hotel offers a shuttle service to Huangguoshu Waterfall, and it's also a convenient 10-15 minute walk to the entrance. The staff were very welcoming. The only downside was the rather basic breakfast.
