2025 Guanling Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

I initially thought traveling with kids would be inconvenient, but upon arriving in Luodian, Guizhou, I discovered it's the perfect destination for family trips! Spring in Guizhou offers pleasant temperatures averaging 20°C, with stunning landscapes and rich ethnic minority culture. The kids had a blast, and I fell in love with this land too🧒. Luodian's Daxiaojing is like a forgotten gem, free from commercial hustle yet rivaling the beauty of "Xiaoqikong" with its pristine natural scenery🌳. It's affordable and a photographer's dream📷. The activities offer great value: 🚣🏻‍♂️Large Bamboo Raft: Just 30 RMB for a water adventure. 🚣🏻‍♂️Xiangshui Cave Bamboo Raft: Only 10 RMB for a unique water experience. 🚣Paddleboarding: 60 RMB per board, including exploring natural caves (see image 3) for stunning photos. Beyond the cave, a spectacular stone sinkhole awaits. Here's our itinerary: D1⃣Gather in Guiyang - Stay at Hotel M Gallery by Sofitel Arrive in Guiyang and start a culinary journey with local specialties like Danjia Crispy Duck, Old Couple Sticky Rice, and Shiban Street Kaili Sour Fish. D2⃣Guiyang - Huangguoshu Waterfall - Stay at Hotel M Gallery by Sofitel Visit Huangguoshu, starting with Doupotang Waterfall, the filming location for "Journey to the West," then hike to the main waterfall. Upper section takes about 1 hour, lower section 2 hours. Explore Tianxing Cave, Silver Chain Waterfall, and Water Stone Forest.

D5⃣Luodian Daxiaojing Morning hike through Daxiaojing's stunning sinkholes. Learn paddleboarding with a coach in designated areas. Then hike to cave photo spots for unforgettable moments in unique karst landscapes. D6⃣Qingyan Ancient Town - Guiyang Departure Travel Tips⚠: ✔Attractions in Guizhou are far apart. Family tours include airport transfers, hotels, transport, and tickets for hassle-free travel. ✔Guizhou cuisine is spicy and sour. Inform staff if you prefer milder flavors. ✔Comfortable sports shoes are a must for a pleasant journey.

because it's just too~ Folks! Speaking from the heart, I didn't have high expectations for Guiyang in July, but ended up so charmed I wanted to change my return ticket 😭 This isn't a deterrent, but a sincere warning—the summer here is so comfortable, you might not want to face the city heatwaves after visiting! 🚌【Transport Guide】: ✨City transport: Guiyang's bus system is convenient, with regular buses costing 1 yuan (exact change needed for unmanned buses). Minibuses cover suburban routes with slightly higher night fares. Taxis start at 8 yuan + 1 yuan fuel surcharge, but downtown traffic gets congested—avoid rush hours. ⚠️Note: Many minibuses are privately operated and drive fast—hold tight! Avoid unlicensed cabs for safety. ✨Scenic area transport: For distant attractions like Huangguoshu or Libo, consider chartered cars/tour groups or direct scenic area shuttles. Mountain roads can be winding—drive carefully if self-driving. 🏨【Accommodation Recs】: 🌟Luxury: In Guiyang, try "Sofitel Guiyang Hunter" with French flair + 55th-floor city views, walkable to Jiaxiu Tower. At Huangguoshu, "Banyan Tree Huangguoshu" offers private hot springs facing the waterfall—wake up to a landscape painting! 🌟Budget-friendly: Stilt-house inns in Xijiang Miao Village immerse you in Miao culture; B&Bs near Qingyan Ancient Town blend historic charm with modern comforts. 🌟Students/budget travelers: Chain hotels (e.g., Guanshanhu District) or budget hotels near Qingyun Road Night Market—affordable and surrounded by food! 🚗【Summer Escape Itinerary】: 📅5-day highlights: Day1: Arrive → Jiaxiu Tower → Qingyun Road Night Market (stay in Guiyang) Day2: Guiyang → Libo Small Seven Arches (emerald wonderland) → Xijiang Miao Village (night views, stay) Day3: Miao Village immersion (dress-up photos) → Zhenyuan Ancient Town (boat on Wuyang River, stay) Day4: Zhenyuan → Huangguoshu Falls (Tianxing Bridge + Water Curtain Cave) → Anshun (stay) Day5: Anshun → Qingyan Ancient Town → Depart 📅6-day deep dive: Add "Longli Grasslands" or "Liupanshui Wumeng Grasslands" for camping + grass sliding! 🔥【Must-See Spots】: Huangguoshu Falls: Asia's largest waterfall group—July-August brings powerful flows. Wear a raincoat through Water Curtain Cave! ⚠️Bring a jacket—it's chilly by the falls. Xijiang Miao Village: When night falls, thousands of lights resemble a starry sky—Miao costume photos are magical! Libo Small Seven Arches: Emerald lakes + 68-tiered waterfalls—perfect summer hiking. Wolong Pond is a must. Qingyan Ancient Town: Ming-Qing stone alleys + braised pork knuckle. Climb the walls for panoramic views—10 yuan ticket is a steal! Nanjiang Grand Canyon: Rafting + zip-lining—ultimate summer water fun! Jiaxiu Tower: Guiyang's landmark. Romantic riverside nightscapes—ideal for evening strolls. 🍽️【Food Recs】: ✨Must-eats: -Huaxi Beef Noodles (sour soup + yellow beef—locals swear non-chain shops beat "Yuhuaxi"!) -Sour Fish Soup (Miao specialty—tangy & spicy) -Si Wa Wa ("Guizhou spring rolls" stuffed with veggies) -Luo Guo (Liupanshui-style—everything tastes better grilled) -Wan'er Cake (soft brown sugar cakes—Xu's on Minsheng Road is legendary) ✨Night market heaven: Erqi Road/Guiyun Road Night Markets—dozens of snacks under one roof. 50 yuan fills you up! 📌【Pro Tips】: ✅Weather prep: July-Aug averages 20-30°C, but mountains have big day-night swings—pack light jackets + rain gear! Sunscreen is essential—high UV. ✅Savings: Seniors/students get discounts at some sites—book tickets online for deals. ✅Cultural respect: During Miao activities, avoid touching silver ornaments or random photos—honor traditions. ✅Pacing: 1-2 major spots daily—Guizhou's mountain roads demand rest breaks. ✅Hidden gems: Banyan Tree's private hot springs, Qingyan's "Lollipop Bar" (jazz nights Thu-Sat)—unique finds shine! ✅Safety: Choose official operators for rafting. Watch for post-rain rockfall warnings. Now typing in AC, all I can think of is Guiyang's sour soup and evening breezes 😭 Honestly, July-August here isn't "worth visiting"—it's a MUST! Summer here isn't endurance—it's pure joy. Beware: you might refuse to leave~

This summer was rainy and Guizhou was also affected. At the end of July, there were many people in Huangguoshu and due to floods, some plank roads in the scenic area were closed and controlled. As Hong Kong residents, we cannot book tickets online, but we still went to Huangguoshu Waterfall in early August. We went directly to the special person ticket office at the ticketing center to buy same-day tickets with our ID cards. We could enter the site before 2:30 pm with our tickets and facial recognition. However, due to the large number of tourists, it was difficult to complete the tour of the Tianxing Bridge and the Big Waterfall scenic area in one day. Fortunately, we could visit all three scenic areas within three days with our tickets/facial recognition.

#chasingwaterfalls Huangguoshu Waterfall is a real spectacle! If you hit it after recent rainfall its at its most beautiful but even without that it remains an incredible waterfall! Work your way around to experience the rainbow at the bottom 😍 Be warned, the queue is crazy! My advice would be to go there as early as possible and make your way straight to the majn waterfall. You can spend the rest of your time exploring the surrounding the area which is also very beautiful and has many smaller waterfalls and walks for you to enjoy.

Huangguoshu Waterfall or 'Yellow-Fruit Tree Waterfalls' is one of the largest waterfalls in China and East Asia located on the Baishui River in Anshun, Guizhou province.

There is a Water-Curtain Cave named "Shuiliandong" (水帘洞), a 134 m (440 ft) long naturally formed cave located in the back of the waterfall. It is believed that this is the habitat of Sun Wukong aka the Monkey King 👑 #guizhou #anshun #waterfalls #mayholiday #May2022

Everything about this dream journey in Guizhou is unmissable Dear friends! I just got back from Guizhou recently, and that trip was like opening a magical box full of surprises 🎁. I can’t wait to share this wonderful experience with you. Preparation ● Documents: ID card, student ID (some scenic spots offer student discounts). ● Clothing: Guizhou’s climate is changeable with big temperature differences between morning and night.

Then take a bus or taxi to Qingyan Ancient Town. ● Noon: Taste local specialties in the ancient town, such as Qingyan Scholar’s Pork Knuckle, which is reddish and glossy, fatty but not greasy, and every bite is full of happiness 😋.

Dear friends, Guizhou is truly an amazing travel destination with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and warm-hearted people. Pack your bags and embark on a spontaneous trip to Guizhou now! 💖

Guizhou has so many must-see attractions, and the mountain roads are long. If you join a tour group just to 'check in' at spots, not only will you have less freedom, but you'll also get tired easily, which would greatly diminish the experience. So, I decided to customize a private tour with Trip.com. Fortunately, my travel consultant, Zhang Zhang, knows Guizhou like the back of her hand and communicated patiently, tailoring a nine-day itinerary for my picky self that featured "no backtracking, fewer hotel changes, no early mornings, comfortable car rides, and control over my own time." Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the number of tourists significantly decreased, and we almost had the entire autumn scenery of Guizhou to ourselves. Over the nine days, Fanjing Mountain Golden Summit, Zhenyuan Ancient Town, Zhaoxing Dong Village, Libo Xiaoqikong and Daqikong, Basha Miao Village, Tang'an Terraces, Baling River Bridge (Huajiang Bridge was closed, but we saw it from afar), Wanfenglin Scenic Area, Maling River Canyon... all strung together into an unforgettable 1000+ kilometer landscape scroll. The hotels we stayed at were already highly rated, and we even got upgraded for a few nights, which was a series of pleasant surprises. Every day, a travel butler was available on WeChat to recommend attractions and answer all our questions. I also want to give a big shout-out to our female driver, Liu Li! She has extensive driving experience and excellent skills. The car was clean, odor-free, and the ride was comfortable, safe, and steady. From the sunroof, we could take in the peaks and sea of clouds along the way. The car even became a "live broadcast" on the spot, upgrading our VIP experience, and attracting a lot of attention! 😆 The only minor incident was that I got too excited and fell while climbing on the last day. Xiao Zhang immediately provided remote assistance, quickly helping with the insurance claim and collecting reimbursement documents, even covering the costs, which allowed me to continue my trip abroad with peace of mind. Everyone should still keep a bit of "safety buffer" when traveling; don't get too carried away! 😄 In short, this was a "super VIP-level" in-depth tour of Guizhou, where every penny was spent on the experience. I highly recommend it to friends who don't want to just scratch the surface and hope to save time and effort: customized tours are truly worth it!

Braving all the online complaints, we boldly took the kids to Huangguoshu. In the end, both the elderly and children adapted better than expected. The crowds were overwhelming, but the scenery was worth it. The mist from the waterfall acted like a natural humidifier, instantly soothing the hot and restless mood. Parent-child hard-earned experience sharing: 1️⃣ The truth about priority tickets After witnessing the scene at the regular entrance, we immediately upgraded the whole family to priority tickets! Although the rest stop cakes were in high demand, skipping the commercial street and having exclusive shuttle buses restored our energy to the max! Most importantly, carrying the child allowed direct access through the priority entrance to the Water Curtain Cave, saving 2 hours of waiting. 2️⃣ Reverse sightseeing strategy Head straight to the main waterfall in the morning, skip the escalator and choose the walking path. The shade coverage is excellent, and the kids can count butterflies along the way. Prepare snacks to coax the kids while waiting in line for the Water Curtain Cave; it’s damp and dark inside, so hold the kids tight. After exiting, find a corner on the viewing platform for a quick photo. 3️⃣ Zen viewing rule The main waterfall viewing platform was crowded, so we decisively retreated to the priority center to eat watermelon. The escalator line on the way back twisted like a greedy snake; for kids, walking uphill directly is recommended—it’s 20 minutes faster than waiting in line. 4️⃣ Steep Pond bonus After resting, take the bus past the God’s Viewpoint. In front of the Steep Pond Waterfall, tell the kids stories from Journey to the West. Skip Tianxing Bridge due to narrow paths and darkness inside the cave; conserving energy is the essence of parent-child travel. Although the kids hung on like human accessories, and the elderly needed to find a bench every few steps, when the waterfall spray splashed up, the whole family smiled like flowers. Perhaps the meaning of travel is to find shining moments amid the mess.

When visiting Huangguoshu, if you don’t want to squeeze into crowded scenic hotels, I accidentally booked this place, "Yinina Jia·Rustic Guesthouse," and it totally elevated my travel experience! The location is truly perfect, just a 10-minute drive from the Huangguoshu Waterfall scenic area entrance. No need to get up early to rush, you can leisurely stroll over after waking up—super relaxing~ The guesthouse location really hit the spot for me—right near the Huangguoshu scenic area, just a 10-15 minute drive to the main attractions. No early wake-ups or crowds at the entrance. Surrounded by green mountains and bamboo forests, I was woken up by birdsong in the morning. Opening the window reveals layers of greenery, and the air feels fresher than in the city, like living in a natural oxygen bar. The common areas are much nicer than I expected! On the first floor, there’s an open small living room with soft sofas and a bookshelf. In the afternoon, I curled up here with a cup of tea and a book, sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows—so cozy. There’s also a small terrace in the yard where you can sit in the evening, enjoy the mountain breeze, chat, and look up at the stars. It’s way more romantic than city night views. The rooms have a simple rustic mountain style, no flashy decorations, but very clean and comfortable. The room I booked has a small balcony where you can see the sunset over the distant mountains at night. The pillows and blankets are soft and cozy, perfect for falling asleep instantly after a long day. Plus, the room has air conditioning and hot water, so it’s warm even in winter—very thoughtful details. No worries about food! The guesthouse provides breakfast and dinner, all homemade by the owner’s family. Dishes like cured meat with bamboo shoots, tomato scrambled eggs, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables taste very homey, much better and more affordable than fast food in the scenic area. The morning porridge and steamed buns are freshly made, served with small pickles, warming you up completely. If you want something else, the owner can recommend nearby farmhouse dishes at reasonable prices. Getting around nearby is so convenient it’s almost emotional! Besides being close to Huangguoshu, the owner plans routes for you, like visiting the Huangguoshu Waterfall first, then the less crowded Tianxingqiao scenic area to avoid peak times. If you don’t want to go far, there are small mountain trails around the guesthouse for morning hikes to enjoy the mountain scenery—every photo you take is healing. Highly recommend this to friends visiting Huangguoshu! No crowding in the scenic area, and you can fully immerse yourself in rustic mountain life with great value for money. 🏠 Huangguoshu Yinina Jia·Rustic Guesthouse [RoundNails] Guanling Baishui Town Guizhou Botanical Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Oh my god!
