Experience a Day as the Monkey King in Guizhou

What is it like to spend a day as the Monkey King in Guizhou? Dive into the filming location of 'Journey to the West' at Huangguoshu Waterfall, touch the rainbow mist that can pass through the Water Curtain Cave, and take 'wet' photos at the foot of the largest waterfall in Asia! With a height of 77.8 meters, the waterfall's roar is so loud it makes your eardrums tremble. If this doesn't blow up your social media, I'll admit defeat! ⛺【Must-Visit Spots】 1️⃣ Huangguoshu Waterfall ✔️Must-do: Dive into the Water Curtain Cave to touch the rainbow, best seen between 2-4 PM when the sunlight hits just right 🌈 📸Photo Spot: Take a wide-angle shot at the Viewing Pavilion to capture the contrast between the small person and the large waterfall, or use a film camera to capture the silky flow of the water. 2️⃣ Tianxingqiao Lower Section ✔️Fun Fact: The Silver Chain Falls into the Pool looks like the Milky Way crashing into a deep pool. Use slow-motion video to capture the silky flow of the water! 🌿Hidden Gem: The stalactites in Tianxing Cave look like an alien base when lit up. Wear fluorescent clothes for a cyberpunk vibe. 3️⃣ Doupotang Waterfall ✔️Filming location for the ending theme of 'Journey to the West'. Capture the golden waterfall and the silhouettes of the 'Journey to the West' characters at dusk. 🛬【Travel Guide】 🚶♀️【Walking Route】7:30 AM start → Huangguoshu Waterfall → Tianxingqiao → Doupotang → 5:00 PM finish 1️⃣ 7:30-10:00 AM Huangguoshu Waterfall ▪️Get the first shuttle bus to avoid the tour group crowds ▪️Queue for the Water Curtain Cave starts at 30 minutes, bring a waterproof phone case and a light raincoat 2️⃣ 10:30 AM-1:00 PM Tianxingqiao ▪️Head straight to the lower section! The Silver Chain Falls and Tianxing Cave are the highlights ▪️Walk 6 km with non-slip shoes, no turning back midway 3️⃣ 2:00-4:00 PM Doupotang ▪️The waterfall is 101 meters wide, use panorama mode to capture the 'person in the painting' effect ▪️Avoid shopping at the commercial street near the exit! Beware of overpriced snacks ⚠️During peak season (May-October), book tickets 3 days in advance, shuttle bus tickets are bundled with the entrance ticket 🏨【Accommodation Guide】 💰Luxury: 'Wolong Mountain Retreat': Cliffside pool and standalone treehouses, around 800+ per person including breakfast, 10-minute walk to the scenic area 🛏️Value: 'Craft House · Mountain View': View of Baling River Bridge, around 200+ per night with free rice tofu, family rooms with slides 🚫Avoid: Old hotels within the scenic area, low value for money, stay in Anshun city for better food options 🧡【Tips】 ✅Essential Gear: ▪️Non-slip water shoes (Water Curtain Cave steps are always wet) ▪️Folding stool (no rest areas during the Tianxingqiao hike) ✅Pro Tips: ▪️Bring a 1 yuan note to take a photo with the same view as on the back of the note (queues for on-site exchange can be over an hour) ▪️Buy VIP tickets! 308 yuan per person for a private car and no queues, worth it during peak season ❗Warnings: ▪️Don't trust people offering shortcuts, the only official entrance is the East Gate! ▪️During the wet season (June-August), the Water Curtain Cave may be temporarily closed due to heavy mist ✨Final Tip: Don't miss 'Broken Bridge Green Pepper Fish' at the exit! Freshly killed fish with spicy peppers, so delicious it will make your soul tremble
