Stand under the waterfall for 10 seconds and get soaked, but scream with excitement

⏰ Best time to visit ✅ Peak season (June–October): The water volume is abundant and the most spectacular (but there are so many people that you'll doubt your life) ✅ Off-season (November–May): Fewer people, suitable for taking pictures (the water volume is slightly smaller but still shocking) 🔔 Golden time: Head there as soon as the park opens at 7:30 am! Tour groups leave after 3pm 🎫 Tickets & Fees - Ticket: CNY 160 (including three major scenic spots) - Sightseeing bus: CNY 50 (must buy! You'll be exhausted if you hike) - Escalator: CNY 50 (CNY 30 for a one-way trip, it is recommended to take it when going down the mountain) 💡 Hidden benefit: Qingdao citizens can enjoy free tickets with their ID cards (counterpart assistance policy) 🚶‍♂️ Scientific route planning 🔥 One-day tour route 07:30 Go straight to the Great Waterfall (take pictures of the Water Curtain Cave while there are few people) 09:30 Dipo Pond (the filming location of the ending credits of Journey to the West) 11:30 The second half of Tianxing Bridge (the Silver Chain Falling Pool Waterfall is stunning) 📌 Tips to avoid pitfalls: - The first half of Tianxing Bridge can be skipped (it is a commercial street with numbered steps) - The Water Curtain Cave may be closed on rainy days ☔️ 📸 Must-see photo spots 1️⃣ The viewing platform directly below the waterfall (prepare a raincoat!) 2️⃣ Take pictures from inside the Water Curtain Cave (from the same perspective as the Monkey King) 3️⃣ Xiake Pavilion (take a panoramic view at the statue of Xu Xiake) 4️⃣ Dipo Pond Waterfall (reproduce the ending credits of the 1986 version of Journey to the West) 🍜 Recommended local food Inside the scenic area: • Waterfall eggs 🥚 (boiled in hot spring water, CNY 5/piece) • Ciba (pounded on the spot, CNY 10/portion) Anshun City: 1. Zhengji Ice Syrup (cucumber 🥒 milk 🥛 smoothie is the best) 2. Xiaoshizi Snack Street (Guo Juan/Duoduo Fen/Siwawa) 3. Long Laotai Wei Quan Duoduo Fen (spicy hot pot, CNY 40 per person) 🏨 Accommodation recommendations 💰 Value for money options: • Huangguoshu Hotel (CNY 300+/night, 5-minute walk to the scenic area) • Homestay at the entrance of the scenic area (CNY 150–200, conditions are average but close) 🌟 Quality recommendations: • Jianglu Cunxiao (CNY 600+/night, renovated from a Buyi village) 🚗 Transportation guide 🧭 Departing from Guiyang: • High-speed train 🚄 30 minutes to Anshun West → taxi CNY 60 to the scenic area • Tourist direct bus 🚌 CNY 60/person (departs from Guiyang North Station/Yanan West Road) Self-driving tips: • Navigation 🗺️ "Huangguoshu Beer Square Parking Lot" (closest to the entrance) • Parking spaces are limited during peak season, it is recommended to arrive before 8am 💦 "Get Wet" Prevention Guide 1. Raincoat is a must (CNY 15 sold in the scenic area, CNY 3 if you buy online in advance) 2. Waterproof phone bag (99% of people in front of the waterfall will regret not bringing one) 3. Non-slip shoes 👟 (the stone road turns into a slide when it gets wet) ⚠️ Important tips to avoid pitfalls ❌ Don't trust the wild tour guides who say they can "skip the line" ❌ The food in the scenic area is expensive and unappetizing, bring your own food ❌ Don't go to the Water Curtain Cave in the afternoon! At least 2 hours 💡 Walking summary "A great Huangguoshu trip = 30% getting up early + 40% route planning + 30% waterproof measures Remember: ✅ Enter the park before 7:30 am ✅ Go against the tour group route ✅ Save the driest clothes for the return trip"
