Pingtang Tiandong

Tiandong is about 20 minutes away from Tianyan, forming a route for observing the sky and exploring the earth. Tiandong provides a deeper understanding of the history of the formation of Guizhou's karst landforms. Cave exploration is different from regular sightseeing tours because we will enter a pristine natural cave. So before we start exploring, we need to complete the necessary pre-trip training at the base camp. In the pre-trip training, we will learn how to wear personal safety equipment, including helmets, headlamps, cave suits, safety belts, etc. And the leader will introduce our coaching team for this trip and Guide the necessary safety knowledge. Therefore, pre-trip training is very important. Taking part in the pre-trip training seriously can make our adventure trip more handy. After completing the pre-trip training, we officially started the adventure journey. Starting from the base camp, it takes about 10-20 minutes to walk to the cave entrance. This section of the road is a warm-up for our adventure itinerary. Everyone can fully activate their bodies through a short hike and prepare for the walk in the cave later. The unique structure of Pingtang Tiandong gives him many adventure experiences. We will use the cave uninterrupted protection system independently developed by Qiaomu Tanyou in the cave, and there will be no risk of getting lost or slipping in the dark and slippery cave. The marine fossils, stone pillars, stalagmites and other various cave sediments in the cave are natural geological classrooms. Qiaomu Tanyou's coaches will bring a vivid geological classroom in a real environment. Of course, there are more experience projects that need to be kept confidential. If you know everything in advance, it will be useless to explore the unknown fun. After completing the journey through the dark cave, we will come to the exit of a Tiandong, a cenote that is like a paradise. Here, Qiaomu Tanyou's coaches prepared a cave Afternoon Tea to replenish energy for everyone, so that you can relax and chat with your companions about the interesting things that just happened in the cave.Pingtang · 24.1 km from Luodian

Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Spot

4.7/5

Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Spot is located on the Guichun River along the China-Vietnam border in Guangxi. Here the border river meets a cliff, and the water drops in three tiers with a fall of about 60 m, facing Vietnam's Ban Gioc Waterfall across the cliff. In the rainy season, when the water is abundant, the two waterfalls almost merge into one, with a combined width of more than 200 m, and the roar can be heard across the valley. This is also one of the filming locations for the TV drama The Journey of Flower. The highlights of the visit mostly unfold around this border river: after passing through the Detian Archway, you can take a bamboo raft from the bank toward the foot of the waterfall, look up as the curtain of water crashes down from the cliff top and mist hits your face, and experience up close the unique atmosphere of two countries just a step apart on the border river; on the river, you can often encounter Vietnamese border residents rowing small bamboo rafts to sell coffee, dried fruit, and other small goods, and the bargaining has much of the fun of a cross-border market. After coming ashore, follow the waterfall-viewing boardwalk and the multi-level viewing platforms to look back at the full panorama of the waterfall from different heights. The No. 53 boundary marker, erected in the Qing Dynasty and inscribed with "China Guangxi Boundary," is a popular photo spot. The waterfall view changes noticeably with water volume: during the summer wet season, the water is surging and visually stunning, while in the dry season it is relatively delicate; bamboo raft docks have long queues during peak season, so if you want to view the waterfall up close, it is recommended to plan an early start; there is heavy mist on the bamboo raft, so remember to protect your phone and camera from water.China · Daxin
Huangguoshu Scenic Area

Huangguoshu Scenic Area

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.China · Zhenning

Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area

Libo Xiaoqikong Scenic Area is located among the peaks in the southern part of Libo County and is named after a seven-arch stone bridge built during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty over the Xiangshui River. Set against a karst landscape, the scenic area brings together mountains, waters, forests, caves, lakes, and waterfalls, and is known as the "emerald on the Earth's belt." The Xiaoqikong ancient bridge is the attraction's signature view. The seven-arch stone arch bridge, built of bluestone, spans the Xiangshui River. Beneath the bridge, the water of Hanbi Pond is deep blue, and ancient trees tower on both banks, making it a classic photo spot. Following the Xiangshui River downstream, the 68-tier waterfall cascades in overlapping layers, with the river water dropping step by step over the karst rock surface with a roaring sound. Nearby, the Laya Waterfall pours down from the cliff beside the path, and visitors can feel the mist on their faces up close. The water forest is another unique view in the attraction, where trees take root among the streams in the water. Visitors walk along the stone stepping path through the forest, with babbling water beneath their feet and a canopy of green shade overhead. Mandarin Duck Lake is formed by two large lakes, the Male Mandarin Duck Lake and the Female Mandarin Duck Lake, connected with several small lakes. The lake surface is emerald green and serene, and boats can pass through the trees growing in the water. Wolong Pond is the surface outlet of an underground karst river. An arc-shaped stone embankment encloses the underground river water into a deep pond, and the water is as green as jade. Where the water overflows the stone embankment, a rolling-water waterfall forms, creating a striking contrast between the still pond and the moving waterfall. The area around the attraction is home to ethnic minorities such as the Bouyei and Yao, and villages like Yaoshan Ancient Village retain traditional dwellings and ethnic customs, adding cultural richness to the natural scenery. The attractions are distributed along the Xiangshui River; touring from Wolong Pond and Yuanyang Lake all the way down to the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge, walking along the stream is relatively effortless.Libo · 97.9 km from Luodian

The first time I came to the Daxiaojing Scenic Area, it was very deserted. At that time, it was called the Daxiaojing Provincial Scenic Area. Now, I don't know why it has become a popular online attraction, but the word "provincial" has been removed. But anyway, the scenery here is still good, and the original ecology here is still preserved, although there are more people coming, it has become a little more lively.

The Hongshui River Scenic Area is still very beautiful, and the reflection of your water scenery is very beautiful. The scenery here is really beautiful. I would like to stay here for a while when I have time. The local life must be quite good.

A regular ticket is sufficient, as you'll find that there's simply not enough time to visit the paid attractions if you go at midday. Also, you must bring a film camera next to the Fast sign. It must be a battery-free film camera with manual metering. If possible, bring your own film, as film cameras at the attraction aren't cheap—300 yuan for 36 exposures.

A guide and a belayer lead 20 people; I personally think the number could be smaller, but otherwise it's a fantastic experience. One question I have is why caving in Guizhou is so expensive—it seems a bit exaggerated.

There is a Thousand Island Lake in Zhejiang, which almost everyone knows about, but few people know about the Thousand Island Scenic Area in Luodian. The beauty of the scenery of this place is not at all impressive, it just feels like it is hidden in a secluded place and unknown to the world.

Driving here, the experience exceeded my expectations! Taking the dedicated lane allowed me to get up close and experience the awe-inspiring FAST telescope. A professional guide provided explanations throughout, and I was captivated by the many scientific explanations behind it. Seeing this monumental national achievement with my own eyes was deeply moving and definitely worth the trip.

Aside from the water being a bit low when I went, everything else was fine. The boat ride past the waterfall was worth seeing, and the path to the viewing platform after disembarking was also okay. It was a bit commercialized but not overly so, and the facilities along the way blended well with the surrounding environment.

Huangguoshu Waterfall, Doupotang Waterfall, and Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall are all beautiful. We set off from Guiyang to Zhenning at around 6 a.m. The entire scenic area is divided into three parts, and we explored the whole area on foot in less than 6 hours! We also visited the Water Curtain Cave! The most beautiful part of Huangguoshu is the section with the Water Curtain Cave! If you don't go to the Water Curtain Cave, your trip is incomplete!

Libo Xiaoqikong, affectionately known as "Little Seventeen," is located at the border of Guizhou and Guangxi provinces. It is a World Natural Heritage site and a national 5A scenic area. It gets its name from the seven-arched ancient bridge that spanned the Xiangshui River during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, connecting the two provinces. Hidden within its secluded valleys are crystal-clear waters, dotted with Wolongtan (Sleeping Dragon Pool), a water forest, and a 68-tiered waterfall, earning it the reputation of "the emerald on the Earth's belt." The karst landscape is breathtakingly beautiful, with clear, sparkling waters.
