Maybe it was my second time to Huangguoshu, I felt that there were too many people, I was in a hurry, very tired, and I didn&#39;t seem to have that shocking feeling. The package ticket was 260/person, which was expensive.

The scenery of Huangguoshu Waterfall is okay, but the car change is too many times. It takes more than 20 minutes to get from the parking lot to the ticket service center. There is a shuttle bus to go in and out several times. It is also quite chaotic to go up the escalator.

Thanks to tour guide Liu Panpan and Master Wu for bringing us such a pleasant trip experience on this trip to Huangguoshu Waterfall. The explanation was clear and helped us avoid many things that need to be paid attention to during the tour. While having fun, we also learned a lot about Guizhou&#39;s customs and culture during the trip. Master Wu&#39;s driving skills are also 66666, and I, who am carsick, did not feel uncomfortable. Help Guizhou&#39;s tourism industry to flourish and get better and better, and drive more Chinese people to become rich together.

July is the flood season, and the scenery is beautiful, but you must avoid the crowds. The first method is to buy a VIP ticket, so you don&#39;t have to queue up at the visitor center to wait for the bus. The VIP boarding and alighting area is also deeper into the scenic area than the ordinary ticket. The second method is to get up early and go to the visitor center to catch the first wave of buses departing at 6:30, and arrive at the Great Falls Scenic Area around 7 o&#39;clock. It is recommended to walk along the walking path after entering the scenic area, along the mountain road opposite the waterfall, the waterfall can be appreciated from far to near, and there are not many people when you go early. After reaching the third viewing platform, go forward, the road to the Water Curtain Cave and the fourth and fifth viewing platforms is closed because of the flood season. You can walk down to the foot of the waterfall to watch and take pictures. Going back, the most labor-saving thing is to buy a 30-yuan escalator ticket and take it. It will be a little after 8 o&#39;clock when you get back to the VIP boarding point, so you can have snacks and fruits. Go to Doupotang for 20-30 minutes, and then you can return to the visitor center at 9 o&#39;clock to eat beef noodles, mutton noodles or Changwang noodles on the side of Xinbin Road.

1⃣Buy tickets
You can buy them on the &quot;Huangguoshu Scenic Area&quot; WeChat account.
The full ticket price is 250 yuan/person (150 yuan for tickets + 50 yuan for sightseeing bus + 50 yuan for round-trip escalator), but starting from March 1, the price is 260 yuan/person, and the peak season ticket price has increased by 10 yuan.
The round-trip escalator is only used at the Great Falls, and friends with poor physical strength or bad knees are recommended to buy it.

2⃣Travel
From Guiyang to Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area, the high-speed rail goes back and forth on the same day.
🚅The high-speed rail from Guiyang North to Anshun West at 9:33 am on the outbound journey is quite frequent, so you don&#39;t have to rush to buy it in advance, and buy it when you see the time to leave the scenic area. I left the scenic area 2 hours later than expected😂, and finally bought the high-speed rail from Anshun West to Guiyang North at 6:39 pm. The journey takes 30 minutes and the ticket price is 46 yuan.
🚌After exiting the high-speed railway station, follow the instructions of the staff wearing red vests and take the bus to the scenic area direct bus at the bus station, which is more formal and safer. There are many private/private scenic area direct buses at the exit, and the boarding points are closer than the bus station. Don&#39;t mistake them for them, look for the red vests! The journey takes 40 minutes and the ticket price is 22 yuan/person.
🚌After getting off the bus, walk to the scenic area ticket office and take the scenic area sightseeing bus to the corresponding scenic spot. I went to the Big Waterfall Scenic Area.

3⃣ Tour route
Big Waterfall&rarr;Tianxing Bridge&rarr;Doupotang
✅Big Waterfall
I bought a round-trip escalator ticket and only went to the viewing platform under the escalator. There are still some steps after getting off the escalator. It is difficult to go down the stairs with a bad knee. It still took 1.5 hours at this scenic spot😂

✅Tianxing Bridge
There is a water outage notice on the official account. Some of the landscapes along the way have indeed stopped water, but if you go deeper, including the Silver Chain Pendant Pond, there is water.
Only walked the second half. After getting off the sightseeing bus, do not check the ticket to enter the scenic area. Go to the left side facing the ticket gate, go up to the second floor and walk to the end, you can see the sign for the entrance of the second half.
There are many steps to the entrance of the second half, and there are more steps from the entrance of the second half to the Silver Chain Pendant Pond😭 It is too unfriendly to people with bad knees😭 It takes 2 hours for the second half one way. My time should not be of reference value to everyone, because I walk very slowly. The young lady who walked to the exit at the same time and I said that they finished in 1 hour and 10 minutes.
The cable car from Silver Chain Pendant Pond to the exit was closed for maintenance. It was all stairs from there to the exit, which felt a bit like a stretch.
When I was sitting on the sightseeing bus, I found that the sightseeing bus arrived at the entrance of the second half in a few minutes. At that time, I couldn&#39;t help but wonder, why there is only a sightseeing bus from the Yinlianzhui Pond to the exit, but no sightseeing bus from the exit to the Yinlianzhui Pond. I would rather run back empty than carry people. What are they thinking😭

✅Chenpotang
This waterfall is the only attraction where you can see the target waterfall without walking to the end! When walking, I suddenly saw Chenpotang Waterfall. Many tourists around me said &quot;That&#39;s it?&quot; after seeing the waterfall😂, indeed, after seeing the big waterfall, I came to see this one. The drop is a bit big😂 After seeing it, I returned to the exit by the same route. I didn&#39;t walk a full circle, and it took a total of 30 minutes.

A magnificent journey through the clouds and touching the sky. Standing at one end of the bridge, you can almost hear the whisper of the wind. Its beauty lies in the impressive height of 370 meters. Every time you look up, you pay tribute to the limit.

Guizhou Province Baling River Bridge Museum is next to the Baling River Bridge. After reading the introduction of the museum (free), you can stand on the viewing platform outside the museum to see the panoramic view of the Baling River Bridge from a distance. Then you can walk down the steps to the bridge head elevator, or drive to the parking lot of the bridge bungee jumping point and walk up to the elevator. It is the same place and very close. The ticket for sightseeing on the bridge is 100 yuan. Take the elevator to the sixth floor, that is, enter the belly of the bridge. Climb a few stairs (not many) to the corridor in the steel truss. The protective net and other protective facilities are complete and safe! The G60 highway is overhead, and the vehicles are rumbling. Although the sound is loud, it does not hinder sightseeing. You can walk slowly until you reach the U-turn, return to the elevator from the opposite corridor, and take the elevator back to the exit. One circle is about 4,000 steps. The bridge connects Guanling County and Zhenning County from east to west. There is a corridor on the north and south sides of the bridge, so you can turn around or turn back halfway. There are various activities about the middle of the bridge: bungee jumping (3,000 yuan including tickets), skydiving (2,000 yuan including tickets), skywalking (150 yuan, excluding tickets), sky restaurant, etc. The 100 yuan sightseeing ticket is worth experiencing. There is a public toilet outside the elevator entrance. It is recommended to flush the toilet in advance. There is no place to go to the bathroom on the bridge, especially for young and old tourists. Nearby attractions: Hongya Tianshu, Dishuitan Waterfall, Huangguoshu Waterfall, Guanling Fossil National Geological Park, etc.
