The scenery was beautiful. We were the first group to reach the Red Cloud Golden Summit. We didn't have to queue up and saw the clear blue sky and the endless sea of clouds. However, the weather changed quickly and it was foggy at 9 o'clock.
The first fairy mountain in Guizhou, the weather was not good when I went there, it was foggy and I couldn't see anything. Fortunately, I took a few photos when the fog dissipated for a while, otherwise it would have been a wasted trip. I suggest everyone to check the weather before going, as bad weather really affects the experience

Huangguoshu has three major attractions, and we chose the first one. We first chose Tianxing Bridge, which has a narrow first half and a second half. We walked the second half, but it was still quite spacious. It took us at least two hours to finally see the core attraction, and the UnionPay was the coolest. I think the scenery in this place is particularly unique. The steam was a bit comfortable, and there was almost no wind during the walk, so it was a bit stuffy in that weather. But it was worth it, because it is a magical power given by nature, otherwise you might never see it.
My dears, the Huangguoshu Scenic Area is truly worth a visit! It's home to Asia's largest waterfall, the Huangguoshu Waterfall. The scene is breathtaking, like the Milky Way bursting its banks. Standing before it, you feel incredibly small. Stepping into the Water Curtain Cave is like stepping into the world of "Journey to the West." And there's the Doupotang Waterfall, the setting for the filming of the film's ending theme song. It's gentle in the dry season, but roars like a giant dragon in the rainy season. The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is also incredible. The floating stone forest resembles a natural bonsai, with the perfect blend of rocks, water, and trees – it's truly magical. Trust me, you won't regret going!

The scenery is really good. Entering from the west gate, the upper half of the scenic area is not as good as the lower half. You still have to walk a lot. It is recommended that older people with poor health can visit fewer attractions. It is suitable for children who like to play in the water.
The Xiaoqikong Scenic Area is worth visiting, and it's best to go there early. We stayed next to the scenic area the day before and made an appointment at 7:30 in the morning, so it was still relatively empty. When we came out at around 11 o'clock, there were huge crowds of people queuing up to take the scenic area bus.

View: Located high above the Miao village, it's about a 10-minute walk from Bridge No. 6. The views are stunning, both day and night. The balcony has chairs for enjoying the view and a bathtub. This saves you the hassle of going to the surrounding terrace, especially during peak season when the shuttle bus lines can be long.
Environment: Clean and tidy, with all amenities, a large bed, and complimentary drinks, snacks, and fruit.
Service: Excellent. Customer service will add you on WeChat in advance to provide directions. Upon arrival, a housekeeper will meet you and carry your luggage. Luggage can also be stored when you leave.
It's a Miao village-style commercial area, with only dining, shopping, travel photography, and accommodation. It's a bit too expensive to enter a purely consumer ethnic town with such an expensive ticket. It's full of fireworks and brightly lit. At 10 o'clock in the evening, it was packed with people. The travel photography prices are uniform and cheap, and the operation is streamlined. I just treat it as cosplay.

I can't find the ticket purchase link on Ctrip. You have to scan the code to buy it locally. The discounted tickets I bought are still worth it, especially the Grand Canyon. It costs 20 yuan to take a boat tour at your own expense. It's nice to go through the canyon cave. There are still many people in Zhijin Cave. Several places are so narrow that only one person can pass through, so it's a bit slow. The scenery is still good, and it's worth the fare! We took the Haoxingwang through bus to the scenic area in the morning, around 9 o'clock. We first went to the Grand Canyon, which took an hour and a half, and then went to Zhijin Cave. We entered at 12:30 and came out at 2 o'clock. The cave was cool, but very dirty and muddy. There was nothing we could do. Everyone came out with their shoes and trouser legs splashed with mud. The bus left at around 3:20 and arrived in Guiyang at 5:40, ending the day's trip.
Zhijin Cave is my most recommended scenic spot in Guizhou. It is worthy of the saying "If you return to Zhijin, you won't miss the caves". The world inside the cave is a world of its own, and the magical power of nature is very shocking! !

Monumental natural arches. Makes you feel real small. The path is straightforward and easy to walk and enjoy the views.
This is very beautiful. It takes two hours to take the elderly to the Tiansheng Three Bridges and one and a half hours to the Difeng. When we went there, we were still worried that we would not have enough time. Here is my suggestion: it is best to hire a car to go to the Difeng first and then to the Tianyuan Three Bridges, so that there will be fewer people to play in the opposite direction.

The Yangtze River Cableway is a must-try, a unique feature of the mountain city of Chongqing. It was once the main mode of public transportation between the two areas of Chongqing, solving the problems of ferries being affected by weather and bus transfers being inconvenient, and was known as the "Mountain City Sky Bus."
What was once an ordinary means of transportation has now become a popular check-in and experience project. There are too many people and the waiting time is too long. I mainly want to bring my children to experience it.

Very good, very suitable for a family of four. This ticket can be refunded at any time. Thank you for the excellent travel service. Very good, very ...
It is still worth going. You can go for a cup of milk tea, and you can play all day after shopping. It is recommended to bring your own dry grain, a bottle of mineral water is enough, and there is a place for free water. [View] There are many types of animals, and you can see giant pandas, zebras, rhinos, etc. [Fun] Animals are very cute [Cost-effective] Super high, adult tickets are only 25r, student tickets are half price

Guizhou is a very distinctive place with unique architecture. It is a great place for taking photos and eating and drinking. It is an ancient military battlefield. Many people in Miao costumes check in and take photos there. It is worth a visit.
During the summer months, Qingyan Ancient Town is bustling with tourists. The shops lining the ancient streets are full of businesses, offering a warm welcome. The back streets are perfect for photoshoots, creating stunning photos. Climb the South Gate city wall for panoramic views of the ancient city, both inside and out.

We brought our kids with us on this trip, but unfortunately they weren't very interested in Yelang Valley. As an adult, I still think it's very interesting. The expressions of each stone statue are very rich and exaggerated. If you're tired of walking around and taking pictures, you can have a cup of coffee and browse the cultural and creative areas. It's not recommended to come at noon as it's a bit too hot to bear.
The place is not particularly big, but it is recommended to go in the morning or evening because you are looking at stones outdoors. The ultraviolet rays in Guizhou are still very strong. The stone people are very interesting. You can walk around and have a cup of coffee. There are many cultural and creative things inside and you can make them yourself. If you bring very young children, I don’t recommend it. Children don’t have anything particularly interesting. There is a small shop making mouth harps. The owner knows many traditional Chinese instruments, which is very interesting.
