Why can't the cable car be installed at a higher point? After getting off, it's an hour's climb to reach Mushroom Rock. The scenery is beautiful, but it's not friendly to the elderly or tourists with mobility issues. Climbing to Mushroom Rock is too exhausting; the Golden Summit is only good for viewing.
Supporting worthwhile tourist attractions.
Sundays and Mondays are generally less crowded, so we chose the right days. Therefore, on Sunday, October 26th, we didn't need to queue for the cable car or make reservations for the Red Cloud Golden Summit at Fanjingshan. Foreign tourists aged 65 and above receive free admission. We pre-purchased adult tickets on Ctrip and successfully received a refund at the ticket office on the day of the visit.

Huangguoshu Scenic Area is worth a visit, with its spectacular waterfalls! In addition, water flows over rocks, trees grow on rocks, and there are ancient banyan trees that are hundreds of years old, with their exposed roots tightly wrapped around huge rocks.
Huangguoshu Waterfall truly lives up to its reputation as a scenic spot and is well worth a visit. Although there are many local vendors selling goods nearby, they are not overbearing, and the vendors seem quite passionate about their work. Overall, it's a great tourist experience with reasonable prices. Huangguoshu Waterfall is actually not just one attraction; it comprises several natural sites. While the main waterfall is the most spectacular, if you have time, exploring the smaller waterfalls and trails is also quite enjoyable. A full afternoon is sufficient for a proper visit (within the scenic area only, excluding transportation).

The scenic area is well-planned and well-equipped, with convenient transportation. It is worth mentioning that the toilets are clean, the faucets can be used normally, and even the hand sanitizer is not mixed with water. The experience is excellent
The Xiaoqikong Bridge is the landmark building of the scenic area. The bridge body is made of granite strips and is covered with vines; the Laya Waterfall originates from a cave spring in the mountain. It is 10 meters wide and has a drop of more than 30 meters, with water mist floating in the air; the 68-level waterfall is located in the Xiangshui River Valley, with a total length of about 1.6 kilometers and a total drop of about 110 meters. The waterfalls are densely packed and rare in China; the trees in the water forest are all rooted in the stubborn rocks in the water; the water in the Wolong Pond is deep blue-green and has a beautiful rolling waterfall.

The hotel environment is fantastic, with stunning views. The night view and the view of the Miao village from the balcony in the early morning are particularly beautiful. Since it was the off-season, the manager even upgraded our room for free. The service was also excellent; a young man picked up our luggage at the North Gate. The room had a smart toilet, bathtub, capsule coffee machine, and the bathtub had disposable liners and mugwort bath packs. Most importantly, the minced meat noodles for breakfast were incredibly delicious!!! Five stars!!!
My second visit to the Miao village was the same as before, but with the rain, it felt even more dramatic. The price of five-color sticky rice had doubled, which is normal! Prices outside have been rising for a few years now.

Walking into the Three Natural Bridges is like stepping into a geological wonder sculpted by nature over millions of years. Three natural stone bridges span a deep canyon, their mottled rock formations holding ancient secrets. Sunlight streams through the bridge holes, casting shimmering patterns on the bluestone slabs at the bottom of the valley. The gurgling stream at the bottom of the valley contrasts beautifully with the chirping of birds among the rock faces. Looking up, you'll be greeted by the vast expanse of the narrow sky, while looking down, you'll be greeted by the tranquility of moss-covered rocks. Every step you take is like a conversation with the Earth billions of years ago, and every photo you take is a stunning moment in time. The experience is truly captivating, and the guided tours along the way are beautiful and highly recommended.

Chongqing's "sky bus" lives up to its name! The 6-minute journey across the river is incredibly smooth, with a gentle breeze on your face, the river flowing beneath your feet, and skyscrapers and old streets lining both banks creating stunning panoramic views – every shot is a masterpiece. Advance booking means no long waits; this magical mountain city experience is well worth it!
We took the cable car at the South Station. There was a tour group in front of us, but we were individual travelers. After waiting in line for a while, we got on the cable car. There weren't many people, and the sightseeing experience was quite good.

Zhijin Cave Tour Guide: We recommend visiting in the morning to avoid crowds and bring warm clothing, as the temperature inside the cave is a constant 16°C. Must-see attractions include the Overlord's Helmet and the Silver Rain Tree. The entire walk takes about two hours. After exiting the cave, be sure to stop at the observation deck for a breathtaking view of the surrounding karst landscape.
A visit to Zhijin Cave in Bijie was truly breathtaking. They say, "After visiting the Five Sacred Mountains, you can't see any other mountains, and after visiting Zhijin Cave, you can't see any more caves." Zhijin Cave is incredibly vast, and the scenery inside is truly unique. The stalactites are incredibly diverse and breathtaking. Don't miss Zhijin Cave when visiting Guiyang. Experience this wonder of the world for yourself and you'll leave with no regrets.

It’s really worth to pay a visit to Chongqing zoo. Value for money. It’s really very chill at Chongqing zoo during this autumn season. Can see a lot of active pandas 🐼. One of my favorite places in Chongqing. The only issue is zoo F & B and merchandise stores are pricy compared to outside. But overall enjoy a lot. Coffee near the panda place not bad but pricy 😜
Quite alot of pandas available in this zoo. It's cool. Cheap and value for the ticket.

I have visited so many ancient towns all over the country, and Qingyan Ancient Town is one of the most distinctive ones. It has scenery surrounded by mountains and rivers, and its towering ancient city walls are very dangerous. It has the charm of a frontier town.
It feels like all ancient towns are the same now, with no distinctive features. The shopping malls are rarely visited, but what makes it different from other ancient towns is that you can climb the city walls, which feels like the Great Wall. Food is very cheap, with sugarcane juice at the entrance only 7 yuan a cup, and the set meal at "South City Old Things" is 38 yuan, which is more than one person can finish!

This man-made kingdom boasts Yelang statues in various poses, mountains and water, numerous restrooms, cafes and teahouses, a market for ugly things, special performances at noon, a character cartoonist, and what appears to be a clay sculpture workshop (though I didn't see any people there on Sunday). The deliberately uneven cobblestone path might deter some elderly people.
It's a great place for fun and photos.
This is a MUST-SEE place in Guiyang. Buying tickets on Trip.com was easy. Lots of autumn decorations were up too
