Guest UserAt the beginning of the month, my travel companion, “Peking Duck” (my child), and I explored four small cities in Guizhou – Guiyang, Anshun, Bijie, and Xingyi. We thoroughly experienced the karst landscapes, caves, waterfalls, and pastoral scenery, all in a comfortably cool climate. Here's a comprehensive guide to share with everyone!
⭕️ Guizhou Geological Museum (reservations required, closed on Mondays, last admission at 4 PM): You can book a guided tour with fossil restoration activities, which is very interesting.
⭕️ Qingyun Market: A great place to eat and explore (definitely try Guiyang's Sour Soup Hotpot – the flavor is unique compared to other regions).
⭕️ Yelang Valley (watch Nuo opera, two shows daily: 12:00-12:30 PM and 3:00-3:30 PM. Kids who enjoy crafts can try plant carving).
⭕️ I personally don't recommend Zhijin Cave for families with young children or the elderly! However, Zhijin Grand Canyon is highly recommended. Enter via the elevator, and the entire route is a downhill walk, making it very lazy-friendly. The scenic beauty is truly impressive and worth a visit!
⭕️ Guizhou Guanling National Fossil Group Geological Park (the fossil digging area is open, but the museum area will open in late July).
⭕️ Huangguoshu Waterfall (‼️ Water Curtain Cave requires reservations and raincoats are a must!). For a lazy-friendly approach: take the round-trip elevator and capture a panoramic shot from above. If you're not up for a lot of walking, you can skip Tianxing Bridge; seeing the main waterfall is breathtaking enough! And a shout-out to the park staff – every restroom is spotless, some even have toilet seat covers!
⭕️ Fenglin Buyi (consider going in the evening when the lights are on – the scenery is even more beautiful. You can experience Buyi culture, songs and dances, iron flower performances, and other unique shows. There are many fun NPC mini-games in the scenic area. Watching the iron flower show from a boat offers a more direct and spectacular view).
⭕️ Kids will absolutely love a full day at Wanfenglin! Fishing, mini-train rides, woodworking, tie-dyeing, fruit picking, making Ciba (sticky rice cakes), and so much more – they'll never want to leave! When they get tired, relaxing at a popular cafe is pure bliss!
⭕️ Maling River Canyon (known as 'the most beautiful scar on Earth.' The scenic area closes at 5:30 PM. For an aerial view, navigate to 'Maling River Canyon Parking Lot 2').
Tips:
‼️ Guizhou attractions can be physically demanding. If you're traveling with children and have limited stamina, opt for lazy-friendly routes.
‼️ Mornings and evenings are cool, but it can be quite sunny during other times, so bring plenty of sunscreen and mosquito repellent.
‼️ Some attractions require advance reservations, so plan your itinerary accordingly!
‼️ Bring raincoats for Maling River and Huangguoshu, and wear non-slip shoes.
‼️ For Zhijin Cave, avoid wearing long pants or white shoes as it can get muddy! The cave temperature is around 10 degrees Celsius, so bring a jacket.
Among the hotels we stayed at, 'Peking Duck' loved the Huangguoshu Kaiyuan Manju Hotel the most. It offers many parent-child activities, new facilities, and delicious dining!
We enjoyed a cool summer with temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius throughout our trip, without any high-intensity rushing. We experienced city life, majestic gorges and waterfalls, underground marvels, pastoral peak forests, and ethnic minority customs all at once. The best classroom is always on the road; what you see with your own eyes is far more memorable than what you read in books. It’s time to get out there with the kids!

Guest UserThis trip, I brought my parents along for a long-awaited visit to Huangguoshu Waterfall. To avoid them getting too tired, I decided to book an extra day to explore at a leisurely pace. The hotel's location, right next to the scenic area, immediately caught my eye when I was searching for accommodation. I loved its resort-style vibe, and the reviews mentioned a rich breakfast spread. Plus, they offered shuttle services to and from the station and the scenic area, all at a reasonable price, so I booked it right away.
As soon as we arrived at the Huangguoshu scenic area, the hotel's front desk staff arranged for a driver to pick us up. Everyone was incredibly polite, and the service was attentive and thoughtful. It truly lives up to the standards of a resort hotel; I was genuinely impressed by the room's view and its spaciousness. All the amenities were also very comprehensive. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with some noodle dishes incorporating local specialties, allowing me to get a taste of the local sour soup noodles since I didn't have time to venture out for food. A big thank you to the front desk lady who also gave us a ride to the scenic area!

The room was OK. I booked a room without window. There was a reason why I couldn't upgrade. The front desk 015 arranged a better room for me.

Guest UserOverall, it was a fantastic stay. Not only were the rooms clean and tidy, but the service was exceptional. From the moment I entered the hotel, the receptionist was all smiles, and even the housekeeping staff were incredibly welcoming. The breakfast was also plentiful, and while I was relaxing in the lounge area, a staff member even made me tea. I never expected this hotel in such a small town to surprise me so much! This will definitely be my first choice next time I'm in the area.

The store opened by myself is simple and kind, clearly priced, and hospitable. I came to Guizhou for the first time and Huangguoshu for the first time. I thought I would slaughter customers. I was worried. The people here are really kind and have a good temper. The hotel restaurant is also the food made by the boss himself. Going to the scenic spot is also picked up and sent by the boss's family, I am really relieved. When I picked us up, I asked the boss to find a place to eat and put us down. The boss agreed. Because I was too tired, I asked more. I said that the boss has dinner at your house. The boss said yes, but he will not take the initiative to recommend it. I am afraid that you think we deliberately solicit business and deceive people. If you order more dishes, you will also tell you that we are afraid that we can't eat it, so that passengers can rest assured, and the main one is ”reassurance”.

Guest UserReaching the end of the watercourse, one can sit and watch the clouds rise. A chance encounter with a breathtaking mountain view captivates the heart at first sight.
A secluded haven near Huangguoshu Waterfall offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and understated luxury. The guesthouse is built into the mountainside, offering a panoramic view of the magnificent Baling River Bridge, with an infinity pool reflecting the rolling green hills. Awaken to birdsong in the morning, and be greeted by mist-shrouded mountains from your window; at dusk, wait for the sunset on the terrace, watching the evening glow paint the sky. The rooms feature warm and elegant wooden interiors, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the landscape. The butler service is attentive and meticulous, and the meals are authentic and comforting. Escape the hustle and bustle, fall asleep to the mountain scenery – this is the most healing way to experience Guizhou.

WangnalapuchuzhuangwangMy trip to Huangguoshu and stay at Boying Hotel was fantastic! The staff were warm and attentive. The decor was unique. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean, with soft bedding and complete amenities. The location is convenient – just 800 meters from the scenic area entrance, and there are many local restaurants nearby with delicious food. Plus, it's incredibly cost-effective; compared to other hotels in the area, the price is affordable while enjoying high-quality service. Highly recommended!

The homestay is very comfortable. We have two adults and two children staying in it. The beds in the rooms are all 1.5, which is more spacious than other hotels. The owner of the B&B was very enthusiastic and took us to scenic spots several times. You can eat downstairs, the food is delicious! Recommended for those who go to Huangguoshu Waterfall. The B&B also has a swimming pool, which the children like very much.

The hotel is conveniently located close to restaurants and shops and the main bus station. The check in was one of the fastest I ever experienced in China and the ladies at the reception were very nice! I was even allowed to take a shower after a running race even though it was already past the checkout time.
The room was spacious and bright, there was no cigarette smoke smell. But it desperately needs a deep clean. The bed sheets and towels were clean though and that's the most important. Recommend it if you're looking for a simple budget stay.
