My trip to Huangguoshu during the May Day holiday was amazing, and the guesthouse I booked greatly enhanced the experience. It's only a little over a kilometer from the scenic area, right next to the wetland park – a fantastic location. A relatively new establishment opened in 2026, the family room I booked was exceptionally clean and refreshing, with a cozy atmosphere and all the necessary amenities, making for a very comfortable stay. The owners were incredibly kind and hospitable, providing free shuttle service to and from the scenic area and even preparing breakfast each morning. We lost track of time playing so much that we got back very late, and the owners even called to check on our safety – truly heartwarming. It felt like staying at relatives' house – so comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Huangguoshu!

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!

The front desk staff member was very warm and attentive. Since it was the off-season and there were available rooms, they kindly offered a free room upgrade and even added an extra breakfast to our original booking. The underground parking had plenty of spaces. The hotel is conveniently located just over two kilometers by car from the scenic area's visitor center parking lot. If you don't have a car, the hotel also provides a free shuttle service to the scenic area. During my stay, they could drop guests off anytime after 7:30 AM; for other seasons, you can inquire at the front desk about specific times. The room was spacious, and when we needed extra amenities, the housekeeping staff delivered them promptly and with great enthusiasm and patience. The hotel has a restaurant, and for a hotel near a scenic spot, the prices were reasonable, and the food was good too.

I stumbled upon this hotel on Ctrip and was pleasantly surprised. The entire interior is designed to be very photogenic. You can take photos with you at any time. There is also a Go game for children. There is also a tea room with a very stylish atmosphere. The front desk lady also gave us some fruit. We had dinner at the hotel and the children loved it. They ate all the dishes clean. I will definitely come back with friends next time.

Guest UserThe hotel facilities, from the spacious lobby and clean rooms to the convenient location near the scenic area, were very satisfactory. In particular, the hotel owners, a couple whose kindness is truly exemplary and rare these days, were remarkable. Yesterday, my wife, who is over seventy, slipped and fell on the street, spraining her ankle. Upon returning to the hotel, the owners, seeing our condition, took every possible step to help us. They even put aside their business and personally traveled fifty kilometers to Anshun People's Hospital to register us and find a doctor. We were just ordinary tourists, having traveled a long way to witness the magnificent Huangguoshu Waterfall, and our chance encounter with the hotel owners was truly unexpected and fortunate! May these kind people live a long and peaceful life, and may the Huangguoshu Nuomanqi Hotel be filled with guests and enjoy prosperous business!

Guest UserWe got off the bus at Huangguoshu New Town for lunch, called the hotel owner to book a room, and were picked up and taken to the hotel. We rested and planned to visit Huangguoshu Waterfall. We mentioned our desire to go to Huangguoshu and were taken there directly. The hotel also recommended nearby restaurants and fun places. We booked two nights in a row, and the owner even gave us a complimentary ticket to Yelang Cave. It was fantastic. The room was clean and odorless, and the service was excellent. I enjoyed both the food and the fun.
