Attraction introduction: This stop is Huangguoshu,Huangguoshu Waterfall located in Anshun, Guizhou. It is one of the largest waterfalls in Asia, over 100 meters wide with nearly 70 meters of drop. The waterfall plunges straight down, mist steaming, and the sound is like thunder—truly spectacular. Behind the waterfall is the Water Curtain Cave, which you can pass through and view the waterfall from inside—a unique experience. My understanding is that the waterfall is most spectacular during the wet season (summer), but since the mist is heavy and the ground is slippery, it's recommended to bring a raincoat or waterproof jacket; Wear non-slip shoes and watch your step.

Friendly reminder: There are many slippery mountain roads, so pay special attention to shifting your weight back and slowing down downhill. You may need a pair of knee pads.

It was listed as a World Natural Heritage site in 2018 and is the only habitat for the endangered Guizhou snub-nosed monkey. The Hongyun Golden Summit and Mushroom Rock are iconic sights. The sea of clouds and sunrise look like a fairyland, making it a sacred place close to pristine ecology. My understanding is that sunrises and sea of clouds on the mountain are rare and hard to come by; if you focus your anticipation on the process, unexpected delights often follow.

Zhenyuan Ancient Town is located in southeastern Guizhou, where the Wuyang River flows in an S-shaped shape, forming a natural "Taiji Diagram" with a history of over two thousand years. The ancient Qinglong Cave architectural complex combines the three teachings and hangs on the cliff wall, with the "crooked and unorthodox streets" of the residences giving it a unique charm.

Attraction introduction: Today's itinerary includes Libo, located in southern Guizhou, known for its large and small seven arches. The water forest, 68-level cascading waterfall, and Wolong Pool resemble a fairyland, earning it the title "Emerald on the Earth's Belt" and a World Natural Heritage site. Here, mountains and water blend and the air is fresh, making it Guizhou's most famous karst landscape. My understanding is that the small seven arches involve a lot of walking and the bridge is slippery, so be sure to wear non-slip shoes; The scenic area is large, so reserve a whole day to enjoy it slowly.

Attraction introduction: One highlight of the itinerary is Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. Located in southeastern Qiandong, Guizhou, it is the largest Miao ethnic village in the world, with thousands of stilted houses stacked layer upon layer on the mountain. At night, thousands of lights illuminate the city like stars, creating a spectacular scene. Here, you can experience Miao long table banquets, silver decorations, and singing and dancing, immersing yourself in the rich Miao culture. My understanding is that you must stay overnight to enjoy the night view; the sparks of lanterns are the soul of Xijiang; The morning mist in the Miao village is also beautiful—don't oversleep.
