November live report of Huangguoshu Waterfall

There are quite a few tourists even in the off-season, and the experience is excellent. You can easily visit three scenic spots in one day. Self-guided tours are highly feasible, easy, and risk-free. Take the 8:38 AM high-speed train from Guiyang North to Anshun West. No need to get up early. After getting off at Anshun West High-Speed Railway Station, there is a tourist bus to the entrance of the scenic area. The bus costs 22 yuan one way and tickets can be bought anytime. You can book the scenic area tickets in advance using Anlv Tong. The regular price is 230 yuan. With valid discount certificates, you only need to pay 50 yuan for the sightseeing bus (for those with mobility issues at the big waterfall, you can buy the escalator ticket, but there is no scenery on the escalator ride. You can also buy a one-way ticket later if you find walking difficult). There are luggage storage lockers at the exit of the high-speed rail station for 8 yuan per day, with a 20 yuan deposit (which must be manually refunded at the end). Store your luggage and travel light. The Big Waterfall, Tianxing Bridge, and Doutangpo can all be walked by young people without pressure. Difficulty ranking: Tianxing Bridge → Big Waterfall → Doutangpo. Tianxing Bridge is divided into upper and lower sections. Tour groups usually only cover the upper section, while the highlights are in the lower section. This is where self-guided tours have an advantage. The Big Waterfall includes the Water Curtain Cave. Due to narrow passages, the scenic area management requires advance QR code reservation. Raincoats are sold at the entrance for 2 yuan each, which can be used here. If you wear a hooded jacket, you don’t have to buy one; there is only a little mist and dripping water. Check out Gongding Tea; the matcha guava is delicious! The scenic area sells Huangguo fruit for 5 yuan each, which tastes like pomelo but is quite tasty. Highly recommend self-guided tours! (Return tickets can be bought on the spot; there are many high-speed train departures, so buying on the spot is more flexible.)
