Tianhetan Tourist Resort

#November Destinations 2025 Tianhetan Tourist Resort is located in Shiban Town, Huaxi District, Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, only 24 kilometers from the city center. It is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, known as the "Little Li River of Guizhou." The resort features karst landforms, integrating waterfalls, caves, canyons, travertine terraces, and natural bridges. The most famous is the over 800-meter-long water-eroded cave, "Tianhetan Cave," where boats can explore deep inside, admiring ancient stalactites and gazing at the clear water reflecting in the pool below—a truly immersive experience. Above ground, the stream flows along the clear travertine terraces, flanked by verdant mountains and bamboo groves, with cascading waterfalls. The most representative is the "Tianhetan Waterfall," with a drop of over 30 meters, creating a magnificent spectacle. The resort also features reconstructed cultural landscapes such as "Xia Ke Ju," the former residence of the Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake, a Miao ethnic village, and the largest Zhu Xi calligraphy cliff inscription in Guizhou. This place is beautiful year-round: azaleas in spring, clear springs in summer, red maples in autumn, and icefalls in winter. It offers thrilling ziplining and canyon rafting, as well as tranquil pastoral scenery and ethnic customs, earning it the title of "the closest Shangri-La to Guiyang" among tourists. Covering approximately 12 square kilometers, it's a top choice for Guiyang residents' weekend getaways and family trips.
