Today's mission: Step into the "Huangguoshu Waterfall" from the elementary school textbook

Today's mission: Check in at the Huangguoshu Waterfall just like in the elementary school textbook! 🏞️ 📍 Location: Zhenning Buyei and Miao Autonomous County, Anshun City, Guizhou Province 🚗 Travel tips: 1.5 hours drive from Guiyang, recommend starting early to avoid crowds~ 🌟 One-day tour highlights: 🌞 Morning (9:30-12:00) · Main waterfall area ✅ Huangguoshu Main Waterfall: The elementary school textbook scene right before your eyes! When the water volume is high, it’s truly breathtaking, with mist and rainbows that are stunningly beautiful 🌈 ✅ Water Curtain Cave: Walk through the same water curtain as in Journey to the West (advance reservation required!) 👉 Tickets: 260 RMB in peak season including all sightseeing buses and escalators, great value! 🍗 Lunch time (12:30-13:30) There are snack stalls in the scenic area, but bringing your own food is more cost-effective~ ps. Boiled corn 10 RMB each, just for price reference 🤭 🌊 Afternoon (14:00-16:00) · Tianxingqiao Secret Realm ✅ Silver Chain Waterfall: The Milky Way falling to earth right before your eyes ✨ (focus on the second half of the route!) ✅ Life Number Steps: 365 stones, find your birthday, super fun 📅 🌈 Evening (16:30-17:30) · Doupotang Nostalgia ✅ Filming location for the ending scene of the 1986 version of Journey to the West! ✅ 105-meter super wide waterfall + stunning sunset 🌄 (light is softest after 4 PM) 📸 Photo guide: 1️⃣ Silhouette shots at the Water Curtain Cave window, dreamy vibes maxed out 💯 2️⃣ Wide-angle panoramic shots from the waterfall viewing platform, waterfalls are more spectacular in the rainy season! 3️⃣ Afternoon front light at Doupotang, better shots under the blue sky 📷 ⚠️ Important tips: ☑️ Must-have non-slip shoes! The Water Curtain Cave floor is like an ice rink ⛸️ ☑️ Water volume is highest from June to August (bring raincoat/waterproof cover) ☑️ The scenic area is huge, buying the sightseeing bus ticket saves your legs 💪 💭 Personal experience: The moment standing under the waterfall, I instantly understood Li Bai! The Water Curtain Cave adventure is super fun, though the queue is a bit long 😂 But when I saw the rainbow, it was all worth it! Truly the most beautiful waterfall in China~
