Things to do in Ceheng

Tianhetan is definitely worth a visit, especially the boat ride through the water-eroded cave – the experience is fantastic. For those who don't have enough time in Guiyang but still want to see some natural scenery, this is a great choice. It's like a miniature version of Guizhou, combining waterfalls and karst caves. While it may not be the most spectacular or breathtaking, the experience is just as good.

The scenic area is picturesque, tranquil, and serene, which I personally enjoyed. Its charm lies not in its entertainment value, but in its breathtaking scenery. The core area is relatively small, but visually, the distant, layered mountains blend seamlessly into the landscape.

I think this is pretty good. We went to Sandieling first, which is very close to here. Then we came in around noon. There are mountains, water, waterfalls, caves, and rafting. We chose the free rafting option, which is best enjoyed on your own, especially if you're not elderly. You can take your time taking photos and exploring.

It's worth a visit, though quite tiring; we probably took the easiest route. From the visitor center, take the sightseeing bus to the scenic area entrance, then walk one kilometer along the river to Longmen Waterfall. Take the elevator up, then walk 800 meters to Tianchi for the boat tour. Take the boat into the Dragon Palace twice, but don't get off at the second entrance (from there you have to walk an hour and a half to Xuantang). Return by boat to Tianchi, then walk to the scenic area exit, then another kilometer through Buyi Town to the sightseeing bus station. Take the sightseeing bus back to the visitor center. The whole trip takes about three and a half hours.

It's very beautiful and takes great photos. It's so picturesque that you'll want to stay forever. We spent a long time there. The only downside was that it was very crowded when we went, with long queues to go up the mountain. Also, be careful with your car; the slope is very steep, and it's definitely difficult for most cars to climb. I heard that cars aren't allowed to go any further in now, but I have to say the scenery is absolutely gorgeous.

During summer vacation, I went there with my friends and their kids. We arrived early, so we found a terrace for dinner with a view of the water. There was a performance on the water in the evening. The natural scenery of mountains and water combined with the man-made architecture created a great atmosphere 👍 The only downside was that eating outdoors meant that mosquitoes were unavoidable at night, especially in a place like Guizhou with a relatively good ecological environment.

We went as a family during the National Day holiday, and it was a lot of fun. The light show and the iron flower display at night were beautiful. I accompanied my parents, who are over 70 years old. There were some steps in the scenic area, which were a bit tiring for their legs, but we could manage by walking slowly. The whole family was very happy.

The scenic area was beautiful, the itinerary was well-planned and reasonable, and the experience was fantastic, exceeding expectations. Driver Zhu drove steadily and safely, skillfully and reliably, with a warm and enthusiastic attitude and excellent service. We had a wonderful time and would definitely choose this company again for our next trip.

October isn't the best season; the lotus flowers are in bloom and not yet fully ripe. The entire route mainly involves sitting on a boat, and the boat services are infrequent with long wait times. The included shuttle bus service is also too limited; if you want to see more points, you'll have to walk.
