D1: Arrival in Guiyang, "The Forest City"

Arrive at Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport or the High-Speed Rail Station. Guiyang is known as "The Forest City" for its cool summers and abundant green vegetation. You will be met by a private vehicle and transferred to your hotel. Please note that guests arriving within similar time slots (within 2 hours) will share a vehicle, which may involve a short waiting time. 


The afternoon is at your leisure. We recommend resting at the hotel or exploring nearby amenities to conserve energy for the upcoming journey. Guiyang city center boasts many snack streets where you can independently explore local, authentic delicacies like Suantang (Sour Soup) and Siwawa (Silk Dolls) to get a first taste of Guizhou flavors.

D2: Guiyang → Anshun (Approx. 2 hours by car): Huangguoshu Waterfalls

After breakfast, drive to the core of Asia's largest waterfall cluster, Huangguoshu Waterfall (utilizing the scenic area's eco-friendly bus and round-trip escalators for efficient and easy sightseeing). At the viewing platform, experience the magnificent force of the 77.8-meter-high, 101-meter-wide waterfall thundering down.


  • Water Curtain Cave Experience: If water flow and weather permit, you will pass through the Water Curtain Cave, hidden behind the waterfall. This is a rare opportunity to view the water flow from within, feeling its deafening sound and the ethereal mist.

  • Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area: Known as a "miniature bonsai," this area features more exquisite and beautiful scenery. Visit the famous "Stone Forest on Water," where the stone path you walk on is surrounded by flowing water, like traversing a maze. Admire the gentle and graceful "Silver Chain Dropping Pool Waterfall," which resembles thousands of silver chains pouring into a deep pool.

  • Doupotang Waterfall: This is the widest waterfall in the cluster, named for its broad and flat top. It's also the nostalgic location where the ending theme of the classic TV series Journey to the West was filmed.

  • Shitou Village (Stone Village): On the return journey, we will drive past this Buyi ethnic minority village to observe the traditional wisdom and simple aesthetics of the Buyi people, who use local, unique stone materials to construct their homes.
