Things to do in Puding

It was really fun, but also very tiring.

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.

I've visited Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area three times over 30 years. It's considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Asia, and the town of Huangguoshu is also quite well-developed. Although the water flow was lower this year, it was still incredibly magnificent, powerful, and thunderous. This time, I had the opportunity to fully appreciate the unique features of the waterfalls in all three sections. If the main waterfall is the head of the family, powerful and imposing, then the upstream Doupotang Waterfall is the steady son, refined and elegant, while the downstream Yinlian Waterfall is the emerald green jade, endlessly captivating and always brimming with charm!

Similar to ancient cities across the country, the ancient city is not big, there is no one during the day, it is very quiet, very close to the city center, but far from the high-speed rail station, it takes more than 20 minutes by taxi, and it is also a famous attraction in Anshun

Nestled amidst karst peaks, the village of stone houses is rustic and tranquil, with rice paddies and green mountains creating a picturesque scene. The Ming Dynasty stone arch bridge, covered in vines, bears witness to the vicissitudes of time. Stone walls, stone tiles, and stone millstones showcase the characteristics of a "stone architecture museum." The ox horn bronze drum sculpture at the entrance conveys a rich Buyi ethnic culture. Overall, it is a well-preserved original ecological ethnic village.
