Huangguoshu Scenic Area

9
4.6/5
40.3k reviews

The Huangguoshu Scenic Area is located in Anshun, Guizhou, centered around the Huangguoshu Waterfall. Surrounded by deep gorges, dense vegetation, and dotted with limestone caves and stone forests, it is a typical karst landscape area. The waterfall's name originates from the locally abundant "Huangguoshu" (Ficus virens). Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake visited and documented this site, contributing to its fame. The scenic area primarily consists of three main sections: the Great Waterfall, Tianxing Bridge, and Doupotang. Most travelers follow the sequence of Doupotang, Tianxing Bridge, and finally the Great Waterfall, saving the most spectacular view for last. The grand waterfall has a drop of nearly 80 m and a width of over 100 m. The Baishui River plunges from the cliff top into Rhinoceros Pool, creating a vast mist. Multiple viewing platforms around it allow visitors to experience its grandeur, wonder, steepness, and beauty from different angles—above, below, front, back, left, and right. A particularly unique experience lies behind the waterfall: a 100 m long Water Curtain Cave runs horizontally through its midsection, featuring cave windows and halls. Reaching through a window, one can touch the cascading water. The cave served as the filming location for the Water Curtain Cave in the 1986 TV series Journey to the West. Due to the heavy humidity inside, bringing a raincoat in advance is recommended. Tianxing Bridge is renowned for its harmonious blend of rocks, water, trees, and caves—where rocks rise from the water, caves hide within rocks, and trees stand beside caves. The stepping stones along the path are engraved with dates, allowing travelers to find their own "birthday stone." The attraction is divided into upper and lower sections. Many travelers turn back after completing the upper section, missing the Silver Chain Waterfall in the lower part—where water cascades like silver chains into a funnel-shaped pool, the highlight of Tianxing Bridge. The Doupotang waterfall is located approx. 1 km upstream from the grand waterfall. With a width of over 100 m at its crest, the water spreads out smoothly like a beaded curtain. During the high-water season, its deep roar earns it the nickname "roaring waterfall." The scene of the four pilgrims leading their horse across the river in the 1986 TV series Journey to the West was filmed here. In summer and fall, the waterfalls are full and powerful, while in winter and spring, the flow becomes gentler, offering different viewing experiences. Nearby, visitors can also enjoy local snacks like sticky rice, love tofu, and Anshun spring rolls.

Leshan Giant Buddha

Leshan Giant Buddha

The Leshan Giant Buddha, also known as the Lingyun Giant Buddha, is situated on the cliff of Qiluan Peak on Lingyun Mountain at the confluence of the Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River in Leshan, Sichuan. It is a colossal seated stone statue of Maitreya carved during the Tang Dynasty, standing approx. 70 m tall, with a single instep spacious enough to accommodate over a hundred people. Legend has it that the turbulent waters at the confluence once frequently capsized passing boats. To calm the currents, the monk Haitong of Lingyun Temple initiated the carving of the Buddha. Over several generations, craftsmen continued the construction, which took approx. ninety years to complete. On the cliff to the right of the Buddha, an inscription from the Tang Dynasty titled "Jiazhou Lingyun Temple Great Maitreya Stone Statue" remains to this day, revealing its original name—the Great Maitreya Stone Statue of Jiazhou Lingyun Temple. The common route to visit the giant Buddha is to first arrive at Lingyun Temple beside the Buddha's head, then descend along the winding Jiuzhaigou plank road built against the cliff. View the Buddha's spiral hair buns and robe folds up close, and reach the platform at the Buddha's feet to look up at the full figure. Only then can one truly appreciate the grandeur of "a mountain being a Buddha, and a Buddha being a mountain." Lingyun Temple has continuous incense offerings, and many travelers also join their palms here to pray for blessings. For a different perspective, take a boat cruise or view from the riverside of Leshan ancient city: the continuous mountain outlines of Wuyou Mountain, Lingyun Mountain, and Guicheng Mountain resemble a giant reclining Buddha facing upward, with the grand Buddha seated precisely at its chest—creating the marvel of "Buddha within Buddha." The river view also captures the grand Buddha's full profile alongside the scenery of three rivers, making it especially effortless for travelers with limited stamina or those seeking panoramic shots.

Ertaipo, one of the core Attraction of the grassland, means the slope on the slope in the local area; here, the mountains are winding, the peaks are overlapping, the skylarks are flying, the cattle and sheep are in groups, and the pastoral songs are bursts. The overall style is similar to the grassland landscape in northern China. Here, the unique herds of cattle and sheep rolling in the wind, the graceful green trees and bamboos, and the gurgling clear mountain springs on the grassland add to its smart beauty; here, the blue sky and the earth, the Cangshan and the ginger grass, the hardness and the gentleness, the hands of nature and the magical creation, draw a magical and perfect picture, stretching out a magnificent and colorful painting of Wumeng.

Wude Tiankeng in Zhenxiong County, Yunnan, is a pure natural landscape and a wonder of nature. Compared with other tiankengs in China, it has its own merits, not in depth, but in breadth and natural landscape inside the tiankeng. Because it is located in the Wumeng Mountain area of ​​Yunnan and Guizhou, transportation is inconvenient. With a little development and promotion, it can be a famous scenic spot. The most interesting thing is that there are still residents living inside, just like the Jueqing Valley in martial arts novels, living a paradise life, lush and green, chickens, dogs, geese and ducks, full of life. There are also pure natural karst landforms inside, with huge stalactites and ingenious craftsmanship, which is worth a visit.

Definitely worth the visit, incredible views. Just be careful with those photographers to persuade you for pictures. Price are not standardized as per their banner. Can be bargain and negotiate and not necessary to be taken by them!

Step by step, I climbed to the Golden Summit of Mount Emei. A sea of ​​clouds surged beneath my feet, and the golden statue of Samantabhadra stood silently atop the mountain. The hardship of the long mountain path became meaningful upon seeing this sea of ​​clouds and the Buddha's light. The mountain is high and the road is long; every step is filled with reverence. May I have peace, joy, and freedom from worry in the future.

The ferry offers commentary on the scenery along both sides of Chongqing, including iconic landmarks like Hongyadong and Raffles City. Enjoying the ferry ride while sightseeing is a very pleasant experience! The price could be lowered to make it more affordable.

Zhijin Cave truly lives up to its reputation as the king of karst caves. Its stalactites, formed over millions of years, are in countless shapes and forms. The cave is vast and magnificent, with breathtaking scenery at every turn. The constant, cool temperature and stunning interplay of light and shadow showcase the incredible artistry of nature. A complete walk through the cave is truly awe-inspiring and well worth a special trip.

The scenic area is well-developed, and the off-season offers a better experience with fewer crowds. However, we still had to queue for over twenty minutes to see the Buddha's feet because the path was extremely narrow, only wide enough for one person at a time. An elderly person in front of us was walking slowly, which slowed everyone else down as well. Imagine how long the queue could be during peak season – three or four hours!

The vast grasslands were a welcome sight, thankfully we had a car. In such a wide expanse, besides horseback riding, there wasn't much else to do. The temperature difference between day and night was significant, ranging from 16 degrees Celsius at night to 26 degrees Celsius during the day. If you have the necessary gear, spending a few days there to relax and unwind is truly wonderful. Highly recommended for those who enjoy solitude.
