Things to do in Anshun

Walking slowly along the path, a cool mist washes over you, and the holographic projections and the waterfall's flow intertwine, like a flowing galaxy. Reaching the central viewing platform, the 77.8-meter-high waterfall transforms into a giant natural screen. Lasers pierce the night sky, and rainbows and Buyi ethnic totems appear and disappear in the mist. The roar of the waterfall and the sound of drums resonate together; at that moment, you truly forget to take out your phone and just want to stand and watch the whole thing.

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.

The backbone of China in the clouds. It's recommended to visit the museum first to learn about the history and construction techniques of Guizhou's bridges before climbing the bridge. From the museum, descend the steps to the visitor center, then take the six-story sightseeing elevator directly to the bridge's interior. Stepping out of the elevator, you'll find yourself on a 370-meter-high observation walkway, where you can experience the vibrations of the bridge as cars pass by.

Getu River A world-class karst cave wonderland, featuring giant tunnels, underground rivers, divine light displays, and the Miao ethnic group's intangible cultural heritage of spider-like rock climbing… Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good today, so we couldn't see the divine light. The shuttle bus costs 10 yuan; the journey is actually short, only a few minutes, and the service is excellent.

The Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden lives up to its reputation as "the most beautiful cherry blossom garden on the blue planet." 700,000 cherry trees are in full bloom across 24,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) of land. The vibrant sea of pink and white blossoms, set against the backdrop of emerald green tea fields and sparkling lakes, creates a breathtaking spring scene. Strolling through it feels like stepping into a dreamlike fairytale.

The Water Curtain Cave is located at a height of 40 to 47 meters above the Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is 134 meters long and consists of 6 cave windows, 5 cave halls, 3 cave springs and 6 passages. This is the real scene where the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" filmed the scene of Sun Wukong flying into the Water Curtain Cave. The stalactites in the cave are of different shapes. You can also look out through the waterfall curtain from different positions and enjoy the double-track dynamic rainbow on the Rhinoceros Pond, which is very wonderful. Photography suggestions At the viewing platform outside the Water Curtain Cave, you can take a panoramic view of the waterfall. With the waterfall as the background, the characters stand sideways or with their backs to the body, which can capture the artistic conception. Enter the Water Curtain Cave, stand in front of the cave window, let the sunlight pass through the water curtain to form a halo, and take close-ups of the characters. On the iron chain bridge, with the waterfall and green mountains as the background, take pictures of the characters walking across the bridge to add dynamics.

Pingba Farm As a large-scale flower and seedling cultivation base in Guizhou, Pingba Farm has more than cherry blossoms - more than ten kinds of green plants such as osmanthus and red maple are flourishing. The farm also has tea gardens, lakes, and a sea of ​​magnolias. There are views in all four seasons: cherry blossoms in spring, green plants in summer and autumn, and quiet countryside in winter. It is the "mother" of the Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden, carrying the dual functions of "cultivation + sightseeing", suitable for slow travel to experience the ecological wildness.

Looking at the Huajiang Canyon Bridge from a different angle, you can also see the old Huajiang Bridge and the Huajiang Iron Chain Bridge. For someone like me who loves hiking but dislikes boating, it felt a bit monotonous. In the end, I abandoned the boat and hiked.

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
