Things to do in Ziyun

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.

Not far from Guiyang, this ancient town offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The "Defend Qingyan" activity immerses you in the atmosphere of the revolutionary war. While the main street is teeming with tourists, a stroll into the side alleys allows for a quieter appreciation of the century-old buildings. The pig's trotters in the food street are a specialty and definitely worth trying.

Enter from entrance 2 track down stairs towards on spot payment ticketed one way elevator ride up and exit via entrance 1. Worth the time for view and hike. There’s one zone passing thru the waterfall with wet stairs so step with care. Pictures shown here doesn’t do this attraction. Have to experienced it yourself physically

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.

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.

We went on a cloudy day, and it rained a little, so we had to wear raincoats. The water was green, but it looked like a beautiful blue when photographed, so it wasn't the Tiffany blue that people talked about online. It was all just a camera filter effect. The trip felt a bit short. Although there was someone on the boat who gave a briefing, it was very simple, mostly about the water depth and to be careful.

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.

The water in Goose Spring is crystal clear, and the environment is nice. Although the scenic area is a bit artsy, it is unique and clear, and the hygiene is also good. What I like most is the water in Goose Spring, which is also one of the sources of Detian Waterfall. It's wonderful.

I went during the off-season, so the service was practically nonexistent, but the environment was very nice and worth a visit. It's best to hire a car for the round trip, as it's difficult to get a taxi on-site. If you go during the off-season, you should bring your own food, as there were no food vendors inside the scenic area.
