words written in front

Huangguoshu Waterfall can be said to be a scenic spot that carries childhood memories. It has the official publicity and promotion of primary school textbooks starting from dolls, as well as the live-action publicity of the childhood Internet celebrity drama "Journey to the West", which made our generation have to pay attention to it. Huangguoshu Waterfall is impressive. Just like the Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Bund in Shanghai, and the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, it is a place that must be seen with your own eyes. I don't remember when I read the text "Huangguoshu Waterfall" for the first time or when I saw Monkey King flying into the Water Curtain Cave, I planted a flag on Huangguoshu Waterfall when I was young.

stay

Huangguoshu Hotel

What's more special is that Huangguoshu Hotel has its own entrance to the scenic spot, which can directly reach the scenic spot from the hotel, and there are several waterfall viewing rooms, where you can directly see the Huangguoshu Waterfall from the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows.

Huangguoshu Guest House

Located diagonally opposite the VIP fast lane gate, it is super convenient to take the fast lane, and it is also very close to the high-speed exit. The hotel is equipped with a large restaurant with complete functions and is worth recommending. We live in a small courtyard of a single building. Each building has about 6 rooms. There is a common hall on the first floor. Because the rooms also have a living room, the sound insulation effect is very good after the two doors are closed. When checking in and checking out, you can call the hotel's battery car to pick up and transport your luggage. The service is very attentive.

Bolian Hotel

A hotel near the parking lot of Huangguoshu Waterfall. It focuses on high-end routes. The hotel’s aromatherapy is shipped from Europe. The bedding is exactly the same as that of Burj Al Arab in Dubai. The hardware facilities are above average, and the supporting services are The selling point of the hotel. When you are in the hotel, you can feel a strong sense of design. It feels like a Chinese courtyard. It is equipped with tea rooms, restaurants, swimming pools and other facilities. Most of the rooms are more than 4k a night. The expensive service is expensive.

RV camp (in the scenic area)

The RV camp is located in the scenic area, near the church in the Great Waterfall Scenic Area, and the RVs in the camp are equipped with small yards. Living here, you can experience the different scenery of Huangguoshu at night.

Food

Because of the rush of time, the meals are all eaten at the Ying Hotel, which are basically more home-cooked dishes for the public.

Precautions

When playing in Huangguoshu Scenic Area, you must pay attention to safety, because there are dense dark rivers in the scenic area. If you accidentally fall into the water, it is very dangerous, so you must pay attention to safety.

If you go in summer, bring anti-mosquito spray and take sun protection measures. There are many small shops and stalls in the scenic area, and there are many local fruits. You can buy and taste according to the specific situation.

If you plan to visit three scenic spots in one day, you must go early. The recommended time for the Great Waterfall is 2 hours, the recommended time for Tianxing Bridge is 3 hours, and the suggested time for Doupotang is half an hour to 1 hour.

Those things about Huangguoshu and Journey to the West 

A scenic spot carries the childhood memories of the post-80s and post-90s. Most of the people who remember Huangguoshu may be Monkey King’s Water Curtain Cave, but the 86 version of "Journey to the West" is more than just a water curtain in the place where Huangguoshu was filmed. As for the hole, there are at least 6 large and small filming locations.

Water Curtain Cave: It is the exterior scene of the water curtain of Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain.

Gao Laozhuang: The corridor where Zhu Bajie carries his wife, this is Zhu Bajie's hometown.

Pansi Cave: At the entrance of the viewfinder cave, there are stone steps for rest.

The water pool where the white dragon horse comes out of the water: it is the first show where the little white dragon turns into a horse.

Tongtian River: One of the eighty-one disasters between the Tang monk and his disciples, Sun Wukong fought with him to save the boy and girl, and later got the help of the old turtle to cross the Tongtian River.

Ending song Dare to ask where the road is The waterfall that the master and apprentice walked through: Although this point is controversial, let's believe it is here. Hahaha

Recommended route

Friends who have never been to Huangguoshu may think that Huangguoshu Waterfall is a scenic spot, which can be finished in about half a day, but it is only after starting the strategy that Huangguoshu Waterfall is so big. composed of scenic spots. In order to save time, I recommend two routes for everyone.

The route recommended by the VIP fast entry channel: Great Waterfall—the second half of Tianxing Bridge—Steep Pond

We purchased the Huangguoshu VIP Express Coupon in advance, starting from the Huangguoshu Guest House, first sent to the cathedral of the Great Waterfall, then went all the way down from the cathedral to the waterfall, passed through the Water Curtain Cave, passed 4 viewing platforms, and took the elevator up. Go to the parking lot of the Great Falls and take a car to the Tianxing Bridge. After getting off at the entrance of Tianxing Bridge, take the external passage, go straight through the first half, and start visiting the second half of Tianxing Bridge from Gaolaozhuang. After taking the cable car, a battery car will be sent to the beginning of the second half, and then walk for a while Go back to the gate of Tianxing Bridge, and finally take a car to Doupotang. After a short walk after playing, the battery car will be sent back to the gate of the VIP fast track near Huangguoshu Guest House.

The route recommended by ordinary tourists: Steep Pond - Great Waterfall - Tianxing Bridge

Let me explain, why do ordinary tourists go this way~ Tianxing Bridge has a large parking lot exclusively for travel agencies. Generally, when travel agencies go to Huangguoshu, Tianxing Bridge is the first stop, so there are the most people in the morning. Then at noon, because the scenic area is being upgraded and the restaurants are not open, so the tourists in the team have to go out of the scenic area to have lunch, so ordinary tourists who are free to travel must be stuck at the time point, between 12:30-13:00 At this time, take the shuttle bus in the scenic spot. At this time, all the tourists in the group are outside the scenic spot, and there are few people in line. The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is not big and there is only one waterfall attraction, so it can basically be visited in half an hour. This line is a time-saving line with staggered peaks.

 

First stop: Huangguoshu Waterfall

Huangguoshu Waterfall, known as Baishuihe Waterfall in ancient times, also known as "Huanggeshu" Waterfall or "Huangjueshu" Waterfall, got its name because of the widespread distribution of "Huanggeshu" in the area. The waterfall belongs to the Baishui River system of the Pearl River system. The waterfall is the largest first-class waterfall in the Huangguoshu Waterfall Group and one of the world-famous waterfalls. It is famous for its vast water potential. The height of the waterfall is 77.8 meters, of which the height of the main waterfall is 67 meters; the width of the waterfall is 101 meters, of which the top of the main waterfall is 83.3 meters wide. Huangguoshu Waterfall is a typical waterfall in karst landform.

Xiake Pavilion is a very important symbol of the scenic spot. Almost three scenic spots will pass by here. We came down from the VIP passage and walked past the lower living room.

After a short walk along the trail, through a rather tropical-style path, I heard the sound of the waterfall from a distance. When looking at a waterfall, you always hear its sound before you see it. It's true. Follow the sound of water and move on.

Suddenly, through the gaps in the woods, a large waterfall appeared in front of the eyes. The morning sun sprinkled on the pool of the first-level waterfall, which was shimmering and dazzling. Maybe it was because I saw the waterfall, and I felt that the sound of the water was louder. The water vapor is also blowing on the face, like making a spray mask.

The mist rising from the trail created a rainbow in the sunlight. It's just beautiful.

I passed by this church before going down the mountain. It is very unique. There are security guards watching it. I didn’t open the door, so I looked at it from a distance. The RV camp is next to the church.

Arriving at the viewing platform on the mountain directly opposite the big waterfall, I thought I could see a rainbow, but my luck was still bad. The big waterfall in the distance fell surgingly, stirring up water mist tens of meters high. I can't wait to get close to the big waterfall, so I speed up my pace and continue to walk towards the water curtain hole of the waterfall.

I bought a raincoat on the way, because the water was very heavy, and the water mist was like rain, so I had to bring a raincoat, followed the crowd, and walked all the way, preparing to cross the Water Curtain Cave.

When Sun Wukong filmed Journey to the West, did he come in through this hole~ hehe

There is also a small section of the Water Curtain Cave with lighting effects. As the colors of the lanterns change, the scenery in the cave also changes.

There is a chain bridge directly opposite the waterfall, through which you can go to the next viewing platform

At the viewing platform at the foot of the waterfall, you can see the waterfall from the best angle, and there is also a small waterfall at the first level. This is also a place where tourists rush to take pictures.

After finishing the shooting of the viewing platform, I took the elevator of the upward elevator and went out in about 10 minutes.

Because the scenic spot is being upgraded, there is no restaurant, so you can only go out of the scenic spot to eat. The nearest restaurant within walking distance outside the park is Wisteria Court, where there is usually a buffet, 58 yuan per person. After lunch, you must hurry up and take the battery car to Tianxing Bridge before one o'clock, otherwise the tourists in the group will have to wait in line for a long time.

Second stop: the lower half of Tianxing Bridge

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Spot is located in the lower reaches of Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is a natural bonsai scenic spot formed by the change of stone forest on the water, mainly featuring the wonderful combination of stones, trees and water. It is mainly divided into Tianxing Basin Scenic Area, Tianxing Cave Scenic Area, and Water Stone Forest Area. Tianxingqiao Scenic Spot is densely populated with stalagmites and lush vegetation. It integrates mountains, water, forests and caves. A masterpiece through the ages".

Because of time, we gave up the scenery of the first half of the Tianxing Bridge and went directly to the second half of the Tianxing Bridge. Because it is a back road, it takes about an hour to walk back and forth in the first half, plus the tour time in the second half, a round trip plus a short cable car and battery car, it will take 3 hours to drop this scenic spot. The front and rear sections are divided by the corridor where Zhu Bajie carries his wife on his back.

There are many underground rivers on the side of the Tianxing Bridge. It looks like a pile of stones, but the bottom is full of water.

The story of the bridge on the bridge on the bridge, it turns out that there is a relatively vulgar name here called Feilaishi. The bridge on the bridge on the bridge sounds like a lot of bridges. Which bridges are they? Because the entire scenic spot is sandwiched above the underground river, the first bridge is above the underground river, the second bridge is visible to the naked eye, and the third bridge is Feilaishi.

Tianxing cave is a typical karst cave. The open area in the cave is not too big, there is a hall and several side halls. Among the colorful and ever-changing strange peaks and rocks, four large stone pillars reach the top of the cave, and there are many stone flowers on the pillars, like carved dragons and phoenixes, with gorgeous colors. If you like to see caves, you can go to the Dragon Palace next to Huangguoshu. The caves over there are another kind of beauty.

When you come to the hall in the cave, no matter where you go, you can see a stalactite that is as big as a pillar in the cave, which is very magnificent. The cave is not big, and it takes less than half an hour to walk around.

Terrace-like geology

After coming out of the Tianxing Cave, I went to another scenic spot in Journey to the West. Do you still remember the little white dragon who jumped out of the water and turned into a little white horse? It is in this pool that it jumped out.

As mentioned earlier, there are many underground rivers in the Huangguoshu Waterfalls. This spring is the spring of an underground river. When the water is large, the water ejected from the spring can be several meters above the water surface.

Another angle of the bridge on the bridge on the bridge

I think the stone forest on the water is the most essential part of Tianxing Bridge. The underground river here gushes out of the ground and flows among the large and small stones. The towering trees cover the sky and the sun. The scenery is not ordinary.

The silver chain falling into the pool is the point I am most looking forward to. The water is very big, and I can feel the majestic momentum of rushing to the sea at close range.

There are also the most tourists here. Along the plank road, you can see the silver chain falling into the pool from different angles.

Follow the plank road to the small cable car, and wait in line for 5 minutes. It should be the cheapest cable car in China once, and it only costs 10 yuan. The distance is from this mountain to the opposite mountain, and the straight-line distance is about 200 meters. The whole journey takes about 5 minutes, and only two people can sit in one car. There are staff to help when getting on and off the bus.

See the stone forest on the water from God's perspective on the cable car. Don't have a flavor.

After getting off the cable car, there will be a battery car to take you to the starting point of the second half, where you can walk back to the gate of Tianxing Bridge and change to a shuttle bus to Doupotang.

Third stop: Steep Pond 

The famous Huangguoshu Waterfall began with Xu Xiake, a traveler in the Ming Dynasty, but the first waterfall Xu Xiake saw when he came to Huangguoshu was indeed the waterfall of Doupotang. Later, he asked the surrounding villagers and found out that there was a bigger waterfall not far away. to the Great Falls.

Doupotang is famous because it is the MV filming location that dares to ask where the way is. As soon as the music starts, one can always think of the scene of Tang Seng and his disciples walking through the waterfall. Childhood memories that will never be erased.

After walking for about 10 minutes looking for the sound of water, we saw the waterfall. On the trail down the mountain, everyone couldn't help but take pictures on the trail, so that the trail was always blocked when walking. It can be seen that the attraction of Doupotang Waterfall.

The sun slanted on the waterfall, shining white like silver threads. The water drops fall along the waterfall one level, two levels and three levels, so happy.

After the tour of Doupotang Waterfall, we crossed the small bridge in the sunset, crossed the Tongtian River, and walked back on the way.

Passing the stone tablet of 99 and 81 difficulties and the stone for drying scriptures

The one-day tour of Huangguoshu is over. In one day, I have visited the most essential part of Huangguoshu. The number of steps has successfully exceeded 25,000. It is very hard work, but I have harvested beautiful scenery along the way. I believe that the style of Huangguoshu will be in my memory for a long time. Can't forget.
