About Huangguoshu Waterfall
"The bead curtain hook is not rolled, and the horse is hung on a distant peak. It is not enough to imitate its strength. Gaiyu has seen waterfalls that are several times as high, but there have never been such wide and large ones. But from the top and bottom of it, it is unavoidable. Horror".

Huangguoshu Waterfall


The water flow of Huangguoshu Waterfall will increase from June to October every year, especially in the best time of July and August. At this time, the water volume of Huangguoshu Waterfall is very abundant and the most imposing, so Huangguoshu Waterfall is the best place to visit The time is from June to August.


Before going to Huangguoshu Waterfall, you will pass through the bonsai garden. Like a tropical botanical garden in the city, all kinds of green plants are full of vitality, and the potted plants have different postures. Guizhou characteristic plants such as crape myrtle, ginkgo, and banyan are gathered in the bonsai garden, competing for splendor. There is a crape myrtle in it, which grows luxuriantly and is said to be able to improve official luck.

Before walking to the waterfall, just on the viewing plank road, you can feel the water vapor on your face. There are six viewing platforms in Huangguoshu Waterfall, where different waterfalls can be observed from different angles. There are a lot of people visiting during the peak season, especially around the Huangguoshu Waterfall, which is simply a fear of crowds. At this time, if you want to take a separate photo with the waterfall, it is estimated that you may not have the opportunity to climb for half a day.

Huge water rushed out of the cliff, passed the 70-meter-high cliff and flew down 3,000 feet, hitting the pool water, making a loud noise, and the splashed water jumped five meters away. A layer of water mist rises from the pool under the waterfall, like a tulle lightly draped around the waterfall, but soon this layer of water mist blurs the lens of the camera. Just listening to the sound is already shocking, not to mention watching it in front of you, you have to admire the uncanny craftsmanship of nature to create such a beautiful scenery.

Going up the route, we arrived at the Elephant Trunk Ridge viewing platform. This viewing platform is directly above the waterfall. When you look up, you can see the rainbow above the waterfall. Under the sun, a faint rainbow crosses the waterfall, as if in the waterfall A bridge was built over it. Then enter the Water Curtain Cave.
Water Curtain Cave
The Water Curtain Cave is located at a height of about 40 meters from the Huangguoshu Waterfall. It passes behind the waterfall and has a total length of 134 meters. There are six cave windows, five cave halls, three cave springs and six passages. Water Curtain Cave is also one of the filming locations of the 86 version of "Journey to the West". Before entering the Water Curtain Cave, you must wear a raincoat, protect your camera and mobile phone, and avoid getting wet.


Before entering the waterfall, you can buy a raincoat at the entrance of the scenic spot. The raincoat is made of disposable materials, and it will be useless after visiting the scenic spot. Therefore, you must bargain. You can buy a 10 yuan raincoat for the last two yuan. Friends who need to use a camera when taking pictures can also choose to buy a camera waterproof case. The occasional splash from the waterfall is likely to wet the camera.


When passing through the Water Curtain Cave, you can reach out and touch the rushing water flowing down from above the waterfall. Through the thick water curtain, you can vaguely see the green hills and green trees opposite the waterfall. Thoroughly cool. Stalactites can be seen everywhere in the cave, which looks mysterious under the illumination of colorful lights. It is clearer to hear the sound of the waterfall outside in the cave, as if it is falling from your head.

The light inside the Water Curtain Cave is dim, and the ground is relatively slippery due to water stains. When walking inside, you must pay attention to the safety of your feet.

doupo pond

Doupotang Waterfall is located 1 km upstream of Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is the waterfall with the widest top among the Huangguoshu Waterfalls. Walk along the walking plank road for ten minutes from the door, and you can see the Doupotang Waterfall. The closer you get to the waterfall, the louder the sound of "rumbling" can be heard. The turbid river water pours down from above the molten pool of the waterfall, splashing strings of water droplets on the stones with a huge roar, and finally Then it pours on the calcified beach dam spanning more than 100 meters and spreads out in all directions.

The water flow of Doupotang Waterfall is swift and rushing for thousands of miles, like thousands of troops galloping all the way, its majestic momentum is unstoppable. According to the tour guide, when the waterfall is so powerful, it can even submerge the trestle in front. When the cave on the left side of Doupotang Waterfall passes by a huge amount of flood during the high water season, the flood and the cave will resonate, and there will be bursts of low-pitched roars, like the roar of a beast, so Doupotang Waterfall is also called "Roaring Waterfall".


Doupotang Waterfall is well-known to the public because of the 86 edition of "Journey to the West", so there are many sculptures and steles related to "Journey to the West" in the scenic area. As soon as you enter the scenic spot, there will be a sculpture of Tang Monk and four people going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. At that time, the crew of "Journey to the West" was filming the scene of leading a horse across the river in the ending song on the waterfall. In the scenic area, there are also stories of ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties encountered by the four Tang monks all the way to the west, such as the statue of the old turtle sitting on the Tongtian River in the last difficulty, and the scripture-drying stone by the Tongtian River. The whole scenic spot is not very big. After watching it, we hurried to the next scenic spot, which is also the destination of this trip-Huangguoshu Waterfall.


But the Doupotang Waterfall in the dry season is not the same as it is now. The water flow is slow, as if slowly drifting down from the molten pool, and there is no roar of beasts in the wet season. It is more like standing there holding hands and looking at tears. A southern girl is as gentle as water.


star bridge

From the entrance, you will arrive at the first scenic spot of Tianxing Bridge - "Shushengbu", "Shushengbu" is 365 stones distributed in the water, each stone is a day of the year, a total of 365 days , walking on the stone is like walking through the day. There is also an ordinary plank road next to it for walking. They are all the same road, but the "counting steps" is more interesting. You can find the day you were born and stand on it to take a group photo.

Going all the way back, twists and turns, and winding forward, Changqing Gorge is one of my favorite attractions here. The name of Changqing Gorge comes from "the rocks and greens grow on both sides". This is indeed the case. The winding vines and narrow paths on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon seem to be in a green wonderland.
Among them, what amazes me the most is Xungen Rock and the beautiful banyan tree. There is not a grain of soil in the cliff, but three banyan trees grow miraculously, and they do not rely on the soil to survive. It is to give people a kind of life shock. They can take root and sprout in such adversity. What difficulties can stop them?


Gao Laozhuang:
Gaolaozhuang, the name is quite confusing. This scenic spot is on the top of Maoshui Pond. It is three stones spliced ​​together to form a bridge. The middle stone is not solid. After artificial reconstruction, the stone can pass through. Pedestrians, but only one person can pass at a time, so it is called the bridge on the bridge. This name has added a lot of popularity to the scenic spot, and now it has become a must-see attraction when going to Huangguoshu Waterfall.

Gao Laozhuang, the place where Bajie married his wife in "Journey to the West" is actually a place for rest and shopping, and many tour groups go here to return home, but the scenic spots behind are the highlights of Tianxing Bridge.

bridge on bridge on bridge
On the bridge on the bridge on the bridge, the name is quite convoluted. This scenic spot is on the top of Maoshui Pond. It is three stones spliced ​​together to form a bridge. The middle stone is not solid. After being artificially rebuilt, the inside of the stone Pedestrians can pass, but only one person can pass at a time, so it is called the bridge on the bridge. This name has added a lot of popularity to the scenic spot, and now it has become a must-see attraction when going to Huangguoshu Waterfall.

Star Cave:
Tianxing Cave is not much different from stalactite caves in other places. It is very humid inside and the ground is very slippery. What is more eye-catching are the four large stone pillars in the cave, each of which is more than 20 meters high, supporting the entire cave upright. Walking in the cave and looking up, dozens of stalagmites or stone pillars grow from the stone wall above the head to the ground like ice hangings. Most of the landscapes in the cave are artificial, and there is nothing amazing about them. You will feel a little bored after staying in the cave for a long time. It is not recommended to stay in it for too long.

Yinlian Zhuitan Waterfall
Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall, a hidden powerful scenic spot in Tianxingqiao Scenic Area, many tourists who turn their heads back in Gaolaozhuang will really regret not seeing Yinlianzhui Waterfall. Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall is not as majestic as Huangguoshu Waterfall, but more of a kind of beauty. Yinlian Zhuitan Waterfall has a funnel-shaped upper part and a trough-shaped molten pool at the bottom, like lotus leaves in a lotus pond in midsummer, overlapping and interlacing with each other, and river water flows from all directions on it.

From a distance, it looks like a loose silver chain, and the pendant on the chain has fallen into the molten pool. Compared with the magnificence of Huangguoshu Waterfall in sound and shape, I love the beauty of Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall more. It is so beautiful that I thought of Lin Daiyu who covered her face and wept at the first sight.

Water Stone Forest Scenic Area:
Water Stone Forest Scenic Spot, as its name suggests, "flowing water on stones, stones on water, and trees growing on stones", compared with the lackluster scenic spots in the first half, the mountains, rivers, trees and waterfalls behind are all lively and lively. The Tianxing Bridge scenic spot is a landscape painting-like place integrating mountains, water, forests, caves, roots, stones, and waterfalls. After walking, I think this scenic spot is more worth seeing than Steupo Pond. It can be worth 60% of the ticket price. .
accommodation hotel

Huangguoshu Waterfall is relatively far from the urban area, so there are many accommodation hotels near Huangguoshu Waterfall, mainly in Huangguoshu Town and Shangsaba Village. There are also many bars and other leisure and entertainment facilities nearby.

Anshun Huangguoshu Hotel

If it is farther away, most of it is about 1.5 kilometers, and the holiday is between 90-300. We chose Huangguoshu Aidu Art Hotel, 441 yuan/double bed. The design of this hotel is Miao style. The room is mainly in cool colors, and there are bull heads and silver decorations inside, which is very design.

Anshun Bolian Hot Spring Hotel

According to your own preferences, roll shredded radish, zheer root (fish coriander), shredded kelp, fried soybeans, crispy whistle, paste pepper and other vegetables, and finally Dip in hot and sour condiments, crispy, tender and sour, appetizing and refreshing.

Broken Crispy Buns
The difference between broken crispy buns and other steamed buns lies in its skin, which is similar to Western-style chestnut crisps, which are rolled out layer by layer with oil. After steaming, the cross-section will show a layered effect, and the taste is also quite special. The stuffing in the crispy buns is also very special, it is sweet bean paste mixed with meat, sweet, salty and salty.

The rolls are a bit like Cantonese rice rolls. The rolls are made of rice noodles. Apply the dipping sauce on the surface of the rolls, and then add shredded kelp, zheer root, bean sprouts, shredded carrots, pickled radish, coriander, celery, green onion, peas Wait until the side dishes are placed on top of the dipping material, and finally use a spoon to scoop up a small spoonful of tofu water and sprinkle it on the surface of the side dishes. Finally, wrap the roll skin and wrap the vegetables inside the roll skin, so that it can be eaten.

postscript

The trip to Huangguoshu Waterfall not only satisfied my curiosity about Huangguoshu Waterfall, but also allowed me to experience the joy of traveling and see the magic of the Creator of Nature. What made me feel most rewarded during this trip was not the magnificence of Huangguoshu Waterfall, but the various little beauties I met at the Tianxing Bridge scenic spot afterwards.

Only one person can walk carefully among the cliffs, the trees and vines growing on both sides of the canyon, the scattered "several steps", and the lotus leaves dotted in the pond can be seen everywhere. The beauty on display can make you realize the beauty of this world.

Along the way, we spent two days visiting the scenic spot. Although it is in the peak tourist season and there are crowds of people everywhere, the fun of traveling lies in it. People who pass you by accidentally step on you We don’t know each other, and we don’t know where the other came from. We chose to come to Huangguoshu Waterfall at this time point to appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. We came here together to form a sea of ​​people.

Traveling doesn’t have to be with a purpose, and it’s not about taking every photo for posting on Moments. The meaning of travel should be to observe the scenery with your eyes, record the scenery that impresses you, and then use your heart To feel this nature.
