Highlights of Huangguoshu Waterfall
Anshun is located in the middle west of Guizhou Province in Southwest China, about 95 kilometers driving distance from Guiyang. We stayed overnight at the hotel in Anshun City, and after breakfast in next morning we went to the next attraction “Huangguoshu Waterfall” by car; its name from the “huangguo trees” was named because the trees grow along the riverbanks, The waterfall is surrounded by lush vegetation, gorges, limestone caves, stone outcroppings, and rock pillars in a classic karst landscape. Xiao Lau said Huangguoshu is the largest waterfall in both Asia and China (the world's 3rd largest), while the second largest in China is the Hukou waterfall in Shanxi.
Going inside, we had to rely on the electric bus. A round-trip electric bus ticket of 50 yuan (RMB) brought us to go and back from the entrance.
With Huangguoshu Waterfall as the centerpiece, 18 unique waterfalls line this stretch of river. Known for their power, treacherousness, and beauty, they are one of the largest groups of waterfalls in the world. Take the path up behind the waterfall to the highest point where you can see different views of the falls and see how the water starts to drip. When I reached the top it was an absolutely stunning sight to see, the top point where I could reach out the water and totally feel the massive amounts of water vapor emanating from the waterfall.
We stayed all day at Huangguoshu Waterfall taking plenty of nice pictures and having lunch there. After the visit, we went back to Guiyang for hotel check-in.
Date of Experience: 18 March 2023, Anshun City of Guizhou, 95 kilometers driving distance from Guiyang
Highlights of Guiding Rapeseed Flowers
According to China Tourism Network, Guiding is another scenic spot in Guizhou Province, where countless charming yellow rapeseed flowers bloom, covering an area of 1.94 million hectares, a 4A tourist attraction.
As the weather gets warmer, the Spring scenery in Guiding is picturesque. It was a good time to wander among the sea of rapeseed flowers in the Jinhai Snow Mountain Scenic Area in Guiding County, Guizhou Province. I saw many rapeseed flowers blooming in the fields, which is a common sight in March every year. years, so this beautiful place makes Guiding a popular spot for outings.
Highlights of Xijiang Miao Village
-
As said by George Ng (a travel group friend of Wuyi Mountain Tour), the Miao people are very hospitable, they like to treat tourists from far away by drinking their home-brewed rice wine and letting the guests taste the Miao people's "sour fish soup". Miao women also know how to entertain guests during the banquet, they will invite guests to participate in a drinking ceremony. Foods in the village are either very spicy or not really original but do think the ingredients are better than one can find in major cities, the wine is a bit sweet and easy to drink. Besides, Miao people are so nice to all guests.
During the ceremony, I was invited, like other guests, to taste the welcome drink. The Miao women kept pouring wine into my mouth from the highest jug above for dozens of seconds. You should know that if you don't show a gesture to stop the women, they will assume that you have a good drinking capacity and keep pouring the wine into your mouth.
Besides, Miao younger women or girls prefer to adom them with large colorful plastic or bone combs and pretty silver crowns while the senior Miao women wear their long dark hair coiled up in neat buns on the top of their heads.
Definitely, it was a funny and amusing ceremony for all participating tourists, Xiao Lau said “Long Table Banquet” is one of the highest forms of ceremony at Miao Village as Miao people used for weddings, newborn baby celebrations, and village gatherings. Guests joining the banquet can savor a variety of Guizhou cuisines throughout this ceremony. When you celebrate with the Miao, you’ll be welcomed like family. I enjoyed the dinner indeed as the feast created a carnival atmosphere with drumming, singing, and dancing. Truly, I am still keeping that scenery in mind. Thank you George for introducing me to travel to Guizhou!
Highlights of Xiaoqikong, Libo
We stayed a night at the village’s hotel near the Miao plaza where the shopping street we wandered until 23:00hr last night. A 3.5-hour drive from Xijiang Miao Village to Libo started after breakfast. By the afternoon, we arrived in the Libo country, Guizhou which is jurisdictionally part of the Qiannan Bouyei and Miao Autonomous Prefectures. Libo is steeped in rich ethnic customs and traditions, the scenery there is truly magnificent.
The attraction gets its name from a seven-arched greenstone bridge that crosses the noisy river there. The site incorporates all the beauty of mountains, water, trees, caves, lakes, and waterfalls. Besides, Xiao Lau said the attractions of Xiaoqikong like the ancient seven numbers of emeralds (green stones) half floating on the water.
