Tianhetan

It is known as the "Guizhou landscape concentrated bonsai". The scenic area has mountains, water, caves, pools, waterfalls, natural bridges and canyons.
In the scenic area, you can find traces of ancient ethnic culture - incense carts, water wheels, water mills, water grinders, etc., which are extremely wild and interesting.
Wolong Lake connects the calcified beach and the karst cave. The long dragon ridge Baibu Stone Bridge emerges in the lake, and the lake water is as clear as a mirror.
The most interesting thing is to take a boat into the Longtan Cave, which is full of stone curtains, stone waterfalls and stalagmites.
There is a naturally formed lava stone bridge in the cave, which is as high as an 8-story building. Next to the bridge is a cave surrounded by cliffs, and there is a deep pool of water at the bottom of the cave.

I didn't take a sightseeing bus. I walked slowly and looked carefully. There were basically no people in the scenic area, and occasionally I saw one or two staff members. On the one hand, it was because of the off-season, and on the other hand, Guiyang encountered rain, snow and frost a few days ago, and the highways were closed. Many flights could not stop. The weather has just warmed up in the past two days. Occasionally, you can see snow that has not completely melted on the roadside, but it will not freeze your hands or face. The green scenery is full of eyes, which feels good. After entering the door, there is a commercial street selling specialty products, but the shops are basically closed. After walking for more than ten minutes, I entered another security gate and began to see water. The scenery is getting better and better.

After walking for a while and seeing the waterfall, we arrived at the place where the boat tickets for the Water Cave were sold and bought a ticket for 43 yuan. We first took a boat to visit the water cave. The water cave is not big and the boat ride took less than 20 minutes. There were five people on our boat, and except for me, they were all elderly people from Shandong. After getting off the boat, the tour guide of the dry cave persuaded us for a long time, fearing that they would not be able to walk down the dry cave in an hour if they went up and down.

After visiting the Dry Cave, your trip to Tianhetan Park is over.

By Aman 👣 |

I just randomly found a place on the Internet and didn't expect it to be so beautiful. The first impression when I walked in was that it was clean and new. A lot of things were still under construction. Because we didn't arrive until four in the afternoon that day, we didn't get to visit many attractions. We went there today and found that they were installing a lot of lights. I believe it will be beautiful at night as well. Next time I must go there earlier. The scenery is unique and it is worth the trip.

By Top Bunny |

Compared with the historic Huaxi Park, another attraction in Guiyang, Tianhetan, seems to be a bit artificial! First of all, the ticket price: 130 yuan, the actual value of the attraction is not in line with it! This price is equivalent to half the ticket price of the national scenic area, Huangguoshu Waterfall Group. Secondly, take a boat to enter the water cave, it feels like a man-made attraction, and the service attitude of the boatman is not good! Finally, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we didn't want to go to the dry cave, and the internal staff actually closed the door of an exit. I don't know what they went out to do? You can imagine the laxity of labor discipline!

By Sherry Liu |

The last day in Guizhou was spent with a tour group. I took my parents on a tour and didn’t want to be so tired every day, so I went with a local tour group every other day, which allowed me to relax a little.

The musical fountain is very nice

By Lujiang Zhou Gongjin |

There weren't too many people during the Golden Week. There were caves and waterfalls to see, and it took 6 hours to complete the tour.

By Low-key promise for the future |

The ticket was not written as a one-way ticket. It was 15 yuan one way, and 30 yuan for a round trip. It was a rip-off. I will never come again.

By Freelancer |

Tianhetan is an urban park in Guiyang, only 20 kilometers away from the city center, and can be reached by bus. Although it is not large in area, it has mountains, trees, flowers, grass, rocks, waterfalls, streams, lakes, caves and underground rivers... You can also take a boat into the cave to take a peek.

By Xiaomin |

The boatman said that the Shuihan Cave here is a smaller version of Zhijin Cave and Dragon Palace, so if you don't have time to go to these two places, you can come here to experience it...

By Ruoshui |

Tianhetan is known as the concentrated bonsai of Guizhou landscape and is praised as "the best in Guizhou". In fact, I think it is very similar to the karst landform in Guangxi.

The drop-off point was about 1.3 kilometers away from the scenic area. There was no pedestrian on the road. I suddenly felt like I was in the wilderness. The wind was blowing and the rain was coming. I was shivering with cold.

By Donuts 🍩 |

Tianhetan is actually very large, you can spend a whole day exploring it, you can also take a boat or a car. The small waterfall is very delicate, and the photos taken are also very beautiful.

By じ☆Vの. green |

The gate of the scenic area has a very ethnic style. On the left side of the square, you will reach the ticket hall. The scenic area is divided into two major tour systems (exterior and cave landscape). There are three types of tour tickets for tourists to choose from: exterior tickets (for exterior), boat tickets (for water and dry cave landscapes) and passes. The pass is (water cave, dry cave, exterior, boat tickets), and sightseeing buses and high-altitude zip lines are charged separately.

Personally, I think there is no need to take a sightseeing bus. You can't go far and you can enjoy the scenery while walking. This is for reference only.

It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the ticket office to the gate of the scenic area. On the way, you have to pass through a forest. At the end of August, it was still green and yellowish. When the flowers bloom next spring, it will be a red scenery. From the end of the plank road, you come to the viewing platform, overlooking the green mountains and green waters, a paradise on earth. In the past, there were literati who lived in seclusion here and they knew how to enjoy it. Go forward and walk an uphill road, and then go down a flight of stairs to the boarding point for the karst cave. Since the boat passes through the karst cave, the cave is only wide enough for one boat to pass, so I didn't take pictures. Be careful of your head, safety first. It is impossible to pass through the karst cave when the water level is high, so travel really depends on the season, weather and luck.

The beautiful scenery in the dry cave also makes you marvel at the magical power of nature. The stalactites are magnificent under the light. The temperature inside the cave is lower than outside the cave, so children still need to wear a thin coat. After exiting the cave, go to the right to take the zip line, and go straight to Wolong Lake, which is the place you just saw from a high altitude. It is also a pleasant choice to spend a day or two here leisurely.

By Gong Yaoliang |

Tianhetan Scenic Area is located in Shiban Town, Huaxi District, Guiyang City, 24 kilometers away from Guiyang City. It has the majestic Huangguoshu Waterfall.

By Pengbo |

Tianhetan is not very famous, and my friends said they had never heard of it. So we wandered over and planned to buy tickets on the spot. The moment I saw the ticket hall, I instantly traveled back to the time when I bought Spring Festival travel tickets when I was in school. The queue for online ticket purchase was smaller, but it was necessary to purchase tickets one day in advance.

The food street outside the scenic area lists Guiyang's classic snacks. The scenic area is divided into two parts. The Ludi River flows through the dark lake to form a vertical shaft deep pool, and then flows out through the natural stone bridge, forming a small waterfall, so it is more unique. We first took a boat into the cave. The stalactites in the cave are very beautiful. After climbing up and down the cave, we walked outdoors. The distance added up was not small. Taking pictures and jogging along the way consumed a lot of physical energy.

By cindypig0124 |

If you haven’t been to Zhijin Cave, you can make up for it at Tianhetan. The cave here is also quite large and the scenery is also beautiful.

By Jiamin |

(0.5h self-driving, 80 yuan for tickets and 80 yuan for zipline. The online package is more affordable, but you can also watch it on site and buy the ticket after confirming that you want to play the zipline)

I went there for the zipline in the park. If you don't play the zipline, I don't recommend going to this attraction. The whole zipline takes about 40 seconds. If children want to play, they are tied to adults and slide. There is no centrifugal force. As long as they are not afraid of heights, they can challenge it. As long as the children are not afraid, there is no height or age restriction on the spot; if the child does not have a package ticket, he must buy a separate zipline ticket, which is 80 yuan for both adults and children.

By 🎈Simple👻 |

August is the peak season, there are so many people, the waiting time is longer than the playing time, the cave is very unique and beautiful, the brave can try the zipline, it is very exciting

By Rest, little thief |

There are mountains, water and caves. It is not the best in Guizhou, but it is also very pleasant to walk and take a boat to see the scenery. Don't have high expectations. This place is not amazing, but it is also a good natural scenery near the city.

By Pig Girl 👧 |

I bought a ticket and it was said to be a pass, including the cruise, waterfall, water cave, dry cave... I thought it was a good deal at the time... It should be to control the flow of tourists. When you enter, you have to take a sightseeing bus to the entrance. You may go to a different entrance at different time periods...

We went very early, and there were only a few people when we entered the scenic area from that entrance. However, it was the entrance farthest from the boat ride, and because we went there specifically to take the boat, the staff said that there were a lot of people queuing for the boat, and that we had to go early to take the boat. So we hurried along the way and missed a lot of scenery. Oh, we didn't even get to walk on the stone bridge that I wanted to visit the most, which was a bit of a pity, as the scenery along the way was indeed nice.

Because it rained the day before, the water level was quite high. The staff said that if the water level was higher, they would not sail, and it was still quite dangerous... The water was not clean, and there were many water hyacinths and some uncleaned garbage floating on it. The boat ride took about ten minutes. The waterway was very narrow and could only accommodate a small boat passing through. It would hit the surrounding rocks from time to time. You must pay attention to keep your head down. The staff on the road were also very responsible and kept reminding everyone to keep their heads down and pay attention to safety.

If the full score is 10, the maximum is 6. Five points are for the staff. The whole process felt like you were on a boat passing through a cave. Basically all you saw on the road were lights shining on a small fish painted by a person. It was not interesting.

After getting off the boat, we went to the dry cave. I never want to go to any cave again in my life. They are all dark, damp, and cold, with all kinds of lights shining on the stalactites. I thought it was strange at first, but after seeing it for a long time, I felt that they were all the same. And when walking in the cave, I always feel that I can get out after turning that corner, but there is another corner, and it feels like I will never finish walking. The more I walk, the more annoyed I am, and there is no sunlight.

By Xiangxiang Cat |

The 30 yuan ticket is a good deal. The 30 yuan electric car is actually unnecessary. The scenic area is not big, and you can get there by walking. The ticket includes the boat ticket. Overall, it is pretty good.

By Fangchenggang Xia Ye Homestay |

The scenic spot in the suburbs of Guiyang, although I have visited many scenic spots in the country, I still give this not-so-big scenic spot a five-point praise. It is comfortable, beautiful, and has pleasant scenery. There are water and caves. I am quite satisfied. It takes an hour to enter the cave. It is recommended to take a look and come out, otherwise it will be boring.

By Wang Ani needs to work hard 🙇🏻 |

Tianhetan is particularly worth recommending. The scenic area has full wifi coverage, and the signal is also strong inside the water and drought caves. The bathroom in the scenic area is also quite luxurious, with two large floor-standing air conditioners, and the doors of the partitions are all made with conscientiousness.

By Morning Light |

There are too many people and too few sightseeing buses. You have to wait in line for at least 2 hours to take a bus or a boat, and no one cares about the order.

By Xiaobao accompanies you |

It takes an hour and a half to get to Tianhetan from the vicinity of the train station (it's not far, the car is slow). The sun was big and a little hot that day. After entering the scenic area, we took a battery car to the place where we took the boat. There was a long queue for the battery car and the boat. The boat waited for almost half an hour. After entering the scenic area, we took a boat to the karst cave. It was cooler inside the karst cave, and the scenery inside was also very beautiful and realistic. But we had to be very careful and never put our hands out of the boat. After coming out of the karst cave, we entered Tianshang Renjian and started our trip to the dry cave. The only bad thing about the dry cave is that the road is very narrow. The guide in the scenic area walked very fast, which can be called a trot. As a young person who likes sports, I said it was very difficult to keep up with her. There are various shapes inside, each based on imagination. There is a one-eyed frog shape at the highest point, which is a feature. The eyes are transparent stones under the light. Then we passed the Naihe Bridge and walked towards Guangming Avenue. Guangming Avenue is relatively easy to walk. There are two kinds of lighting effects, and there is a place with smoke effect in the middle, which is more suitable for taking pictures.

A scenic spot far from the city, bus 211 goes directly there, but you have to walk nearly 1,000 meters. People under six years old or 1.2 meters tall are free of charge, and military personnel are free of charge. The ticket is 80 yuan, which is relatively cheaper when bought online. I bought it for 70 yuan, and it was very fast, basically arriving in seconds. The ticket includes a sightseeing bus, which I personally think is useless. The ride is very short, estimated to be about 2 kilometers. If there are no elderly or children, you can skip the ticket and save 30 yuan (15 yuan one way). The scenic area is built on the mountain, and the traces of artificiality in the later period are obvious. Before entering the park, a commercial square was built, mainly for those who want to eat, mostly noodles, and you can take a sightseeing bus to enter the park here. After entering the park, you will reach the water cave and take a boat through the cave. Most of the caves are very narrow, and tall people have to pay attention to bumping heads. After getting off the boat, start walking in the dry cave to see the lights and stones. The distance is not short, estimated to be 1 hour. After coming out, just wander around, climb and go down the mountain. The characteristic is a small waterfall, and you can relax while walking. The overall feeling is average, suitable for a family trip, and the overall 4 hours is very relaxed, including lunch. The disadvantage is that the introduction of each attraction is too little or not conspicuous. There are many attractions on the road signs, but I don’t know which attractions I visited after the tour.

By Inspector Robin |

The ticket to Tianhetan is 80 yuan if you book it online, plus 120 yuan for the cableway. Because I played the jungle jump in Chiang Rai, I was still wearing slippers that day, and I was afraid that my shoes would fall off in the air, so I didn't dare to take it. After the tour, I felt that the ticket price was very cost-effective. When I arrived at Tianhetan, it should be a theme town, suitable for taking portraits, and there are many food and drink shops. It is said that there is a musical fountain at 8:30 in the evening. I took a sightseeing bus to the entrance and walked in. The scenic area is still very large, with large and small attractions. What I am most looking forward to is the water cave and the dry cave. These two attractions, from this cave entrance, I feel like I am sitting in a time shuttle, like a big adventure, super cool feeling.

By My heart is the same |

We bought a package at the tourist service center for 83 yuan, which included the scenic spot ticket, the cave boat ticket, and the round-trip electric car ticket.

To take the battery car, you have to queue up at Guiyang Story Street, which is built in the style of the Republic of China. The architecture restores the market culture, courtyard culture, and mansion culture of old Guiyang. The market culture of Guiyang Story Street represents the most simple and original lifestyle of old Guiyang. It mainly sells Guizhou and Guiyang specialty snacks, local specialties, etc. You can enjoy the landmark buildings of old Guiyang such as the big cross, fountain (bronze statue platform), Jinqiao Hotel, and Mao Mansion.

It was past ten when we arrived, and there weren't many tourists. When we left the park, around one o'clock, there was a long queue of people waiting to take the battery car. It only took about fifteen minutes to walk from here to the scenic area. If the sun is not too strong, it is actually quite good to walk.

The cave is not big and very narrow. Small boats can only go forward in a queue. People have carved dinosaur fossils and some small fish on the rock walls on both sides. With the lights, it is still quite nice. The cave is just too small. If you have been to Bamei and seen Zhijin Cave, you can skip this place.

Come out of the cave and walk down, you can see a scenic spot - a waterfall. Of course, this can't be compared with Huangguoshu Waterfall and Malinghe Waterfall. It's just a park waterfall.

In fact, the whole scenic area is not big, and you can finish the tour in a short while.

By Snow-covered plum blossoms |

I took my parents there, and they were very satisfied and said it was fun. There are waterfalls and caves in the scenic area, and you can take a boat and zipline, which is quite a lot. The core scenic area is the dry cave and the water cave, which are quite good. The ticket to enter the cave is 50 yuan, and the ticket without entering the cave is only 10 yuan. The sightseeing bus costs 30 yuan, but we didn't take it. We walked for about ten minutes, but there was no road sign. That section of the road actually doesn't require a ticket, and there is a lake, which is also very beautiful.

By Star |

I went there because of its reputation but returned disappointed.

I thought Tianhetan was a natural ecological landscape, but when I got there I found obvious traces of human intervention, and the waterfalls and other things must be man-made.

I just went there a few days ago. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when I got there. Fortunately, I only bought tickets. The ticket office is very large and spacious. Nearby is Guizhou Story Street, which has various snacks and many shops are not open. You can stroll around the flower sea in the waterfront leisure area next to it. In fact, you don't need to buy tickets for this area, and there are no signs or signs. So when we turned around and didn't find the ticket gate, we wondered if we had gone the wrong way. Only then did we see that there was a gate to check tickets to enter. Due to time constraints, we only visited the mountain and water waterfalls and did not go deeper into the caves. If it is a real waterfall, it would be nice. There are various postures all the way there. The photos look good, but they are not actually big, and the water quality is not very good. Looking up, I saw the zip line across this scenic area.

Overall, the scenic spot seems to be in trial operation, many areas are undeveloped, and many shops are waiting to be rented. For the 10 yuan ticket, it is still good.

By China-TravelNote users |

I just arrived at the scenic spot and bought a ticket to take the sightseeing bus. Then there was a long queue waiting for the bus. I hadn't entered the tour yet, but I posted a comment while waiting in line. The reception capacity of the scenic spot was too poor, and there were too few sightseeing buses. I spent money on the sightseeing bus but the service experience was too bad. 2018/7/22. It's so hot and annoying

By One flower, one world |

The Water and Land Cave is nice. Although I have been to countless caves, I was still impressed by the creativity of the two lines of water and land here.

The only thing is that the ticket price is a bit of a rip-off. This second-tier attraction costs more than 260 for two large and one small attractions, which is simply like a rip-off.

By Ugly Warrior |

It is also a scenic spot worth visiting in Guiyang. The scenery is good. The 50 yuan ticket is not expensive, but there are only two or three ticket purchase channels, and the ticket queue took 20 minutes. There is an escalator in the scenic area, but when I came out at around 5 o'clock, the elevator stopped and I had to climb the stairs myself.

By Say something to yourself |

In the cave of Tianhetan, the characters and scenes that often appeared in myths when we were young reappeared in front of us: the dressing room of the Queen Mother, the double swords of the Jade Emperor, the cloud tower in the sky, the Yaochi Festival, the stone forest in the sky and other landscapes were presented one after another. The most impressive thing was a column of stalactites, which was originally connected from top to bottom. Because of the movement of the earth's crust, the stalactite was broken about five centimeters in the middle. What's more amazing is that green grass actually grew on this section! This power of life is incredible! Although the mountain and water waterfall at the foot of the mountain is far less magnificent than that of other places, it is very good at being close to water, and it is also beautiful to take pictures.

Nice view

Nice scenery



Rafting is pretty good

By China-TravelNote users |

It's a half-hour drive from the restaurant, and the 10-cent ticket is very affordable. I took a lot of photos of the beautiful scenery and it was my first time to see a cave. When I was sitting on the boat, my mind was full of scenes from The Grave Robbers' Chronicles. In short, it's a very cost-effective attraction.

By _Ah money_ |

This was recommended by the driver who took us to Qianling Mountain.

There is nothing to see in those wetland parks. Although Tianhetan has many artificial landscapes, the park is still quite large. I didn't expect there are caves and waterfalls.

The stalactites and lighting effects on the boat made me feel like I was seeing Thanos. Overall, it was an unexpectedly cool area.

By Words of Heart |

The entrance square of Tianhetan Scenic Area is built with ethnic characteristics. On the left side of the door is the tourist service center, where you can exchange tickets and store your bags. It is recommended that you buy your tickets online the day before, so that there will be fewer people queuing up online the next day. The ticket pass for the scenic area: including tickets, water caves, dry caves, and cable cars, totals 80 yuan, 70 yuan online.

There is a large area of free attractions at the entrance of the scenic area, including a snack street, a Republican-style street, a fountain, and a large flower square. It is very good and suitable for a leisure trip.

After entering the official scenic area, we went directly to the pier to take a boat to visit the water cave. Finally, we saw the karst landform in the cave that I had been longing for. It was still very spectacular. It meandered through the mountains and finally came out of a very small cave. We went ashore and followed the instructions to go directly to the dry cave.

There is a group guided tour in the dry cave, and the walk is relatively fast. The various scenes in the cave are all up to imagination. After coming out of the dry cave, you will see the place where you can sit on the zip line. I am afraid of heights and refuse all stimulating amusement facilities. Friends who are interested can try it. It looks quite exciting.

In general, Tianhetan is worth visiting. You can also go there with the elderly and children. Plan a day and don't rush. It's like a super large park.

There is a bus to Huaxi under the elevated road at the exit of Tianhetan Scenic Area, which costs 5 yuan per person.

By Moon Li like a dream |

According to the introduction of Tianhetan, it is actually a water cave and a dry cave. Because the itinerary did not have time to go to Zhijin Cave, I chose this place to have a look.

The whole scenic area is very clean and quiet. I took a postcard at random, but the road signs are not very good. I found the sightseeing bus and went around in a circle... I took a boat to enter the water cave. The overall progress was very fast. The cave is narrow, so be careful to bump into it~ There are artificial elements. It takes a while to walk in the dry cave. It is divided into three themes: heaven, hell and earth. Under the magic of lights, all kinds of stones are also bizarre~ After this, we will go to a primitive cave on our journey, which gives people a completely different feeling~~

By Lu |

It's very beautiful, with ancient streets, waterfalls, caves and sea of flowers.

By Lawyer Bao who loves traveling |

I bought a pass that included the mountain and water waterfall, water cave and dry cave for 50 yuan. If you only visit the mountain and water waterfall, it only costs 10 yuan.

The main scenic area is mainly for viewing waterfalls and visiting caves. There are escalators in several places in the scenic area, which saves tourists a lot of energy and there is no additional charge.

The scenic area has been designed so that you can first take a boat to visit the water cave, and then immediately walk to the dry cave without going back.

The natural cave of the underground river is very narrow and has been artificially decorated. The end point of the cruise is the cenote, namely Tianhetan.

The stairs leading up to Tianhetan are probably only for staff. All tourists, led by the tour guide, enter the dry cave for a visit, which is 1,800 meters long. This is necessary because the light in the cave is very dim and there is no explanation. If you go in alone, you will be scared to death and have no time to think about what this looks like or that looks like.

The exit of the dry cave is at a high place, overlooking Wolong Lake and the waterfall formed by its water flow.

If you take the bus in the past, you can choose 701 or 211. If you take 701, there are no seats the whole way, so you'd better be prepared to stand for nearly 50 minutes. If you take 211 back, the aunties in Guiyang are so cruel. The transportation station is dilapidated and unbearable to look at. The environment of the scenic spot is average and I really don't think it's presentable... It is said that there is an entrance fee. Since I went there yesterday, the entrance fee was free. In short, it is not recommended...

In fact, it is not necessary to take the scenic area battery car to Tianhetan, unless you are very old or young with poor physical strength. You can walk there if you have time to queue up to buy tickets. Especially there are not many people at the ticket gate inside, so you don’t have to queue up. It only takes more than ten minutes to walk from the gate of the scenic area to the ticket gate, and no more than half an hour to walk to the elevator entrance of the scenic area.

By Xixi |

The ticket is 50 yuan, and you can take buses 211 and 705 to get there. The scenery is nice, and there are water caves and dry caves, which are worth visiting.

By Swinging Swing |

The scenery is nice, and the facilities inside are also good. There are many escalators installed, which are convenient for young and old to enjoy the scenery. If you don't visit the dry cave and water cave, the ticket is only 10 yuan, which is worth the money. The story town outside the scenic area is also beautiful and worth a visit

By Little Fairy |

If you have a short stay in Guiyang, this is a very suitable place to go. Half a day is enough. Although there are traces of artificial carving, it is worth it without the trouble of running far. I highly recommend the karst caves. The natural attractions are very beautiful and can really be called the work of nature.

By Claire Bear |

The magical karst landform, divided into water caves and dry caves, is extremely spectacular.

Tianhetan is definitely the best among all the scenic spots in Guizhou! It has scenery that is no less than 5A, and the ticket is only 52 yuan, including the boat ticket. I recommend you to go there, but I guess the price will increase soon. Because it is too cheap.

By Flying bleating sheep |

Very good, very good, I visited so many attractions in and outside the province, 52 yuan is worth it! ! ! Look at the pictures

Tianhetan is known as the concentrated bonsai of Guizhou's landscape. It combines mountains, water, secluded pools, waterfalls, canyons, caves and other elements. Among them, the water cave and dry cave are the most unique. After the renovation, the scenic area has added several humanized hand-held elevators, added music fountains, and a newly created water show landscape, which combines modern technology with the interior of the cave to give you a different visual experience. There is also a story street at the entrance of the scenic area, which is full of contemporary Guizhou delicacies.

By Xu Xiang's perspective |

There are rivers for boating, caves for exploration, and waterfalls for admiring. It feels like an excellent attraction that condenses the natural scenery of Guizhou and is very close to Guiyang.

By It would be better if Yueyue was a little more gentle |

Tianhetan Park will be closed for maintenance from July 13. I called customer service and they said it might not be open until October. There is an announcement on Weibo, please pay attention! ! ! !

By Sakura Butterfly Dance |

Hey~ I took several buses to go there, but in the end, Tianhetan was closed because of the flood control dike repair. I didn't care that everyone came all the way here. It was really depressing

By E-O-NO |

It's OK. I went there recently but I don't recommend going there recently because it's still under repair. So I suggest you go there after it's finished. If you go there now, you can only see the water show which is quite beautiful. You can't see other karst caves and flower fields. No tickets are required. Here are some pictures

It is known as the concentrated bonsai of Guizhou landscape. After upgrading and renovation, Tianhetan now has a tourist service center, Sun Plaza, Guiyang Story Street, waterfront leisure area, five-color flower sea, outdoor wedding lawn and other areas, and supporting cultural entertainment, catering and shopping, leisure and vacation, business meetings, folk experience, outdoor wedding and other diversified services. The newly created water show landscape combines modern technological elements with water culture, presenting the beautiful scenery of "one scene during the day and one show at night".

By Huludao |

I came here with my boyfriend. There is a saying that is particularly good: the most beautiful scenery should be appreciated with the one you love the most. Tianhetan has fresh air and pleasant climate. Walking on the Guiyang Story Street full of the style of the Republic of China, the staff dressed in the costumes of the Republic of China kept wandering around in my eyes, which was also very fun~~

By Wang Wei |

Many new attractions have been opened. The water show at night is really a must-see program, a must-see! ! The giant musical fountain, with dozens of meters of water columns swaying with the music, uses holographic projection technology to present a performance mode of "water ballet, folk songs and dances", which is particularly beautiful, truly realizing "one scene during the day, one show at night", big thumbs up! ! !

By Night Rain |

The main scenic area was not open. I spent two hours there and just walked around the lake. It was not as big as the park in Huaguoyuan = =. There was a place to see flowers, but the security guards would not let me in. It was depressing.

By ikjhnb |

There is no need to say much about the scenery of Tianhetan, it is indeed beautiful. Those who want to come and visit can stop hesitating, O(∩_∩)O Haha~ As someone who has been there, I will give you some suggestions. The tickets for Tianhetan Scenic Area are divided into three types: entrance tickets, boat tickets and passes. Based on my own personal experience, I suggest that you buy a pass for a better deal.

By NINI Forest |

It's a bit far from the city, but you can see that it's a very carefully built scenic spot. It's different from those ambiguous scenic spots. Many aspects are quite attentive. The main scenic spot was closed and I couldn't go in. Otherwise, the waterfalls, rivers and caves inside look pretty good.

By Zheng Jijiao |

Tianhetan has some waterfalls and water features. The scenery here is generally good. There are also some stalactite caves to visit. You need to take a boat to enter the water cave. The water cave is not big. You can walk into the dry cave. The stalactites inside are formed over many years. The lighting effect is very good. The dry cave is relatively large. It takes about two or three hours to visit the whole scenic spot.

By South Wall Boy |

Having been to many places, what I fear most is that the scenic spots have too many traces of human culture, and they all feel familiar. Tianhetan is a small epitome of Guizhou's landscape and customs. Of course, many cultural buildings have been built there, but they are all ancient buildings with old Guizhou characteristics. They are distributed in the Tianhetan with blue sky and clear water, and they are not abrupt and are very good.

I saw some comments complaining about the long ride time, so I'll say something too. The bus frequency has increased a lot now. Route 211 runs every ten minutes. It takes about half an hour to get there from Riverside Park. So, overall, it's not that long. After all, beautiful mountains and waters have to be a little far from the city, right? Moreover, the scenery of Tianhetan is really beautiful, and it's worth the long ride~

By He Min |

Tianhetan is more beautiful in person than just hearing about it. When I got here, I found it so beautiful. As someone who loves taking photos, I don’t need any beauty software on my phone at all. Every shot I take looks like a blockbuster. The colorful sea of flowers is so beautiful that I feel like I can take pictures of these flowers all day long, haha~~ Guiyang Story Street is also quite nice, with a strong Republic of China atmosphere.

Tianhetan, May 1, 2012, Guiyang.

By Qianfang Wonderland |

It's great here in the summer, but not so great in the off-season, so make the most of your time.

By China-TravelNote users |

Too many artificial landscapes and facilities have affected the beauty of the original natural bonsai! The ticket price is now 50 yuan, and the dry cave is not open.

By Happy Ranger |

Tianhetan is a scenic spot with typical karst natural scenery as the main feature and historical celebrities and hermit culture as the supplement. It has the geomorphic features of winding river valleys and steep gullies, integrating mountains, water, caves, pools, waterfalls, natural bridges, canyons, and hermits. There are caves in the mountains, water in the caves, the caves are empty, the empty mountains can hear the sound of water, and the blue pools are crisscrossed with waterfalls in various shapes. It is known as the concentrated bonsai of Guizhou mountains and waters, and is praised by the world as "the best in Qianzhong".

The scenic area is mostly human landscape. It is not big, and it feels like a small Huangguoshu. You can finish the tour in less than two hours. You can take bus No. 213 or No. 211 from Huaguoyuan Wetland Park to the scenic area. The closing time of bus No. 211 is 19:00 in the evening, and the closing time of bus No. 213 is 15:25. There are water show performances in the scenic area. There is one show at 11:00 in the morning, 15:00 in the afternoon and 19:30 in the evening.

By Joeshen |

It's a very nice park. You can take a boat to visit the cave. The air is very good. It's relaxing to swim slowly.

By A Little Star |

It is under renovation recently. The ticket is 50 yuan, and there is no student ticket. It is not recommended because the most interesting water and drought caves are not open. Now there are two parts to see, natural landscape and musical fountain performance. The natural landscape can be seen in no more than 1 hour. The musical fountain performance is once every hour, 10 minutes each time. Judging from the effect of the renovation, the scenic spot should be much more playable in the future. In terms of transportation, 211 takes about 50 minutes. It is not easy to take a bus on the way there, and the interval is long, but it is easy to take a bus on the way back.

By Lin Hao changed his name again |

I came here under the scorching sun. It is under construction now. Both the water and drought attractions are closed. Only the outdoor ones are left, and the ticket is 52 per person. I left decisively.

By Qinzhou Duoduo |

A scam attraction, all artificial, 52 yuan ticket, totally not worth it. The original natural landscape was changed to a mess, so sad. The only natural photo. Not even as good as 2A, it took 1 hour to go around. I don't know what kind of mentality people who say the attractions are good have when they visit, it's totally irresponsible.

By Raycd |

It is hard to imagine that there are so many waterfalls and caves in the suburbs of a big city. The waterfalls are not small. It’s just that the pass booked online is not cost-effective, as there are many unnecessary projects. In fact, the ticket is very cheap.

By Lonely√3 |

The first place I recommend when visiting Guiyang is this one. It has mountains, water, waterfalls, caves, and pleasant scenery. It is known as the concentrated bonsai of Guizhou's mountains and waters.

By Water Sky |

Guizhou Tianhetan Scenic Area combines the majesty of Huangguoshu Waterfall, the wonder of Dragon Palace and the beauty of Huaxi, with waterfalls, clear springs, deep pools, strange rocks, strange caves and natural stone bridges. It is a typical karst cave. Guizhou Tianhetan Scenic Area is divided into three parts: water cave, dry cave and outdoor scenic area. The water cave and dry cave are adjacent to each other. In front of the cave is a deep pool of clear water surrounded by cliffs. The water cave is more than 1,000 meters long, half of which is artificial and half natural. When you board a boat into the cave, you can identify different scenes one by one with the help of sparse lights and the guide's flashlight, which is quite mysterious. When you get out of the cave, you will see clusters of lush bamboos and a pool of green water without ripples. It is wild and quiet. This place is called "Zhulin Cuixi", just like a paradise. The dry cave has three floors, covered with stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars and stone curtains of various shapes. The third floor cave hall is spacious, with a natural stone bridge spanning two cliffs, known as the "Naihe Bridge". Under the bridge is an unfathomable Yintan. The scenery is so unique that it is amazing.
