Brand new way to play: You can freely check in at the winery halfway up the mountain to taste the Miao people's "biangdang wine" - rice wine that is not only drunk on the feet but also on the head, and check in at the popular coffee shop to take a break and find the authentic Xijiang flavor.
We will stay in the scenic area that night and have free time at night. We recommend going to the observation deck to overlook the panoramic view of Xijiang River, appreciate the dazzling night view of Xijiang River, and feel the magnificence of the "Miao People's Potala Palace".

All day
Tourists who get up early can go out for a walk and watch the smoke rising from the Miao village at sunrise. This is a wonderful moment in Xijiang.
After breakfast, we will head to the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area, a famous tourist attraction in Guizhou. We will spend two days exploring the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area, known as the world's wonder, at different times of the day.
First, we headed to the Doupotang Waterfall Scenic Area, the filming location for the 1986 version of Journey to the West. Atop the waterfall is a vast 15,000-square-meter karst pool, formed on a calcified beach bar that meanders over 100 meters long.
There is also a special phenomenon in Doupotang Waterfall: every time before the flood comes, the waterfall will make a "boom, boom" roaring sound, so it is also called "Roaring Waterfall".
Afterwards, we'll take the scenic shuttle bus to the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. We'll have plenty of time to explore the entire first and second half of the tour! Experience the stunning scenery of Tianxing Bridge, including the Tianxing Cave, the floating stone forest, and the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall, where gushing springs and cascading waterfalls can be seen everywhere.
