Hot Spring Hotel throughout the trip. This journey perfectly combined natural wonders with a relaxing vacation!
🏨 First, let's talk about the hotel everyone cares about most:
The Anshun Yueman Zhi | CINEMAMTHSCENERYVACAY Hot Spring Hotel is located at No. 8 Tiantaishan Avenue, Anping Street. The location is very convenient, and if you're driving, there's free parking right at the entrance. Soaking in a hot spring after returning from the canyon is incredibly refreshing~ This hotel has a movie-themed design style, and our room came with a giant projector screen, creating a fantastic ambiance for watching movies at night. I loved their hot spring pools the most; the water quality was very clean, and the room had its own private hot spring bath. They even thoughtfully provided tools for "stove-side tea brewing" (my photos on social media got so many inquiries, haha). The service was also super nice; the front desk lady not only helped us plan our route to Huajiang Grand Canyon but also recommended a beef noodle shop that locals absolutely love! However, I recommend choosing a high-floor room; on lower floors, you might occasionally hear equipment running, but after we switched rooms, it was perfectly fine~
🗺️ Three-Day Itinerary Highlights:
【Day 1】Arrive in Anshun → Check into hotel → Watch sunset at Tiantaishan
In the afternoon, we arrived at the hotel and soaked in a hot spring to relax. At 5 PM, we headed straight to Tiantaishan, near the hotel. A 20-minute climb led us to a breathtaking sunset over the karst landscape (remember to wear non-slip shoes!). In the evening, we used the room projector to watch the Guizhou episode of "Aerial China" to preview tomorrow's attractions – full marks for a sense of ritual.
【Day 2】Huajiang Grand Canyon → World's First Tallest Bridge
Here's the highlight! We drove for 1 hour to Huajiang Grand Canyon. This hidden gem in the Beipan River is absolutely stunning—(Key points!)
① Must-visit Glass Observation Deck: A transparent platform extending 200 meters out from the cliff, with a 400-meter deep canyon directly below. Not for those with a fear of heights, but it guarantees 200% amazing photos.
② Canyon Rappelling: Coaches lead you in rappelling down an 80-meter sheer cliff, as thrilling as skydiving (book in advance!).
③ World's First Tallest Bridge: The Beipanjiang Bridge on the Hangrui Expressway. The bridge deck is 565 meters above the valley floor, equivalent to a 200-story building. Drone aerial photography can capture its spectacular panoramic view spanning two mountains.
Tips: Be sure to leave early! The best light in the canyon is from 10 AM to 2 PM. We asked the hotel to pack breakfast for us to eat on the way, saving half an hour of prime photo-taking time.
【Day 3】Relax at the hotel hot spring → Cherry Blossom Garden → Return trip
On the last day, we slept in, soaked in the hot spring while enjoying the cherry blossoms outside the window (a limited view from March to April). Before leaving, we also tried the sour soup fish recommended by the front desk – a spicy and satisfying Guizhou specialty!
💡 Practical Tips:
1. Transportation: A taxi from Anshun West Station to the hotel takes 30 minutes. For Huajiang Grand Canyon, I recommend chartering a car (approx. 300 RMB/day).
2. Gear: The canyon is windy, so bring a jacket. Wear non-slip hiking shoes. A phone lanyard is essential (don't ask how I know).
3. Tickets: Huajiang Grand Canyon + Glass Skywalk combo ticket is 168 RMB. Buying online one day in advance saves 20 RMB.
4. Hidden Gem: Ask the hotel for a "Pingba Cherry Blossom Map." In March, you can also visit the ten-thousand-acre cherry blossom garden along the way (40-minute drive).
The biggest surprise of this trip was the contrast between the hotel and the attractions – adventuring in the wild canyon during the day, then relaxing at the well-designed hot spring hotel at night. Two Instagram nine-grid photos couldn't even capture all the perfect shots! Finally, a reminder that Anshun's attractions are quite spread out, so choosing the right accommodation location can really save you half your energy~
