Attraction Address

The Tianyan Scenic Area is located in Pingtang County, Guizhou. It’s about a 2-hour drive from Guiyang Airport, super convenient!

🏨 Accommodation

Stay at the China Tianyan Beyond Light Years Hotel. Only guests staying at this hotel can enter the core area of Tianyan!

Passing through the cave feels like entering a paradise, the beautiful scenery makes you want to stay forever.

🚗 Attraction Transportation

It’s recommended to rent a car and drive yourself because the Tianyan viewing area is about 6 kilometers from the hotel, and you need to drive following the staff’s car.

👍 Children’s Study Tour Arrangement

💗 Other Tips

1. When visiting Tianyan, you cannot bring mobile phones, digital cameras, or other electronic devices. You can rent a vintage film camera at the reception center for 300 RMB, which includes film (cash payment). After the visit, staff will take out the film. You can take the film with you to develop yourself or have it developed on-site for 50 RMB (on-site development only provides digital photos, and you are responsible if the film is damaged).
2. This kind of study tour is way better than the typical photo-stop travel groups! Kids not only have fun but also learn a lot, leaving a deep impression and gaining a lot.
3. The China Tianyan Beyond Light Years Hotel is the only hotel located in the core area of Tianyan. If driving, remember to download offline maps in advance because there is no phone signal once you enter the core area!
