21℃ Fairyland Summer Resort! Waterfalls and Caves All Covered!

😎 Anshun’s summer knows how to surprise:
🌞 Shivering under the waterfall during the day,
🌙 Sweating while enjoying sour fish soup at night,
🌬️ A 21℃ breeze blowing over a 600-year-old stone city wall—
🤩 This is truly Guizhou’s most underrated fairy-tale town!

💧 Itinerary:
🗓️ Day 1: Double waterfall blast—White and Black
☀️ Morning: Head straight to Huangguoshu Waterfall (opens at 7:30), rush to Water Curtain Cave! Take advantage of fewer crowds for empty shots, raincoat a must (10 yuan each in the park).
🌤️ Afternoon: Watch the Silver Chain Drop at the lower section of Tianxing Bridge, chase the same rainbow as in Journey to the West at Doupotang.

🌃 Night highlight:
🌌 Night tour of the waterfall: Laser show on the water screen, blue-purple lights like the secret world of Avatar;
🎭 Journey to the West live show: Starts at 8:00 PM, Daughter Kingdom and White Bone Spirit scenes recreated, instantly transported to the 1986 classic.

🗓️ Day 2: Underworld adventure + Ming Dynasty time travel
🚤 Dragon Palace: Boat ride through the underground river, 800 meters of cave with colorful lights shimmering like dragon scales, constant 16℃ inside❄️! Beware of “free incense” scams.
🏯 Tianlong Tunpu: Watch local ground opera in the ancient stone village, descendants of Ming Dynasty military settlers still live here.
🌉 Night tour of Anshun Ancient City: Ride a black-awning boat across Sanyuan Bridge, the Zhongshu Pavilion’s light and shadow bookshelf is breathtaking.

🗓️ Day 3: Wild waterfall + secret light chase
🏞️ Dishuitan Waterfall: 6 km west of Huangguoshu, 410-meter drop undeveloped! Hiking downhill is steep and slippery (wear anti-slip shoes), mist hits like heavy rain.
🌊 Getu River: Rush into Swallow Cave before 9 AM! Between 9-11 AM, “Heaven and Earth Divine Light” penetrates the cave, Spider-Man-style free climb of a 108-meter cliff will blow your mind.

🍜 Food & Accommodation:
🍽️ Snack hotspot: Gufu Street!
😋 Wang Ji Wrapped Rolls (sour and spicy filling + thin rice wrapper)
🤤 Xiao Fang Claypot Cold Noodles (fermented bean curd soup base, spicy and addictive)

🏨 Accommodation:
🏡 Huangguoshu: Qianshouju (waterfall view from the window)
🌃 Anshun City: Bailing Hilton (Rainbow Mountain Lake night view is stunning)
