💎 Practical Tips Summary
1. Accommodation preference: For deep or multi-day trips, strongly recommend booking hotels inside the scenic area to save on entrance fees. Options range from high-end hotels like Miao King Hotel and Canyon Hotel to the distinctive Qian Academy Hotel and Yanbang Inn, all very good.
2. Advance reservation: Private cars cannot enter the scenic area directly. Park in designated lots, then go to the visitor center to check in (or buy tickets), and transfer to the shuttle bus to enter the village.
3. Dining recommendations: Although there are many restaurants, they are very popular during National Day. To avoid queues, consider dining at hotel restaurants, or visit the snack street earlier or later to avoid peak times.
4. Gear tips: Most paths in the village are stone slabs, so wear comfortable, non-slip shoes. Weather in Guizhou mountains is changeable, so bring a light jacket.
