Huangguoshu Travel Q&A

From our Huangguoshu Travel Guide.

When is the best time to visit?

June to August has the heaviest flow and the best rainbows — bring a raincoat. Spring and autumn are quieter.

Can you walk behind the waterfall?

Yes — the Water Curtain Cave runs behind the main fall; you will get wet, so use the provided raincoat.

How long do I need?

One full day covers all three areas; two days add Tunpu villages and a slower pace.

Is it crowded?

Very on weekends and holidays; arrive at opening (7:00) and take the shuttle bus first thing.

How do I get there?

Anshun is connected by rail from Guiyang (about 1 hour), then a 40-minute bus or taxi to the falls.

What does a ticket cost?

The combined ticket covers the waterfall, Tianxingqiao and Doupotang, plus a mandatory eco-shuttle.
