I thought Libo was already stunningly beautiful! Until I visited this place...

I believed the scenery of Libo was mesmerizing, but upon arriving here, I realized Guizhou's beauty far exceeds expectations. Taking your kids to Guizhou during summer vacation is an excellent choice, as it's the peak season for canyon waterfalls, making Guizhou breathtakingly beautiful! There are natural caves and crystal-clear rivers with water as pristine as Libo's and landscapes as picturesque as Yangshuo, all with fewer tourists, allowing you to fully immerse in the beauty. Guizhou hides such a beautiful, off-the-beaten-path gem—Luodian Daxiaojing. Here, you'll find bamboo rafts, floating markets, dragon fruit, and karst-formed caves and sinkholes, resembling a "blue gemstone." Opening hours: 08:30 - 17:30. Admission: Free. Here’s a six-day itinerary: - D1: Gather in Guiyang and check into Hotel M Gallery Guiyang. - D2: Travel from Guiyang to Huangguoshu Grand Waterfall. First, visit Doupotang Waterfall, where the ending scene of *Journey to the West* was filmed, then hike to the grand waterfall, exploring Tianxing Cave, Silver Chain Waterfall, and Water Stone Forest. Stay overnight again at Hotel M Gallery Guiyang. - D3: Depart from Guiyang for a cave exploration adventure and stay in the Astronomy Town. Visit mysterious karst caves—Guizhou was once an ocean billions of years ago, leaving rich marine fossils. Enjoy cave afternoon tea and experience the thrill of slacklining and rappelling. - D4: Visit China's FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope). Explore the Pingtang Astronomy Experience Museum, then head to the FAST observation deck for a panoramic view of the world's largest single-dish telescope. Stay overnight at Light-Year Hotel. - D5: Travel to Luodian Daxiaojing. Hike through the mountains in the morning to admire natural sinkholes. Learn paddleboarding basics with a coach and practice in designated waters. Later, hike to a cave photoshoot spot, where a photographer will capture the beauty of the karst landscape. - D6: Explore Qingyan Ancient Town before departing from Guiyang. Travel tips: - Guizhou's attractions are spread out. Parents who prefer hassle-free travel can opt for family-friendly tours, which include airport transfers, hotel stays, private transportation, and attraction tickets. - Guizhou cuisine tends to be sour and spicy. If that’s not to your taste, inform the server when ordering. - Pack comfortable sports shoes—they’ll make your journey much easier.
