No regrets! I could go on countless family trips to Guizhou~

Recently, many people have said that traveling in Guizhou can be disappointing, but as someone who just returned from Guizhou with my child, I have to share my honest experience: a family trip to Guizhou is definitely worth it! The scenery is beautiful, there are many activities, and kids can have fun while learning. Planning to go again this summer~✈️ 【Experience Report】 🌊 Huangguoshu Waterfall: Truly worthy of being called China’s number one waterfall. Seeing the waterfall cascade down from a great height in person was so stunning! We took the sightseeing bus with the kids for a close-up view and also enjoyed the waterfall afternoon tea, sipping tea while watching the waterfall. The kids were excited the whole time. Highly recommend kids wear waterproof shoes~ ⛰ Cave Exploration at the Earth’s Core: Following a professional team with flashlights, crossing dark rivers, the kids learned to identify fossils with the coach and even touched rock walls that are over a hundred million years old. They kept saying “So cool!” the entire time! 🏜 Maling River Canyon: Known as “the most beautiful scar on Earth,” this canyon waterfall cluster is shrouded in mist, with thousands of waterfalls forming streams, like a fairyland~ We chose to hike here, and the waterfall views along the way were spectacular. Although a bit tiring, the kids walked the whole way by themselves! Bring rain gear because no matter the weather, there are many waterfalls in the canyon and it’s easy to get wet~ 🛵 Wanfenglin: At Wanfenglin, you can bike or take a small train. I recommend biking—rent a family bike and leisurely enjoy the peak forest. We caught fish in the rice fields with the kids and experienced rural fun. The kids had so much fun they didn’t want to leave~ 🏰 Jilong Fort & Wanfeng Lake Cruise: Jilong Fort is a romantic spot for wives, located in the middle of the lake, like a dreamy castle—great for photos! We took the kids on a boat cruise on Wanfeng Lake, enjoying the lake breeze, which was very soothing~ 📅【Our Itinerary】 Day 1: Arrive in Guiyang—Hotel Day 2: Guiyang—Huangguoshu Waterfall—Waterfall Afternoon Tea Day 3: Huangguoshu—Cave Exploration at the Earth’s Core—Stay in Mushroom House Day 4: Maling River Canyon—Wanfenglin Day 5: Jilong Fort—Wanfeng Lake Cruise—Return 💡【Tips from Experienced Travelers】 🔸 Weather: Guizhou’s weather changes a lot, with temperature differences between day and night. Bring a light jacket for the kids to add or remove layers as needed, and don’t forget sun protection. 🔸 Transportation: Guizhou has many mountain roads, so self-driving is not recommended! We joined a family tour with a driver who was very steady on mountain roads, making it easy to relax and take care of the kids. 🔸 Food: Must-try dishes include sour soup fish and silk rolls. Many Guizhou dishes contain houttuynia; if you don’t like it, tell the restaurant in advance when ordering. 🔸 Gear: Non-slip shoes, mosquito repellent, and waterproof phone cases are essential. Carrying a small backpack is more convenient for cave exploration. - 👉【Charter Tours】 【Customized Tours】 【Private Groups】 are all available~ To get the same itinerary, tap the bottom left of the screen 【Chat with Them】 to get a plan! -
