4 Days Guizhou Xingyi Tour: Huangguoshu Falls, World-Record Bridges, Wanfenglin Karst

Welcome to Cool Guiyang! Upon arrival, our local staff will pick you up from airport.

Guiyang Arrival Ideas: Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport (KWE) is the main airport. It offers direct flights to major Chinese hubs like Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Xiamen, as well as international routes to Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore.

Then, drive 2.5 hours to Huangguoshu Waterfall, the largest waterfall in China and Asia. You will hear the roaring water a kilometer away, and admire the waterfall's dynamic views!

Back in the 17th century, the famous Chinese geographer and "pre-internet celebrity" Xu Xiake traveled to this site. His travelogue boosted the waterfall's reputation nationwide. Follow the same popular path he took:

Visit Doupotang Scenic Area (陡坡塘), a 105-meter-wide marvel nicknamed "Roaring Waterfall" for its thunderous wet-season flow. As a famous filming site for Journey to the West, it invites fans of the classic novel to recreate iconic scenes from the pilgrims' journey. Capture your own adventurous photos at this legendary location!

Next, explore the diverse Tianxingqiao Scenic Area (天星桥). With its interwoven stone forests and caves, every angle offers a fresh view for your photos. Be sure to see the Silver Chain Dropping Pool Waterfall (银链坠潭瀑布), where multiple streams dance across the rocks and gather into a shimmering pool—a truly unique natural spectacle.

Afterward, board a sightseeing bus to the magnificent Huangguoshu Waterfall (黄果树瀑布). Standing 77.8 meters high and 101 meters wide, this landmark features 18 distinct waterfalls that appear to fold into four beautiful layers. During summer floods, the volume cascades into a 17-meter-deep pool with enough force to fill 1296 swimming pools hourly.

Venture into the 134-meter-long narrow Water Curtain Cave (水帘洞) for a rare, close-up encounter before taking the escalator back to the main area.

Transfer to your hotel in Huangguoshu.

After breakfast, drive 30 minutes from Huangguoshu to Baling River Bridge.

Baling River Bridge (坝陵河大桥) is the icon of Guizhou’s "Bridge Museum." This 2,237-meter engineering marvel is a Luban Award winner spanning the Balinghe Canyon. Its red steel contrasts with the green valley. First, visit the Guizhou Bridge Technology Museum at its base. Then take escalator to walk inside the massive structure. Peer through steel grating 370 meters above the river. (Optional: brave the world’s highest commercial bungee).

In the afternoon, drive 1.5 hours to Huajiang Canyon Bridge (花江峡谷大桥), the world’s highest bridge, soaring 625 meters—equal to 200 stories! Spanning the dramatic "Earth's Crack," it offers stunning views of the deep, rugged canyon. Take the sightseeing bus and elevator to the glass walkway. Experience a unique sense of space, then relax at the Cloud Café. Sip coffee while peering through transparent glass into the emerald river 600 meters below.

After the bridge tour, drive about 3 hours to Xingyi for hotel check-in.

Today, have a Wanfeng nature tour.

First, visit Wanfenglin (Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks, 万峰林), one of China's most stunning peak forests. As traveler Xu Xiake noted, "Only here do peaks form a forest." This karst masterpiece blends ten thousand peaks with Buyi ethnic villages.

The highlight is the West Peak Forest, where a sightseeing bus winds along the mountainside. Marvel at the Eight Trigrams Field, a natural sinkhole wonder, and , and iconic landmarks like General Peak, Liuliu Dashun Peak, and Dashun Peak.

Second, take a cruise on Wanfeng Lake (万峰湖), southwest China's largest man-made lake. You can admire emerald waters submerging a thousand karst peaks, turning them into mystical islands.

Discover this "sea of mountains" through two unique ways: Choose a boat cruise to witness the iconic Jilong Castle standing lonely on its isle, or take a paddleboard to glide into silent, narrow fjords. Whether cruising or drifting, it is a deep dive into Guizhou’s serene karst beauty.

Stay overnight in Xingyi.
