Overall it's ok, if you buy a guest, you can queue less! But the sanitation inside the guesthouse is average. When it rains, the ground is full of water, and there are no anti-slip measures. I saw several people fall. I hope the scenic spot will improve in the future!
It was very nice. We went there during the rainy season. The waterfall was very spectacular. The only drawback was that some attractions were closed during the rainy season. I will go there again next time if I have the chance.

The unique karst landscape is worth exploring and exploring at your leisure. Three parts natural, seven parts imaginative, the landscape takes on different forms from different angles. It's truly a marvel at nature's uncanny craftsmanship!
I've been here several times, and this time I brought my elderly family members. Summer vacation is incredibly crowded, and the experience is significantly reduced. Many scenic spots are packed and overcrowded. I really don't recommend coming during the summer; you'll spend a lot of time waiting in line.

It would have been quite convenient to walk from Gantong to Xima Cao and then pay the 50 yuan per person difference to take the cable car down the mountain, but now you have to climb 1,200 steps to get to Xima Cao, which is a bummer. They are currently building another staircase or elevator nearby, so it may be improved in the future.
The cable car is the first choice for parent-child travel. The pool water is much clearer. The queue for the battery car in Longmen Scenic Area is too long, so I gave up decisively. It is still necessary to walk around Nie Er's Tomb after getting off the cable car.

It's okay. It's a bit tiring to walk around, so I decided to take the train. As for the attractions, some are beautiful, while others are not so interesting. In short, I still have to come and experience it.
The Dongfengyun Scenic Area is absolutely worth a visit! The architecture is unique, and the red-brick Kaleidoscope Art Gallery feels like a fairytale world, making any photo shoot a standout. The lush greenery and fresh air of the park make for a truly relaxing stroll. There are also a variety of unique shops offering interesting souvenirs. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the experience is fantastic. I highly recommend a visit!

It was the first time I saw such a large cave. It was very spectacular. The cave is 3.4 kilometers long with many steps. You can climb up and walk down. There are stalagmites, stone pillars, stone shields, stone curtains and other shapes that make people linger. Everyone walked through the entire cave in the form of a walk. It was very hot if you walked too much. If you walked slowly, it would be very cold at 14 degrees in the cave. It was a mixture of hot and cold. It is a scenic spot worth visiting.
Zhijin Cave is worthy of its 5A rating and is truly worth a visit. The cave is filled with bizarre peaks and jagged rocks. The entire walk takes less than an hour and a half, making it easily accessible to both the elderly and children. The Grand Canyon itself was average; the 60 yuan ticket only covers the sightseeing bus and elevator, and the boat ticket must be purchased separately. After visiting the area, I found that ticket prices for scenic spots in Guizhou are quite high, especially the sightseeing bus tickets. Furthermore, a single scenic area is often divided into two or three sections, requiring sightseeing buses and separate tickets to travel between them, making it quite complicated. Overall, the average price per person for the entire trip was around 200-300 yuan.

It was a worthwhile and wonderful trip. Thanks to Ctrip for arranging it. The free day on the last day was like an extra day of leisure time because our flight was late. The hotel had average reviews online, but I thought the transportation was very convenient. We visited most of the planned attractions. It was a very happy time with the Luo family.
There are lots of performances every day, and it's always fun when I bring friends from other provinces. You just have to immerse yourself in it, hahaha. Nowadays, many buildings have restaurants (specializing in their respective ethnic groups), which is quite fun. You can enjoy roasted milk fan in the Bai village, and there are Dai-style restaurants in the Dai village. Restaurant prices are generally comparable to those outside the scenic area, so they're very affordable.

There's no way to finish exploring it! The zoo is so huge! My kids think it's even bigger than Chimelong Zoo! And there are so many interactive areas with the animals! Monkeys, raccoons, parrots, sea lions, tigers... The key is that the area is so large! With so many people, the restrooms are still clean, tidy, and spacious! It's really hard to do that!
Good place for families and for folks who like animals. Very large zoo and need to book the park tour instead of walking.

I came here in early spring when the rape flowers were in bloom and chose to hike 20 kilometers. In fact, there are many trails leading to the outside of the scenic area, and you don’t necessarily need to buy a ticket if you hike.
It's truly beautiful, and the trip was well worth it. I was initially hesitant about driving from Xiaoqikong to Wanfenglin, but after the trip, I definitely didn't regret it. Be sure to buy a ticket for the sightseeing bus. There are six stops along the way, and the scenery is stunning. If you have time, rent an electric car to explore the village at the foot of the mountain. Children can enjoy fishing in the rice paddies and riding the miniature train.

It was about to rain, but it hadn't stopped yet. I took the shuttle bus up the mountain and then slowly walked down. It was a bit strenuous, but very good for my lungs. There weren't many people, and most were devout. The Buddha was incredibly compassionate, the Guanyin statue in the Longhua Pagoda was resplendent and elegant, and the colorful Cloud Pond, marveled at the interplay of light and cloud, was less captivating due to the weather. After visiting Dianxi Wetland Park, I was exhausted and took a taxi back to the city. The ride-hailing driver I met in Mile was incredibly friendly, a kind of Buddha-like friendliness.
The scenic spot is very nice and worth a visit. There are sightseeing buses that go directly to the top of the mountain to see the Giant Buddha, and then walk down the steps. On the way, you can see the Buddha's hand, pagoda, and other things. You can check them out one by one. I recommend buying a one-way ticket for the sightseeing bus and walking down. The scenery is also nice, and it's a good place to take a leisurely walk and breathe in the fresh air.

The overall experience was good. The train took five hours to go round trip, stopping at two stations, and ended with a visit to the Tuanshan Folk Houses. The evening intangible cultural heritage performance was a great experience, and you could tell the company was dedicated to the cultural tourism. The service was attentive, and the performers were very dedicated and put in a lot of effort. For a county-level intangible cultural heritage performance, it was quite good.
I highly recommend the Jianshui meter-gauge train. Tickets must be booked on Ctrip at midnight three days in advance, and it's best to book a morning train. The train stops longer at noon, allowing time for shopping, dining, and rest. The scenery along the way is stunning, especially for the elderly and children, as you don't have to walk. It's highly recommended.
