Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area

The real essence of Tianxing Bridge is almost all in the second half, and many teams only walked the first half due to time constraints. I feel sorry for them. There is no way. This may be the price of cheapness. You can't spend too much time at each point. We played at Huangguoshu Waterfall for two days, and it was really a bit tight to visit 3 points a day.

If you go with a tour group, you can only walk the first half. The tour guide will take you to Tianxing Lake and then leave. In the first half, there is nothing to see or do except the number of life stones. The water fountain of Tianxing Lake is a purely artificial attraction. The second half mainly has the Silver Chain Falling Beach, which is quite spectacular and worth seeing. It is not worse than the Huangguoshu Waterfall, but it is a pity that someone has polluted the environment. There are many plastic bottles at the bottom. I hope everyone who goes to the scenic spot can take good care of the natural environment.

Personally, I think Tianxing Bridge is more suitable for hiking enthusiasts. The cost-effectiveness of the visit is not high. It takes 3 hours to walk the whole way and visit. Fortunately, we divided the visit into two days, so it was not so tiring.

I am not very satisfied with the location of the shuttle bus stop for this attraction. It is about 50 meters away from the scenic area bus boarding point. I have to walk up and down the stairs. The design is not very reasonable.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area covers the largest area and is composed of three connected scenic areas: Tianxing Bonsai Scenic Area, Tianxing Cave Scenic Area and Water Stone Forest Scenic Area. Unlike the other two scenic areas that mainly focus on waterfalls, what you appreciate here is the combination of stone, trees and water.

Many travel notes and guides have mentioned that you must walk the entire route because the most beautiful scenery is in the second half. There are many stone forests in the front. Although it is very fun to walk through the water stone forest, there are also many tourists, especially tour groups. In the middle of the Gaolaozhuang scenic area, there is a halfway exit. Most tour groups and those with average physical strength leave here or rest and eat on the spot. Therefore, not only are there fewer people in the second half, but the beautiful Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall and stalactite cave are also in the back.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is a fully developed scenic area in Huangguoshu Scenic Area. The planned area is 7 square kilometers, and the developed sightseeing area is 4.5 square kilometers. It is divided into three connected areas, namely: Tianxing Basin Scenic Area, Tianxing Cave Scenic Area and Water Stone Forest Area. There are dense stalagmites, lush vegetation, and water scenery here, integrating mountains, water, forests and caves. Every stone under your feet in Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is called a "sun stone" to represent every day.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is one of the three scenic areas in Huangguoshu. It is located in the southernmost part, 9 kilometers away from the ticket office of the scenic area. You need to buy a 50-yuan tourist bus ticket from the ticket office to take the bus. Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is mainly known for its landscapes and pastoral scenery. There is a Tianxing Lake with a small surface and clear water. The big banyan trees and many cacti in the scenic area are worth seeing!

I only bought the ticket, but not the bus ticket. I regretted it as I walked. It was so far. Later, the police helped me stop a car, so I walked less. You must buy the ticket + bus ticket to Huangguoshu. The first place I went to was Tianxing Bridge. It was during the Golden Week of October 1st. If you ask me how I felt, it was to see people. This is a very unique place. People stepped over the stones in the pool one by one.

This area is very large. Even if you walk fast, it will take 3-4 hours to see it in a hurry. Be careful not to leave at Gao Laozhuang. The tour guide seems to not let tourists go down. The tour guide will lead the team out at Gao Laozhuang. In fact, there are beautiful attractions such as Tianxing Cave, Water Stone Forest, and Silver Chain Pendant Pond below. But after the tour group left, there were fewer people at the back, and you can have fun quietly. In the first half, I think the Changsheng Stone is a bit interesting. Tianxing Lake is similar to the lake in a big city park, with a few small fountains. Gao Laozhuang is not a village, nor is it the home of the second brother. It is just a shopping mall area where things are sold.

After passing Changsheng Stone, Tianxing Lake, and Gao Laozhuang, you have to walk a long mountain road, and there are strange mountains, rocks and flowing water to enjoy along the way.

The second scenic spot: Tianxing Bridge, downstream of the waterfall group, do not go back, once you enter the scenic area, it feels like stepping into a tropical rain forest. You will see the beautiful banyan tree entwined on the boulders, with lush branches and leaves, covering the sky. Be especially careful when walking, as there are often protruding stones or tree roots entwined in the stone steps. Passing through the trees, ponds and stone forests, you can also see many cacti growing densely in the cracks of the stones, and then you will come to Gao Laozhuang, where pavilions and terraces are leaning against the water, curved railings are circling the lake, and eaves and corners stand by the water. It is a fairyland on earth in the misty rain.

The highlight is after Gaolaozhuang. The plank road was closed due to flooding, so the most beautiful Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall could not be seen. So we left the scenic area from the middle exit. Near the exit, we saw many stalls selling long meat-shaped stones, which were very lifelike.

If you travel with a tour group, the tour group will not take you to the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area, they will only take tourists to Gao Laozhuang.

Go directly to the Doupotang parking lot and take the scenic bus to Tianxing Bridge. It was relatively early when we arrived, and many tour groups had not arrived yet, which is why we chose to visit the Tianxing Bridge scenic area first.

It has been raining for the past few days, and the stone road in the scenic area is a bit slippery. The stone road in the scenic area is up and down, and it is still a bit strenuous to walk, but the air is very fresh, breathing the air of the southwest of the motherland makes us feel happy. The unique stones of the karst landform and the lush green trees are everywhere. There are good backgrounds for taking pictures.

People who like to travel quietly are more suitable to come to Tianxing Bridge, where the scenery is beautiful and there are fewer people, most of whom are independent tourists.

The tourist boarding point for Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is really far away from the scenic area, and it took a long time to get there.

It is an easily overlooked tourist attraction, but it is actually quite worth seeing. It is filled with strange rocks and trees. The most impressive one is the Silver Chain Falling Pond Waterfall. Because it has rained in the past few days, the water flow is still quite sufficient. Just like its name, the turbulent water like a silver chain rushes to the middle from all sides. Although it is not spectacular, it is very unique and gentle.

There are 366 stone steps at the entrance of the Star Ferry Bridge, representing the 366 days of a year. If you are interested, you can find your birthday stone and see if there is a celebrity born on the same day as you. It is very interesting to walk along the numbers and look at them for the first time.

There is also a Gao Village here. Yes, that Gao Village, the filming location of the 1986 version of Journey to the West. It was here that Zhu Bajie flirted with Miss Gao, and it was also here that he was teased by Sun Wukong and became the disciple of Tang Monk.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the largest scenic area, and it takes most of the day to walk through it all. The guide I checked before said that the main attractions are concentrated in the second half. We hired a local tour guide to take a shortcut, skip the first half of the scenic area, go straight to Gao Laozhuang, and directly enter the second half of the scenic area.

The scenic area is full of green mountains and clear waters, strange trees and rocks. The huge rocks here are like a big eagle looking back and looking into the distance. Looking back after the cableway, the rocks in the distance look like ancient official hats. The tour guide said that taking a look can "get promoted and rich"! Continue to move forward and look back to see the Tianxing Bridge you just passed. This is a naturally formed arch bridge, about 30 meters between the two mountains. It is amazing that nature has created this natural arch bridge. Going down the mountain road, the river in front of you is the filming location of the Liusha River in "Journey to the West". However, the water volume is small now, and you can't see the momentum of "eight hundred quicksand realms, three thousand weak water depths, goose feathers can't float, and reed flowers must be low". After passing the Yinlian Zhuitan Waterfall, the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is coming to an end. Finally, you can take the cable car to leave the scenic area. Looking down at the scenic area from the air is another experience.

Gao Laozhuang is where you will find two impressive scenic spots in the first half. One is the stone walkway engraved with 365 days of the year. Many people will find their birthdays on it. The other is a cave, which I think is more beautiful than the one in Dragon Palace. There are more tourists in the first half and it is more prone to congestion. There is an exit at Gao Laozhuang. If it is a team that includes both Huangguoshu and Dragon Palace in one day, many tour guides will take tourists out at this exit. It is recommended to continue to visit the second half, where there are fewer people and the Silver Chain Pendant Pond is more essential, but it takes a long time and you will not have time to visit Dragon Palace on the same day.

As one of the three major scenic spots, the Tianxing Bridge has nothing to see in the first half. I was still doubting whether it was really a 5A-level scenic spot at the beginning. Then the high energy came later. First, there was the Tianxing Cave. This was my first time to see a cave. I was really amazed. Then I came down from the Tianxing Cave and saw a spectacle of river water surging up from underground. Then there was the Yinlian Zhuitan Waterfall. When floods occurred on a large scale across the country, the water here was extremely turbulent and spectacular. As a beginner photographer, I had no way to take good pictures of this spectacular scene, so I had to record videos one after another silently. Hold on to your mobile phones, don't drop them in the water! It is recommended not to spend too much time in the first half. Find your birthday at the Shusheng Stone and take a photo.

Tiansheng Bridge is the largest of the three scenic spots in Huangguoshu. It is a scenic spot that integrates mountains, water, forests, caves, roots, stones and waterfalls. The tour group only walks the upper half and exits at Gao Laozhuang. The lower half is the most classic, and the whole journey takes three hours. Counting the steps of life, one stone is one step, and each step is one day, a total of 365 steps, each step is written with a date, exactly one year, everyone can find their own date of birth, very creative, and stop in front of their birthday steps to take pictures. Walk along the lower half of the plank road. Since the tour group does not walk the lower half, there are fewer tourists. The lower half of Tianxing Bridge has beautiful scenery and few people. It is definitely worth wasting time and energy here.

The road is quite narrow. If you get lost, just turn right when you see a road and you will be able to get out.

I met a girl at the entrance of the Tianxing Bridge. She asked everyone passing by if they wanted to hire a tour guide. No one paid attention to her. Then I saw her hanging her head with disappointment on her face. I felt sorry for her. Unfortunately, I didn't have money to hire a tour guide TT

There are small corns for 10 yuan for three in the scenic area, and small kiwis for 10 yuan each. They are all very delicious! Really delicious, highly recommended! We only bought one of each at first, and then we wanted to buy more, but they were out of stock. We couldn't go back to buy more, so we could only continue on our way with regret!

The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the farthest from the Huangguoshu Waterfall. You need to take the scenic shuttle bus to the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area and the Huangguoshu Scenic Area. You can walk to the Doupotang Scenic Area from the ticket office without the scenic shuttle bus. You need to swipe your ticket for each scenic area, so don't lose it. Walking into the gate of the scenic area, you will instantly enter another world. The tall banyan trees completely cover the sky, and a stone road in the dense forest extends to the depths of the scenic area. Admiring the scenery along the winding path of Gao Laozhuang has a sense of "withered vines, old trees, crows, small bridges, flowing water and people's homes".

The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is quite large, with many small attractions. You will pass by them one by one if you walk slowly. The first attraction is Shushengbu, which has a total of 365 streets, each with a date. I found the one with my birthday and found that Mouchun and Marie Curie had the same birthday, haha! Then you will pass Gao Laozhuang, Qiaoshangqiaoshangqiao, and Tianxing Cave. Tianxing Cave is really worth a look. Some tourists returned after just two steps in. In fact, you only need to take two more steps to reach the center of the cave, and the journey is not long. Coming out of Tianxing Cave is almost the Silver Chain Falling Pond Waterfall. This should be the most powerful attraction of Tianxing Bridge. The whole waterfall is like a big funnel. It is really the first time I have seen it. It is a very different waterfall! After walking here, the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is almost over. We chose to take the cable car out. Ten yuan per person is not expensive. You can feel the beautiful scenery in the sky!

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area: Located 6 kilometers downstream of the Huangguoshu Waterfall, it is a typical karst landform, divided into three major areas: Tianxing Bonsai Area, Tianxing Cave and Water Stone Forest. Here you can enjoy the wonderful combination of stone, tree and water, and it is a natural scenic area formed by the transformation of the water stone forest. There are all kinds of strange peaks and rocks in the Tianxing Cave Scenic Area. The 4 large stone pillars in the scenic area reach the top of the cave, and each stone pillar is more than 20 meters high, which is very spectacular. There are dense stalagmites and lush vegetation here, integrating mountains, water, forests, caves, roots, vines, stones and waterfalls. It is praised as a "Wanqing Bonsai" carved by "wind knife and water sword" and a "eternal painting" of "root pen vine ink painting silk". The first half is mainly to see the wonders of mountains and rocks, and the second half is mainly to see the beauty of water. Suggested playing time: 1 hour in the first half, and about 3 hours for the whole play.

The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area has lush vegetation, changing scenery, birds singing and flowers blooming, and a blend of mountains and water. Mountains, water, stones, waterfalls, trees, and caves are beautifully integrated. The scenic area is very large, sometimes quiet and sometimes imposing. I personally think it is the most worthwhile to visit, and I like the feeling inside. Shushengbu is the first scenic spot of Tianxing Bridge. Sideways Rock (really only sideways), Beauty Banyan, Tianxing Lake, Xianren Mountain, Tianxing Cave Scenery, ... all show the unique charm of Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. There are also wild figs and other unknown flowers and fruits, gurgling water in the river, birds singing and insects chirping, walking on the sightseeing plank road, watching the bargaining between roadside vendors and tourists, leisurely, and feeling a sense of tranquility in my heart. There is a funnel-shaped silver chain falling pool waterfall, and the trees, water, bridges, and caves of Tianxing Bridge can be seen everywhere. The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is very large and wide, and it is worth slowing down to appreciate its beauty.

The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is 6 kilometers downstream of the Huangguoshu Waterfall. The scenic area consists of the natural bonsai area, the Tianxing Cave Scenic Area and the water stone forest Scenic Area. It integrates the essence of karst landforms, and combines mountains, water, forests, caves, roots, vines, stones and waterfalls into one. They are of different shapes but closely connected. It is praised as a "vast bonsai" "carved by wind and water swords" and a "masterpiece of all ages" "painted on silk with roots, pens, vines and ink".

Tianxing Bonsai Area: Located on the underground surface of Sancha River and on both sides of the river, it is an aquatic stone forest landscape with large and small natural rocks and water stone bonsai.

Tianxing Cave Scenic Area: In the middle section of Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area, among the colorful and ever-changing peaks and rocks in the cave, there are 4 large stone pillars reaching the top of the cave. Each stone pillar is more than 20 meters high. There are clusters of stone flowers on the pillars, like carved dragons and phoenixes, with bright colors.

Water Stone Forest Area: After the waterfall water gushes out from the underground stream, it flows about 1 km to the Water Stone Forest Area. The river water separates from the top of the stone forest, circulates on both sides, and then converges below, surrounding a stone forest in the water. The water in the area is winding and the stone forest is dotted with stars, emerging from the water.

The Huangguoshu Scenic Area is very large, including three scenic areas: Doupotang, Tianxing Bridge and Huangguoshu Waterfall.



The order of my tour is Huangguoshu Waterfall, Water Curtain Cave, Doubotang and Tianxing Bridge.



It takes a whole day to complete all three tours. I got on the scenic area sightseeing bus at around 7:00 in the morning and left the scenic area at around 5:30 in the afternoon.



There are only three places worth visiting in the entire scenic area, in short, the three waterfalls. The Tianxing Lake Water Forest and other attractions that we passed while walking are completely uninteresting and feel like small attractions that are just there to make up the numbers.



One is the Great Falls (including the Water Curtain Cave. You must wear a raincoat when passing through the Water Curtain Cave, otherwise you will become a drowned chicken. Raincoats are sold inside and outside the scenic area, and the price is about the same.)

The Water Curtain Cave is very interesting, but it will be super crowded during peak hours, and it will take a long time to walk through the cave. So you either go to the waterfall early in the morning when the tour group has not arrived yet, or go to the waterfall around 4pm when the tour group has left.



The second is Doubotang Waterfall, which is said to be the location for the 1985 version of Journey to the West where the four masters and apprentices led their horses across the river.



The third is the Silver Chain Falling Pond Waterfall at Tianxing Bridge (you will pass by Tianxing Cave on the way, so if you are interested in caves, you can go in and take a look)



Tianxing Lake is the dividing point between the upper and lower parts of the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. Personally, I feel that there is nothing interesting or fun to see in the upper part. Anyway, I was concentrating on walking and didn’t take many photos.



Generally, tour groups will leave the scenic area through the exit next to Tianxing Lake after reaching it, but the most salient attraction of Tianxing Bridge, the Silver Chain Falling Pond Waterfall, is in the lower half, so if time permits, you must visit the lower half.



The most worth seeing at Tianxing Bridge is the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall. Usually, tour groups go to Tianxing Bridge, walk to Tianxing Lake and then return. They will not go to the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall, so it is not recommended to join a tour group at Huangguoshu.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area in Guizhou is located 7 kilometers downstream of the Huangguoshu Waterfall. It mainly enjoys the wonderful combination of stone, tree and water. It is a natural bonsai area formed by the transformation of the stone forest on the water. The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is roughly divided into two parts. From the gate to Gao Laozhuang is the first half, mainly visiting the stone forest on the water, and from Gao Laozhuang to Yinzhuitan Waterfall is the second half. Generally, group tourists only visit the first half, so there are more tourists there. The bus rushed to the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. On the way, I met a staff member and chatted for a few words. When I said there were a lot of people, she replied that there were actually not many people now. There is no need to queue for the bus. When there are many people, you have to wait for an hour to wait for the bus. One of the great benefits of traveling during the epidemic is that there are fewer people. A lot of queuing time is saved. The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the farthest from the gate among the three scenic spots, and the bus takes about half an hour. The scenery of the Tianxing Bonsai Scenic Area in the first half is still good, with gurgling water under the rugged rocks, and trail stones arranged by date. Find your birthday and take a photo. The second half of the route is surrounded by mountains and water, with green trees and shade, giving people a feeling of returning to nature. It is a rare place to get close to nature. At the end of the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the Yinzhuitan Waterfall. It is only more than ten meters high, with a funnel shape on the top and a trough-shaped molten pool at the bottom. The stone bags raised on the edge of the pool are like lotus leaves covering each other, interlaced and connected. The river water spreads evenly on each leaf surface, flowing freely, like thousands of large and small silver chains, slowly falling into the molten pool with a sound, never ending. The water of Sancha River is divided into strings of beads by the travertine beach and falls into the deep pool. It is the most beautiful waterfall in the Huangguoshu Waterfall Group. Originally, we could take the cable car back to Gaolaozhuang after passing the Yinzhuitan Waterfall, but when we got here, it happened to rain and the cable car was closed, so we had to walk back to the exit in the rain. Although the road was not difficult to walk, it took at least half an hour longer. It took nearly 20 minutes to walk from the exit of Gaolaozhuang to the bus stop. We spent about 3 and a half hours in the entire Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area.

First go to the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area, because the big waterfall is backlit in the morning, and the sun will not shine on the waterfall until after noon, but there are more people at that time. The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is quite large, and it takes 2.5-3 hours to walk the whole way. The scenic area is divided into two sections, the upper half is from [Shushengbu] to [Tianxing Lake (Gaolaozhuang)], and the lower half is from [Tianxing Lake] to [Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall]. The most representative of the entire scenic area is [Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall], and the others are some man-made landscapes and natural scenery. In general, the scenic area lacks characteristics. If it is not included in the ticket for the Huangguoshu Scenic Area, it is estimated that few tourists will go to this scenic area specifically.

The scenic area is quite large. At the beginning, there is a stone forest pond, like a miniature bonsai; then there is a forest area with various large banyan trees; after a lake, it is the essence. You must walk to the end, and the various small waterfalls and water forests are breathtaking. Although the Silver Chain Falling Pond Waterfall is just a stream flowing over a rock, it can be said to be the most beautiful waterfall I have ever seen.

The front half of Tianxing Bridge is mostly man-made landscape. The pool is paved with stones with dates. Visitors walk along the stones of different sizes, and sometimes they will pass through natural stone caves. The passage is not difficult. Children like to jump on the stones. In addition, many tourists will stop to take pictures, which will cause congestion on the path. There is no long stop in the first half. It takes about 30 minutes to walk briskly. When you arrive at Gao Laozhuang, those who don’t want to go forward can turn right and return. Visitors who are willing to walk the second half can continue through the pavilion in the front left. There are two roads ahead. You can take the water route along the river, or you can choose to go up through the cave. The afternoon sun is still so scorching, and we chose to go through the cave. It is indeed a lot cooler in the cave. Guizhou has many mountains and many caves. There is nothing special about the caves here. The space in the middle is large, and no matter how many people come in, it will be diluted. The stalactites on the ceiling are staggered layer by layer. The road coming out of the cave and the waterway overlap all the way to the end. The most quintessential attraction in the scenic area is the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall near the end. The river water is surging and majestic, all gathered here like a big funnel, rushing towards the deep pool. Watching the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall is the meaning of coming to Tianxing Bridge. We were reluctant to leave here for a long time. The power of nature is so great that we really have to sigh!

The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is located seven kilometers downstream of the Huangguoshu Waterfall. The main attraction here is the wonderful combination of stone, tree and water. It is a natural bonsai area formed by the transformation of the stone forest on the water. If the Huangguoshu Waterfall is characterized by its majestic grandeur, the Tianxing Bridge area is exquisite and beautiful.



In fact, the scenery here is better than that of Doupotang, but it is a little further away.

Tianxing Bridge is the most downstream scenic spot of Huangguoshu Scenic Area. The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is actually very large and is divided into the upper and lower parts, with the essence in the lower part. The upper part takes about 1.5 hours to visit, where you can see the Shushengbu (stone slab trail in the water), banyan trees, volcanic rocks, etc. Generally, tour groups only visit the upper part; the lower part takes about 2.5 hours to visit, where you can see the Tianxing Cave, Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall, etc., which are the essence of the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. Self-guided travelers must go to the lower part. If you are in a hurry, you can consult the staff at the entrance of the scenic area and only visit the lower part.

However, when we went there, the guardrails of the back half of the scenic area were washed away by the flood, resulting in the closure of the back half of the Tianxing Bridge. It was tragic that we didn’t get to see the scenery there. You know, I had been looking forward to the Silver Chain Falls for a long time! I only found out on the first day that the back half of the Tianxing Bridge was closed!

The first half of the Star Ferry Bridge is quite fun walking on the water trail, but this section is not photogenic.

The Tianxing Bridge scenic area is divided into the upper and lower parts. The upper part is more man-made, while the lower part is more natural. Because of the heavy rain this year, the Tianxing Cave has been flooded with water. For the safety of tourists, the lower part is closed and it is still closed today. All tourists can only return to Gaolaozhuang. Two-thirds of the area cannot be visited, which is a pity.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is a fully developed scenic area in Huangguoshu Scenic Area, which is divided into three connected areas, namely: Tianxing Bonsai Area, Tianxing Cave Scenic Area and Water Stone Forest Area.

The first half of the Tianxing Bridge is very narrow. You have to bow your head or bend your body to pass through many stone crevices. This place should have been an ocean hundreds of millions of years ago. You can leave the scenic area when you reach Gao Laozhuang. However, it is recommended to walk the second half. The Tianxing Cave and Yinlianzhutan Waterfall behind are the key points. Tianxing Cave is a large karst cave with many strange stalactites. Yinlianzhutan Waterfall is a funnel-like waterfall, which belongs to the waterfall type waterfall. The stone bags raised on the edge of the pool are like lotus leaves covering the bottom, staggered and connected. The river water spreads evenly on each leaf, flowing freely, like thousands of large and small silver chains. It took 2 and a half hours to complete the whole journey, and it took more than half an hour to wait for the car. I have to complain about one place, that is, queuing up from here. Everyone is in a queue, whether going to the next scenic spot or to the gate of the scenic spot, which makes the queue take a long time, and it should be diverted.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is located 6 kilometers downstream of Huangguoshu Waterfall. There are three connected areas here - Tianxing Bonsai Area, Tianxing Cave Scenic Area, and Water Stone Forest Area. Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area has dense stalagmites and lush vegetation, integrating mountains, water, forests, and caves. It is praised by tourists as "Wanqing Bonsai" "carved by wind and water swords" and "eternal painting" "painted on silk with roots, vines, and ink".

The second stop of Huangguoshu Scenic Area is Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area, which is the largest and takes the longest time to visit. Tianxing Bridge is very interesting, with Gaolaozhuang as the boundary. The first half is bland, while the second half is full of climaxes.

The first half of the way before Gao Laozhuang is just ordinary vegetation, lakes and rocks. It is said that some tour groups and uninformed tourists arrived at Gao Laozhuang, took photos at the ordinary Tianxing Lake, and turned to the exit to walk out of the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. It must be said that this is a real rip-off.

Continuing forward from Gaolaozhuang, the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area enters the second half: the water stone forest, which is similar to the water forest of Xiaoqikong in Libo. The trees in the water are not as dense as those in Xiaoqikong, but the water surface is wider and the water flow is faster. If you keep going forward, you can see the extremely shocking Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall. It must be said that this is the most essential page of the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area.

Different from the large waterfall that is high and straight, the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall is a collection of waterfalls. The high and low protrusions of the boulders on the riverbed force the ferocious and unruly water flow into different units, forming clusters of small waterfalls flowing in different directions. The small waterfalls intertwine, fight and merge with each other, forming the most lively and agile Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall seen in Guizhou.

After seeing the Silver Chain Falls, the Tianxing Bridge is coming to an end. It takes a while to walk from the exit of the Tianxing Bridge scenic area to the sightseeing bus stop, and it is uphill all the way, which is a bit strenuous.

I personally think that among the three scenic spots in Huangguoshu, Tianxing Bridge has the best scenery, which is worth at least 70% of the ticket price, provided that you visit the second half. Tour groups only visit the first half and leave at Gaolaozhuang. The essence can be said to be in the second half. It takes about 3 hours or more to visit the entire Tianxing Bridge scenic area. The first half is mediocre, and only the huge ancient vines with tangled roots are amazing and memorable. The second half has the Maoshuitan, the Water Stone Forest, etc., with deep gullies and turbulent water, and the most beautiful, the most essence, the most turbulent and the most imposing is the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall! The splashing water mist hits you in the face, and the sound of water roars, as if thousands of troops are rushing into the valley, with drums beating and roars coming, or like a giant dragon that can't stop, rushing and rolling, with no end in sight, only huge waves surging to the sky... After the tour, you can take the shuttle bus for free with your ticket at Juxianlou. The end point is Gaolaozhuang, about 1 kilometer away. Then you have to walk 500 meters to the Tianxing Bridge gate to take the sightseeing bus.

This scenic spot is right next to the Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is very convenient to get there. The scenic spot is very large and there are many classics inside. It is worth seeing. Photography enthusiasts can take pictures non-stop, but be careful because the roads are all stone.

The first attraction that impressed me the most in Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the "Shu Sheng Bu". The stones in the water are naturally formed. Some of the stones have been processed and paved into roads, which are exposed above the water for tourists to walk on. One stone is one step, and one step is one day. There are a total of 365 stones of various shapes winding in the water, which is exactly one year. Except for those whose birthday is on February 29th, everyone has a share.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is a natural bonsai area formed by the transformation of the stone forest on the water. It may be because it was cloudy, so I felt that there was nothing special. Walking to Tianxing Lake, it seems that this is the filming location of "Gao Laozhuang" in "Journey to the West" where Zhu Bajie carried his wife.

After passing Tianxing Lake, you will arrive at the karst cave wonder - Tianxing Cave. Various stalagmites are set against colorful lights, making it look exquisite and magnificent.

After passing Tianxing Cave, we came to the Water Stone Forest Scenic Area, where "water flows on rocks, rocks grow on water, and trees grow on rocks" is a true portrayal of this place. When the water moves, it is completely dynamic compared to the previous water bonsai area.

The Silver Chain Falling Pool Waterfall is super stunning and breathtaking

If you go to Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area, you must visit the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall, otherwise you will really regret it.

The scenery is great and the environment is nice, it is worth a visit.

The scenery in the first half of the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is average, and the highlights are in the second half. However, tour groups only walk the first half, so those who travel independently must remember to walk the second half!

It is more beautiful than Huangguoshu Waterfall and Doupotang Waterfall. It is worth a visit.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is located in the lower reaches of Huangguoshu Waterfall and is divided into three areas: Tianxing Bonsai Area, Tianxing Cave and Water Stone Forest. Here you can enjoy the wonderful combination of stone, tree and water, and it is a natural scenic area transformed from the water stone forest.

The Tianxing Bridge scenic area is very large, but it is said that the highlights are all in the lower half. The upper half is the tour route for tour groups, and you will see the stone forests on both sides through the bridge on the water. In the lower half, you can see the Tianxing Cave, the bridge on the bridge, the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall, etc. One of the three major scenic spots of Huangguoshu~

The Tianxing Bridge scenic area is composed of many stones, which turn around.

The big waterfall is OK, but the Tianxing Bridge is just an ordinary man-made park, and the management is not very good. I left before I finished my visit. The road condition from the highway to the scenic area is average, and the sanitation is very poor. On the way back to the highway, it took an hour to walk 6 kilometers. There was a traffic policeman, but he didn't care about the traffic jam, just posted tickets on the roadside. I won't recommend friends to go there. To see the waterfall, I still recommend going to Chishui, which has much better management and sanitation.

If you don't come with a tour group, you really need to be prepared to walk all the way - it's really a long way! ! A bit tiring! The overall scenery is beautiful, just to tell everyone that if you come, you'd better be prepared to walk a lot and wear comfortable shoes.

A great place for taking photos

Unfortunately, I am a novice in photography

There are many cacti growing in the scenic area, some of which have become woody, a very unique landscape

The Tianxing Bridge scenic area is relatively large and is expected to take 2-3 hours. Once you enter, you will see that many rocks are covered with cacti. The "mountain" is also known as "smooth sailing"

The main reason we came here was to see the waterfall. To be honest, I didn't feel anything about the bonsai area in the front. It felt like a complete waste of time. If there was a path leading directly to the waterfall behind, perhaps we could save half the time.

The sightseeing bus took us to the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is quite large. When passing by the tour group, the tour guide told us that there is no turning back at all the attractions here! The Tianxing Cave, the Bridge on the Bridge on the Bridge and the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall in the second half of the trip are the essence of the entire scenic area.

There were too many people. It suddenly rained heavily when we were at the Tianxing Bridge. People were crowded together with umbrellas. Every shot had the atmosphere of an art film.

Tianxing Bridge is part of the Huangguoshu Scenic Area, which is adjacent to the Huangguoshu Scenic Area. The scenic area is not small, with typical karst landforms of strange peaks and rocks and valleys, which is worth a visit.

Each stone under your feet in the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is called a "sun stone" to represent each day. The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area also has natural landscapes such as the Beauty Banyan Tree, the Fairy Mountain Palms, the Crooked Comb Stone, the Panda Embracing Bamboo, the Eagle Spreading Wings, and the Bridge on the Bridge on the Bridge.

It is much more interesting. There are cacti growing on the top of the mountain. There are rocks in the river, and each rock has a time number on it, which is the birthday of a world celebrity. These numbers are from small to big. This is a good idea.

The scenic area becomes deeper and deeper, with tangled vines entwined in the trees, silver waterfalls and setting sun, and endless gullies. You can drill holes or cross rivers, which is very interesting.

After the rain, the water surface of Tianxing Bridge appears yellow-brown. Although not as green as usual, it has its own charm. The picture composed of the sky with floating white clouds, lush green trees, and dark brown rocks adds a bit of handsome and tranquil artistic conception.

The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the largest and takes the longest time to visit, requiring 4 hours.

The first half is the filming location of Gao Laozhuang in the 1986 version of "Journey to the West". Many people go back halfway, but the real beautiful scenery of Tianxing Bridge is actually in the second half.

Personally, I don't like the Tianxing Bridge scenic area. It doesn't feel like a waterfall at all. The front half of the Tianxing Bridge is the filming location of Gao Laozhuang in Journey to the West. Our tour group only took us here. It is said that the real beauty is in the second half. You can see the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall after passing the Tianxing Lake.

The first half of the scenic area is mainly about the wonders of the mountains and rocks, while the second half is mainly about the beauty of the water. Permeating the entire process are green trees and green wind.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the most karst scenic area, which takes the longest time to visit. I personally think it is the essence of Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area! The stone forest on the water is still very interesting. You can see cacti growing on the stone forest, and then walk on the water in various ways, including suspension bridges, stones, forest trails, and wooden plank roads.

Compared with the magnificence of Huangguoshu Waterfall, the charm of Tianxingqiao Scenic Area lies in its natural beauty.

After walking up 365 steps and then walking along the forest path for about a quarter of an hour, you will reach Gao Laozhuang, where you can enjoy the beauty of the banyan tree and other sights along the way.

After passing through various strange rocks, we arrived at Gao Laozhuang below, which was one of the filming locations of Journey to the West. Tianxing Lake has a surface area of 8,100 square meters. The surrounding scenery is somewhat different from the natural bonsai we just walked through. Coming here gives people a feeling of a new world after a dark period. Here is the "Gao Laozhuang Pig Bajie Qing Xifu" shooting point of "Journey to the West".

We have finished visiting the first half of the Tianxing Bridge scenic spot here. There is an exit of the scenic spot at Gaolaozhuang. Due to time constraints, we took a sightseeing bus directly from here to the next scenic spot. In fact, the scenery in the latter part is more beautiful. It is recommended that friends who have plenty of time continue to walk to the back.

Mountains, water, karst land, caves and vines, one of the filming locations of Journey to the West.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is a place that travel agencies rarely visit because it takes too much time and is not suitable for the elderly and children. In fact, it is not difficult to walk, but it takes too long. So, in the afternoon, we booked the whole place and the number of people decreased. We like this feeling, with fewer people, quieter scenery and more beautiful scenery. There are many cacti in the scenic area.

The Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall is probably the most beautiful place in Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. The water flows down and converges together, which is particularly beautiful.

At the end, we took the most rip-off cable car, with a ticket price of 10 yuan. From the ticket price at that time, we should be able to judge how rip-off it was. What kind of cable car only costs 10 yuan? The cable car ride was over in less than 2 minutes. However, it is not over after taking the cable car. You still have to transfer to the battery car, which takes about ten minutes to almost reach the exit of the scenic area. Please note here that it is almost there, not arrived. From the place where you get off the bus, in order to let you pass through the shopping area, you still have to walk for about 20 minutes to reach the exit, and then take the bus back to the visitor center... It is really hard to imagine. But overlooking the scenery below from the cable car is also unique.

Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the largest of the three scenic areas and takes the longest time. Most tour groups will choose the general route below, but they will miss the most exciting bridges on the bridge, Tianxing Cave and Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall. Of course, the niche route we chose takes 3 or 4 hours to visit. It requires some leg strength and physical strength, so it is not recommended for parents and children and the elderly.

The first half of the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is a scenic area similar to the Stone Forest, and the first half takes about an hour.

The second half of the Tianxing Bridge is the highlight of the scenic area. There are not only stone forest canyons, but also caves and the most spectacular silver chain waterfall. The second half passes through colorful and ever-changing peaks and rocks.

I like the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall here. The Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall is located on the upper left of the Water Stone Forest in Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. Listen to the sound first and then see the scenery. When you see the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall, you will be amazed. The previous roads have not been walked in vain. It is worth seeing such a waterfall! Among the Huangguoshu Waterfalls, the Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall is not won by its height, nor by its width or size, but by its intricate manner and the sound of the waterfall, which makes people not want to leave after seeing it. This waterfall is only more than ten meters high, with a funnel shape on the top and a trough-shaped molten pool at the bottom. The stone bags raised on the edge of the pool are like lotus leaves covering the bottom, interlaced and connected. The river water spreads evenly on each leaf surface and flows freely, like thousands of large and small silver chains, slowly falling into the molten pool with a soft sound, and it will never end...

The essence of the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is all in the second half. You must go to see the Yinlian Zhuitan Waterfall. The bonsai area in the front is also very beautiful, with scenery everywhere. If there are few people, you can also take beautiful photos. Gao Laozhuang has the most people, and most tour groups gather here. After passing it, it is another beautiful scenery. There are no more attractions after passing Feipu Bridge. It is recommended to take the cable car to save effort. After getting off the cable car, there is a free shuttle bus that will take you to the Gao Laozhuang exit. Then you need to walk to the entrance of Tianxing Bridge to take the scenic bus to the next attraction.

The first half of Tianxing Bridge is quite elegant, with small mountains and waters, wooden plank roads, small rocks, and many living stones, but it feels like there are too many artificial landscapes. After Gao Laozhuang, there are more natural landscapes (the most beautiful is the second half). Tianxing Bridge is really too big, and we were so tired that we hardly took any photos in the second half. We can take a cable car out, which costs 10 yuan each. We still insisted on walking to where we could take the free shuttle bus and took the shuttle bus back to the gate of the scenic area.

I was traveling by car. I bought a full ticket for three scenic spots at Huangguoshu Scenic Area for 160 yuan. First, I visited the Great Falls. I felt that the momentum was okay. Because the water volume of the waterfall was still very large. Unfortunately, the Water Curtain Cave was always closed and people were not allowed to enter. There were too many people and the bridge was too small. The most common sentence I heard was "Please let me take a photo." Then I went to Doupotang. I just wanted to see the scene of the four masters and apprentices in Journey to the West walking on the top of the waterfall. The other scenery was man-made. What made me particularly angry was that there was a parking lot near the entrance of the scenic area. It was fenced off from a distance to prevent outside cars from entering. Only local sightseeing cars, taxis and local cars were allowed. I also have money to pay for parking. Why did you do this? Just because we didn't pay the 50 yuan sightseeing car fee? We had to walk 2-3 kilometers to the entrance of the scenic area. There was no clear road sign. When I asked the staff of the scenic area, their attitude was simply to ignore us. They were not as sincere as the two guys who were working on the roadside. We took a lot of wrong roads and our feet were blistered. We just returned to Guizhou after a trip to Yunnan. How can the difference be so big? Everyone in Yunnan is very polite and friendly. At least the staff of the scenic spot, the hotel owner, the restaurant owner and even the waiter I met are all very sincere and enthusiastic. When I arrived in Guizhou, it felt like a century had passed. Do you really think we should come to your place to play? Don't you know that the purpose of tourism nowadays is to enjoy the service as the first purpose? If you don't change, the so-called "Journey to the West" will never "remember" you Guizhou!

You must visit the Silver Chain Pendant Pond in the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area, and the Tianxing Cave is also worth a visit. If you have good legs, you may not need to buy a ticket to the scenic area. After arriving at the entrance, walk about 200 meters along the road and you will see the flaw!

The Tianxing Bridge scenic area is very large and it takes more than 3 hours to visit. It should be noted that there is an exit at Gaolaozhuang, which is a halfway exit (prepared for tourist groups). Do not go out, but continue to visit downwards. (There are eye-catching reminders)

It still takes some time to complete the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. Generally, the travel agency team will not take the guests for the whole journey. They will lead the team out at the Gao Laozhuang scenic spot, so they will not see the iconic classic scenery Silver Chain Pendant Pond, the Water Stone Forest, the Pearl Waterfall, and the Tianxing Cave. Therefore, friends who travel independently must not give up the whole journey, although it is a bit tiring. Walking the entire Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is the most time-consuming place among the three core attractions. First walk the natural stone bonsai, water flows between the stones, and people walk in the bonsai. It is quiet and beautiful, but it feels worse when there are many people. However, after passing the Gao Laozhuang scenic spot, the travel agency team will go out in the direction of the exit, and many free-travel guests will naturally follow the majority of people. Therefore, as long as you look at the instructions and continue to walk towards the Tianxing Cave and Silver Chain Pendant Pond, you will enter the deep part of the scenic area. Since the travel agency does not take this route, there will be many fewer people, and the streams, waterfalls and trees along the way will make you walk comfortably. Tianxing Cave is a place with stalactites. If you go there many times, you will find that they are all the same. If you keep going, you will reach the Silver Chain Falling Pool Scenic Area. The white stream rushes down beside a circular drop pool. Thousands of waterfalls are painted into incredible giant silver chains, falling to the bottom of the pool. The sound of water and the scenery weave together, which will make you stop breathing instantly. This attraction is very classic and has been used on many covers and magazines. It would be a pity if you don't go to see it. It takes about four hours to complete the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area. If you take some photos and have some fun, four and a half hours or five hours is enough.

The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is very large and takes three or four hours. The stone scenery, water scenery, tree scenery, and cave scenery of the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area are magically integrated together. There are stones on the water, caves in the stones, and trees next to the caves, which is shocking. I have to admire the uncanny workmanship of nature. Take out your mobile phone or camera to take pictures. You can get rare landscape photos with just a casual shot here. In the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area, tour groups usually only go to the first half. In fact, the second half is the focus. In the second half, there are eroded caves in the karst landform. It was the first time I saw a cave. It was still very beautiful under the light. In the second half of the scenic area, there are many waterfalls, which are magnificent, just like the Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake's great praise for the Huangguoshu Waterfall.

Compared with the three main attractions, Tianxing Bridge has the most attractions. It is very convenient to transfer to the sightseeing bus in the middle of the attractions, so I didn't take a taxi. The photos were taken on the sightseeing bus.

There is a distance between Doupotang and Tianxing Bridge, and the scenic area bus took more than ten minutes.

The Tianxing Bridge scenic area is quite large, so the flow of people is divided at once, and the highlight is in the second half. But it is said that most tour groups do not go to the second half, and leave at Gao Laozhuang.

There are 365 stone blocks with dates written on them as soon as you enter the Qixing Bridge Scenic Area. It's quite interesting. You can find your own stone and take a photo.

The first half of the trail was basically just rocks and woods. After passing Gao Laozhuang, the second half of the trail started, with more natural landscapes and fewer people, only in groups of two or three.

The Yinlianzhuitan Waterfall is worth seeing. The Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area is very large, and we walked fast, so we played for about two hours. You can take a cable car at the exit for 10 yuan per person, or you can walk out. We chose to walk.

The Tianxing Bridge is the largest and whirlpool-shaped waterfall in the scenic area that left the deepest impression on me. The highlight is this waterfall that almost became a whirlpool.

We obviously went out early to avoid the National Day holiday, but there were still many people, including uncles and aunts.

The only thing that I found special was that there was a date on the stone slab, which was quite interesting.

After entering the entrance of the scenic spot, walk along the main road until you reach a small shop. The tour groups usually leave there and will not go any further.

Don't go out of that door, keep walking forward, and then take a cable car for a few minutes (￥10/person), where you can see a small waterfall and a stalactite cave.

Tianxing Bridge is a scenic spot worth visiting. The Silver Chain Pool Waterfall is really beautiful! It really touched my heart! Hahahaha! You can't capture its beauty with a mobile phone, you need to be there in person!

The Tianxing Bridge scenic spot has a half-way exit. Tourists who are short of time or physically exhausted can exit at the halfway exit. However, I personally think that more attractions worth visiting are in the second half. After visiting the scenic spot, you have to go back to the bus station to queue up to get on the bus and leave the scenic spot.

There are 356 birthday stones at Tianxing Bridge. Everyone can find one. It is said that making a wish while stepping on your own birthday stone is very effective.

The scenery is pretty good, but it's a bit far and a bit tiring to walk the whole way.
