点评:We flew to Guangzhou from Singapore and then transferred to a domestic flight to Guiyang. We arrived at Guiyang airport at about 1 pm and from the airport, we book a coach directly to Huangguoshu Waterfall. The coach only shuttled us at 3 pm. The transport charge is RMB 70. This is the shortest and most convenient way to reach Huangguoshu Waterfall. We also booked a hotel near the entrance of the attraction.
The following day at about 8 am, the hotel driver sent us over to the attraction. The admission ticket costs RMB 160 per pax but for seniors aged 65 and above, there is a discount of 50%.
The attraction is quite big and basically divided into 3 main sections: Doupotang Waterfall Scenic Area, Huangguoshu Waterfall, and Tianxingqiao Scenic Area. Most travel agencies would only cover the main Huangguoshu Waterfall and maybe Doupotang Waterfall areas. Tianxingqiao Scenic Area is very big and takes longer time to cover.
Many visitors started from the main waterfall and then explore the other two so that we can take photos before the crowds came. However, we decided to cover Tiangxingqiao (天星桥) then proceeded to main Huangguoshu Waterfall area(黄果树瀑布) and then to Doupotang (陡坡塘瀑布) which is a smaller area.
We were surprised to see a Bonsai Garden (盆景花园) at the entrance. There are a huge variety of bonsai and was told about 3000 bonsai pots. As it is the first stop near the entrance, it acts as a calm, aesthetic introduction before the dramatic waterfall. It gives a balance from delicate miniature beauty to massive natural force.
One travel guide pointed out that the cactus plants are more than 100 years old. Most tourists skip. My wife felt that the bonsai were not properly maintained and lack the aesthetic beauty. She is more interested in having a cup of coffee at Grandma's Kitchen Cafe.
翻译:我们从新加坡飞往广州,然后转机前往贵阳。下午1点左右抵达贵阳机场,之后我们预订了直达黄果树瀑布的巴士。巴士下午3点才发车,车费70元人民币。这是前往黄果树瀑布最快捷方便的方式。我们还预订了一家靠近景点的酒店。
第二天早上8点左右,酒店司机送我们去了景点。门票每人160元人民币,65岁及以上的老年人可享受半价优惠。
黄果树瀑布景区面积很大,主要分为三个部分:斗坡塘瀑布景区、黄果树瀑布景区和天星桥景区。大多数旅行社只安排黄果树瀑布景区,可能还会安排斗坡塘瀑布景区。天星桥景区面积很大,游览需要花费更多时间。
许多游客都先游览主瀑布,然后再去探索其他两个瀑布,以便在人潮涌来之前拍照留念。然而,我们决定先去天星桥,然后前往黄果树瀑布主景区,最后去面积较小的陡坡塘瀑布。
我们惊喜地发现入口处有一个盆景花园。那里有种类繁多的盆景,据说大约有3000盆。由于它是入口附近的第一站,因此在欣赏壮观的瀑布之前,它就像一个宁静而雅致的引子。它巧妙地平衡了精致的微缩之美与磅礴的自然力量。
一位导游指出,这些仙人掌树龄超过100年。大多数游客都会略过这里。我的妻子觉得这些盆景没有得到妥善的维护,缺乏美感。她更想去奶奶厨房咖啡馆喝杯咖啡。
