Overview
Visit Huangguoshu on the first day, stay in Xingyi and use the second day for Malinghe Gorge and Wanfenglin before returning to Guiyang. This two-day private route focuses on western and southwestern Guizhou; it does not include Libo or an eastern village circuit.
The base includes private road transport with a Chinese-speaking driver, one selected Xingyi hotel night, one adult breakfast and the listed adult visits. Specified local transport includes Huangguoshu scenic buses, Wanfenglin sightseeing transport and the Malinghe sightseeing elevator. Choose it for a compact nature trip with substantial driving and walking.

The two-day route
| Day | Visit and road stage | Night |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Guiyang pickup; Huangguoshu areas; continue to Xingyi | Xingyi |
| 2 | Malinghe Gorge; Wanfenglin; return to Guiyang | Not included |
Why stay in Xingyi?
The overnight moves you beyond the usual Guiyang-and-Anshun excursion. It creates a morning in the Xingyi area, followed by the limestone-hill landscape at Wanfenglin. It also means carrying luggage to another hotel and making the final Guiyang return after two visits on day two.
If cave scenery is the priority, compare the Huangguoshu and Zhijin Cave short break. For grassland and cave visits as well as Xingyi, the six-day southwestern circuit uses more touring days and separate arrival and departure days. Those differences matter more than the number of place names in the title.
Huangguoshu before the Xingyi night
Leave from the agreed Guiyang pickup for the open Huangguoshu areas. The planned sequence takes in Tianxingqiao, Doupotang and the main waterfall setting, using the included scenic buses between the operating visitor areas. Walking paths, steps and damp surfaces remain part of the visit.
An optional escalator is outside the normal base, and Water Curtain Cave access is not guaranteed. Do not choose a long walking section without allowing for the onward road stage to Xingyi. Agree the practical sequence with your driver around the park’s arrangements and your party’s pace.
Continue to Xingyi and check into the selected hotel. The overnight base does not promise a room inside Wanfenglin, a rice-field view or a particular hotel category. Send those preferences before accommodation is chosen. Lunch, dinner and independent evening outings are separate.
Malinghe Gorge and Wanfenglin
After the included adult breakfast, visit Malinghe Gorge with the listed round-trip sightseeing elevator. The lift reduces one part of the vertical transfer; it does not remove the gorge paths and steps. Tell us about knees, balance, wheelchair or pushchair needs before selecting the walking route.
Continue to Wanfenglin for the limestone-hill landscape, with the specified sightseeing transport. A visit does not guarantee flowering fields, golden rice, a particular weather view, a bicycle ride or access to farm land. Use the open visitor areas and leave time for the road return to Guiyang.
This is not a full day at either Xingyi attraction. If your priority is slow photography or staying among the fields, request a longer Xingyi stay rather than trying to add it after the scheduled visits.
Services and separate expenses
| Item | Included base | Separate or conditional |
|---|---|---|
| Road service | Private vehicle, Chinese-speaking driver and agreed destination transfers | English guiding, free-time transport and additional detours |
| Hotel and food | One selected Xingyi night on adult twin-share terms; one adult breakfast | Other meals, child meals, drinks and room supplements |
| Adult visits | Listed admission; Huangguoshu buses, Wanfenglin sightseeing transport and Malinghe elevator | Extra escalators, activities and any individual child costs outside the selected booking entitlement |
Children and onward connections
The listed adult band begins at twelve, with a child band from two to under twelve. The usual child accommodation base shares an adult bed and excludes meals. One adult travelling with one child needs a separate occupancy arrangement, and all travellers under eighteen need an adult companion.
Child ticket and transport benefits must be matched to the actual booking, age, height and document. A supplier promotion does not establish free entry for every child at every attraction. Have the child charges and any benefits written into the proposal.
Send the actual departure flight or train before fixing the last drop-off. The return follows Malinghe and Wanfenglin, so a nominal evening arrival in a sample schedule is not a safe connection guarantee. If heavy rain or a closure affects the walks, agree the usable alternative and any cost change before substituting a visit.
Request the route for your dates
Send dates, party size, children’s ages, twin or double room preferences, luggage count, arrival and departure details, walking limits and language requirements through Plan My Trip. Include halal dining, allergies and prayer breaks. An ordinary hotel breakfast is not represented as halal-certified; English guiding needs its own arrangement.
Bring the original document used for hotel and attraction bookings. Nationality and document type help arrange registration; a passport image is not required for the initial enquiry. Your proposal will identify the rooms, vehicle, meeting point, ticket scope and supplements. Price on request.
Explore Guiyang as the gateway, compare the Guizhou private tour collection and browse city and scenic journeys.
Plan the practical details
Use Guizhou itinerary and regional choices, Huangguoshu walking and cave reservations to match the route with your walking, hotel and transfer needs.
