- Huangguoshu Scenic Area: (1) The Water Curtain Cave Scenic Area is located within the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area. If it is closed due to rain or maintenance, or if you do not have a reservation, you will not be able to visit. There will be no extra refund. Please be aware of this. (2) Tianxing Bridge, Doupotang, and Huangguoshu Waterfall are all located within the Huangguoshu Scenic Area. The tour guide may adjust the order of the three scenic areas according to the actual flow of people on the day in order to make it more reasonable to avoid peak travel times. The Water Curtain Cave is a free attraction within the Huangguoshu package ticket. However, due to the narrow road and limited capacity, the scenic area implements time-limited reservation for visits. If the reservation is full, you will not be able to visit (reservations cannot be guaranteed during May Day, National Day, and the peak season in July and August). Please be aware of this.
- Libo Xiaoqikong: Because Xiaoqikong Scenic Area is located in a canyon area, it is prone to flooding during the rainy season. If Xiaoqikong is closed due to weather conditions, the attraction will be changed to Dushan Tiandong Scenic Area, and the difference in ticket price of 40 yuan per person will be refunded.
- Accommodation in Xijiang: (1) Guizhou is rainy, and Xijiang is located in a mountain valley, so the rooms are inevitably damp. (2) All guesthouses in Xijiang are folk-style inns, equipped with air conditioning and water heaters, but they are not as good as hotels of the same level in the city. In addition, each guesthouse has a small number of rooms, so you may stay in several guesthouses. There are no luggage carts in the scenic area, so you need to carry your own luggage and walk (10-20 minutes) to the scenic area to check into the hotel. It is recommended that you bring a light backpack or handbag when you travel so that you can pack your luggage a day in advance and enter the village lightly. (3) The guesthouses in Xijiang with views are backed by mountains on one side and have views on the other side. Room assignment is random and there is no guarantee of a view. (4) Due to the remote location of Xijiang, the ingredients cannot be transported in time, resulting in fewer types of dishes. The food quality is lower than that of Guiyang. Please understand.
