Day 7

Today itinerary brought us to the south of Guiyang to see the beautiful Tianhetan. (read note below)
Tianhetan scenic area
Tianhe Pool Scenic Area combines waterfalls, crystal springs,
deep pools, stone bridges, unusual caves, and strange rock formations. This
scenic area is a typical Karst cave that features a stone curtain plus a great
number of stalagmites, stalactites, and stone pillars. It occupies an area of
15 square kilometers (5.8 square miles). The scenic area is an outstanding
tourist destination, full of beautiful natural scenery and cultural displays. (Google)
Sleep Dragon Shoal waterfall
Boat ride into and out of caves on underground river.
Into another cave
The Water Cave is 1,000 meters (0.6 miles) long, 80 meters
(262.5 feet) across at its widest, and 20 meters (65.6 feet) across at its
narrowest. Boats are available to visit the water cave. Rowing a boat and
enjoying the journey from the outside brightness to the inside darkness, and
then returning to the sunshine, is a wonderful experience for tourists. An
electric torch (flashlight) is recommended - the inside of the cave is rather
dark. Outside, below the water cave, is Crouching Tiger Lake, where various
farm equipments such as a water mill can be seen at a farmhouse. Caves and
verdant vegetation can be seen everywhere in Tianhe Pool Scenic Area. (Google)
