Asia's largest waterfall.
The big Huangguoshu waterfall measures 81m wide and 78m high. It is located 45km from Anshun and is easy to reach from Anshun.
Here is how it goes:
• city bus 3 from the train station to the eastern long distance bus station (its terminus), 15 minutes, 1Yuan.
• bus from there for the Huangguoshu Waterfall site (its terminus), about 1h, 22Yuan.
• admission ticket for the national park, 90Yuan (if I remember well).
• transportation ticket, 50Yuan.
• car transportation to the Tian Xing cluster (Natural Wonders, Tian Xing Cavern and Yunlianzhitan Waterfall), included.
• walk between these spots and visits.
• the trail ends with an optional ropeway, 10Yuan (I took it).
• transportation by golf-cart back to the entrance of this first cluster, included.
• car transportation to the Huangguoshu cluster (Bonsai park and Huangguoshu Waterfall), included.

• an escalator is available to exit from the valley, 30Yuan, I skipped it.

A few meters later there is another barrier. They claim 50Yuan, and can't explain where it corresponds to (they don't speak English). Finally I bought that ticket, still ignoring its purpose. Soon later I discovered it covered the taxi rides (3 rides, maybe more).
