Things to do in Xiuwen

This is my second time bringing my kids here. As they are happy, I am happy too. During the rafting process, I found that the safety measures here are sufficient. My two kids floated ahead of me and I arrived safely at the destination.

The Taoyuan River rafting is excellent, offering plenty of excitement and being relatively safe, but it must be done on a sunny day because the water is extremely cold. Overall, it's all worth it.

The zoo experience exceeded our expectations; the three of us had a wonderful time. The attractions were larger and more varied than we imagined, and most importantly, there were many opportunities to interact with and feed the animals. Feeding the tigers and lions from inside the vehicle was absolutely amazing!

This scenic spot is well worth a visit for beginners or those who admire Wang Yangming. It's the birthplace and culmination of Yangming's philosophy of mind. With its beautiful scenery, pleasant landscapes, and rich intellectual content, it's definitely worth a trip.

The park is quite large, with a wide variety of attractions. I guess not many people know about it, so there are relatively few visitors. There's no queue for each attraction; the staff will help anyone who wants to try it, whether it's just one or two people, start it. This is a great touch. The staff were friendly and patient with reminders, even with relatively few people. A great place to take the kids out, highly recommended.

I arrived 5 minutes early, and the lecturer, Keju, immediately started and continued until 3:05 PM without a break. He covered everything from ancient Guizhou to Qing Dynasty Guizhou, and the lecture was quite comprehensive. It seemed that Keju really enjoys reading and has a rich knowledge base. He was also quite experienced in interacting with children, and the kids listened with great interest. It was very good.

Very fun! Highly recommended. The arrangements were good. A safety briefing was given before the activities began, and hot showers followed – the water pressure was great and comfortable! Some details could be improved, such as the lockers. Is it too much trouble to collect and refund the deposit? Also, the 30 yuan for the "Liberation Shoes" (a type of traditional Chinese shoe) is better included in the total cost; charging 30 yuan on-site is inconvenient. The shower facilities were excellent, and the staff were very friendly!

Located at No. 187 Zaoshan Road, Yunyan District, Guiyang City, only 1.5 kilometers from the city center, the park was established in 1957 and is a national 4A-level scenic spot. Admission is free (reservations required), Hongfu Temple incense and flower tickets cost 2 yuan, and cable car/zoo services are charged separately. It integrates mountains, forests, springs, lakes, caves, temples, and monkeys, and is known for its "premium location in the city, beautiful in nature." 🌟Highlights & Must-Visit Spots 1. Wild Macaque Troops: A rare semi-wild urban macaque troop (over a thousand individuals) concentrated around the Jiuqu Path and Hongfu Temple. Great for photos, but please do not feed them and keep an eye on your belongings. 2. Hongfu Temple + Jiuqu Path: Guizhou's first temple (during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty). Climb the 383 stone steps of the Jiuqu Path, accompanied by cliff carvings and ancient pavilions; the temple features ancient Buddha caves and Buddhist scriptures, and is a popular place of worship. 3. Qilin Cave: A karst cave where Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were once under house arrest; it combines natural scenery with revolutionary history. 4. Qianling Lake + Kanzhu Pavilion: The lake is wide enough for boating; Kanzhu Pavilion on Daluo Ridge offers panoramic views of Guiyang city, with stunning sunsets. Visitors can hike or take a cable car up the mountain. 5. Zoo/Panda House: A long-established city zoo with a South China tiger breeding base, suitable for family-friendly educational activities; high vegetation coverage and abundant negative oxygen ions.

Covering 5,000 mu (approximately 1,000 acres), it's six times the size of Huaxi Park and is ideal for hiking, boating, picnics, and wilderness survival training. The area around Nanzhumen, with its large mountains and dense forests, needs to improve bridge guardrail repairs and establish a leisure station.
