Tianhetan Resort Area

Choose the ticket type and add-ons first

If you only want the outside scenery, the basic entry ticket is CNY 10. Most visitors are better served by a package that includes the water cave, dry cave, and round-trip sightseeing shuttle. The listed package price is CNY 80, with online tickets often from CNY 75. Bamboo rafting and high-altitude gliding are add-ons.

Reach it by rail transit or self-driving

By public transport, take Metro Line 3 to Zhongcaosi Station, transfer to Line S1 to Tianhetan Station, then walk about 500 meters from Exit A1. By car, it takes about 30-40 minutes from central Guiyang.

Follow the water cave, dry cave, waterfall order

After entering, take the sightseeing shuttle to the pier, ride the boat through the water cave, walk through the dry cave, then continue to the calcified waterfall area and Wolong Waterfall before resting at Guiyang Story Street.

Save energy for the cave walk and steps

The water cave boat ride is relatively easy, but the dry cave involves walking and stairs. The ground inside can be wet. Elderly visitors, children, and anyone with knee issues should slow down.

Start in the morning and follow the open route in rainy season

In peak season from April to October, opening hours are 08:30-18:00. In low season from November to March, opening hours are 09:00-17:00. The core visit takes about 3-4 hours, so a morning start is safer.
