Tourists visiting Anshun for the first time should make Huangguoshu Waterfall (National AAAAA Level) their first stop. Located in the southwest part of Guizhou Province, 45 kilometers (about 28 miles) from Anshun City, Huangguoshu Waterfall National Park has an enormous waterfall group comprised of 18 waterfalls. It is considered the biggest waterfall group in the world and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. Huangguoshu Waterfall is the focal point of this scenic area. It is the only waterfall which can be viewed and admired from six directions. Water-curtain caves run through the waterfall beginning at a height of 40 meters (131.2 feet) and reaching a height of 47 meters (154.2 feet) of this waterfall. Only tourists walking into the caves will experience the power of the falls and truly appreciate how spectacular the waterfall is. From the vantage point of the water-curtain cave, visitors may catch a glimpse of a breathtaking rainbow. Under the ideal conditions, the rainbow may be seen from 09:00 to 17:00 from various points on the walking route.

Getu River Scenic Area, located 77 kilometers (about 47 miles) southwest of Anshun City, is considered one of the most beautiful examples of Karst physiognomy in the entire world. Except the beautiful Karst caves, one village situated in the cave will surely arouse tourist's attention. This is a good place to experience the true meaning of human cave-living culture. Jiulongshan National Forest Park, located in the Xixiu District of the city center, is perhaps the resort closest to the city center. There you can enjoy the natural forest scenery and visit Tun Bu, a local village, where you can appreciate the living conditions of the inhabitants and enjoy the native social customs.
