Chishui Scenic Spot

Chishui Scenic Spot is found in Chishui City in northern Guizhou Province. Covering an area of 116 square miles, it boasts vast green forests, large and small waterfalls, countless clear rivers and creeks, glittering lakes and a wide variety of plants.

Fengxi River, abranch of Chishui River, forms a spectacular site when it suddenly meets a huge rock midstream in Shizhangdong. The water rushes down against this red rock into a deep pool below. The waterfall is known as one of the best waterfalls in China. Measuring 87 yards wide and 249 feet high, it is no less beautiful than the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall. Behind the waterfall, there is a Water Curtain Cave measuring 11 yards deep. At the bottom of the waterfall, a wide range of rare rocks in different shapes and sizes can be found. Water squeezes from the cracks within the rocks, looking as fresh as jade liquor. This beautiful view beyond description is called Shizhangdong Scenic Spot and is regarded as a wonder in northern Guizhou Province.

Seven miles from Chishui City, lies an Ancient Town called Bingan which reflects its original look of the Ming (1368 - 1644) and Qing (1644 - 1911) Dynasty. Only a waterway leads the old town to the outside world. From ancient times, it is an important town on the track from southern Sichuan to Guizhou. The only narrow 437-yard slab stone street in the town is the market where surrounding several villages trade commodities. Compared with the hustle and bustle of modern city life, the harmonious and peaceful atmosphere of the town is very precious. 

Lying 25 miles to Chishui City, China Jurassic Park is the only national reserve of alsophila spinulosa and its living environment in the world. Covering an area of 15 square miles, it is composed of three scenic areas including Gangou Channel, Dashui Channel and Liangcha River.

A climb on "Guanhailou" (Viewing Bamboo Sea Tower) which measures 85 feet tall provides a full view of boundless bamboo. The vast expanse of green dancing in the wind, has the capacity to renew and refresh your spiritually.

Is it supposed to make a one-day trip from Chongqing or Wulong to Chishui waterfall?
How long does it take by bus on this route?

Thank you

If you go from Chongqing, then it is possible. It takes 2.5 hours from Chongqing Coach Station to Chishui Coach Station, then you should take bus from it to waterfall with 1 hour on the way.
If you go from Wulong, then the time is too tight. It takes around 4 hours to Chishui firstly.

I am researching how to get to Chishui from Guiyang city or from Caohai (Weining).
I guess there are buses but can you tell me where to find the times (or tell me)? I can read some Chinese...

Thanks!

I would like to go from Simian Shan Zhen to Chishui without coming back to Chongqing.
I have researched quite much, and it seems I have to do something like:

Simian Shan Zhen >>>> Jiangjin (江津区) (not sure)
Then go to Luzhou (泸州市)
And finally Luzhou to Chishui

Do you have any info about the local buses? Maybe there is a bus from Simian Shan Zhen directly to Luzhou?

Thank you very much!

You can take a bus from Simian Shan Zhen to Yibin Jiangan Bus Station and then take a bus to Luzhou. The bus departs from 6:20 to 15:40 with an interval about 0.5 to 1 hour. Then go from Luzhou to Chishui.

Thank you very much!

Just wondering, is it "宜宾市" city? Because it seems to be after Luzhou, so quite far!

Or the bus going from Simian Shan Zhen to Yibin Jiangan Bus station stops in Luzhou?

Thank you!

Yes, it is 宜宾市. They don't stop in Luzhou and you need to take a bus from Yibin to Luzhou. Because I haven't found any bus direct from Simianshan to Luzhou. However, you can try to search more information and verify it.

Most visitors would like to enjoy the specific Danxia landform, CS Waterfall and Datong Ancient Town.
But as I know, few buses are available between the attractions.
The bus from Guiyang Jinyang Bus Station to CS leaves at 9:00, 11:00 and 16:00 and it takes CNY150, about 5 hours.
As for the bus from Kaili to CS, I didn’t find that, and I found others would transfer to Guiyang first. By the way, this bus leaves from Kaili Bus Station to Guiyang East Bus Station and is available from 7:00 to 9:30.
