Transport and parking
Huangguoshu has several car parks around the ticket centre, some with free shuttle transfers; at Longgong, parking and transfer are mainly at the visitor centre. Drivers should park as directed, then take a shuttle or minibus into the area.
Shuttles and getting around
The three core areas lie several to ten kilometres apart, and walking between them takes long. Shuttles run between the ticket centre, main entrances and the sights — saving much energy. Without a shuttle, the loop takes markedly longer, so assess your energy carefully.
Luggage and guides
- Luggage: left-luggage service is available at the visitor centres at the entrances to the great fall, Doupotang and Tianxingqiao, and at the Longgong visitor centre;
- Guides: hire a guide at the ticket centre or visitor centre to hear the stories behind the fall and the karst;
- Accessibility: visitor centres keep wheelchairs, walking sticks and baby strollers for loan, helping elders, children and those with limited mobility.
Other conveniences
- Rest points are set along the routes for a pause and water;
- First-aid points and kits are provided — ask staff nearby if unwell;
- In extreme weather the area provides rain gear; arrangements follow on-site practice.
