Frequent buses travel between Guiyang and Anshun. The trip takes about 2 hours. There is still almost one hour's trip from Anshun to the famous waterfall, Huangguoshu.

The old part of Anshun, which lies in the northern of the centre area, is a nice place for an evening walk. The ancient Confucian Temple now becomes an elegant tea-house. There is big reservoir (Hongshan Shuiku) near the downtown.
