A realistic two-day Xinxiang–Wanxianshan visit that drives only to the official entrance, then uses the scenic shuttle and walking paths for Guoliang Tunnel, the cliff-gallery viewpoints, Guoliang Village, Tianchi, and the Grand Canyon viewing deck.

Practical notes
This is a road trip to Wanxianshan, followed by controlled scenic-area transport and walking—not a guaranteed self-drive through Guoliang Tunnel. Park at the official visitor entrance and use the current sightseeing shuttle unless Wanxianshan has issued written visitor-vehicle authorization for the exact date; never enter behind a barrier, follow a local car, or assume an accommodation booking grants road access. Prebook the correct dated admission, internal transport, passport handling, Guoliang lodging, and meals, and reconfirm the last downhill shuttle. Fog, heavy rain, ice, falling rock, crowd controls, maintenance, and filming can close paths or the cliff corridor. Foreign motorists driving the public-road transfer must obtain the current PRC temporary/provisional driving permit and approved rental documentation; an International Driving Permit alone is not valid. Use daylight only, obey staff, stay behind cliff barriers, and carry offline Chinese-language booking details and emergency contacts.
