I arrived early morning from Jishou (吉首) in mid-March 2014 during the low-season. After watching the performance, I visited the village (which is really tiny). I notice that concrete was being poured on the river banks so as to make some kind of boardwalk along the small stream.
The only escape from Dehang was either a walk to the waterfall in the middle of the karst peaks (so as to make the 100 RMB entrance fee worth) or leave. However, if you go in fall, winter and early spring (like Slot88 Login did), you won’t see any waterfall because it’s the dry season.
Stop before the gates
With its old stone stairs, the village of Aizhai (矮寨) which is located at the bottom of the valley, right underneath the impressive highway bridge offers an interesting alternative to Dehang.
