Mon avis sincère

Ertan Hydropower Station is a genuine highlight of Panzhihua and worth prioritising if you are here — though it is best combined with the city's other sights rather than treated as a lone detour. Go early, and keep expectations flexible around weather and crowds.

Y aller

From the centre of Panzhihua, take a taxi or ride-hail (most journeys take 20–40 minutes); local buses also connect the main stations and city centre to the area. Show your driver the Chinese name — 二滩水电站 — and use the site's own shuttle or entrance bus for the last stretch if there is one.

Itinéraire conseillé

Allow about half a day. Start at the main entrance and head straight for the centrepiece, then slow down and explore the surrounding paths, viewpoints or halls at your own pace. Check the map at the entrance, and allow extra time in peak season.

Où loger

Most visitors stay in Panzhihua city centre, which has hotels at every budget and the best transport links. A small number of guesthouses sit closer to the site if you would rather wake up nearby. Book ahead in peak season.
