Tongling Grand Canyon

First of all, I must declare: this place is a regular and managed scenic area, not a dangerous place, and everyone can feel at ease to play. On the invitation of a friend, I went to Chongzuo, Guangxi. Local friends in Guangxi took us to visit together. In addition to waterfalls, water curtain caves, and stalactites, I was truly shocked by this primitive forest. The entire scenic area has more than 2,000 species of plants, many of which are rare species. We crossed through karst caves, waded through streams, and shuttled through dense vegetation, attracted by the huge ferns. I never thought that in our great China, in Guangxi, there would be such a beautiful place. Location: Tongling Grand Canyon Tickets: It's a bit cheaper to buy a day in advance, 99 yuan. Transportation: Self-driving is more convenient. It takes about 3 hours from Nanning city center, about 1 hour from Jingxi station by car, or you can also take a high-speed train from Nanning to Jingxi and then take a taxi or rent a car to drive. Precautions: 1. It's more beautiful to go on a rainy day. 2. The scenic area is not particularly large, 3 hours is enough for playing and taking photos. 3. The most beautiful place is the waterfall area, with many ferns. 4. If it rains, the roads are slippery, so wear anti-slip shoes, and bring trekking poles and a backpack. 5. There is a section of stairs to walk, which can be a bit strenuous, so be mentally prepared, but it's still acceptable. 6. There are snack bars along the way.
