Guangxi Self-Driving Tour Five Days and Four Nights Chongzuo Surrounding Travel Guide

Day1. Nanning → Gulong Mountain Grand Canyon → Sandie Ridge Waterfall → Detian Waterfall Scenic Area Accommodation. The itinerary is quite rushed, after playing at Sandie Ridge head to Leizhen for dinner, by the time it's completely dark, there is a section of mountain road about 30 minutes long, pitch black, quite difficult to drive. Gulong Mountain has very high waterfalls and caves, Sandie Ridge is a free attraction, the waterfall is not high but wins in its delicate beauty, few people and you can take photos freely. Day2, Detian Waterfall → Longtou Mountain Viewing Platform → Mingshi Pastoral Accommodation. The homestay is within walking distance to the scenic area, saving the trouble of a 35 yuan round-trip bus, and right across the river is Vietnam, quite interesting. Passing by the No. 837 boundary marker, no one around, free to take photos. The No. 836 boundary marker in the Detian scenic area instantly lost its appeal. Longtou Mountain is the drone view of Mingshi Pastoral, with a small platform, shed, resting tables and chairs, and trash bins, definitely worth the 20 yuan. Stay at Daxin Hualu, this homestay is beyond reproach, with great scenery, large rooms with complete facilities, Shiseido toiletries, priced between 500-1000, very good value for money. Day3. Mingshi Pastoral Cycling Mingshi Pastoral can be said to be full of beautiful scenery everywhere, such as Fish Scale Dam, Happiness Bridge, Big Cartoon, etc., all very photogenic. Even at the edge of the fields, by the river, on the bridge, you can sit quietly for a good while. There are many cycling routes, some places are not clearly marked, still need improvement. Continue to stay at Daxin Hualu at night Day4. Mingshi Pastoral → Tongna Bay → Qiaomiao Reservoir, stay in Daxin County. Originally wanted to drive along Anping Xianhe, but encountered a farm vehicle transporting sugarcane that had a flat tire on the way, blocking the road, so had to walk along the river and check a few ferries before leaving, very few tourists. The forest sea of Qiaomiao Reservoir is a bit like the waterborne karst, with people camping and barbecuing by the lake. Wanted to drive around the reservoir, but the roads in the sugarcane fields were too small, winding with many forks, got lost in a short while, and navigation was useless. So had to give up Day5. Daxin County → Buquan Township → Nanning Airport. Going to Buquan Township requires driving another forty to fifty minutes of winding mountain roads, but it's absolutely worth it, the beauty of Buquan Township is like a gem hidden in the deep mountains. Along the way, there will also be large fields of red heart dragon fruit, quite spectacular, for those accustomed to plains and small hills, Guangxi's scenery is both grand and delicate. Perhaps for people from mountainous provinces, the shock may not be as strong, you can say I'm inexperienced, but please do not belittle the mountains and rivers of Guangxi. This self-driving experience in Guangxi was really good, met all warm and hospitable people, even the 80-year-old gatekeeper at the foot of Longtou Mountain, we could chat for a while. In school, the geography textbook described Guangxi as the largest sugar-producing area, and being there in person truly made me appreciate the vast sugarcane fields. It is said that the Yangtze River Delta is a sweet food area, and I can't help but think that more than half of every spoonful of sugar we add to our dishes may come from Guangxi.
