Detailed guide to hiking around Gengwang Lake in Nanning

One of the most popular hikes around Nanning is 'Gengwang Lake'. If you don't know how to get there, this guide is all you need. 👉How to get there 1⃣️Self-drive: 📍Navigation: Gengwang Lake (Don't worry about Jingwang Lake or Gengwang Lake, just navigate to Long'an Gengwang Lake) 🚩Direction: Depart from Nanning—Exit at Long'an on the highway—Pass through Nanxu Town, Silian Village—Gengwang Lake (This route is presumably the fastest) 2⃣️Without a car: Join a hiking group, check my homepage notes for teaming up, average cost 90 for a round trip on the same day 👉What to do (What's fun) 🚩Hiking Honestly, for beginners and those looking to relax on the weekend, you can follow a group. Both Lake One and Lake Two are easy to walk, the end of Lake Two is a cave, behind the cave is a stone forest, there is water in the cave that will wet your shoes, you need to take off your shoes to cross the cave. But the advantage of following an organized group is that you won't get lost 🚩Picnic BBQ You can have a picnic BBQ on the shore of Lake One, there is no tap water to wash things, try to prepare drinking water before you go out, wash the ingredients. However, as soon as you take out the food, a bunch of flies and mosquitoes will swarm around you, think carefully if you want to have a picnic BBQ! If everyone comes for a BBQ picnic, please take your trash with you! ❗BBQ is recommended at Lake One, it's inconvenient and tiring to carry things into Lake Two! 🚩Camping If you have the equipment, you can come. If you don't insist on being close to the water source, you can camp on the grassland when you enter Lake One, there are too many mosquitoes and insects by the water!! Bring your snake, insect, rat, and ant protection equipment and gear, and you're good to go! The stars are super beautiful! There are shops at the entrance where you can replenish water and food 🚩Photography and leisure check-in Personally, I think it's quite comfortable. The water level of Gengwang Lake is now lower. Dress in clothes you like, play and take photos at your own pace, don't rush to finish the whole journey, just go as far as you want! Forest/Cowboy/Medela/Spicy girl styles are all good! The hike is not difficult, even a 5-year-old child can walk and play 🍗Food: There are food stalls at the entrance of Lake One (Gengwang Lake Restaurant, Gengwang Lake Snack Shop, there are also toilets here, free toilet use when eating and buying things) You can eat noodles/congee/cakes here, or bring your own bread, snacks, etc. 🔖Must bring: Power bank, ice sleeves, hat, 1.5L drinking water, Comfortable shoes, sun protection shirt Suitable hiking clothes/photogenic clothes
