It is a hidden spot. It is not a 'blue hole' but it is better than a 'blue hole'. It has a blue-green color that is more astonishing than the sea. Overlooking from the mountain, the Sanmenhai in the green mountains is like a sapphire inlaid on the green brocade, shining brightly.

The surface of Shima Lake is wide, with green waves rippling, the water is shining, surrounded by peaks, and the boat is moving in the middle, the scenery changes with the boat, which is pleasing to the eye. In spring, it will be full of golden rapeseed flowers.

Let's go on an impromptu hiking trip this spring
Guangxi is truly an underrated place. The awe that Sanmenhai brings to me is beyond words. When the weather is good, the water actually glows!! Paired with the magical karst caves above, isn't this the real-life 'Ghost Blows Out the Light'? Sanmenhai
Sanmen Sea | The Blue Hole that belongs to the Chinese
| The Blue Hole that belongs to the Chinese. When I was watching 'The Five Flowers', I really liked the Blue Hole in Croatia😍, but when I was making a travel guide for Guangxi, I stumbled upon Sanmen Sea🤩! It's not that I can't afford to go to Croatia, but Sanmen Sea offers better value for money✨! I was instantly attracted and decisively added it to my itinerary!
I arrived at noon today (the third day of the lunar month, 2.12), and the weather was fantastic😄! You need to exchange your ticket at the second-floor ticket office🎫 (you can buy it online in advance), and then you will get a number and go downstairs to wait for your number to be called to board the ship🚢. There weren't too many people, no crowding, and I waited for about 50 minutes⏰. Just wandering around nearby, and soon it was my turn😜! Traveling during the Spring Festival, this speed is very OK👍!
There are a limited number of boats, with options for 10-person boats and 6-person boats🚤. One comes back, another goes, and as soon as it's full, the boat departs. The boat tour lasts about 45 minutes, and there are seven caves in total, with three currently developed. Each section of water has a slightly different color, with shades of sea blue, Tiffany blue, emerald green... In short, it's really beautiful🤩! Everyone was going 'wow——' all the way, and the photos just can't capture the shock of what the eyes see📷! Here, I felt completely healed😚, it's really too beautiful!
I declare!! Guangxi can be enshrined as divine!!!
I declare!! Guangxi can be enshrined as divine!!!
Guangxi is really an underestimated place, every spot here is no less than "Guilin". Having visited so many provinces in China, Guangxi is definitely in my top three!
1. Sanmenhai (p1)
The awe that Sanmenhai brings to me is indescribable, when the weather is good, the water glows!! There is a magical cave overhead, isn't this the real "Ghost Blows Out the Light"?
2. Detian Waterfall (p2-p3)
It turns out this is the calendar I saw when I was a child. In my memory, waterfalls should look like Detian Waterfall, but I really haven't seen such a beautiful waterfall in my daily life. I haven't been to Guangxi. I know the waterfall on the calendar is right here!
3. Haokun Lake (p4)
Only by hiking and overlooking Haokun Lake can you see such beautiful scenery. Isn't this Guangxi's "Nam Co"? Shocking! You must walk to the top of the mountain, the scenery of Haokun Lake will tell you the answer.
4. Qinglong Lake (p5)
This should be an abandoned attraction, so very few people come here, but it can be said to be Guangxi's Xinjiang, streams, grasslands, cattle, horses, milk water, and ducks, lying on the lawn and letting yourself relax.
5. Mingshi Pastoral (p6)
The essence of Mingshi countryside lies in quietly enjoying the elegance of the fields here. There are no magnificent landscapes, but it will definitely relax you, especially the morning jog, with some fog it's like a fairyland.
6. Tongling Grand Canyon (p7p8p9)
After visiting Detian Waterfall, I thought I would not be shocked by the beauty of waterfalls again. Unexpectedly, Tongling Grand Canyon brought me surprises that go far beyond that. Super cinematic!
Social Drilling (p10)
Right next to Sanmenhai, a few minutes' drive away. This is a natural cave, very spectacular. Inside there are many stones of different shapes. Don't miss it when you come to Sanmenhai, it's too magical
8. Dongyu Bay (p11p12)
The filming location of "The Journey of Flower", previously known as Anping Xianhe, the whole scenic area is toured by boat, there will be an island in the middle, there is a sense of memory of "The Peach Blossom Spring", suddenly becoming bright and open
Qingxiu Mountain (p13p14)
Although Qingxiu Mountain is only in the urban area of Nanning, please promise me to leave a day for it, okay? The garden planning with various plants competing for beauty is also particularly beautiful.
We need strategies and positioning. From the strategies on my homepage, we can find the Guangxi line. We have already made the strategy:
Haokun Lake hiking Detian Waterfall Tongling Grand Canyon
Mingshi Pastoral Nanning Qingxiu Mountain Dongyu Bay
Longkara Qinglong Lake

Hechi Small Three Gorges Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Day 4 of the 2024 Spring Festival Tour: In the morning, take a boat tour of the Huanjiang Mini Three Gorges
From the Maple Leaf Hotel (Huanjiang Macau International City Store) in Jinchengjiang District, Huanjiang, it is a half-hour drive to the Huanjiang Mini Three Gorges Scenic Area. After buying tickets, take the scenic area shuttle bus to the cruise terminal. The 10:30 cruise, the shuttle bus departs at 10:18, drives very slowly, and arrives at the terminal in less than 5 minutes.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there are still many people playing. The bus is full and there are people standing.
The boat departs at 10:40 today, ten minutes late. There is a tour guide on the boat who explains the whole journey in great detail. Arrived at Mengguzhai Wharf at 11:24. Mengguzhai is a small Zhuang village, which can be visited in about ten minutes. There are agricultural tool museums, guesthouses, etc., especially a big fruit banyan tree, the trunk is full of fruits, like figs.
Take the cruise back at 11:45, and return to the boarding wharf at 12:20. Then take the bus back to the scenic area parking lot. The whole journey takes about 2 hours.
The scenic area is actually formed by the water storage of the Liuji Hydropower Station, which raises the water level. The water depth is about 30 meters. It is part of the Longjiang River. The water is deep blue and clear.
🗓 Yunjia thin stone wall, write the world's articles upside down
The Huanjiang Mini Three Gorges Scenic Area in Guangxi is located 23 kilometers northwest of Jinchengjiang District, Huanjiang City. It is located in Liuji Town, Jinchengjiang District, Huanjiang City. It is composed of Tianmen Gorge, Liangfeng Gorge, Longmen Gorge and Lijiang Rural Scenery. It is a typical limestone karst canyon in China. The scenic area has towering peaks, steep cliffs, stalactites hanging upside down, ancient vines hanging in the sky, winding paths leading to secluded places, dust-free river surfaces, water and sky in one color. The gorge is more dangerous than the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and the water is deeper and secluded than the Lijiang River in Guilin. The 'River Returns to the Beautiful Peak, the Great Wall's Regret, the Lion Looks Forward to the Sun, the Heavenly Spring Falls, the Golden Turtle Explores the Moon, the Beauty Bathes, the Jade Rabbit Descends, the Bat Spreads its Wings, the Mo One God Statue, the Lijiang Style'... are endless and natural.

Journey of 'Hundred Thousand Mountains' - The First Bay of Longjiang
Self-driving tour in Guangxi 'Hundred Thousand Mountains' Day6 - The First Bay of Longjiang 🚗🏞️
➡️In the morning, we came from Nandan County via the Southwest Passage to the First Bay of Longjiang and Hechi Xiaosanxia (these two scenic spots are very close and can be visited together)
For friends with the same itinerary, it is still recommended to take the highway. Although the Southwest Passage takes about the same time and does not require tolls, there are many cars, poor roads, many trucks, and many dump trucks, so you can't speed up.
➡️The First Bay of Longjiang scenic spot is very small, so small that the place to buy tickets is just a stall in the parking lot. The ticket is 10¥
The main scenic spot is to go up the mountain to see the bay, if you walk fast, half an hour is enough.
It takes about ten minutes to get to the neighboring Hechi Xiaosanxia. 🌊🏞️
Beautiful ecology and scenery | Hechi travel notes
Hechi is beautiful.
I got to know the city of Hechi.
I. Transportation and accommodation
I took the high-speed train to Hechi West Station, then took the high-speed train special line k1 to Jincheng Middle Road, and stayed near Jinchengjiang Railway Station. I got up at 7:20 today, had a snail rice noodle, and took a ride to Xiaosanxia at 8 o'clock. You can also take Line 18 to Hehua Group Station, and then walk 3 kilometers in.
II. The first big thing: buying tickets
There were a lot of people on October 3, and the tickets were already sold out! The ticket lady said that people started queuing at 6 o'clock. Isn't it, tourism is also so competitive?! Thinking of the ticket buying experience in Xiaoqikong, I decided to queue up, just in case there are tickets. Finally, I got the 16 o'clock one. It was still early at this time, around 11 o'clock, I met a big brother from Yunnan on the road - Old Wang, the big brother drove here, so we formed a team to go to the first bay of Longjiang.
III. Viewing the first bay of Longjiang
It takes less than half an hour to get to the first bay of Longjiang from Xiaosanxia. The viewing platform here costs 10 yuan per person. If you want to take a boat, you need to buy another ticket, but you need to queue up. We didn't get on the boat because the timing was not right. Taking photos and playing with water in the scenic area are free. We watched the scenery nearby for a while, and then started climbing. There are 2 viewing platforms, both of which can see the complete first bay. The mountain is not high, but it is very hot. The highest viewing platform is on the hillside, blocked by the mountain, and there is wind, so it is relatively cool.
IV. Playing in the water in the first bay of Longjiang
Before climbing the mountain, we passed a water channel. The water was clear and bottomless. Some people were soaking their feet. My big brother and I also took off our shoes and soaked our feet. The water was really cold. We climbed the mountain around 12 o'clock, when it was very hot, and the water was very comfortable. When we came down the mountain, we walked to the water channel in the bamboo forest. We saw people swimming in the water channel. They were locals from Liujiatown. They said that you can swim here and the scenic area does not care. I also followed them and went into the water in my shorts. The water was really good, very cold, more than 2 meters deep, and the flow was very fast. Not far downstream is a hydrological monitoring station, where you can get ashore from the sluice (don't go into the water easily!). The big brother can't swim, so he didn't go into the water, just soaked his feet. Some people were diving on the side, and the big brother's clothes got wet, but they dried up in a while in this weather. Being able to play in the water was an unexpected surprise when I came to the first bay of Longjiang. I came to Hechi to see the mountains and climb the mountains, to see the water and play in the water, and it was worth the trip.
V. The first bay of Longjiang footpath
The water play ended at more than 13 o'clock. I saw a red pedestrian road on the right side of the first bay of Longjiang. We went to see it. There are several viewing platforms along the way, and you can also go to the river to see it. The experience was good, and there were not many people.
VI. Xiaosanxia water play and boat ride
We returned to Xiaosanxia at 15 o'clock, because the 16 o'clock boat had to take a bus to the dock at 15 o'clock. Before entering the Xiaosanxia scenic area, there is a section of river, the water is very clear and shallow, many people are playing in the water and taking pictures, and there are also camping and barbecue, the experience is good.
The boat set off at 16 o'clock, there was a scenic area commentary on the boat, introducing each section of the gorge. We took pictures along the way, arrived at the end at 16:50, got off the boat for 15 minutes to see Mengguzhai, and then returned at 17:05. Mengguzhai is mainly a display of Zhuang culture, you can take a look.
The boat ride ended at 18 o'clock, and the day was over.
Guangxi Hechi Little Three Gorges | Experience a different scenic line
Where to go in Nanning on weekends | Hechi "Little Three Gorges" ||| Hechi Little Three Gorges Scenic Area, located in Liujiatown, Jinchengjiang District, Hechi City, is a typical limestone karst valley, composed of the world's wonders - Tianmen Gorge, the world's strange news - Shenmen Gorge, the world's strange scenery - Longmen Gorge, etc., the scenic area has towering peaks, steep cliffs, stalactites hanging upside down, ancient vines hanging in the sky, winding paths leading to secluded spots, water and sky in one color, more dangerous and beautiful than the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, known as the "Great Gorge on the Water in the South".
1⃣You can take a boat tour in the Little Three Gorges. The boat ride is 80 yuan per person, with a round trip of 1.5 hours.
🔴The original ticket price for the scenic area is 10 yuan. If you take a boat, you don't need to pay for the ticket. If you don't take a boat, you can pay 10 yuan for the ticket to go to the dock. After entering, the dock is 1 kilometer away, and you can drive in.
🔴The key point is: if you go to the Little Three Gorges on non-weekends or holidays, you must go early, otherwise you may not be able to take the boat, and you need at least 6 people to start the boat.
🚗Transportation: Self-driving or bus, Jinchengjiang has a round-trip bus to the Little Three Gorges, No. 18 bus, three times a day.
2⃣Bagongxia Bridge Bamboo Sea Scenic Area: The scenery here is beautiful, with clear mountains and waters, and you can take a bamboo raft.
🔴This place is very original. Normally, the bamboo raft is 20 yuan per person, about half an hour. We went late, so we could only charter a bamboo raft for 200 yuan. The price is not expensive. By the way, a bamboo raft can seat more than a dozen people, and it's very cost-effective for many people!
3⃣Du'an Jiudun Skylight, very beautiful, the water is very clear and blue, suitable for swimming and playing in the water, but because it is groundwater, the water is relatively cold and very deep.
🔴This skylight is not very big. The day we went was a weekend, and there were many people, so we didn't play here. We went swimming and kayaking by the nearby river.
🔴This is a river that blooms. There are water poplars in the river, which are very beautiful. And there are many small fish in the river, visible to the naked eye, but if you swim, there are many water plants in some places.
Jiudun Skylight is free, many skylights here are free, play as you like!
4⃣ Du'an Sun Skylight, very worth going. The water in the skylight is very clear and blue, there are many fish, but it is groundwater, the water is a bit cold, the deepest place is more than 20 meters, swimming and playing in the water must pay attention to safety.

Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Guangxi actually hides a little Jiuzhaigou!! A super niche water play secret spot!!
Guangxi actually hides a little Jiuzhaigou!! A super niche water play secret spot!!
Departing from Nanning, it's a 2-hour drive, making it the perfect choice for a weekend getaway around Guangxi❗
This place has natural underground springs with icy clear water. The water is so clean that plants🌱 have grown underwater, and you can never get enough of playing in it🐟
Next to the skylight, there are complete facilities including 🏠homestays, restaurants, paddle boards, and life jackets. If you have enough time, you can stay overnight next to the skylight and enjoy the ethereal mist over the water in the morning, which is absolutely beautiful❗❗
Skylight: An unexploited natural skylight with a constant water temperature of 19°C, which is very cold. The water level is unstable, sometimes too low to enter the water, or too turbulent. There's no place to set up a stall, only suitable for diving and paddleboarding, and it's great for aerial photography. It's not recommended for friends who can't swim.
All skylights are free of charge.
How to arrange the time? If possible, you can start on Friday night and take a two-day and two-night trip, which allows you to visit all the major skylights. On the way to the Sun Skylight, you will pass through Shangshui Pass, where you can rent a boat and drift downstream, capturing every frame with your phone as if it were a painting.
Homestay🏠
Generally, it costs 120-150 yuan💰 per night. The homestays are usually converted from villagers' self-built houses. If you're not used to it, you can also stay in the county town, which is only a dozen kilometers away.
For those who like 🏕️camping overnight, you can choose the Sun Skylight or Tunxiang Village, where there are hardened platforms with iron sheds.
❗The underground water temperature is low, so it's not suitable for long soaks. Replenish your energy in time to prevent hypothermia and drowning;
A river that blooms, with crystal clear waters that you can see to the bottom

Camping site fee 50 yuan
Roadside snacks around 10 yuan (sticky rice balls, cold noodles, etc.)
🈳️ Free activities:
1⃣️ Pure swimming
2⃣️ You can bring your own paddleboard for water fun
🌟Tips
1⃣️ There are public restrooms for changing clothes, but no showers.
2⃣️ There are few spots available for camping, so if you want to camp, go early to grab a spot, and you need to pay a site fee.

❤️ Nongxiang Sinkhole
📍 Address: Nongxiang Sinkhole, Du'an County, Hechi City
🕐 Driving time: About 2 hours from downtown Nanning
🅿️ Parking: There is a parking lot at the entrance of the cave, charging about 5 yuan. You can park for free on the roadside, but it requires walking a long distance, which is quite tiring.
🌟 Best time for photography: 2-5 pm
❤️ Xiangshui Pass: Every year from April to October, the surface of the Xiangshui Pass river is covered with sea vegetables. It's super romantic and photogenic to get up close and shoot the sea vegetables, drifting in a kayak or on a paddleboard
📝Tips
1⃣️ The journey is quite winding, mostly mountain roads, and passing cars can be troublesome, so drive safely!
2⃣️ The inside of the cave is quite slippery, so wear slip-resistant shoes, and be careful when entering the cave or climbing up to take photos, as there are no railings
