No. 5 of Fall Viewing Attractions in Hechi

Qibainong National Geological Park

4.7
4.2/5
68 reviews
At Qibainong National Geological Park you can admire the unique karst landscape of northern Guangxi, where deep basins surrounded by high peaks and the villages and farmland scattered within them form a pristine yet magnificent scene. Whether for photography, strolling and hiking, or taking in the fresh, untouched village and farmland scenery, this place will astonish you. The park covers a large area. The "nong" in Qibainong refers to these depressions encircled by peaks, and there are hundreds of villages located in those basins, which is why the park is named Qibainong. However, visitors mainly go to the following viewing spots: Jiuli Bawan, Qianshan Wanlong Viewing Platform, the geological park museum,Tianxia No.1 Nong, and Longjuandi. These attractions are all along Dahua's county road X906, with distances of more than 20 km between some of them. Driving or chartering a car is convenient, and there are also shuttle buses that pass several spots, where you can get off at the main Qianshan Wanlong Viewing Platform to explore while photographing the others from the vehicle. Visiting the Qianshan Wanlong Viewing Platform takes about 3 hours, and the whole park takes roughly half a day to tour. Jiuli Bawan and the Qianshan Wanlong Viewing Platform are very close to each other; in fact, Jiuli Bawan is the twisting mountain road that leads up to the viewing platform, and because the road spirals sharply, the winding highway itself becomes a scenic attraction. The Qianshan Wanlong Viewing Platform on the mid-slope is the park's main attraction, where a boardwalk climbs all the way to the summit and runs along the ridge. Visitors can follow the boardwalk to the summit, where the views are very expansive, and the surrounding peaks stand relatively isolated and steep, offering a spectacular panorama of countless beautiful mountains, ideal for wide-angle photography. Beside the boardwalk are uniquely shaped peaks such as Sleeping Beauty Mountain and Guzhong Mountain, both of which are worth visiting and photographing. In addition, the geological park museum is located at the foot of Jiuli Bawan, where you can see geological specimens typical of the geopark and Dahua County and learn about the characteristics and formation of Qibainong; interested visitors can stop by for a brief visit.Tianxia No.1 Nongand Longjuandi are not far apart, located along the roadside about 20-plus km east of the Qianshan Wanlong Viewing Platform.Tianxia No.1 Nongis a village in a very deep valley; you can descend more than 2,000 stone steps from the roadside into the village, though many visitors do not walk down but instead view and photograph this deep-set village from the road. Longjuandi is the terraced fields in the valley beside the road; the terraces form a roughly circular, layered pattern centered on the valley floor, resembling a tornado. These fields are the result of residents surviving under harsh natural conditions and now create a unique beauty worth photographing. Visitors driving themselves often return to stay in Dahua County or Hechi city, where accommodation is better and there are more options. Visitors traveling by shuttle or by bicycle can choose to stay at resort hotels inside the park.Dahua · 54.4km from downtown

Guangxi Hongshuihe Du'an Sandaowan International Resort Project is located on the bank of Hongshui River in Xingli Village, Disu Town, with beautiful mountains and waters, and vast waves. The water of Sandaowan is so green all year round, like a jade belt running through the karst peaks and valleys, with green mountains facing each other along the coast and fishermen's songs. Hurry up and start your fairy journey of "boat sailing on the blue waves, people swimming in the painting". The Hongshui River system lingers around the karst peaks and valleys, creating a unique appearance of Sandaowan: the mountains are gradually green, and the water is warm and green. The hardworking Bunu Yao people thrive here, integrating with the world, primitive and natural. Sandaowan Water Park is built by the mountains and rivers. Here we can not only cool off and play, but also feast our eyes on the beautiful mountains and rivers. The planned construction period of the resort is from 2013 to 2020. It will be divided into three phases with four areas and eight functions, namely, the Bunu Yao Folk Leisure Area (ecological rural leisure, Bunu Yao style experience), the River Valley Agricultural Leisure Area (modern agricultural sightseeing, agricultural leisure experience), the River Valley Sightseeing and Recreation Area (river valley sightseeing, waterfront leisure and recreation), and the River Valley Leisure Resort (river valley leisure vacation, business conference and incentive vacation).Du'an · 10km from Dahua

Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Spot

4.7/5

Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Spot is located on the Guichun River along the China-Vietnam border in Guangxi. Here the border river meets a cliff, and the water drops in three tiers with a fall of about 60 m, facing Vietnam's Ban Gioc Waterfall across the cliff. In the rainy season, when the water is abundant, the two waterfalls almost merge into one, with a combined width of more than 200 m, and the roar can be heard across the valley. This is also one of the filming locations for the TV drama The Journey of Flower. The highlights of the visit mostly unfold around this border river: after passing through the Detian Archway, you can take a bamboo raft from the bank toward the foot of the waterfall, look up as the curtain of water crashes down from the cliff top and mist hits your face, and experience up close the unique atmosphere of two countries just a step apart on the border river; on the river, you can often encounter Vietnamese border residents rowing small bamboo rafts to sell coffee, dried fruit, and other small goods, and the bargaining has much of the fun of a cross-border market. After coming ashore, follow the waterfall-viewing boardwalk and the multi-level viewing platforms to look back at the full panorama of the waterfall from different heights. The No. 53 boundary marker, erected in the Qing Dynasty and inscribed with "China Guangxi Boundary," is a popular photo spot. The waterfall view changes noticeably with water volume: during the summer wet season, the water is surging and visually stunning, while in the dry season it is relatively delicate; bamboo raft docks have long queues during peak season, so if you want to view the waterfall up close, it is recommended to plan an early start; there is heavy mist on the bamboo raft, so remember to protect your phone and camera from water.China · Daxin

The First Bend of the Hongshui River is located in Banwen Village, Sanshi Town, Donglan County, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The Hongshui River makes a big turn at a place where it flows through Banwen Village, forming a "U"-shaped canyon, which is the First Bend of the Hongshui River. The river is narrow, with towering mountains on both sides, reaching the sky, with a drop of hundreds of meters above the water surface, and clouds and mist lingering in the canyon, which is a rare landscape for seeking wonders, viewing beauty, and exploring the mysteries.

Tunbang Skylight, a 2-hour drive from Nanning, is the perfect choice for a tour around Guangxi! There is a natural underground spring here, the water is cold and clear, and the water quality is so good that there are aquatic plants growing under the water. The homestay, restaurant, paddle board, and life jackets next to Tunbang Skylight are all complete. If you have enough time, you can spend a night next to the skylight and see the fairy-like water mist in the morning.

The Hongshui River has both the magnificence of the Three Gorges and the beauty of the Lijiang River. The scenery on both sides is picturesque, and there are beautiful mountains and rivers that are dazzling. The intoxicating mountains here are green and natural. It is an ecological wonderland rich in fresh oxygen and negative oxygen ions, and a place for recuperation. Sandaowan Resort is located on the beautiful banks of the Hongshui River. It currently has 52 ordinary guest rooms and 10 panoramic suites. When you sleep on the bed in the panoramic suite, you can see the turquoise Hongshui River in front of you, with birds singing and flowers blooming, and greenery everywhere. There is a multi-functional hall here that can accommodate more than 200 people for activities. You can come here for meetings, small parties, and karaoke. There is also a "Du'an No. 1 Pot" health restaurant that can accommodate 500 people for dining.

In the picture, I saw a transparent boat floating in the clear green water, which was so fascinating. I came here today!

Even more thrilling than the "Eight Miles and Nine Bends" is the viewing corridor leading to the Qianshan Wanlong Observation Deck. A giant white dragon winds its way up the mountain ridge, flanked by a thousand-foot cliff. For those afraid of heights, it's an insurmountable chasm.

Aside from the water being a bit low when I went, everything else was fine. The boat ride past the waterfall was worth seeing, and the path to the viewing platform after disembarking was also okay. It was a bit commercialized but not overly so, and the facilities along the way blended well with the surrounding environment.
