    The mountains and rivers of Guangxi are truly breathtaking, you can never get tired of them, but it still depends on the weather. The Dongnayu Bay Scenic Area was beautiful today, with free photo opportunities at the entrance and lush orchards inside. It was a bit of a shame that the "Flower Journey" sculpture was washed away and is still under repair. It must be incredibly beautiful during peak season.

    Upon arriving at Mingshi Pastoral Area, known as "Little Guilin of the Gods," a trip on the water is a must. Take a bamboo raft and drift on the Mingshi River, listening to the local women sing folk songs while admiring the karst landforms on both banks. While the scenery may not rival the Li River rafting experience, it's still quite beautiful. Besides bamboo rafting, you can also enjoy the pastoral scenery.

    At the entrance to the scenic area, on Po Huang Island, standing on the Po Huang Suspension Bridge, you can see mist rising from Black Water Lake, with mountains in the distance—a truly picturesque scene. The aerial view of "The Journey of Flower" is beautiful. Compared to Detian Waterfall, Longbitan Waterfall is more elegant. The land route has some steps and inclines, making it difficult for the elderly to navigate; most of the path consists of boardwalks and steps.

    Friendship Pass, one of China's nine famous passes, was first built in the Han Dynasty and has a history of over two thousand years. The "Zhennanguan Victory" of the Sino-French War at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the "Zhennanguan Uprising," personally led by Sun Yat-sen (reportedly the only uprising in which the Father of the Nation personally commanded from the front lines), both took place here. Since the Jinjishan Fortress closes at 4 PM, I drove directly up the mountain, only to find that the destination was a military management area – a misleading result from Gaode Maps, wasting twenty minutes. The good thing was that I passed the Nongyao Port, which I had never heard of before, a bonus. I arrived at the Friendship Pass scenic area at 3:30 PM. Inside, I first climbed the steep steps to the Jinjishan Fortress, panting as I reached the ticket checkpoint. I learned that it would take two hours to go there and back, and I didn't have enough time, so I had to give up. After visiting the gate towers facing each other and the South Gate Flood Control Office (designed by the French, hence also known as the French-style building), I climbed the Zuofushan Fortress to look towards my neighbor, Vietnam.

    To see the rock paintings at Ningming Mountain Flower Rock Paintings, you need to take a boat. The round trip takes about three and a half hours. The boat ride is very comfortable, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the river. There is a guide on the boat who will take everyone ashore to see the rock paintings and explain the possible stories depicted in them.

    Overall, I'd give a perfect score of five to the staff. From their explanations and service to their constant reminders, everything they did showed their care for this precious species of white-headed langur. Don't have too high expectations for the pristine karst landscape and vast sugarcane fields; it's all for the animals' natural habitat.

    The ice cave is crystal clear and colorful, very beautiful. The stalactites in the Dragon Palace Cave are all kinds of strange and impressive. You can also take a comfortable two-person car for sightseeing.

    The free ancient city is newly built and commercialized, but since it is free for you to come and play, it is better than those domestic ones that are enclosed and charge fees. It is recommended to come in the evening, the night view is several levels higher than the daytime, and there are performances if you catch the weekend.
