Forever moved by the landscapes of Guangxi!!!
Forever moved by the landscapes of Guangxi!!! On a spontaneous trip, I came to Chongzuo, this small border city. After arriving by high-speed train, I was immediately amazed by the city. It boasts ink-painting-like countryside, mountains all around, cascading waterfalls and springs, and the cost of living is very low.
This city fulfills all the fantasies of 'choosing a city to grow old in.' In such beautiful landscapes, time seems to stop flowing, and there is nothing that the landscapes of Chongzuo can't cure; if once isn't enough, then come twice! Next, follow my route and start your Chongzuo journey!

⚠️ Sincerely recommend the following places worth visiting 📷
1️⃣ Detian Transnational Waterfall: Take a bamboo raft and drift under the waterfall, feeling the first healing that Chongzuo brings to you. It is famous at home and abroad for its unique beauty of mountains and rivers. ⚠️ The rainy season starts around June, and if you go now, water will be released upstream from 12-14 o'clock, and the flow is smaller at other times.
2️⃣ Mingshi Countryside: This place gave me a new understanding of the phrase 'Not accustomed to the mundane world, naturally loving the hills and mountains.' Drifting on a bamboo raft under the sunset with the sky and clouds, the distant mountains under the karst topography are like ink, like a scroll of landscape paintings.
3️⃣ E'quan: The water here is crystal clear, reaching the state of 'seemingly swimming in emptiness without reliance.' The fried fish here is both cheap and delicious, and a bamboo raft trip around costs only 10 yuan per person.
4️⃣ Longyang Tiankeng: Near Chongzuo in Baise Pingguo, there hides a place like a Zelda in the real world. 'The wind blows low and reveals the cattle and sheep' is vividly presented here, and the round trip hike takes about 3 hours, remember to bring a walking stick and water, and take sun protection measures.
5️⃣ Jiuzhou Ancient Town: Known as the 'Town of Hydrangea,' it is largely uncommercialized. Taking photos on the bridge is very photogenic, and you can enter for free after 6 pm.
6️⃣ Waterfall Canyon Group: Gulong Canyon, Tongling Grand Canyon, Aibu Waterfall, and Sandiequan Waterfall each have their own characteristics. Among them, Gulong Canyon offers rafting, Tongling Grand Canyon offers rainforest hiking, Aibu Waterfall and Sandiequan Waterfall are free, and the aerial photography effect is better during the rainy season.
The pastoral scenery, although nothing particularly amazing, but also makes people feel comfortable. If you have more time, you can rent an electric car and it should feel more. The scenery of Huaqianku is generally good!
As the name implies, Mingxuan Pastoral is a pastoral scenery, not far from Detian Waterfall. There are bamboo rafting in it, watching the mountains and the water, the water color and the mountains are comfortable. You can ride a bicycle around, and the bicycle lane is also well repaired.
Mingxuan Pastoral is in Daxin, not far from Detian Waterfall, picturesque and beautiful. Bamboo rafting is comfortable and worth experiencing again. Cycling near the scenic spot is also great, watching the mountains and the water, the water color and the mountains are beautiful.
The Qingming holiday is full of scenery, giving people a feeling of relaxation and joy. How comfortable is the hiding in the mountains and forests. The air is filled with romantic atmosphere. Walking along the idyllic road with the sunset is very healing.
On the day I went, there were not many tourists, and there was almost no queue. Take the bamboo raft down the stream. The pastoral scenery was panoramic, the warm wind was slowly, the green mountains on both sides of the Straits were charming, and the guide Xiao Amei was witty, which made us linger.
Suitable for slow-paced walking, there are many electric cars on the roadside, very convenient, because the vegetation is dense, so there are relatively many mosquitoes, it is best to have mosquito repellent spray when playing, Mingxuan landscape is called "Little Guilin", if you are not willing to crowd people on holidays, it is also a good choice.
After ten years of playing Mingxuan Pastoral again, the overall feeling is not as amazing as ten years ago. First, the time should not be as long as before, and the fun and service of the attractions are not as good as before. This bamboo rafting only the little girl explained and sang a mountain song, during which peanuts, oranges, and bitter tea were provided. I remember that on the way to the tour ten years ago, there were fishermen performing, there were mountain songs on the shore, there were also drinking at the folk museum, what door to go, and the ceremony was full. Now these are gone, and I feel that it is not worth 120 yuan.
