This underrated border town in Guangxi moved me to tears
hi~
A travel blogger on the road
For my first trip of 2024, I came to Guangxi
From Chongzuo in Guangxi, along the China-Vietnam border, I drove to Baise
The scenery along the way was beautiful, with many special delicacies
There were also super cheap fruits, 10 yuan could last me several days!
But my favorite is still Jingxi, this small border town
The vast and misty Goose Spring, the thousand-year-old Old State ancient town
And the cascading waterfalls flowing out of the hundred thousand green mountains
Every scene is enough to make one linger...

If you like history, it is worth a trip; it is worth a free inheritor of an excellent national culture; but it feels a little expensive (48 yuan), because it is a niche attraction, the traffic to the scenic spot is general, basically need to call the online car.
The ancient city of Jiuzhou is 8 kilometers south of Qingxi City, Guangxi. The landscape is picturesque, the pastoral is like a flowery, and the Zhuang folk customs are strong. It has the reputation of "Museum of Zhuang Life". It was successfully evaluated as a national AAAA-level tourist attraction in 2018. Jiuzhou is famous for making traditional crafts - hydrangea, known as "the hometown of China's hydrangea."
Overall a good scenic spot, an ancient village, free tickets for elderly people over 65 and small pot friends under 6 years old (free tickets after 6 pm), the scenery is not bad, Wa's former residence can be seen, the town's home brewed wine is cheap and good to drink, recommend it
The theme of the ancient town is Wenchang Pavilion and the ancient bridge in front. Although the others are quite large, they do not have much characteristics. There are a lot of hydrangeas. If you choose, you must choose hand-embroidered ones, and don't buy printed cloth and dyed ones. In fact, I have seen more karst waterfalls and pastoral scenery. It is also good to change the scenery in the ancient town of Jiuzhou. You can go shopping a little, but the ticket money of more than 40 is really worthless. It is better to enter for free to increase the popularity of the ancient town.
There is a lion dance performance during the Spring Festival, the hometown of China's hydrangea, and the pastoral Caste landform is also very beautiful 👍👍👍👍👍
Ok, I don't recommend going specifically.
The parking lot at the door is not big, and many RVs cook and supply here. There are very few people going in the off-season, and even the store is closed a lot. The elderly who do hydrangeas at home can be seen everywhere on the street, and they are all handmade and beautiful. I feel that this ticket corresponds to the scenery inside. The price is not high. If you don't collect the tickets, you may go in more people, and there will be more people buying things. If you pass by, you can go and see it. If you go there deliberately, it feels unnecessary. After all, it is basically this landform.
