Day1: 1. Ancient Dragon Water Grand Canyon rafting, during the dry season you can only choose the classic rafting which is good because the boat doesn't capsize and someone helps you paddle, it's very relaxing except for a bit of sunbathing 2. Went to Tongling Grand Canyon to fly a drone at the aerial photography spot, had a fever, headache, and sore throat, just felt very hot, in the future if buying a drone definitely get one with a remote control with a screen! 3. On the way back to Mingshi Pastoral, passed by a wild waterfall group to fly the drone, but the drone crashed into the mountain. Three of us climbed a 60-80° slope full of thorns to search, it was difficult to move and our hands and feet were scraped bloody, ultimately missing the golden search time, consider it paying to ward off disaster... Conclusion: expensive things have their reasons, should bring automatic obstacle avoidance, best if I could just give a command to shoot the waterfall group and it would do it for me hhh 4. Went to Dragon Head Mountain to watch the sunset, originally planned to fly the drone to capture the karst topography but that fell through, could only enjoy the sunset and the pastoral scenery, quietly watching was also very comfortable. Day2: 1. Yulian Waterfall photo shoot and foot soak, still ok for taking pictures, but the rice paddy scenery was not available, they had just started planting. 2. Had a Vietnamese coffee: the drip was very average, no layers, not recommended. 3. Detian Waterfall was leisurely, took some photos, mainly interesting because the waterfall spans two countries. 4. Went to the provincial museum to enjoy the air conditioning and see the exhibition.

First of all, I must declare: this place is a regular and managed scenic area, not a dangerous place, and everyone can feel at ease to play. On the invitation of a friend, I went to Chongzuo, Guangxi. Local friends in Guangxi took us to visit together. In addition to waterfalls, water curtain caves, and stalactites, I was truly shocked by this primitive forest. The entire scenic area has more than 2,000 species of plants, many of which are rare species. We crossed through karst caves, waded through streams, and shuttled through dense vegetation, attracted by the huge ferns. I never thought that in our great China, in Guangxi, there would be such a beautiful place. Location: Tongling Grand Canyon Tickets: It's a bit cheaper to buy a day in advance, 99 yuan. Transportation: Self-driving is more convenient. It takes about 3 hours from Nanning city center, about 1 hour from Jingxi station by car, or you can also take a high-speed train from Nanning to Jingxi and then take a taxi or rent a car to drive. Precautions: 1. It's more beautiful to go on a rainy day. 2. The scenic area is not particularly large, 3 hours is enough for playing and taking photos. 3. The most beautiful place is the waterfall area, with many ferns. 4. If it rains, the roads are slippery, so wear anti-slip shoes, and bring trekking poles and a backpack. 5. There is a section of stairs to walk, which can be a bit strenuous, so be mentally prepared, but it's still acceptable. 6. There are snack bars along the way.
