The Ultimate Tour Guide to Mingshi Countryside
🌼【Mingshi Countryside】
1) Mingshi Countryside is a scenic area, with hotels divided into Mingshi Villa, Mingshi Courtyard, and Mingshi Elegant Residence (free boat ride once a day in the scenic area, breakfast and dinner included? Bicycles are free, free beer), which are guest houses, four-star hotels, and boutique hotels respectively.
Personally, I don't recommend staying here, mainly because the prices are quite high, but if money is not an issue, feel free to choose~
🌼2) Ways to explore Mingshi Countryside (I rented an electric bike)
🔵1. Bamboo Raft
The whole bamboo raft journey takes 40 minutes, costs 120 yuan, and because the exit of the bamboo raft is in the Zhuang Ethnic Museum, it also includes the museum ticket (80 yuan if bought separately). The bamboo raft mainly sails in the river, many places are not accessible, many views are not visible, so I don't recommend spending this unnecessary money.
🔵2. Bicycle/Electric Bike
There are bicycle/electric bike rentals along the road. The scenic area has built a bicycle lane, you can ride without a ticket. The road condition is good with no slopes, you can go deep into the countryside, and have a complete experience. You can enter from the entrance near Longtou Mountain Viewing Platform, cross a bridge in the middle. The price is about 10 yuan/hour for a bicycle, 10 yuan/hour or 20 yuan/hour for an electric bike, depending on the model.
🔵3. Randomly Find a Tuk-tuk on the Road
Most of the tricycles parked on the side of the road are tuk-tuks soliciting business. They can go on the bicycle lane, saving time and effort, and you can have a complete experience. Basically, you can play from near Longtou Mountain Viewing Platform to the Happiness Bridge (100 meters in front of the Secret Hotel).
🌼3) Mingshi Countryside has two large parking lots, which are the upper and lower points of the bamboo raft. For the upper point, navigate to 'Mingshi Countryside Scenic Area West Parking Lot' or 'Bamboo Raft Tourist Boarding Dock'. For the lower point, navigate to 'Zhuang Ethnic Museum'. However, there is also a shuttle bus between the two points.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying in this hotel. The design of the room and the hotel itself is very modern and bright. It is located on the back of the small village, so it was nice seeing local people around. It also close to Detian waterfalls, so you can easily organize a day trip there!

Idyllic waterfall boat trip
A very nice slow boat trip through green water to very beautiful waterfalls. Along the way I saw a falcon circling the boat high in the sky. There were lots of birds chasing insects in the trees and also I saw a watersnake. The Chinese didn't find any of this interesting, they pulled all the curtains and took selfies instead and played Douyin. A private boat with no roof or curtains would be an excellent way to spend time here but I couldn't afford this been a solo traveler.

Guangxi Self-Driving Tour Five Days and Four Nights Chongzuo Surrounding Travel Guide
Day1. Nanning → Gulong Mountain Grand Canyon → Sandie Ridge Waterfall → Detian Waterfall Scenic Area Accommodation.
The itinerary is quite rushed, after playing at Sandie Ridge head to Leizhen for dinner, by the time it's completely dark, there is a section of mountain road about 30 minutes long, pitch black, quite difficult to drive.
Gulong Mountain has very high waterfalls and caves, Sandie Ridge is a free attraction, the waterfall is not high but wins in its delicate beauty, few people and you can take photos freely.
Day2, Detian Waterfall → Longtou Mountain Viewing Platform → Mingshi Pastoral Accommodation.
The homestay is within walking distance to the scenic area, saving the trouble of a 35 yuan round-trip bus, and right across the river is Vietnam, quite interesting. Passing by the No. 837 boundary marker, no one around, free to take photos. The No. 836 boundary marker in the Detian scenic area instantly lost its appeal. Longtou Mountain is the drone view of Mingshi Pastoral, with a small platform, shed, resting tables and chairs, and trash bins, definitely worth the 20 yuan. Stay at Daxin Hualu, this homestay is beyond reproach, with great scenery, large rooms with complete facilities, Shiseido toiletries, priced between 500-1000, very good value for money.
Day3. Mingshi Pastoral Cycling
Mingshi Pastoral can be said to be full of beautiful scenery everywhere, such as Fish Scale Dam, Happiness Bridge, Big Cartoon, etc., all very photogenic. Even at the edge of the fields, by the river, on the bridge, you can sit quietly for a good while. There are many cycling routes, some places are not clearly marked, still need improvement. Continue to stay at Daxin Hualu at night
Day4. Mingshi Pastoral → Tongna Bay → Qiaomiao Reservoir, stay in Daxin County. Originally wanted to drive along Anping Xianhe, but encountered a farm vehicle transporting sugarcane that had a flat tire on the way, blocking the road, so had to walk along the river and check a few ferries before leaving, very few tourists. The forest sea of Qiaomiao Reservoir is a bit like the waterborne karst, with people camping and barbecuing by the lake. Wanted to drive around the reservoir, but the roads in the sugarcane fields were too small, winding with many forks, got lost in a short while, and navigation was useless. So had to give up
Day5. Daxin County → Buquan Township → Nanning Airport. Going to Buquan Township requires driving another forty to fifty minutes of winding mountain roads, but it's absolutely worth it, the beauty of Buquan Township is like a gem hidden in the deep mountains. Along the way, there will also be large fields of red heart dragon fruit, quite spectacular, for those accustomed to plains and small hills, Guangxi's scenery is both grand and delicate. Perhaps for people from mountainous provinces, the shock may not be as strong, you can say I'm inexperienced, but please do not belittle the mountains and rivers of Guangxi. This self-driving experience in Guangxi was really good, met all warm and hospitable people, even the 80-year-old gatekeeper at the foot of Longtou Mountain, we could chat for a while. In school, the geography textbook described Guangxi as the largest sugar-producing area, and being there in person truly made me appreciate the vast sugarcane fields. It is said that the Yangtze River Delta is a sweet food area, and I can't help but think that more than half of every spoonful of sugar we add to our dishes may come from Guangxi.

✅ Chongzuo, Guangxi, has transformed from an unknown small border town into a fashionable holiday destination. Compared to the well-known Guilin and the bustling Beihai throughout the seasons, Chongzuo is more niche and serene. Without leaving the country, you can enjoy Vietnamese cuisine and Saigon coffee, as the exotic charm of the Sino-Vietnamese blend comes uninvited.
✳️ The place where the Wild Stay Collection·Wanxiang is located boasts karst landscapes comparable to Guilin, colorful ethnic minority cultures, and exotic Vietnamese charm... What's more interesting is that every guest at the Wild Stay 'checks in by boat', a unique ceremonial experience that is fascinating.
🕍 The exterior of the homestay blends with the natural scenery of the Heishui River, with Southeast Asian-style thatched houses integrated into nature, providing travelers with a tranquil space for dialogue with the natural environment, where simply opening a window lets you feel the picturesque mountains and rivers.
❣️ Don't miss the invisible check-in spot of Wanxiang - the rooftop open-air swimming pool. Even if you can't swim, it's worth taking lots of photos. At night, it's recommended to walk around the outdoor public area, where romantic bonfire parties and open-air movies let you fully indulge in the camping experience.
For this mushroom house! I specifically took a trip to Guangxi
Guangxi, how many more surprises do you have that I don't know about!
The mushroom house by the Heishui River, even if the journey is long and arduous,
I am willing to go see you.
Thatched roof, ins style pool, tropical rainforest,
In the distance, layers of mountains complement each other.
Afternoon tea☕️, bonfire movie, infinity pool,
I fell in love with this paradise on earth in a second!
💡Straw hats, wicker bags, bicycles are all their photo props,
They are really thoughtful to the guests!
I thought Guilin was beautiful enough until I arrived in Chongzuo
This is not Southeast Asia, this is Chongzuo, Guangxi!
It was worth the 6-hour drive to get here
I checked into the stunningly beautiful mushroom house amidst the mountains and rivers
When I saw this scenery, I was amazed!
This is a cluster of homestays, with four brands inside: Wanxiang, Ye Bai, Ji Jian, Xi Kong, and we stayed at 🏨 Wanxiang Holiday Villa in the Chongzuo Wild Lodge Collection
🚗Transportation: It is recommended to rent a car or drive yourself
● Nanning Wuxu Airport - Lodge Collection (about 1.5h)
● The lodge collection has a parking lot, parking is free (with NIO charging piles)
● Chongzuo South Station - Lodge Collection (about 50min) Be sure to book in advance to avoid not having a car)
🏨Rooms
Each room is shaped like a wild mushroom 🍄 thatched cottage, with a total of 12 villa suites, surrounded by lush banana trees, as if in Southeast Asia! The rooms have circular panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, and the facilities are very complete. The private butler service is very attentive. The most thoughtful thing is that they have prepared straw hats, knitting, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, makeup remover, and other products for girls, as well as welcome fruits, afternoon tea, and you can ask the butler to prepare the water in advance so you can take photos in the private pool with afternoon tea! It's really enjoyable 😎
😋Restaurant
The restaurant is near the Hei River, with beautiful scenery, and breakfast is also served here. The butler selects a main course and soup at check-in, and there are also self-service bread, fruit, and drinks available.
🚣Entertainment
Riding a bicycle 🚴 in the park is what I look forward to the most, as well as free outdoor movies 🎬, frisbee DIY 🥏, swimming pool! There are also bamboo raft afternoon tea, kayaking, paddleboarding, etc., but these are paid services!
📷Photo Spots
Wearing a vacation dress, every place in the park is suitable for taking pictures. I personally like several photo spots, see pictures
1. Wanxiang's private bubble pool
2. Campfire outdoor movie
3. Other public areas (It is recommended to ride a bicycle leisurely around the park, which can also be used as a prop for photos, super photogenic!)
🍃Chongzuo Tourism:
Besides lazing around in the hotel, you can also go for a walk here
1. Detian Transnational Waterfall
2. Mingshi Pastoral
🛖Chongzuo Wild Lodge Collection
📍Chongzuo Wild Lodge Collection (Wanxiang Homestay Resort Village), Sibatun, Xinhe Town, Jiangzhou District, Chongzuo City, Guangxi
If you can't make it to the secret paradise of Chongzuo Lishi, consider staying at the Wild Lodge!
Chongzuo | Stay in a mushroom house at the Wild Lodge Resort B&B
If you think the price of the secret paradise of Chongzuo Lishi is too expensive and you're hesitant to spend that much, you might want to consider booking a room at the Wild Lodge. There are four brands of B&Bs with prices around 2k per night, which is much more affordable.
The rooms are all mushroom-shaped, which is super cute, and the amenities are my favorite lelabo.
The location is far from the downtown area, and it includes three meals a day plus afternoon tea, all within the lodge. It's perfect for a vacation to relax and enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and stars.
