Mingshi Scenic Area

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! 🛻 Chongzuo 3 Days 2 Nights Self-Drive Tour Itinerary Day 1: Rent a car from Chongzuo South Station and head to Detian Transnational Waterfall Group, then go to Mingshi Countryside (watch the sunset here, accommodation prices are about 200-300 yuan). Day 2: First visit Mingshi Countryside, then go to Gulong Canyon, Sandiequan Waterfall, Tongling Grand Canyon, Aibu Waterfall, and finally arrive at E'quan (watch the sunset here, accommodation prices are about 100-200 yuan). Day 3: Depart from E'quan, head to Jiuzhou Ancient Town, and then to Longyang Tiankeng (if time permits, you can also visit Jianlong Mountain, which is on the way to Longyang Tiankeng), and finally return to Chongzuo South Station (if there is a relevant high-speed train, you can leave on the same day, if not, you can leave the next morning, accommodation prices are about 100-200 yuan). ⚠️ 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.
