The scenery is good, that is, the scenic spot is too big to walk! Even if you take a battery car, you can't finish the attractions. It is recommended to transfer several core attractions according to personal strength and hobbies. Tickets can be booked one day in advance for 2 yuan cheaper
The park is very large, and it is a bit difficult to swim after a day. Most tourists enter from the north gate, play the shade botanical garden, orchid garden, etc. If you continue to climb the mountain to Taohuawu through the ancient and modern net red punching point and then go to the ancient Guanyin Temple, go down the mountain to the west gate to take the subway, I really recommend taking a tour bus for 5 yuan, otherwise it is too tired, especially Nanning, which is hot for most of the time. Unfortunately, as long as the tour bus gets off the bus, you have to buy tickets again. In addition, you must bring anti-mosquito spray all the way to be stung by small cockroaches and itchy to death.
I didn't want to go shopping, but I didn't look far away, so I went shopping. Very unexpected, the ticket at this price, the natural oxygen bar inside, the green plants are very rich, the inside is very large, suitable for taking a battery car, the battery car price is reasonable, two or three hours are enough, if you want to walk, leave some time. The experience is very good 👍
It was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon in Nanning. I went directly to Qingxiu Mountain by subway. I planned to take a sightseeing train and stroll around. It happened to be the first day of the light show. The scenes of various shapes and light exhibitions were shocking. The scale was mostly the size of rockery, and there was a group of ants and butterflies. The lamps formed a garden. The wings will even move, a long corridor hanging a variety of small lights, gradient color jellyfish.
Very good scenic spot, walking alone is very expensive, it is best to take a shuttle bus between the park, 5 yuan once. Although the weather is not good, there are still a lot of tourists. The scenic area is rich in vegetation and the flowers and trees are very beautiful. Especially the camellia and peach blossoms. Because of the time relationship, I didn't see the orchids. There are also interactive and game areas that are perfect for families with babies.
The beautiful Nanning five-level A scenic spot Qingxiu Mountain, the tickets are cheap, the transportation is convenient, the ticket taxi is completed on Ctrip, very convenient! I will recommend friends to go to Qingxiu Mountain for a trip, it is really convenient to use Ctrip, buy air tickets, accommodation has discounts!
Denglong Elephant Tower, overlooking Nanning City, the scenery is beautiful, the whole scenic spot is particularly large, it is recommended to take a sightseeing bus, the sightseeing bus 5 yuan is not expensive, but the sightseeing bus is not 5 yuan to sit casually, sit at the station and get off, and then sit again and charge 5 yuan
The scenic spot is too big. If you want to take a sightseeing bus or a small train, you must enter the north gate. One ticket can only be entered next time. First walk to the Lanyuan, the sky garden, the shade botanical garden, then return to the north gate, take the car to the mountain temple, take the small train directly to the east gate, now there is nothing to see in the middle of winter, the east gate get off to play the aquatic garden, Monet garden, leaf garden.
