Inspired by Zhang Xinyu, I embarked on a journey of dreams
✨My friends, let me tell you about a mysterious place, recommended by the goddess Zhang Xinyu herself—Guangxi Baise's Haokun Lake! 😍 From the moment I heard its name, I was filled with curiosity and anticipation.
🌫️That day, I drove through a thick fog, winding along mountain roads, covering more than 140 kilometers overnight, just to witness its beauty with my own eyes. To be honest, at that moment, I was truly amazed by the natural wonder created by Mother Nature! 😲
💧Haokun Lake, like a dazzling pearl, is nestled among the mountains. The water is clear and transparent, with sparkling waves, as if it could cleanse one's soul. Standing by the lake, I felt as if I could hear the breath of nature, feeling its warmth and inclusiveness. 💕
🏞️The lake and mountains reflect each other's beauty, each view is like a beautiful painting. I strolled along the lake, enjoying the comfort of the breeze on my face, and admiring the beautiful scenery in front of me, truly feeling that the trip was worthwhile! 👣
🌈Friends, if you also want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and find a peaceful and beautiful place, then Haokun Lake is definitely a good choice! Believe me, it will bring you unexpected surprises and emotions! 🌟
Sure to be a hit: the beautiful Haokun Lake.
【Introduction】: I've always heard about the stunning beauty of Haokun Lake. As we approached the destination and caught a distant view of the lake, everyone in the car exclaimed in awe upon arrival. The indescribable beauty cannot be captured by a camera.
⛺【Things to Know】: It is recommended to stay overnight in the scenic area, where you can enjoy a lakeside tour and a boat ride on the lake.
🛬【Itinerary】: In the evening, you can also enjoy the night view. The local farmhouse cuisine in the scenic area is excellent, featuring home-raised chickens and homemade cured meat. You can even ask the owner to make sticky rice cakes for you.
🧡【Tips】: It is still a relatively niche spot, so it is best to drive or hire a car to get there.
Baose Haokun Lake, with its myriad colors, is nestled in Lingyun County, Baise City, Guangxi
The lake is dotted with islands, with stunning mountains and cliffs on both sides. The water is crystal clear, and the surrounding mountains rise continuously. There are small islands in the lake with a solitary peak standing tall, making island visits quite enjoyable.
Travel Tips: Next to the Baise high-speed train station, there is a tourist bus that goes to the Lingyun Haokun Lake Visitor Center. However, you will need to switch to a shuttle bus (10 yuan) at the visitor center. The bus ride takes 20 minutes and drops you off at the Wind and Rain Bridge, where you also queue for the return trip. There are plenty of homestays within the scenic area.

Goose Spring Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Forever moved by the landscapes of Guangxi!!!
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.

Connected by nature...🇨🇳🇻🇳
China and Vietnam share a long border, however the most spectacular part of this must be the Detian Waterfalls in China's Guangxi Province. Around a 3 hours drive eastwards of Nanning, or alternatively south from Baise, it is reached by private car or public bus. To drive here, you can rent a car and drive yourself as the roads are in good condition and not difficult to navigate, or you can hire a driver. For the bus, you can depart from Nanning bus station, although this option is slower. Remember to bring ID or passports for buying tickets and for the frontier border check-even though you're not leaving a country, all vehicles are still inspected.
When you arrive, you board the sightseeing bus up the mountain, straddling the river that seperates the two countries, finally arriving at the top and the waterfall scenic area. You walk in a circular direction around the waterfall from the east side, offering spectacular close-up views of the whole valley. There are many observation points for photos or videos here. There are places to buy souvenirs and also vietnamese snacks. Be sure to try the cliff walk, glass bridge and the slide down the mountain for 59¥! Best time to visit here has to be mid-afternoon, so that you get both daytime and the evening sunset over the mountains range and waterfalls. A must-visit attraction in Guangxi and I highly recommend it to anyone.

mountain bliss...
Located around 2 hours drive south of Baise, China's Guangxi province, you will come to one of the most stunning places to visit in a China itself. This is the mountains that run along the China-Vietnam border region and there you will find Goose Spring, hidden away in it's secluded and picturesque wonderland.
Only accessible by private car...once you arrive, a short boat ride up to small river is a good way to begin the visit. This is the opportunity to see the local people and take in the unbelievable scenery that now surrounds you on all sides. Then take a walk past the gardens, pools and water wheels and take a leisurely climb up to the viewing platform overlooking the valley below. Here you can take an unforgettable panorama or the scene in front of you. Climb even higher for a walk along the side of the mountain trail. Any time of year is perfect to come here...even in the winter, the fog provides a mysterious backdrop to the mountains!

Sanmenhai Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Hechi Fengshan! Surrounded by mountains like a phoenix, surrounded by phoenix are mountains! Enjoy the Karst spectacle!
Fengshan County, Hechi City, Guangxi is located in the northwest of Guangxi, named for its 'surrounded by mountains like a phoenix, surrounded by phoenix are mountains'. Fengshan has a beautiful natural ecological environment, unique Karst landscape, unique cultural history and ethnic customs, and is one of the few counties that have both 'World Geological Park' and 'International Longevity Health Base' world brands.
Picture 1-2: Sanmenhai Scenic Area is located in Poxin Village, Sanmenhai Town, Fengshan County. It is a national 4A tourist attraction. Here, seven string bead-like karst skylights have developed. It is a hidden spot. It is not a 'blue hole' but it is better than a 'blue hole'. It has a blue-green color that is more astonishing than the sea. Overlooking from the mountain, the Sanmenhai in the green mountains is like a sapphire inlaid on the green brocade, shining brightly.
Picture 3: Shima Lake is located in Xiaya Village, Jinya Yao Township, Fengshan County. The surface of Shima Lake is wide, with green waves rippling, the water is shining, surrounded by peaks, and the boat is moving in the middle, the scenery changes with the boat, which is pleasing to the eye. In spring, it will be full of golden rapeseed flowers.
Picture 4: Bara Monkey Mountain Rural Tourism Area is located in Bara Tun, Jiulong Village, Qiaoyin Township, Fengshan County. It is surrounded by mountains and is a typical Karst forest land. Walking into Bara Monkey Mountain, in addition to nearly 700 gentle macaques allowing everyone to get close, watch, and take pictures.
Picture 5: Mandarin Duck Cave is located 3 kilometers east of Fengshan County, on the waist of Phoenix Mountain. It is a high-level double-layer cave with a winding journey of 1200 meters. The cave is beautiful, with stalactites in the cave, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone mantles, and stalactites. The strange stones are exquisitely shaped and lifelike, forming a unique cave stone forest landscape.
The real scene is more stunning than the pictures!!!
Experiencing the joy of Semporna without going abroad, the blue glass sea. The first entry to the scenic area is free, and the boat tour costs 98 yuan per person. Requirements for half-price tickets:
1. Elderly: Above 60 years old, with the original ID card.
2. Children: From 6 years old (excluding) to 14 years old (including) or height from 1.2 meters (excluding) to 1.4 meters (including)
3. Students: Full-time undergraduates and below aged 24 (including) and under (domestic full-time regular college, junior college, vocational high school students, excluding graduate students, adult education, self-taught students, short-term advanced studies students with a valid registered student ID or student card, disabled persons (with their own disability certificate)
Entry to the scenic area is free, but you need to take a boat to truly experience the beauty of Sanmen Sea. The boat ride costs 98 yuan for adults and 49 yuan for students. Tickets can be purchased on the first floor of the scenic area reception center, and then you can board the boat directly on the basement level. The boat will take you through three caves, and the entrances and exits of the caves are quite narrow, with the smallest passage only allowing one or two boats to pass through.
Sanmen Sea is not as wide as the big rivers; it is an underground river, so the scenic area has limited capacity and there is no high-speed rail access.
The first route is: Take a bus from Nanning for a few hours to Fengshan County, then transfer to a bus to get there.
The second route: Take a high-speed train from Nanning to Baise, then take a bus to Sanmen Sea Town, and then transfer to a bus to get there.
The third route: Self-driving is quite convenient, taking the bus is really tiring and hard. When you row to the first cave entrance, the river water begins to slowly turn blue, crystal clear, that kind of deep and transparent blue that can't be captured by a phone, there is a certain color difference, you have to see it with your own eyes to know how beautiful it is.
Passing under the stalactite sinkholes by boat is also very stunning, and the weather must be good. Although the scenic area is beautiful, some surrounding facilities still need to be improved. Overall, transportation is not very convenient, supporting facilities are not complete, and sun protection measures should be taken.
If I hadn't just been there, I almost believed it!
There are seas in the mountains, and doors on the sea, with gentle and clear glassy waters

Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Detian Transnational Waterfall
The Detian Waterfall is located in Detian Village, Shuolong Town, Daxin County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi, on the upstream of the Guichun River at the border between China and Vietnam. It is connected to the nearby Ban Gioc Waterfall in Vietnam and is the largest transnational waterfall in Asia and the fourth largest in the world. It is a Chinese national AAAAA tourist attraction. March is not the time when the Detian Waterfall has abundant water, but it is still awe-inspiring!
Shuolong and Vietnam are only separated by the Guichun River.
No wonder it's the location choice for 'The Journey of Flower', so beautiful! So stunning!
First stop: The awe of nature
The imminent sound of the waterfall seems to be calling for the brave explorers. Standing in front of the Detian transnational waterfall, I was deeply moved by this spectacular natural wonder. The water flows like thousands of horses galloping down, and the mist raised refracts rainbows in the sunlight, so unreal in its beauty.
Second stop: The romance of crossing nations
One step across two countries, I left my footprints at the border of Vietnam and Guangxi. Here, the boundary line becomes blurred, with only the endless beauty and rich cultural atmosphere. I communicated with the local children with smiles, feeling the warmth of different nations.
Third stop: The holy land for photo check-ins
Every corner is an excellent background for photos. I put on my brightest dress and took pictures with the waterfall, capturing this unforgettable experience. Each photo shines with the light of youth, making one eager to share them on social media, reaping loads of likes and envy.
The Detian transnational waterfall is not just a simple trip; it is a spiritual cleansing, a courage to challenge oneself. Here, I found inner peace and also ignited a passion for exploring the unknown. If you also long for a trip that you can just set off on, then start from Detian!
Forever moved by the landscapes of Guangxi!!!
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

⚠️Precautions
1️⃣Guangxi's weather is unpredictable, so be sure to check the weather forecast and prepare sunscreen, rain gear, and mosquito repellent in advance.
2️⃣Try not to travel by motorcycle🏍️, as it is unsafe and without guarantee.
3️⃣Best photo spots at Detian Transnational Waterfall: on the bamboo raft, at the rice field cafe, on the mountaintop, and viewing platforms 5/6.
4️⃣The taste of food in scenic spots is generally mediocre and quite expensive, so you can bring some dry food and your favorite snacks.
