[2025 Nanning Attraction] Travel Guide for The Yiling Cave (Updated Oct)

As far as the eye can see, it’s all stars✨, stars⭐️. You are directly in the Milky Way! Tens of thousands of small lights light up together, spread across the ridges between fields. Walking in feels like stepping into a glowing little galaxy, and even casual phone photos look beautiful. No need to wait specifically for the starry sky; it’s cool and great for photos at night here. Perfect for taking kids or strolling with friends, with the evening breeze full of fruit fragrance. When tired from walking, you can pick fresh fruit to eat on the spot, juicy with every bite, and also visit the nearby small market to buy some dried fruit. ❣️Fun fact: Dragon fruit is a tropical plant, and its flowering and fruiting are significantly affected by the length of light exposure and temperature. It grows best with more than 12 hours of light daily. When natural light is insufficient (such as in winter or rainy seasons), the plant tends to enter a "dormant" state, making flowering difficult. Using LED lights at night to simulate daylight can break the original light cycle pattern and ensure continuous growth. ❣️Location: Near Yilingyan, not far from Tengxiang Town. Just navigate to "Shitouzhai Homestay." ❣️Note⚠️ Time: Based on observations, the lighting schedule is as follows: lights are generally on in April, May, September, and October each year. The lighting time is not fixed; lights turn on right after sunset and last about 2 to 3 hours.
