Quyang Lake

Getting There - The place is not of easy access, we hired a driver🚗 and came from Nanning by car, it took around 4 hours but including a stop or around 2 hours in another destination where we had the chance to see the spring goose and rice fields. Attractions - just take a boat ⛵️and enjoy a ride of a little over or one hour around the lake surround by beautiful mountains everywhere. The best part is that seems to not be very well know yet, therefore we were the only ones in the boat, it felt like a private tour only for us ! 😎 Hotels - we did not stay here, but seems there are some hotels in the lake, anyway I would recommend to go and sleep somewhere else, probably the driver can suggest some good option. Food & Restaurants - there are not many options so the best is to bring your own or eat before/after the visit. #summervacation #naturewonders #naturelover #lakes

China's greenest grand canyon and the highest single-level waterfall in Asia, the Tongling Grand Canyon scenic area is long and narrow with deep caves, a beautiful scar on the earth. The canyon is home to more than two thousand rare ancient plants. Inside the canyon, there are deep caves with various strangely shaped stalactites on the walls and ceilings, primitive forests that block out the sky, and natural landscapes such as pastoral scenery that blend with cultural landscapes. The valley is lush, the stream water babbles, and the entire canyon is filled with a refreshing aura. It features a waterfall that is 188.6 meters high and 30 meters wide, the highest single-level waterfall discovered in Southeast Asia to date, with a majestic presence that astonishes and amazes, earning it the reputation of 'the greenest grand canyon in the world'.

Quyang Lake is known as the "sea in the mountains" 🌿This place has not been developed yet, and the matching facilities have not kept up. There are many heavy trucks on the road for self-driving, and the dust is flying. 🌿Here you can drive around the lake, or you can take a boat tour. The view from the observation deck is absolutely beautiful, and most importantly, there are few people. 🌿On the way, I met a local who asked me how I knew about this place. He said that this is a beautiful scene that only locals know about😄 🌸​There are always some surprising encounters...

I am a global traveler from Guanhai Tingtao tour+, please follow me! (This is the 1491st travel shot published in 841 places in 51 countries on 5 continents) Quyang Lake is a large karst plateau artificial lake, located 28 kilometers northwest of Jingxi City, Baise. Quyang Lake is surrounded by mountains and water, and the entire lake surface is shaped like two large gourds, symmetrical from north to south. The mountains surrounding the lake are undulating, not only becoming a natural barrier for Quyang Lake, but also a charming landscape of Quyang Lake. At the foot of the mountain on both sides of the lake, there are more than a dozen beautiful Zhuang ethnic villages, which make Quyang Lake even more charming. Quyang Lake is an open scenic area. There is a lake-side highway. Self-driving cars can go to a depth of 15 kilometers, with different views at every step. Of course, you can also take a boat tour of the lake. Go to the visitor center to buy a boat ticket, 58 yuan per person. You can also go to the other end of the dam to bargain for a charter boat, only 150 for an hour and a half. Comparatively speaking, if there are many people, chartering a boat is more cost-effective.
