Gengwang Lake in Nanning, Guangxi, is a place that makes you feel like you're on an alien planet

🛵Gengwang Lake is located in the mountains of Long'an County, Guangxi. Due to its unique geographical location, it has the characteristics of dramatic changes in the landscape throughout the year. I have explored and recorded the changes in the scenery of Gengwang Lake in different seasons. ⭐Gengwang Lake is located in the mountains of karst landforms and is the downstream tail of Buquan River. Due to the dramatic development of caves in this area, the river water disappears without a trace after it pours into Gengwang Lake and seeps into the underground caves. ⭐Starting from November each year, the lake water of Gengwang Lake has basically dried up. The outer lake has been planted with buckwheat by local villagers. When the flowers bloom, it is a spectacular sight with a vast expanse of white extending to the foot of the mountain. The inner lake forms a strange landscape, and walking in the inner lake at this time will give you a feeling of stepping on an alien planet. ⛰️Tour route: Buckwheat flower sea👉🏻First Lake👉🏻Second Lake👉🏻Stone Forest👉🏻Cave👉🏻Return the same way 💴Ticket: Free 🌤️Climate: Subtropical monsoon climate 🌡️Temperature: Average 20℃ throughout the year 🌸Flowering period: Mid-October to mid-December each year 📸Photography: The light is good from 8:00-11:00 in the morning and 15:00-17:00 in the afternoon.
