Nandan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Retreat into the bamboo forests for a private hot spring soak, and just chill

Guangxi Hechi Nandan Mineral Hot Spring | Newly opened hot spring hotel near Guizhou, the environment is very comfortable! The private hot spring atmosphere in the rooms is also spot on! Before 5 pm, the outdoor hot springs are not crowded, and you can book the whole pool with friends. The breakfast is also quite good, with Nandan rice noodles available. It's recommended to drive yourself, as there are no dining options nearby the hotel, nor is there delivery service. The hotel's lunch and dinner are not cost-effective, but a 20-minute drive to the county town allows for a variety of dining choices.

Guangxi| Going to the hot springs in winter is the real deal!

A room with a private hot spring in Guangxi! Private and with a great view!

A hot spring hotel in Guangxi that locals should never miss... We went there for a team building event and stayed in a twin room with its own private hot spring. The room also has an independent hot spring pool, and the curtains for the window and balcony are electric, ensuring privacy. The public hot spring currently has 11 pools with different temperatures, and hotel guests can soak for free. The hotel's western buffet is plentiful and is about a 30-minute drive from Nandan County. You can also choose to dine in the county. In addition to the guest rooms and public hot spring pool area, there is also a gym and a KTV. The large lawn in front of the hotel is a camping area where you can play on swings and play ball games. However, the weather was not very good when we went, it was raining, and there was a lot of fog in the mountains. The buffet has fewer types. But overall it is very suitable for recuperation and relaxation, the hotel is very atmospheric and the environment is good. Address: China Nandan Mineral Hot Spring Geomagnetic Resort Hotel

Trust me, you'll regret it if you don't come here

|||It's so amazing, this must be considered the pinnacle of domestic caves! Location: Li Lake Yao Township, Nandan County, Hechi City, Guangxi. Attraction: AAAA-rated attraction, comprising several scenic areas, including the Ge Ya Si Valley, Dong Tian Sheng Jing, and Bai Ku Yao Village. Opening hours: 09:00-17:30. Ticket: A through ticket for the three scenic spots is 110 yuan, including a shuttle bus. Travel: Navigate to "Ge Ya Si Valley Tourist Center" or "Yao Wang Tian Xia Scenic Area" by self-driving. There is a high-speed rail station in the Guangxi direction, Hechi West Station, but it's quite far. From the Guizhou direction, there is the Libo Station, which is closer and recommended to get here and then take a taxi. There is an airport in Hechi, but there are very few flights, so check if there are flights from your location. Accommodation: There are two hotels in the scenic area, with the Ge Ya Si Valley featuring characteristic mud houses, and the Bai Ku Yao Village side featuring buildings with a Yao village appearance. Alternatively, you can stay in Nandan County, which is a half-hour drive away. Touring: It is recommended to start playing from the Ge Ya Si Valley side without taking the same route back. After entering the ticket check, on the left is the mud house area, and on the right is the entrance to Dong Tian Sheng Jing. After finishing Dong Tian Sheng Jing, transfer at the exit to Bai Ku Yao Village, and then return the same way to Ge Ya Si Valley to watch the bonfire party. Ge Ya Si Valley → Dong Tian Sheng Jing → Bai Ku Yao Village → Dong Tian Sheng Jing → Ge Ya Si Valley. Ge Ya Si Valley Mainly features mud house accommodations and bonfire parties, with a pastoral charm. Dong Tian Sheng Jing An extremely impressive underground cave, with dark rivers, waterfalls, and canyons. The total length is 3.5 kilometers, and it takes about 1.5 hours to walk with stops. There is signal inside, and there are 2 toilets, so no need to worry about emergencies. Bai Ku Yao Village Some imitation folk buildings, mainly related to Bai Ku Yao, with performances on holidays, and mountain song performances during the March 3rd festival. Photo spots: Pastoral homestays, underground caves, Bai Ku Yao. Cuisine: Nandan County is close to Guizhou, and the sour soup beef offal and sour soup fish are very good. Xing Fu Cheng has a night market street with barbecue snacks and sweet soups, very lively. Clothing: It's already hot in mid-April, short sleeves are enough. But importantly, it's a bit cold inside the caves, so long sleeves are needed. I saw some people wearing cotton clothes to go in. TIPS: The plank road is not wide, and it's easy to bump into others when it's crowded, so watch your phone, as it's impossible to retrieve anything from the dark underground river. Dong Tian Sheng Jing can be considered a new attraction, and it's not crowded on non-holidays, so go in groups. Imagine what it feels like to walk alone in the long, empty, and dark underground. If you're not driving yourself, you can ask the taxi driver to help buy tickets, locals only need to pay 80 yuan. Experience: It seems that it hasn't been featured on National Geographic yet, but I feel that this cave must be promoted in the future. Such an amazing attraction must be shared. Some say it's like 'The Grave Robbers' Chronicles,' but I think it's more like 'Journey to the Center of the Earth,' and it's definitely one of the must-visit places in life.

My goodness, where is this place thinking of going (with live)

✍🏻 I've seen caves before, but never such a large canyon cave. 📝 The magnificent cave in Nandan, Hechi, with a total length of about 3.5 kilometers of underground river canyon caves, the real scene is more shocking than the pictures on the internet. 1️⃣. There are routes to the left and right, up and down, and the space is quite open along the way, not boring. 2️⃣. It's like walking into the world of 'The Lost Tomb' novels, sometimes when you look up, it's like the cosmic nebula. The underground river reflects the caves above, and looking down it seems like an abyss. In some places, it's a real canyon, and the sound of the river water falling has an echo, which is both shocking and scary. 3️⃣. The lighting in the first half is pretty good, not messy, and the atmosphere is well created. The middle and back sections are a bit gaudy with all the colors, green and red, reminded me of Guilin. 4️⃣. The temperature inside the cave is low, and the humidity is high, so you need to wear a jacket. 5️⃣. We went during the holidays, and it wasn't particularly crowded, which actually makes this kind of place even scarier... The shuttle bus costs 35 yuan, and the attraction was free of charge on the day, normally it should be a 100 yuan joint ticket (the other two attractions are just average).

|||It's so amazing, this must be considered the pinnacle of domestic caves! Location: Li Lake Yao Township, Nandan County, Hechi City, Guangxi. Attraction: AAAA-rated attraction, comprising several scenic areas, including the Ge Ya Si Valley, Dong Tian Sheng Jing, and Bai Ku Yao Village. Opening hours: 09:00-17:30. Ticket: A through ticket for the three scenic spots is 110 yuan, including a shuttle bus. Travel: Navigate to "Ge Ya Si Valley Tourist Center" or "Yao Wang Tian Xia Scenic Area" by self-driving.

Alternatively, you can stay in Nandan County, which is a half-hour drive away. Touring: It is recommended to start playing from the Ge Ya Si Valley side without taking the same route back. After entering the ticket check, on the left is the mud house area, and on the right is the entrance to Dong Tian Sheng Jing. After finishing Dong Tian Sheng Jing, transfer at the exit to Bai Ku Yao Village, and then return the same way to Ge Ya Si Valley to watch the bonfire party. Ge Ya Si Valley → Dong Tian Sheng Jing → Bai Ku Yao Village → Dong Tian Sheng Jing → Ge Ya Si Valley.

If you're not driving yourself, you can ask the taxi driver to help buy tickets, locals only need to pay 80 yuan. Experience: It seems that it hasn't been featured on National Geographic yet, but I feel that this cave must be promoted in the future. Such an amazing attraction must be shared. Some say it's like 'The Grave Robbers' Chronicles,' but I think it's more like 'Journey to the Center of the Earth,' and it's definitely one of the must-visit places in life.
