Guangxi Chongzuo Detian Waterfall is a transnational waterfall. It is really spectacular to watch it on site, but the retention time is a little short. It would be better if it were longer. There are various viewing platforms in the scenic area, and you can take pictures from different angles.
During the flood season, the waterfall is absolutely amazing, beautiful and spectacular, but it's hot. I spent a whole day just to take a bamboo raft to see the waterfall for more than ten minutes. There's not much to see in the Vietnamese style street and the Vietnamese goods store in the food court. It was a waste of time to walk there. I was tired and had to spend another 10 yuan per person to take a sightseeing bus to the exit of the scenic area. It turned out that there were several viewing platforms on the road with beautiful panoramic views of the waterfall. It's a pity that I couldn't get off the sightseeing bus. In the end, I walked back to see the waterfall unwillingly, wasting time and money. I suggest that if you want to go, just go straight to the exit. The scenery along the way is great. Don't go to the other side to visit the Vietnamese style street unless you want to eat! The sugarcane juice in the scenic area is delicious, although it is more expensive than outside. However, I tried two places outside, and the hygiene and taste were not as good as those in the scenic area. Also, when taking the sightseeing bus from the visitor center, it is recommended to sit on the left on the way there and on the right on the way back. The scenery along the way will be better. The last picture was taken from the sightseeing bus.

The unique karst landscape is worth exploring and exploring at your leisure. Three parts natural, seven parts imaginative, the landscape takes on different forms from different angles. It's truly a marvel at nature's uncanny craftsmanship!
I've been here several times, and this time I brought my elderly family members. Summer vacation is incredibly crowded, and the experience is significantly reduced. Many scenic spots are packed and overcrowded. I really don't recommend coming during the summer; you'll spend a lot of time waiting in line.

It would have been quite convenient to walk from Gantong to Xima Cao and then pay the 50 yuan per person difference to take the cable car down the mountain, but now you have to climb 1,200 steps to get to Xima Cao, which is a bummer. They are currently building another staircase or elevator nearby, so it may be improved in the future.
The cable car is the first choice for parent-child travel. The pool water is much clearer. The queue for the battery car in Longmen Scenic Area is too long, so I gave up decisively. It is still necessary to walk around Nie Er's Tomb after getting off the cable car.

It's okay. It's a bit tiring to walk around, so I decided to take the train. As for the attractions, some are beautiful, while others are not so interesting. In short, I still have to come and experience it.
The Dongfengyun Scenic Area is absolutely worth a visit! The architecture is unique, and the red-brick Kaleidoscope Art Gallery feels like a fairytale world, making any photo shoot a standout. The lush greenery and fresh air of the park make for a truly relaxing stroll. There are also a variety of unique shops offering interesting souvenirs. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the experience is fantastic. I highly recommend a visit!

It was a worthwhile and wonderful trip. Thanks to Ctrip for arranging it. The free day on the last day was like an extra day of leisure time because our flight was late. The hotel had average reviews online, but I thought the transportation was very convenient. We visited most of the planned attractions. It was a very happy time with the Luo family.
There are lots of performances every day, and it's always fun when I bring friends from other provinces. You just have to immerse yourself in it, hahaha.
Nowadays, many buildings have restaurants (specializing in their respective ethnic groups), which is quite fun. You can enjoy roasted milk fan in the Bai village, and there are Dai-style restaurants in the Dai village. Restaurant prices are generally comparable to those outside the scenic area, so they're very affordable.

Good place for families and for folks who like animals. Very large zoo and need to book the park tour instead of walking.
It's worth the price of admission. There are so many animals to interact with, and while it costs money, it's a lot of fun. Best of all, you can take photos with the tiger cubs and feed the big ones up close.
It feels more fun than the Beijing Wildlife Park, and there are so many more animals. I recommend spending the better part of a day here with your kids!
Note: You can't touch the tiger cubs! You can't touch them!

The scenery is very beautiful, the facilities in the scenic area are great, the consumption is not expensive, and it is very convenient to take a sightseeing bus. You can get off the bus at each viewing platform and enjoy the scenery while walking. It is really enjoyable.
The scenery of Wanfenglin is so beautiful. Take the scenic sightseeing bus to the high observation deck and overlook the beautiful scenery. The sightseeing bus is a single-line loop, without turning back. You can get off at each scenic spot, look at the scenery, and then walk about 100 meters to take another sightseeing bus in front. It is easy and labor-saving.

It was about to rain, but it hadn't stopped yet. I took the shuttle bus up the mountain and then slowly walked down. It was a bit strenuous, but very good for my lungs. There weren't many people, and most were devout. The Buddha was incredibly compassionate, the Guanyin statue in the Longhua Pagoda was resplendent and elegant, and the colorful Cloud Pond, marveled at the interplay of light and cloud, was less captivating due to the weather. After visiting Dianxi Wetland Park, I was exhausted and took a taxi back to the city. The ride-hailing driver I met in Mile was incredibly friendly, a kind of Buddha-like friendliness.
The scenic spot is very nice and worth a visit. There are sightseeing buses that go directly to the top of the mountain to see the Giant Buddha, and then walk down the steps. On the way, you can see the Buddha's hand, pagoda, and other things. You can check them out one by one. I recommend buying a one-way ticket for the sightseeing bus and walking down. The scenery is also nice, and it's a good place to take a leisurely walk and breathe in the fresh air.

When I went there, Yuanyang Lake was closed, so I felt like I needed to refund half of the ticket price. However, it was good that students didn't need to pay for tickets during the summer vacation, so it was still worth a visit. However, going up and down the stairs was too tiring, and the shuttle bus was a bit far away, which still needs to be improved.
There are underground rivers, caves, waterfalls, and you can even walk under the waterfalls. The experience is amazing! It feels a bit like the Tomb Raiders. The attractions don't require much physical strength, and are suitable for both the elderly and children. The children love it. The reason I didn't give it a full score is that I think the ticket price is a bit expensive and the entire scenic area is not big.

Living in the villa, you can visit the countryside and surroundings in detail, and the villa uses bicycles for free. The surrounding scenery is about 5 kilometers away. The mountains and clear waters are beautiful. Especially eye-catching, to make a blockbuster [scenery] [price-performance ratio]
It's worth a visit. The scenic area is well managed and the service attitude is good. The boatman and the tour guide always greeted us with a smile. The girl patiently explained and sang folk songs. The scenic spot is compact, the scenery is beautiful, and it's very photogenic.
