The island isn't big, but it's easy to explore. Renting a small car is a leisurely experience. There are no traffic lights, no traffic police, and no traffic jams—the driving experience is amazing! It's a very pleasant experience. The two seafood markets in Nanwan are very close to each other, and there's a small shop called Sunset Pearl that's very stylish. The rest of the tourist experience is a matter of personal preference. If the island's environmental sanitation could be comprehensively improved, it might be even better. I'm looking forward to it.
The hotel arranged a shuttle to and from the pier in advance, which was quite child-friendly. The proximity to the beach and the large outdoor pool were perfect for the kids. The breakfast didn't change much each day, but the variety was decent. Lrene at the front desk was very helpful and I'd definitely stay here again.

Detian Waterfall is Asia's most spectacular dual-nationality waterfall, reaching a width of 45 stories. Its water volume reaches a peak in August, triple that of Huangguoshu Waterfall, and it straddles China and Vietnam. Bamboo raft rides are available for up-close viewing of its majestic splendor, but unfortunately, the magic carpet ride and glass plank walkway are currently unavailable. Discounts are only available to local residents and tourists from Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. Items within the scenic area are somewhat expensive. You can arrange a day trip to China and Vietnam on-site, taking a bamboo raft tour to Ban Gioc Waterfall, savoring a Vietnamese lunch, and experiencing Vietnamese customs and culture.
Detian Waterfall is the fourth largest transnational waterfall in the world. It is very spectacular, especially the waterfall group in our country is more spectacular. However, the viewing effect is not very good, because you have to take a boat to see it from the front, and you can only see it from the side on the road. The ticket plus the sightseeing bus is 115 yuan. If you make an appointment one day in advance on Ctrip, you can save 5 yuan.

Qingxiu Mountain, a national AAAAA-level scenic spot in Nanning, features subtropical flora, perennially shrouded in mist, and boasts high concentrations of negative oxygen ions, earning it the nickname "the city's green lungs" and "a natural oxygen bar." During the 2024 Spring Festival, it ranked second among the top 10 most popular mountains in China, surpassing traditional peaks like Mount Tai and Mount Lu to become a popular leisure destination. With its picturesque scenery and the sound of pine trees, it's a perfect place for relaxation and a model of ecological beauty near the city.
[🌿 A Complete Guide to Qingxiu Mountain, the City's Green Lung]
It's truly Nanning's city icon! Qingxiu Mountain truly gave me so many surprises. It's truly a 5A-rated scenic spot, and it's definitely worth a visit!
🌳 Environment:
With a high vegetation coverage, it's a true oxygen bar! Walking along the tree-lined paths, you'll be greeted by vibrant shades of green, and the fragrance of the trees fills your breath. The scenic area is vast, but it never felt tiring at all, as every step offers a breathtaking view, allowing you to completely immerse yourself in nature.
📸 Must-see Spots:
1️⃣ Dragon Elephant Tower: From the summit, you'll enjoy a breathtaking view overlooking the entire city of Nanning! The photos are superb.
2️⃣ Tianchi and Yaochi: The water is crystal clear, koi fish swarm, and the gentle breeze by the lake is incredibly pleasant.
3️⃣ Cycad Garden: Countless rare plants, perfect for bringing children to learn about them.
4️⃣ Guanyin Temple: Very popular, the environment is tranquil, and it's worth a peaceful visit.
🚌 Transportation:
The scenic area's sightseeing bus is incredibly convenient! It's 5 yuan per trip, with hop-on/off access. We recommend purchasing a pass (50 yuan for unlimited rides throughout the day) to save energy while still allowing you to explore the entire park. Hikers can also choose to walk, as the paths are well-maintained.
💡 Tips:
- It's recommended to come in the morning for less crowds, fresh air, and to avoid the afternoon heat.
- Be sure to wear mosquito repellent! Mosquitoes can be quite aggressive in areas with lots of greenery.
- Bring plenty of drinking water; there are drinking fountains along the way, but they're spaced far apart.
- Wear comfortable shoes! It takes at least 3-4 hours to explore all the main attractions.
🎫 Ticket Price:
Adults: 20 yuan, a steal! Half price with a student ID, and children under 1.2 meters free (the ultimate value for money).
Different seasons offer unique views: peach blossoms in spring, lotus flowers in summer, sunflowers in autumn, and orchids in winter—a perfect place to visit year-round!
[Summary] Perfect for families, couples, photography, and relaxation. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and recharge your batteries here! 🔋

Fantawild is a very fun place with many fun things to do and experiences suitable for different groups of people. There are games for children and adults who like excitement. There are also many places to check in and take pictures. There are also parades at night. The experience is very strong and worth visiting!
Nanning Fantawild ASEAN Magic Painting! Exploring Southeast Asia in one day is totally worth it!
I took my kids to Nanning Fantawild ASEAN Magic Painting over the weekend and the experience was absolutely amazing! I have to give it a five-star rating!
Each attraction in the park is unique, incorporating the cultural essence of the ten ASEAN countries. My favorite was "Fly With You," where you "fly" through Southeast Asian landmarks on a suspended chair, from the Grand Palace in Thailand to the Merlion in Singapore. The visuals were so realistic it felt like you were actually soaring through the sky. My kids screamed with excitement the entire time. There was also the live performance of "Song of a Thousand Islands," with its stunning combination of lights, water curtains, and song and dance. It felt like I was transported to a Balinese festival—the visuals were incredible!
The architecture in the park is also stunning! The French-style buildings on Vietnam's charming street and the replica stone carvings of Cambodia's Angkor Wat create stunning Southeast Asian photos—perfect for any girl!
Parents with children, don't worry! The park features a kid-friendly carousel, a jungle adventure, and a 4D cinema with a "Boonie Bears" themed animation, ensuring your child's attention. Dining options are plentiful, including Southeast Asian-style coconut rice and spring rolls, as well as simple Chinese fare. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious.
The staff are incredibly friendly and patiently provide directions. Shade tents and fans are provided while waiting in line, ensuring a comfortable summer. The highlight is the evening parade before closing, featuring entertaining performers in international costumes, creating a lively atmosphere.

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.

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.

The scenery is beautiful, the Black Water River is very green, and it is one of the most anticipated attractions in Chongzuo. As a result, the drone flew too forgetful, and fell directly into the water... The staff in the scenic area had a very good attitude. They made a special trip to the watering ground. Although they could not directly help the salvage, they also invited the salvage staff to us in the future. It was convenient, and the drone was successfully fished out, saving so many days of shooting materials. Thank you very much to the staff of the scenic spot. The safety awareness of the staff on the ferry is also great. You must like it! !
The environment is very good, the scenery is really beautiful, especially the clean water. It is very convenient to walk, take a boat, or transfer to the scenic area. The staff in the scenic area are also very enthusiastic. However, there are some aspects that can be improved. For example, the staff on the boat can provide more explanations and add some folk performances along the way.

Beihai trip, a date with the sea Recently I just came back from a trip to Beihai, I can't wait to share this unforgettable experience with you. Silver Beach is really amazing, worthy of the reputation of "the first beach in the world". The sand is as delicate as flour, stepping on it barefoot, and the soft touch comes from the soles of the feet, which is extremely pleasant. In the evening, the sunset is spilled on the beach, and the whole world is dyed warm orange, and the atmosphere is a blockbuster. Here, you can enjoy the sun beach and waves, relaxing. Qiaogang style street is full of fireworks, is a paradise for food lovers. As soon as you enter here, the aroma of various foods will come out. Vietnam rolls, crab noodles, roasted oysters...everything is mouth-watering. At night, the Qiaogang style street, neon lights flashing, lively, while eating food, while feeling this lively atmosphere, happiness is bursting. Weizhou Island is a highlight of the trip to the North Sea. As the largest dead volcano island in China, the island's scenery and unique volcanic geological landscape are amazing. The volcanic rocks in the Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park are strange and strange, as if they are carefully carved artworks by nature. The sea erosion landform of the dripping Danping is beautiful, and at sunset, the embers spill on the sea, sparkling, and beautiful. Beihai Old Street is full of historical charm, built in 1883, the street is a unique Chinese and Western combination of riding buildings, strolling in it, as if crossing back to the past, can feel the prosperity of Beihai once. Today, it is also a lively commercial street where you can enjoy the old buildings, taste local cuisine and buy special souvenirs. However, the North Sea has some minor drawbacks. For example, some attractions are more commercialized, like Qiaogang Style Street, although there are many foods, but some net red shops are not cost-effective. There is also the climate of the North Sea. The summer is long and hot. It belongs to the kind of hot and sultry. It is easy to sticky on the body. It is occasionally cold in winter, and there is no heating. The room is wet and cold. In addition, there are relatively many mosquitoes in the North Sea. You must take anti-mosquito measures to play. Overall, Beihai is a very worthwhile tourist attraction. There are beautiful sea views, rich cuisine and unique human landscape. If you also like the sea, yearning for a leisurely seaside life, then the North Sea will not let you down, pack your bags, come to a romantic encounter with the North Sea!
What impressed me most was the sand—it was so fine and white, so soft to the touch, not at all uncomfortable, and I didn't feel tired even after walking for a long time. The water looked clean, and the waves weren't too strong. It was a wonderful summer day spent playing in the water and sand, and if you bring children, they'll have a blast on the beach for the better part of a day.
The scenic area is also quite convenient. If you want to rinse your feet after playing in the sand, there are plenty of pools everywhere, so you don't have to bring your own water. The parking lot is also spacious, so you don't have to worry about finding a spot if you drive. If you want to do something else, you can rent a boat for a tour or take a helicopter ride to see the ocean from above. If you don't feel like moving, just find a shaded spot on the beach and bask in the sun.
There are also plenty of places to eat nearby, including many seafood stalls serving freshly caught shrimp, crab, and shellfish, all very fresh. Just be sure to ask for the prices to avoid getting ripped off.
There are some downsides, though. For example, on holidays, the beach is incredibly crowded, making it difficult to find a free spot. Taking photos is always crowded, and some vendors keep asking if you want to buy something, which can be a bit annoying.
Overall, if you want to relax and take your kids to the water, this is a great place to go. Avoid weekends and holidays for a much better experience.

The rafting entrance requires a 30-minute walk, which involves descending stairs. The rafting is relatively smooth, with a few small spots that give it a slight rafting feel, but the majority of the experience is paddling. We chose the free rafting option. Some of our group rowed their boats and got completely soaked, while others only got their feet slightly wet. Therefore, it's recommended to bring a change of clothes. After the rafting session, you'll need to walk up the stairs to the shuttle bus stop, which will take you to the parking lot. (Currently, the rafting session is over and the attractions are closed. Upon inquiry, we were told that the plank road is under maintenance, so you can only walk up the stairs back to the shuttle bus stop. If the repairs are complete, you can visit the attractions and then return directly to the shuttle bus stop.) You can leave your change of clothes in the car and change at the parking lot after the rafting session. There are cold showers in the changing rooms (the trip from the car park to the exit takes a total of 4 hours).
Rafting at the Gulongshan Grand Canyon was absolutely amazing and highly recommended. I missed the trip to Tongling Grand Canyon because the Detian Waterfall didn't release its water, which was a bit disappointing. I hope to make up for it next time. A partial refund for any unused portion of the package would have been even better.

The sea lion show was the highlight; the kids loved it. The four sea lion shows lasted about 30 minutes. We also saw the manta ray and mermaid shows. The show was the best experience. The mermaid show was the worst. It was crowded, and you had to stand. There was a small corner building on the second floor where you could sit, but it was packed. The weather was hot, and the mermaids were beautiful, but the experience was terrible.
I took the elderly and children to visit the underwater world. There were many kinds of underwater creatures. The children liked to watch the sea lion show, and the mermaid show was even more exciting. We played there for four hours. Although the ticket cost 168, it was very cost-effective.
