It is located at the junction of Nanning, Guigang, and Laibin, with the main peak reaching about 1,170 meters, making it one of the highest peaks around Nanning. It features alpine meadows and vast seas of clouds comparable to Wugong Mountain, earning it the nickname "Guangxi’s Wugong Mountain." Key tip: This is a wild mountain that is not fully developed. It is currently open for free but requires a certain level of fitness and proper gear. 📝 Preparation before the trip · Best season: spring and autumn (Mar–May, Sep–Nov) with pleasant weather; the scenery is most beautiful from May to October. In spring (Mar–May), you can enjoy rhododendrons blooming all over the mountain; early mornings after rain are the best time to see the sea of clouds. · Must-have app: There is almost no cell signal in the mountains, so be sure to download offline trail maps in the "Two Steps" app in advance. · Clothing guide: Wear non-slip hiking shoes and a windbreaker (it’s windy and cold at the summit); long sleeves and pants are recommended to prevent scratches; bring sun protection (hat, sunglasses). · Gear checklist: trekking poles (essential!), headlamp/flashlight (necessary for night hikes), 2–3 liters of water + high-calorie trail food, power bank, raincoat (weather can change quickly), trash bags (carry out all trash). 🚗 Transportation guide · Driving (preferred): only suitable for self-driving, no direct public transport. About 1.5–2.5 hours from downtown Nanning. · Classic route (Ouyang Village): navigate to "Ouyang Village, Binyang County." After entering the village, drive to the convenience store and take the right entrance to start hiking, continuing to the end of the cement road. · Easier route (off-road vehicle): navigate to "Fozishe, Binyang County" or "Liang Village." Skilled drivers can drive all the way to Fozishe. · Car rental/group tours: take the high-speed train to Binyang Station or Litang Station, then rent a car; or join an outdoor tour group. · Road condition reminder: the last section of the mountain road is full of potholes. It is strongly recommended to drive a high-clearance SUV or off-road vehicle. 🗺️ Hiking routes · Small Dasheng Mountain to Dasheng Mountain loop (most classic): about 13–15 km total, 900–1,100 meters elevation gain, 6–8 hours. Passes Small Dasheng Mountain, the mountain god temple, and a rocky slope before reaching the summit. Suitable for experienced hikers. · Dasheng Mountain round trip (easier route): about 4 km total. Start from Fozishe and go straight to the summit. Suitable for those with limited stamina or who want a quick ascent. · Windmill route (steepest and most rugged): navigate to "Fengmen’ao, Qintang District, Guigang City" or "Longshan Wind Farm, Huaneng Town." The scenery is excellent but very steep, not suitable for beginners. · Supply points: villagers sell water and simple food at the sheep pen or Fozishe (ice water about 5 yuan/bottle), but it’s recommended to bring enough supplies. 🏕️ Accommodation and camping · Lodging near the foot of the mountain: recommended hotels include Vienna Hotel (Binyang Litang branch) and others; also available are rural guesthouses in Guigang. · Camping at the summit: you can camp near the secondary or main peak of Dasheng Mountain. The summit is windy and exposed. A time-saving tip: take a villager’s pickup truck to the fork in the trail before starting the hike (about 30 yuan per person). · Special reminder: camping near gravesites is not recommended; the weather on the mountain changes frequently, so inexperienced campers should avoid camping alone. 🗓️ Classic 2-day 1-night itinerary · Day 1: arrive at the trailhead in the afternoon and start hiking (about 3–4 hours to the summit), enjoy the sunset and starry sky, then camp or stay at a hotel at the foot of the mountain. · Day 2: wake up around 5 AM to watch the sunrise and sea of clouds, take photos, then pack up and descend (about 1.5–2 hours). ⚠️ Practical tips · Safety first: it’s recommended to hike in a group and check the weather in advance. The rocky slope section is steep, so use both hands and feet and be careful. · Sun and insect protection: apply sun protection and watch out for snakes and insects in summer. · Environment and signal: there is little to no signal for most of the hike; carry out all trash and practice Leave No Trace principles. · Beginner advice: joining a guided group is safer. The beauty of Dasheng Mountain lies in its wildness, natural state, and the breathtaking view from the summit where all other mountains seem small. We hope this guide helps you plan your trip better!

If you want to hike in Nanning, locals usually climb Qingxiu Mountain, or for something wilder, Dasheng Mountain. But if you’re looking for a mountain with interesting stones, stories to hear, and no admission fee—then go to Huajia Mountain. It’s located in Datang Town, Liangqing District, less than an hour’s drive from downtown. The mountain isn’t very tall, but the strange stone formation at the top is quite fascinating—stones stacked in various shapes. When the mountain wind blows through the cracks, it makes a low howling sound, as if the mountain is speaking. Tested in person: from the summit, the view is wide open, with the city skyline, the winding Bachijiang River, and rolling hills visible in the distance. Locals call it “Little Huangshan.” Although it’s smaller in scale, the “wild stones you can see for free” make the trip worth the gas. 📍Attraction info Location: Huajia Mountain, Datang Town, Liangqing District, Nanning, about 50 km from downtown Nanning. Transportation: Best by car. Take the Lanhai Expressway and exit at “Datang,” then enter the mountain via the town road. About 1 hour total. Admission: Free. It’s a wild forest mountain, climb on your own. Opening hours: Open all day (daytime recommended, no streetlights). Suggested duration: 2–3 hours (hiking + sightseeing + photos). Best season: Spring and autumn are most comfortable. Use sun protection in summer. ⛰️What’s on Huajia Mountain? Strange stones, ancient trees, and legends—all on the summit 1. Stone formation—the most striking scenery on Huajia Mountain Tested in person: the summit is scattered with oddly shaped stones—some look like dragon heads, some like big drums, some like stone platforms cut by knives. The most famous is the “Dragon Mother Stone”: shaped like an old person squatting. Locals say it’s the dragon mother guarding the land. The stone surface is weathered with grooves and holes, rough and warm to the touch—that’s the heat from the sun all day. 2. Summit view—360° with no blind spots Tested in person: the summit is open with no trees blocking the view. You can see the towns of Liangqing District, the farmland of Datang Town, the winding Bachijiang River, and the faint city skyline in the distance. 3. Ancient tree—a resting spot halfway up Tested in person: on the way up, there’s an old banyan tree with a trunk so wide two people can hug it. Its shade spreads like a big umbrella, and many people rest under it. 4. The “Huajia” legend—the origin of the mountain’s name Locals tell a story: long ago, an old man lived here until he was 60 years old (the huajia year), attained immortality, and the mountain was named after that. Others say “Huajia” is a Zhuang language transliteration meaning “stone mountain.” Either way, it adds a layer of mystery to the mountain. 📜History and culture: even a wild mountain has its stories Huajia Mountain has always been considered a “spiritual” mountain by locals. The strange stones are linked to legends of the dragon mother and immortal elders. Though not recorded in history books, these stories have been passed down through generations. It’s not listed as a scenic spot or part of any tourist route, but precisely because of this, it still keeps the “original look a mountain should have.” 🙏Travel impressions I sat beside the Dragon Mother Stone as the wind blew through the cracks, making a low rumbling sound. The whole mountain was just me and the wind. No one else in sight. That feeling of “the whole mountain is mine alone” was truly comforting. At that moment, I realized the best thing about Huajia Mountain isn’t the strange stones—it’s that it still lets you have the luxury of “owning a mountain alone.” If you want to find a mountain near Nanning with stones, stories, and a quiet place to sit all afternoon—Huajia Mountain is worth the detour. 🚨Practical tips No stairs or railings. Wear slip-resistant hiking shoes. No shade at the summit. Use sun protection and bring enough water. Some sections have loose gravel. Watch your step. Recommended to hike with others. Don’t go deep alone. Take your trash with you. Keep the mountain clean. Navigation to “Huajia Mountain” works, but the last stretch is narrow. Find a spot to let cars pass in advance.

When people talk about the mountains and wilderness around Nanning, they usually only remember Daming Mountain and Liujingxiayigou, but few know about Damaling in Binyang, a hidden gem near the city🌿 Locals privately call it "Nanning’s little Altay." At 840 meters elevation, this mountain ridge features continuous windmill grasslands and wide-open wilderness views. On clear days, you can overlook Qingping Reservoir and the entire city of Binyang. When surrounded by sea clouds and mist, the atmosphere rivals the northern Xinjiang grasslands. It’s just a 1.5-hour drive from Nanning with no entrance fee. You can drive up, enjoy easy hiking, camp to watch the sunset, and enjoy cool mountain breezes in summer. Outdoor enthusiasts treasure this hidden spot—once you visit, you won’t want to squeeze into crowded popular attractions. Why is it called Nanning’s little Altay, and why is it worth a special trip? ✅ Alpine meadows + windmill ridge, recreating Altay’s wild scenery The ridge is gently sloping and open, covered with wild green grass. Hundreds of wind turbines line the mountains in a row, with rolling hills stretching into the distance. On sunny days, distant mountains are clear; on cloudy days, mist drifts over the mid-mountain slopes. Every photo looks like a northwest China wilderness scene. No need to travel far to Xinjiang—you can capture the same healing landscapes near Nanning. ✅ Natural summer retreat with cool, refreshing air In July and August, the city is unbearably hot, but the Damaling summit stays about 6℃ cooler year-round. Mountain breezes blow day and night, with a mix of shade and open slopes. You can hike in natural cool air during the day and wait for a sunset over an orange sea in the evening. No air conditioning needed, making it a rare high-altitude summer escape near Nanning. ✅ Highly flexible activities, suitable for beginners and experts You can drive directly to the viewing platform for an easy visit or take the ridge loop for a moderate, leg-friendly hike. There are open spaces for picnics, camping, and barbecues. Cycling, trail running, photography of sunrises and sea clouds, or a weekend getaway—all are possible. One vehicle can serve many purposes, offering great travel flexibility. ✅ Free entry with great value, pristine and undeveloped The entire mountain is open to the public for free. There is free parking at the village foot, no ticket booths, and no commercialized attractions. On the way down, stop in Binyang town for authentic local snacks, with meals costing just a few dozen yuan per person. You get a high-quality mountain getaway at a low cost. A few reminders: The last 4 kilometers are unpaved gravel roads. Sedans can pass slowly, but avoid going up in rainy weather due to slippery rocks. The summit is very windy, so bring a windbreaker. There is no fixed water source or restroom on the mountain, so bring drinking water and trash bags. Practice leave-no-trace principles. Some ridge edges are steep—be careful when taking photos. Must-visit key spots 🎡 Ma Wang wind farm ridge main line (core highlight) The soul of the entire mountain range, with dozens of giant wind turbines scattered across the peaks. Platforms 26 and 30 are recognized as the best spots. From the high ground, you can see layers of mountains, farmland, villages, and Qingping Reservoir with an endless view. At sunset, golden light covers the hills, and the windmill silhouettes create a perfect atmosphere. It’s also an excellent location for aerial photography. ☁️ Sea of clouds viewing platform If you’re lucky to visit after rain early in the morning, a vast sea of clouds appears in the valleys, with only mountain peaks and windmills visible, creating a fairyland scene. To see the sunrise and sea of clouds, you need to start very early. It’s best to go with others, as some mountain areas have weak cell signals. Download offline maps in advance. 🚶‍♀️ Ridge easy hiking loop Recommended 8-km leisure loop along the windmill road. The climb is gentle and the path smooth. You’ll pass through grasslands, pine forests, and rural paths, experiencing wild meadows up close and exploring lesser-known mountain corners. Stop to take photos along the way. It takes about half a day and is perfect for beginner hikers. 🏕️ Summit camping flat area There are several wide, flat spaces below the turbines where you can camp or picnic with your own gear. The downside is the turbines make slight noise, so it’s better for daytime picnics and barbecues rather than overnight camping. Relax here in the mountain breeze, far from city noise, with a strong sense of calm. Two main travel routes 1. Self-drive easy route (recommended) Navigation: Binyang Wanyao Village / Damaling Ma Wang wind farm Route: Depart Nanning → Nanbin first-class road → Binyang town → Wanyao Village to the mountain.

The light is best and temperature comfortable. 3. Vehicle advice: SUVs have better clearance. Sedans can go slowly but avoid rainy days. 4. Gear: Windbreaker, non-slip shoes, plenty of drinking water, sunscreen, insect repellent. 5. Avoid pitfalls: Don’t leave the main road to explore undeveloped wild areas. Take all trash with you to protect the natural environment. Final thoughts No need to travel far to Altay. This wild secret is hidden near Nanning🌿 Windmills, meadows, sea of clouds, and sunsets—all here. Few people, quiet, free, and pristine. Perfect for summer cooling, hiking, relaxing, and photo stops.

If you want to see waterfalls in Nanning, most people think of Detian. But Detian is on the southwest border, too far away—if you want a place that’s not too far, can be visited round-trip in one day, and where you can cool off in the water, then go to Jiulong Waterfalls National Forest Park. It’s in Hengzhou, less than two hours’ drive from downtown Nanning. From experience: the deepest impression after the visit isn’t any one spectacular waterfall, but that the sound of water is almost never-ending here. 📍Attraction info Location: Zhenlongshan, Hengzhou, Nanning, about 100 km from downtown Nanning. Transportation: best by car. Take G72 Quannan Expressway and exit at “Xiaoyi,” then take county road X470. About 2 hours total. Ticket price: about 30–40 CNY per person (small discount for online advance purchase). Opening hours: 8:00 AM–5:30 PM. Recommended duration: 2–3 hours (hiking + soaking in water). Best season: May–October, when water flow is abundant. 💦 What does Jiulong Waterfalls have? It’s not just “watching waterfalls,” it’s “walking in the sound of water” 1. Waterfall cluster—one every few steps Jiulong Waterfalls has no shortage of waterfalls. From the entrance to the deepest part of the park, there are at least ten waterfalls of various sizes. The largest “Jiulong Waterfall” drops dozens of meters, with mist spraying your face, cooler than air conditioning. 2. Water curtain cave experience—walk behind the waterfall Some waterfalls can be walked behind. From the side, you can go around to the back, where the water curtain falls from above. You can reach out and catch the icy water droplets. 3. Hiking—shaded the whole way, no sun exposure The trail mostly follows the stream. Most sections are shaded by trees, so it doesn’t feel hot even in summer. 4. Water contact area—take off your shoes and step in Some river sections are shallow and slow-flowing. Roll up your pants and step in. The riverbed is smooth pebbles, and the water feels refreshingly cool. 5. Bamboo raft drifting—see the waterfalls from a different angle The park offers bamboo raft rides. Drifting slowly on the water, you can see the waterfalls pouring down from the mountains from the middle of the river, a completely different perspective from the shore. 📜 History and culture: Guangxi’s “classic” waterfall cluster Jiulong Waterfalls National Forest Park is one of Guangxi’s earliest national forest parks. It’s part of the Zhenlong Mountain range, with streams flowing year-round. Locals call this stream “Jiulong Creek”—not because there were really nine dragons, but because there are so many waterfalls they can’t be counted, so they gave it a big name. 🙏 Travel impressions I stood for a while under the largest waterfall, mist drifting over and wetting my face. Nearby, a little girl held her dad’s hand and pointed at the water curtain, asking, “Can we walk through?” Her dad nodded. At that moment, I suddenly felt the best thing about Jiulong Waterfalls is that it lets you “walk behind the waterfall”—not just watch, but walk into it. If you’re in Nanning and want a place where you can truly step into the water, walk behind the waterfall, and cool your feet in the creek—come to Jiulong Waterfalls. The mountains aren’t high, the trip isn’t far, and the sound of water follows you all the way. When you get to Hengzhou, don’t just think about jasmine flowers—remember to go further into the mountains. The waterfalls are still waiting to drench you with refreshing mist. 🚨 Practical tips Wear non-slip shoes! Some sections near the water have moss on the rocks. If you want to walk behind the waterfall, it’s best to wear sandals or water shoes. Bring spare clothes; standing by the waterfall for a long time will get your clothes wet. Bring mosquito repellent. There are limited food and drink options in the park, so bring your own water and snacks. Avoid visiting on rainy days, as the stream water level may rise.

Even before the night’s dragon explosion moment, just being in the same frame with the majestic dragon head already fills you with a sense of abundant blessings. Together with my sisters, we beat the blessing drum, the thumping sound seems to send all our hopes for the new year far away. We ran into bare-chested dragon dance warriors; the light in their eyes is the folk belief engraved in their bones.

As the Year of the Horse Spring Festival approaches, the Binyang Fire Dragon Festival kicks off with great excitement! On the 10th and 11th days of the first lunar month, in Binyang County, a grand event perfectly showcasing the aesthetics of Chinese-style explosive art will start on time. Before the Fire Dragon Festival, in Binyang’s fire dragon workshops, craftsmen are busy assembling the fire dragons. They carefully build the dragon’s frame, paste the dragon skin, paint the dragon’s body, and weave the dragon pearls. Every step is filled with craftsmanship, as if infusing the fire dragon with a soul. When gold powder falls on the scales, a vivid fire dragon is born, ready to spring into action. Once the firecrackers ignite, it will soar and dance, driving away evil and bringing blessings to the people. Visitors here can personally experience the lively festive atmosphere, witness the breathtaking scenes of the fire dragon weaving through firecrackers, enjoy the unique charm of traditional folk customs, and gain abundant surprises and joy. Come to Binyang and join this lively Fire Dragon Festival to feel the shock of Chinese explosive aesthetics and create unforgettable holiday memories!
