#bicycletour #guangxi Guangxi Quyang Lake is located in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and is a picturesque artificial lake. The water source of Quyang Lake comes from the surrounding mountains and rivers. The lake water is crystal clear and surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. It is an ideal leisure and vacation destination. The scenery of Quyang Lake is breathtaking. The lake surface is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and the surrounding mountains. There are dense woods and green meadows by the lake, making people feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. Sometimes you can even see farmers dragging their cows past, which is a completely rural feel. There are many routes suitable for cycling enthusiasts around Quyang Lake. Here are some recommended routes: Lakeside Route: This route is about 20 kilometers long and circles the entire Quyang Lake. The road surface is flat and suitable for beginners and family tourists. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains along the way, and it is a very popular route. Forest Adventure Route: This route is about 15 kilometers long and passes through the forest area near the lake. The road surface is relatively rugged and suitable for cyclists who like challenges. You can see various wild animals and plants along the way, which is a good opportunity to get close to nature.

Bazhe Terraces are located in Bazhe Village, Renzhuang Township, 8 kilometers from the township government, 35 kilometers from the county seat, and 8 kilometers from the China-Vietnam border. The terraces cover over 1,000 acres and stretch for several kilometers, offering different views from various angles. Although there is a ticket office at the entrance of the Bazhe Terraces scenic area, it is clearly not in operation, and there are no staff around, so you can enter without paying. We suspect that it is no longer maintained, especially when you find one of the walking paths covered in weeds halfway through. We abandoned the idea of forging ahead and decided to stick to the road. Perhaps it was a fortunate mistake, as walking along the road allowed us to take in a panoramic view of the terraces. Along the way, there were not many tourists, and the serene environment highlighted the vast and magnificent terrace scenery, making it exceptionally beautiful. Due to the recent rain, entering the terrace area felt like stepping in mud. If you don't want to dirty your shoes, you can wear shoe covers or shoes that are easy to clean. Compared to the famous Longsheng Terraces in Guilin or the Yuanyang Terraces in Yunnan, the unique feature of Bazhe Terraces is the karst terrain in the distance. Cone-shaped hills stand in the background, adding layers of misty depth to the stepped terraces. 📍Address: Bazhe Village, Renzhuang Township, Jingxi City, Baise City

If you plan to tour around Quyang Lake, it takes about four hours by bicycle, so hiking is not recommended. Visitors who prefer self-driving or renting a car can drive around the lake, but be cautious as the roads are quite narrow. Alternatively, visitors can choose to take a sightseeing boat tour, which takes about two hours. We arrived at Quyang Lake at 3 PM and chose to cycle around the lake. The bike rental fee is $30 for 2 hours, and $10 for each additional hour, with the latest return time at 6 PM. Quyang Lake is surrounded by rolling hills of varying heights, offering picturesque scenery along the way. You can capture beautiful photos from different angles, just like a landscape painting. Along the way, you can see many villagers herding livestock, some grazing cattle, and others herding ducks, enjoying a leisurely life. The best spot to watch the sunset at Quyang Lake is near the dam at the entrance. We managed to return the bikes to the visitor center by 6 PM and waited at the dam for the sunset. Although the clouds obscured most of the sun that day, rays of sunlight still pierced through the clouds, creating a stunning 'Jesus light' effect.

Until I got to the entrance I felt that this place was very shabby and didn't look like an AAAA-rated scenic spot at all, but once inside the park it was a completely different scene, and I can tell you that it is definitely worth entering. Along the way, you will first pass a large grassland, and then tourists can choose their own tour route. We set out on a journey across the lake made only of lotus leaf-shaped pillars, and were able to take photos of ducks and water wheels along the way. Then we arrived at a place where you must take photos, the stone tablet of the Goose Spring. First, you have to walk to the stone tablet, and then find your companion to take photos for you from the opposite side. Then your photos can capture the natural blue spring water. When others see them, they will think that they must have been post-processed, but we can definitely tell you that these are authentic photos that have not been retouched. At this time, a fork in the road appeared on the map, and both roads led to different observation decks. We first headed to the observation deck on the left, where we could see the side view of the entire Goose Spring. Although the rain was getting heavier, it did not extinguish our desire to take pictures of the beautiful scenery. We walked to the viewing platform in the middle in the rain. As expected, we could see the entire Goose Spring from the front. Against the backdrop of raindrops, it was particularly magnificent. There are not many people in the scenic area, so it is very convenient to take pictures and you can easily capture the beautiful scenery. #lakes #100 ways to travel

China and Vietnam share a long border, however the most spectacular part of this must be the Detian Waterfalls in China's Guangxi Province. Around a 3 hours drive eastwards of Nanning, or alternatively south from Baise, it is reached by private car or public bus. To drive here, you can rent a car and drive yourself as the roads are in good condition and not difficult to navigate, or you can hire a driver. For the bus, you can depart from Nanning bus station, although this option is slower. Remember to bring ID or passports for buying tickets and for the frontier border check-even though you're not leaving a country, all vehicles are still inspected. When you arrive, you board the sightseeing bus up the mountain, straddling the river that seperates the two countries, finally arriving at the top and the waterfall scenic area. You walk in a circular direction around the waterfall from the east side, offering spectacular close-up views of the whole valley. There are many observation points for photos or videos here. There are places to buy souvenirs and also vietnamese snacks. Be sure to try the cliff walk, glass bridge and the slide down the mountain for 59¥! Best time to visit here has to be mid-afternoon, so that you get both daytime and the evening sunset over the mountains range and waterfalls. A must-visit attraction in Guangxi and I highly recommend it to anyone. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #2023travelwish

Arrive here by private car before or after visiting Goose Spring, a 15-mimute drive away. Jiuzhou is located close to the China-Vietnam border region and therefore is a mixture of both cultures., especially the architectural style of some of the buildings here. Taking a relaxed stroll through the small lanes, you can witness local life and culture, from the distinct language dialect, through the the handicrafts that can be bought here. There are several pretty temples and pavilions inside that are framed with the backdrop of the surrounding hills and small lakes. This is a relatively quiet and peaceful place...but also a welcome stop on a journey to this region. #tripblazers #2023travelwish #guangxi

Located around 2 hours drive south of Baise, China's Guangxi province, you will come to one of the most stunning places to visit in a China itself. This is the mountains that run along the China-Vietnam border region and there you will find Goose Spring, hidden away in it's secluded and picturesque wonderland. Only accessible by private car...once you arrive, a short boat ride up to small river is a good way to begin the visit. This is the opportunity to see the local people and take in the unbelievable scenery that now surrounds you on all sides. Then take a walk past the gardens, pools and water wheels and take a leisurely climb up to the viewing platform overlooking the valley below. Here you can take an unforgettable panorama or the scene in front of you. Climb even higher for a walk along the side of the mountain trail. Any time of year is perfect to come here...even in the winter, the fog provides a mysterious backdrop to the mountains! #2023travelwish #tripblazers #guangxi

Yesterday on our way to Baise, Jingxi from Nanning, at half way, we stopped by the “Goose Spring”. 🦆 This place is highly recommended ✅, is a beautiful valley within the mountains ⛰️ that is combined with the green 🌳of the nature and yellow of the rice fields 🌾together with a gorgeous pound 💧, making this a very peaceful ☮️ and relaxing 🧘‍♀️🧘 spot 🏞️ To get there probably the best is to rent a car 🚗 or hired a driver, but we also saw some local buses 🚌 , that could bring you there from Nanning city. The ticket fee is around 40 rmb per person and there are not much option for food, so better to bring your own. #summervacation #goldenweek #naturewonders #mytripvlog

Getting There - The place is not of easy access, we hired a driver🚗 and came from Nanning by car, it took around 4 hours but including a stop or around 2 hours in another destination where we had the chance to see the spring goose and rice fields. Attractions - just take a boat ⛵️and enjoy a ride of a little over or one hour around the lake surround by beautiful mountains everywhere. The best part is that seems to not be very well know yet, therefore we were the only ones in the boat, it felt like a private tour only for us ! 😎 Hotels - we did not stay here, but seems there are some hotels in the lake, anyway I would recommend to go and sleep somewhere else, probably the driver can suggest some good option. Food & Restaurants - there are not many options so the best is to bring your own or eat before/after the visit. #summervacation #naturewonders #naturelover #lakes
