For it, I gave up Guilin because this place smells so good

Babes👋 Listen up! Stop crowding into Guilin, Chongzuo in Guangxi is the truly underrated hidden gem for travel! I just went there and was completely captivated, can't wait to share this super detailed guide with you all📝 🏞 Recommended Attractions 1. Detian Transnational Waterfall: Asia's largest and the world's fourth largest transnational waterfall, spanning China and Vietnam. Standing at the foot of the waterfall, you feel the mighty mist hitting your face—it's so stunning it leaves you speechless! Best to visit in the morning for great lighting and amazing photos. You can also take a bamboo raft🚢 to get up close to the waterfall for a full experience! 2. Mingshi Pastoral: The filming location of "The Journey of Flower," a real-life paradise. Here, mountains and waters coexist, and the karst peaks are scattered around. Riding a bamboo raft downstream feels like stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting. Be sure to rent a bike🚲 to ride along the rice fields, with the breeze on your face—so relaxing~ 3. Dragon Palace Wonderland: Nature’s masterpiece is fully displayed here. The stalactites inside the cave come in various shapes, and under the lighting, it looks like a dreamy fairyland. Touring here feels like being inside the Dragon Palace—mysterious and breathtaking! 4. Taiping Ancient Town: When night falls and the lights come on, the ancient town instantly transforms into a "Little Chang’an." The buildings are quaint and historic, the snack street bustling with life. Stroll and eat to soak up the lively local atmosphere. 🍜 Food Guide 1. Zhuang-style Roasted Suckling Pig: Crispy skin and tender meat, one bite and the fat bursts in your mouth, but it’s not greasy at all! Slow-roasted over charcoal, the aroma can drift for two miles—who can resist! 2. Longzhou Chicken Rice Noodles: A local specialty rice noodle dish with rich and sweet chicken broth, tender chicken, slurp the noodles and sip the soup—pure happiness! Remember to add a spoonful of pickled bamboo shoots and chili🌶 for extra flavor! 3. Rolled Rice Noodles: Thin rice sheets wrapped around generous fillings, topped with special sauce, one bite is super satisfying! There are many filling options; my favorite is corn and pork~ 4. Suanye (Sour Snacks): The soul snack of Guangxi, various fruits cut into small pieces and marinated with sour plum powder or chili salt. Sour, sweet, and spicy with rich flavors—you won’t be able to stop eating! 🚗 Transportation Guide 1. Airplane: You can fly to Nanning Wuxu International Airport first, then transfer by car or high-speed train to Chongzuo. It’s very convenient from Nanning to Chongzuo, about a 2-hour drive. 2. High-speed Train: Some cities have direct high-speed trains to Chongzuo. Check the schedule and go directly—fast and comfortable. 3. Self-driving: If you like freedom, driving yourself is a great option, and you can enjoy the karst landscape of Guangxi along the way. 📅 Itinerary Day 1: Arrive in Chongzuo → Taiping Ancient Town (stroll, eat, enjoy the night view) Day 2: Detian Transnational Waterfall → Mingshi Pastoral (see the waterfall, tour the countryside, experience the beauty of mountains and waters) Day 3: Dragon Palace Wonderland → Return trip (explore the caves, end a pleasant journey) 💡 Practical Tips 1. Book attraction tickets and hotels online in advance to save money and time. 2. Prepare sun protection and mosquito repellent; Guangxi’s sun and mosquitoes are very enthusiastic. 3. When tasting local food, choose restaurants with good hygiene to avoid stomach issues. Babes, Chongzuo is really great for sightseeing and eating, hurry up and plan a spontaneous trip💕
