This is not a foreign land; this earthly paradise is right in Guangxi

🌟 Attraction Introduction: Fengshan Sanmenhai, located in Fengshan County, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is a rare natural wonder consisting of a karst landform cave group and an underground river. The most captivating feature here is the world's unique string of skylights—a group of seven naturally formed gigantic skylights embedded like pearls among the green mountains and waters, creating a mysterious 'water market'. Sailing through the caves, the reflection of the skylights on the water surface seems to transport you to another fantastical world. Moreover, the underground river water in Sanmenhai is crystal clear, and the stalactites and stone mantles on both banks are of various shapes, making it an awe-inspiring sight. 📅 Itinerary: DAY1: • Morning: Arrive in Fengshan County, take a car to Sanmenhai scenic area, and first tour the peripheral landscape of mountains and fields; • Noon: Taste authentic Yao ethnic dishes at a farmhouse restaurant within the scenic area; • Afternoon: Take a boat into the Sanmenhai cave group, visit each skylight one by one, and enjoy the visual feast of changing lights and shadows inside the caves; • Evening: Return to Fengshan County or choose to stay at a homestay near the scenic area to experience the tranquil rural night.
