2025 Mashan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#外游 It is said that Guangxi Mashan black goats are a high-quality goat breed that has been carefully cultivated in Guangxi over many years. They have tender and delicious meat, sweet and delicious. They are well-known in the mainland, and Mashan has become the "Hometown of Chinese Black Goats". The black goat banquet, including mutton soup, braised lamb legs, roasted lamb racks, and fried lamb offal, tastes good. Don’t miss it next time you come to Guangxi. #Travel in the Mainland

#OceanView Gapo Coastal Park in Masan is a park worth taking a walk in! There is also a cafe here, and you can see the beautiful ocean from afar while looking at Machang Bridge. It is said to be healing. I want to show you how pretty Masan is, and I fell in love with the area near Machang Bridge because it is the prettiest. Later, when summer comes, you can have a picnic and there are many buskers, so let's go check it out! #UniqueAccommodation #HotPlace

#OceanView Gwisandong is really something you can't help but admit! Here, you can have plenty of fun with food carts, restaurants, and cafes! It's healing to see the scenery of Machang Bridge in Masan! Masan is also close to the ocean, so you can eat delicious food while looking at the ocean. Isn't it a perfect combination? You have to go! #HotPlace

#HotPlace A newly constructed park has appeared in Masan! Many people come here and it's a good place to take a walk! The lighting is pretty even at night and you can take really pretty profile pictures. I definitely have to come here later and it would be nice to take a walk with friends or a lover. You can also have a picnic and ride a bike... How romantic! You definitely have to come here!

If you go to Masan, there are many grilled oyster stalls along the beach!! The food is delicious, but I liked the strong ocean vibe!! And there are cafes and tourist attractions within a reasonable distance by car, so it's great for family or couple trips ❤️ #Masan #MasanTravel #WinterTravelDestination #HotCafe #EatKitList #Cafe

After living in the city for a long time, it's inevitable that you'll find the reinforced concrete to be a bit cold. I wanted to live in nature for a few days, so I chose the Longwan Shanyu Homestay in the Xuanhe Longwan Resort. During the day and night, there are no other sounds besides birdsong and insects chirping. It's especially suitable for meditation! I stayed in a family room, a two-story loft structure. Upstairs, there are two suites, each with two 1.8m beds. The space is very large, and they don't affect each other. The bathroom has a smart toilet installed, so your butt won't freeze in the winter. There's also automatic flushing, butt washing, and automatic drying, which is very modern. Now that it's almost May, you don't even need to turn on the air conditioner. It's very cool.

🏨 Address: Shuijin Village, Guling Town, Mashan County, Nanning City, Guangxi (within Shuijin Shunzhuang Grand Canyon Tourist Area) 🌆 Style: The manor features traditional Chinese Huizhou architecture with white walls and black tiles, complemented by European-style doors and windows, perfectly blending two different architectural styles.

🌟Highlights: 1. A Splendor Rivaling the Potala Palace: Known as Guangxi's "Little Potala Palace," this site is famous for its flourishing incense offerings. The magnificent Diamond Sutra cliff carvings within the scenic area are a major highlight, imbued with a mystical religious atmosphere. 2. International Race Track: As the finish line of the Tour of Guangxi cycling race, this location boasts a picturesque and stunning race track—a must-see for cycling enthusiasts. 3. The Mysterious Breakup Legend: Nongla, China, is also known as a legendary "breakup spot." It is said that if a couple is not meant to be, they will eventually part ways here; but if they are destined, their love will be as solid as a rock. Because of this, many couples come here with a mix of trepidation and anticipation, just to test whether they are truly meant for each other. 💰Ticket and Expense Information: - Tickets: Free entry to the park. Enjoy the fusion of nature and cultural landscapes. - Incense: Small incense CNY 10/bundle, large incense CNY 20/bundle. Offer your sincere prayers to the deities. - Prayer Ribbons: CNY 10/ribbon.

Parking at the scenic area is CNY 20. 📌Tips for Visiting: 1. Visit Duration: We recommend allocating 2–3 hrs. Start with a visit to the temple for prayers and experience inner peace (approx. 1 hr), then explore other attractions at your leisure. 2. Abundant Attractions: Explore a variety of attractions, including the suspension bridge, the cloud viewing platform, the cliff swing, and the karst exhibition hall. Each spot offers a unique experience. 3. Incense Purchase: If you need to purchase a large quantity of incense, you can buy it at the foot of the mountain for a better price and even try to bargain.

I went there this October. It takes just over an hour to get there from Nanning, so you can also go there for a day trip on the weekend. The villagers are well-organized. They arrange for villagers to guard the meeting point and are equipped with walkie-talkies to arrange for vehicles to enter and exit, so there is no traffic jam. The management is quite good. There are sheds by the stream that you can rent for CNY 30, which includes a table and six chairs. If you want a good spot, you should book early. You can also set up a canopy and have a picnic or camp on the stream, in the water, or on the lawn. Please pay attention to environmental hygiene. Ganguadong Cave is made up of many small pools with different heights and depths. Some of the pools are quite deep, and many people dive there. If you are taking children, it is better to play on the side. The water was a bit cold when I went there in October, but it was fine to play in the sun. It might be more fun to go there in July or August when the water is higher. Although the stones there have moss, they are not slippery. It is best to wear shoes, as the stones are uncomfortable to walk on. There is a cave in the middle of the mountain. You can also play in the water after passing through the cave, but there are fewer people there. The surrounding area is full of green trees, and the scenery is beautiful. Adults can sit on the lawn and watch the children play in the water. Ganguadong Cave

An extremely ideal parent-child water fun paradise—Shuijin Shunzhuang Grand Canyon Tourist Area, awaits your exploration with your family.

Children can play freely in the clear water, feeling close to and embraced by nature, while you can leisurely watch from the side or join in, sharing this rare parent-child joy.

Driving from Guigang National Highway to Dahua, passing through Mashan County in Nanning City, looking out from the car, you can see a majestic building complex embedded in the steep mountainside by the roadside from a distance. It shines brightly under the sunlight, making it particularly eye-catching. So, I parked the car and went to take a look. Only when I got closer did I realize that this building, built on the cliff halfway up the mountain, was the magnificent Lingyang Temple. On the cliff, the two large characters 'Buddha Heart' are vigorous and powerful. Lingyang Temple is different from other temples. Apart from being built on the steep cliff halfway up the mountain, the most attractive feature is that it is a large-scale lava cave temple. The main hall of the temple is set in a cave on Qiandeng Mountain, which is said to be the largest lava cave temple in Guangxi.
