Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
Walking on the edge of the knife | Jianlong Mountain
🅿️ Tiandeng Ninggan County-Jianlong Mountain
✅ It takes 3 hours from Nanning to Ninggan Village, Tiandeng County, and about 2 kilometers further in, there will be a sign for Jianlong Mountain at the intersection. There is a P parking lot at the foot of the mountain, and there are villagers to guide the way!
The whole journey of Jianlong Mountain is about 7 kilometers. Because Jianlong Mountain is a wild mountain that has not been fully developed, the slope is very high at the beginning of the mountain, and those with acrophobia and unstable center of gravity should be careful. The whole journey requires gloves, and you need to climb up with your hands and feet. You need to be very careful when going up and down the slope. Walking along the ridge, there are cliffs on both sides. However, for me, it is not difficult to go up the mountain, the most difficult thing is to go down the mountain,! The first half has been downhill, bring gloves and slowly climb down the grass, the second half is all high shrubs, for my walking route, the way down the mountain passes through the Fuman Reservoir, the scenery is very good!
✅ Required equipment: hat, sunscreen mask (you will eat a lot of dust when climbing), long clothes and trousers (try to prepare a set of clothes, the clothes are soaked in sweat all the way down in hot weather), climbing shoes (essential), gloves, climbing sticks (can effectively reduce the pressure on the knee in the second half of the downhill)
Food: 3-4 bottles of water, dry food (actually there is no appetite to eat in hot weather), fruit (you can eat some to replenish water when resting)
Although climbing is very tiring, the process is very happy and immersed in it! Where the body can go, you have to see it with your own eyes!
Finally, of course, take beautiful photos! Record a beautiful life
Having visited Wugong Mountain, I found it beautiful, but I never imagined that the trip to Guangxi would be even more splendid
Having visited Wugong Mountain, I found it beautiful, but I never imagined that the trip to Guangxi would be even more splendid...
Ah, I really don't want to wait until summer to go to Wugong Mountain.
Therefore, I specially flew to the romantic Guangxi. Unexpectedly, I found green mountains in Guangxi that I could climb, making the trip truly worthwhile.
Even flying 1000 kilometers and driving for three hours is worth it, and I was super lucky to witness a stunning sunrise. I was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery of Guangxi.
📍Address: Chongzuo, Guangxi—Jianlong Mountain
You can directly navigate to 'Jianlong Mountain Parking Lot' by self-driving, which takes about 3 hours from Nanning to the foot of the mountain. No entrance ticket is required, and the parking fee at the foot of the mountain is 20 yuan per car.
There are signposts at the parking lot, and it takes about half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. The scenic area is vast, with many peaks to choose from for a circular hike, or you can retreat to the parking lot halfway down the stairs on the left after reaching the summit.
◾tips
❶If time permits, it is recommended to avoid weekends for a visit. I went early on a Monday morning and didn't meet a single person.
❷Regarding the rumors of the mountain closure circulating online, they are not true. The scenic area is open as usual.
Jianlong Mountain, I won't come again
Jianlong Mountain, I won't come again.
This hike was the steepest mountain I've ever climbed, almost crawling on hands and knees, with the slope being a sheer 70 to 80 degrees, it felt more like rock climbing than hiking. Below are two routes I've organized for reference only.
Route 1: Navigate to Lighthouse Village and park in front of the Lighthouse Cultural Room, where you'll see many small colorful flags hanging. Just follow them up the mountain. This route is quite steep, so if you're a beginner, proceed with caution, or consider taking the easier Route 2.
Route 2: Navigate to Lighthouse Village, pass the Lighthouse Cultural Room and drive a few hundred meters further until you see the slope at Huan Tun, where there's also a small parking lot. After parking, follow the many blue trail signs up the mountain. It's very convenient, and importantly, this path is much easier to walk, which is perfect for beginners like me.
Thumbs up to the village committee, Jianlong Mountain has become so popular recently but the parking lot hasn't been fenced off to charge money, parking is completely free, and the villagers have opened several trails, making it more suitable for hiking.
Ps: The light at the summit was so good that the photos were almost taken blindly, and when I got back, there were only a few usable ones.
Jianlong Mountain in Guangxi
Once again, the people of Guangxi are amazed by the karst landscape - Jianlong Mountain is truly stunning.
Ever since I learned about the existence of outdoor clubs like Wild Donkey Trails,
I've visited places like Baise Longyang, Mashan Xuanhe, and Wangzhou Peak.
Each time, I can't help but express the same sentiment:
It's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.

Self-Guided Tour in Eastern Yunnan and Guangxi (5) / The Detian Waterfall, the largest in Asia and the fourth largest transnational waterfall in the world
📍 Following the most beautiful Hena Expressway, you will reach Detian Village, Shuolong Town, Daxin County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi, where the Detian Transnational Waterfall is located—the largest in Asia and the fourth largest in the world.
📍 The waterfall is situated upstream of the Guichun River at the border with Vietnam, and is majestic and powerful, connected to the nearby Ban Gioc Waterfall in Vietnam. Its average annual water flow is about three times that of the Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou. In 2018, it was rated as a national 5A scenic area.
📍 In the scenic area, you can admire the magical waterfall in various ways, such as from a distance, up close, from above, below, or on a bamboo raft magic carpet. It is best to allow half a day for a leisurely walk, a climb to get a view of Vietnam. The ticket includes a scenic shuttle bus. Ticket prices are subject to seasonal adjustments.

➡️🔛Chongzuo is so beautiful and worthwhile!! The water is green, the mountains are beautiful, and the place is gentle!! Every step is a postcard;

✨The waterfall is very dependent on the weather, it will be very beautiful if the weather is good;
🍀There are not many tourists in Chongzuo, it is very comfortable, the pace of life is very slow, it is really suitable to go if you want to avoid the world

Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
Detian Transnational Waterfall
The Detian Waterfall is located in Detian Village, Shuolong Town, Daxin County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi, on the upstream of the Guichun River at the border between China and Vietnam. It is connected to the nearby Ban Gioc Waterfall in Vietnam and is the largest transnational waterfall in Asia and the fourth largest in the world. It is a Chinese national AAAAA tourist attraction. March is not the time when the Detian Waterfall has abundant water, but it is still awe-inspiring!
Shuolong and Vietnam are only separated by the Guichun River.
No wonder it's the location choice for 'The Journey of Flower', so beautiful! So stunning!
First stop: The awe of nature
The imminent sound of the waterfall seems to be calling for the brave explorers. Standing in front of the Detian transnational waterfall, I was deeply moved by this spectacular natural wonder. The water flows like thousands of horses galloping down, and the mist raised refracts rainbows in the sunlight, so unreal in its beauty.
Second stop: The romance of crossing nations
One step across two countries, I left my footprints at the border of Vietnam and Guangxi. Here, the boundary line becomes blurred, with only the endless beauty and rich cultural atmosphere. I communicated with the local children with smiles, feeling the warmth of different nations.
Third stop: The holy land for photo check-ins
Every corner is an excellent background for photos. I put on my brightest dress and took pictures with the waterfall, capturing this unforgettable experience. Each photo shines with the light of youth, making one eager to share them on social media, reaping loads of likes and envy.
The Detian transnational waterfall is not just a simple trip; it is a spiritual cleansing, a courage to challenge oneself. Here, I found inner peace and also ignited a passion for exploring the unknown. If you also long for a trip that you can just set off on, then start from Detian!
Forever moved by the landscapes of Guangxi!!!
Forever moved by the landscapes of Guangxi!!! On a spontaneous trip, I came to Chongzuo, this small border city. After arriving by high-speed train, I was immediately amazed by the city. It boasts ink-painting-like countryside, mountains all around, cascading waterfalls and springs, and the cost of living is very low.
This city fulfills all the fantasies of 'choosing a city to grow old in.' In such beautiful landscapes, time seems to stop flowing, and there is nothing that the landscapes of Chongzuo can't cure; if once isn't enough, then come twice! Next, follow my route and start your Chongzuo journey!
🛻 Chongzuo 3 Days 2 Nights Self-Drive Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Rent a car from Chongzuo South Station and head to Detian Transnational Waterfall Group, then go to Mingshi Countryside (watch the sunset here, accommodation prices are about 200-300 yuan).
Day 2: First visit Mingshi Countryside, then go to Gulong Canyon, Sandiequan Waterfall, Tongling Grand Canyon, Aibu Waterfall, and finally arrive at E'quan (watch the sunset here, accommodation prices are about 100-200 yuan).
Day 3: Depart from E'quan, head to Jiuzhou Ancient Town, and then to Longyang Tiankeng (if time permits, you can also visit Jianlong Mountain, which is on the way to Longyang Tiankeng), and finally return to Chongzuo South Station (if there is a relevant high-speed train, you can leave on the same day, if not, you can leave the next morning, accommodation prices are about 100-200 yuan).
⚠️ Sincerely recommend the following places worth visiting 📷
1️⃣ Detian Transnational Waterfall: Take a bamboo raft and drift under the waterfall, feeling the first healing that Chongzuo brings to you. It is famous at home and abroad for its unique beauty of mountains and rivers. ⚠️ The rainy season starts around June, and if you go now, water will be released upstream from 12-14 o'clock, and the flow is smaller at other times.
2️⃣ Mingshi Countryside: This place gave me a new understanding of the phrase 'Not accustomed to the mundane world, naturally loving the hills and mountains.' Drifting on a bamboo raft under the sunset with the sky and clouds, the distant mountains under the karst topography are like ink, like a scroll of landscape paintings.
3️⃣ E'quan: The water here is crystal clear, reaching the state of 'seemingly swimming in emptiness without reliance.' The fried fish here is both cheap and delicious, and a bamboo raft trip around costs only 10 yuan per person.
4️⃣ Longyang Tiankeng: Near Chongzuo in Baise Pingguo, there hides a place like a Zelda in the real world. 'The wind blows low and reveals the cattle and sheep' is vividly presented here, and the round trip hike takes about 3 hours, remember to bring a walking stick and water, and take sun protection measures.
5️⃣ Jiuzhou Ancient Town: Known as the 'Town of Hydrangea,' it is largely uncommercialized. Taking photos on the bridge is very photogenic, and you can enter for free after 6 pm.
6️⃣ Waterfall Canyon Group: Gulong Canyon, Tongling Grand Canyon, Aibu Waterfall, and Sandiequan Waterfall each have their own characteristics. Among them, Gulong Canyon offers rafting, Tongling Grand Canyon offers rainforest hiking, Aibu Waterfall and Sandiequan Waterfall are free, and the aerial photography effect is better during the rainy season.

The Ultimate Tour Guide to Mingshi Countryside
🌼【Mingshi Countryside】
1) Mingshi Countryside is a scenic area, with hotels divided into Mingshi Villa, Mingshi Courtyard, and Mingshi Elegant Residence (free boat ride once a day in the scenic area, breakfast and dinner included? Bicycles are free, free beer), which are guest houses, four-star hotels, and boutique hotels respectively.
Personally, I don't recommend staying here, mainly because the prices are quite high, but if money is not an issue, feel free to choose~
🌼2) Ways to explore Mingshi Countryside (I rented an electric bike)
🔵1. Bamboo Raft
The whole bamboo raft journey takes 40 minutes, costs 120 yuan, and because the exit of the bamboo raft is in the Zhuang Ethnic Museum, it also includes the museum ticket (80 yuan if bought separately). The bamboo raft mainly sails in the river, many places are not accessible, many views are not visible, so I don't recommend spending this unnecessary money.
🔵2. Bicycle/Electric Bike
There are bicycle/electric bike rentals along the road. The scenic area has built a bicycle lane, you can ride without a ticket. The road condition is good with no slopes, you can go deep into the countryside, and have a complete experience. You can enter from the entrance near Longtou Mountain Viewing Platform, cross a bridge in the middle. The price is about 10 yuan/hour for a bicycle, 10 yuan/hour or 20 yuan/hour for an electric bike, depending on the model.
🔵3. Randomly Find a Tuk-tuk on the Road
Most of the tricycles parked on the side of the road are tuk-tuks soliciting business. They can go on the bicycle lane, saving time and effort, and you can have a complete experience. Basically, you can play from near Longtou Mountain Viewing Platform to the Happiness Bridge (100 meters in front of the Secret Hotel).
🌼3) Mingshi Countryside has two large parking lots, which are the upper and lower points of the bamboo raft. For the upper point, navigate to 'Mingshi Countryside Scenic Area West Parking Lot' or 'Bamboo Raft Tourist Boarding Dock'. For the lower point, navigate to 'Zhuang Ethnic Museum'. However, there is also a shuttle bus between the two points.
