Things to do in Binyang

Why do some people always say that the original name is Luxu Ancient Town! The original name is Binzhou, and now it has just been changed back to its original name! Paolong also came out of Nanjie and Sanlian Street. If you insist on saying it is Luxu Paolong, my grandparents have been from Nanjie for generations. It was once the most prosperous place in Binyang County.

It's quite nice to stroll around here on a weekday during the off-season, although the plants aren't as green. The park is very large; it would probably take a whole day to see everything. I bought a 5 yuan sightseeing bus ticket and took a 20-minute ride around the north gate, which was pretty good.

83 years ago, 14,000 Chinese heroes died in Kunlun Pass to fight against the Japanese invaders. The Battle of Kunlun Pass is recorded in history. Although the smoke of the past has dissipated, the descendants remember the heroes year after year! Kunlun Pass is located at the junction of Binyang County, Nanning City, Guangxi and Kunlun Town, Nanning City, 50 kilometers away from Nanning City, the capital of Guangxi. It is said that Kunlun Pass in Binyang was built by Ma Yuan, the general of Fu Bo in the Han Dynasty, and has a history of more than a thousand years. Kunlun Pass in Nanning is the gateway and barrier of Nanning City. It has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can be said that "one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it". It is valued by military strategists of all dynasties and is a place that must be fought for by military strategists. According to historical records, there have been several large-scale battles at Kunlun Pass in Binyang. Among them, the most famous are the battle between Song Diqing and Nong Zhigao and the Sino-Japanese Battle of Kunlun Pass in 1939. The three characters "Kunlun Pass" are engraved on the gate, and it is known as the "natural barrier in the south". On December 18, 1939, China and Japan fought a great battle here. Both sides were led by troops that were good at fighting tough battles: the main force of the Japanese side was the former troops of Sakagami who participated in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and the Fifth Division, which was known as the "Steel Army"; the main force of the Chinese side was the Fifth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which was the best equipped at the time and led by General Du Yuming. With the support of the local people, the Chinese army fought bloody battles for more than ten days and finally recovered Kunlun Pass in Binyang. This was another major victory after the victory of Pingxingguan and Taierzhuang during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. After the war, people built a three-door and four-column stone archway at the foot of the mountain, and a cemetery, memorial tower, and pavilion for anti-Japanese martyrs were also built on the top of the mountain. There is a 331-step stone stairway from the archway to the top of the mountain. Chiang Kai-shek and other Kuomintang military and political leaders wrote inscriptions, couplets, or inscribed inscriptions to commemorate this battle. Every year around the Qingming Festival, many students and people come here to pay tribute, admire, and sweep the tombs.

Detian Waterfall truly lives up to its reputation as the most beautiful southernmost point in Vietnam. The waterfall cascades under the sun, and the scenery is breathtaking. You can also enjoy a wide variety of Vietnamese delicacies. The transportation is also very convenient, so it's definitely worth a visit.

I recommend finding a hotel with a nice environment and view to relax in. Because once you leave the hotel, you're basically in the village. Good views are either found near hotels, cafes, or bookstores.

When visiting Guilin, a must-see is Elephant Trunk Hill, the city's iconic landmark. It truly lives up to its reputation as the face of Guilin's landscape; only by seeing it in person can one truly appreciate the wonders of nature. The entire mountain sits on the banks of the Li River, resembling a giant elephant bowing to drink from the water. The Water Moon Cave cuts through the mountain, its reflection shimmering in the water, creating the famous Elephant Trunk Hill and Water Moon spectacle—a flowing ink painting. The scenic area is clean and comfortable, with walking paths built along the Li River, shaded by lush trees, making for a delightful stroll. You can climb the mountain for panoramic views of Guilin, or find classic vantage points along the riverbank to capture stunning, atmospheric photos. Boat trips are also available, offering a different and breathtaking perspective of Elephant Trunk Hill from the river. The scenic area is conveniently located in the city center, with excellent transportation and comprehensive facilities. Every step reveals a new vista, allowing you to truly experience the unparalleled beauty of Guilin's landscape. Don't miss it when traveling to Guilin; it's definitely worth a visit.

This was my first time visiting Nanning Botanical Garden & Qingxiu Mountain. It was indeed very large, very green, and very comfortable. I walked around for more than four hours without feeling tired. I didn't take the shuttle bus out until I got hungry at 4 pm. It's a great place worth visiting many times. Northerners love it.

Choosing to enter and exit from the East Gate offers a high-value option, allowing you to visit attractions along the way such as the Xiaoqikong Ancient Bridge, Laya Waterfall, Cuigu Waterfall, Yuanyang Lake, and Wolongtan. On a sunny day, each scenic spot is perfect for taking photos, giving you the feeling of "walking in a painting." It truly deserves to be called "the emerald on the Earth's belt."

It had a great Halloween atmosphere, but there weren't many things to do. I only found out when I got there that buying tickets a day in advance would have saved me 30 yuan... The performance was okay, they were very energetic, but there was no storyline. It's good for kids to watch for fun.
