Mount Heng (Nanyue) is best reached by those who prefer a leisurely pace. The bus ride to Nantianmen takes 45 minutes, where a sedan chair is available for 300 yuan (a price clearly stated by the scenic area). Hiking to the summit takes about an hour. There are many temples within the scenic area; you can pay respects to Buddha, Bodhisattvas, and the Great Emperor of Nanyue. The temples are all on the mainland and not difficult to access, making it suitable for families with children and parents.

Hidden in the southern mountains, this hidden gem is absolutely stunning!

The Hobbit-style cottages exude a fairytale charm, while the adorable deer in the petting zoo are gentle and friendly. A stroll through the meadow yields countless beautiful photos. With an average summer temperature of 20°C, it's pleasantly cool. Camping at night offers the chance to encounter a sky full of stars, providing unparalleled tranquility away from the city's hustle and bustle.

Gaoyiling, a place whose true beauty speaks for itself! I dare say, once you've seen it, the magnificent panorama of red cliffs, emerald waters, and crimson clouds will undoubtedly become the most stunning cover image in your phone's photo album. This isn't the gentle water towns of Jiangnan, but a wonderland where the ruggedness and colors of the earth are magnified infinitely. Walking along the "Dragon's Backbone," with bare, continuous mountain ridges beneath your feet and steep cliffs and emerald lakes on either side, every step feels like strolling on clouds, your heart pounding with the breathtaking scenery. The steps of the Sky Ladder may be physically demanding, but as you conquer them, the breathtaking panorama before you instantly washes away all fatigue. The suspended walkway (if open) offers an exceptional vantage point, allowing you to embrace this masterpiece of nature from every angle. It's also worth mentioning that the experiences offered here are quite abundant. Whether you're looking for thrills like Via Ferrata climbing and ziplining, or a more leisurely experience with the cliff swing and cloud mirror viewing platform, there's something for everyone. I personally tried the ziplining; the speed and exhilaration of plunging down from the heights, combined with the breathtaking mountain scenery, are definitely worth the experience! The only downside might be the intense sun! The entire scenic area offers virtually no shade, so sun protection is essential. Hats, sunglasses, and sun-protective clothing are indispensable, and it's best to avoid the midday sun. Overall, Gaoyiling is the kind of top-tier geological wonder you absolutely can't miss if you're already there. It may not have many recreational facilities, but its pristine, wild, and magnificent beauty is enough to let you feel the purest power of nature. I highly recommend it to all nature lovers, hikers, and photographers. Trust me, it will become one of the most unforgettable spots on your trip.

There are terraced fields, and the scenery looks quite nice. Those who haven't been can check it out, but the locals aren't great; parking fees are outrageous and severely damage the image of ethnic minorities, especially the Yao people!

Lianzhou Underground River truly lives up to its title as the "King of Karst Caves in Lingnan"—the experience is fantastic! A 1500-meter underground river winds its way through four mountain peaks. The geological wonders in scenic areas like the "Fairy Field Square" are breathtaking. The 47.8-meter-high cave dome and 53.6-meter-wide stalactite formations are a testament to nature's artistry. The cave maintains a comfortable, constant temperature, is packed with negative ions, and even boasts a community of Ganoderma lucidum, a national first-class protected plant. A 400-meter boat ride on the underground river, enhanced by sound and light effects, and the newly added AR geological science guide system, are the icing on the cake! Lianzhou Underground River is definitely worth visiting again and again!

The scenery was beautiful, but it was a bit of a shame that the hot air balloons weren't running during the off-season. The photos turned out great. My only complaint is that the moon-shaped shuttle bus is charged by the minute at 2.2 yuan per minute, with a minimum rental of half an hour; you can't buy it outright. It would be better if they offered a buy-out price, since you can't leave for more than a few hours once you're inside.

This was my second visit to Reed Flute Cave, and the experience was quite good. 1. The ticket price is very reasonable, and there's a free guided tour that helps us better understand the significance of the cave. The guide's folk songs were also excellent, showcasing the unique characteristics of Guangxi. 2. The scenery is beautiful; the cave is full of strange and wonderful things, and with a little imagination, you can experience a lot. 3. The scenic area is constantly improving and developing; transparent signs have been added to each viewing area to help visitors understand where they are.

The cave is nice, and the scenery outside the scenic area is also beautiful. You can directly locate the "Ludiyan Ticket Center" when taking a taxi, get off opposite the security booth, and climb up the steps. You don't need to take the train. Buy the ticket one hour in advance and scan the code to enter. You can finish the tour in less than an hour. There is a lake outside with beautiful scenery. You can stroll around.
