Sanmenhai, China's very own Blue Hole
In the vast landscape of China, a hidden gem known as Sanmenhai lies in wait. It is not only a natural wonder but also a witness to the billions of years of Earth's transformations, waiting for every traveler to unveil its mysterious veil.
Attraction Introduction: A Whisper of Eons
Sanmenhai, located in Fengshan County of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is a group of sinkholes formed by karst topography. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that these sinkholes are connected by underground rivers, creating a spectacle of 'mountains within the sea, and seas within the mountains.' Taking a flat boat ride through the emerald waters between the sinkholes feels like traveling through a time tunnel, with each rock wall etched with the history of the Earth. Sunlight spills from the top of the sinkholes, and amidst the interplay of light and shadow, the water surface shimmers, presenting a beauty that seems not of this world.

Gourmet Strategy: The Flavor of Zhuang Hometown on the Tip of the Tongue
• Five-color Sticky Rice: Made with natural plant dyes to color the sticky rice, fragrant and soft, it is an essential dish for traditional Zhuang festivals.
• Oil Tea: A unique beverage with added fried rice, peanuts, and other ingredients, it is the local's breakfast of choice.
Transportation Strategy:
• External Transportation: The most convenient way is to depart from Nanning. There are direct long-distance buses to Fengshan, or you can choose to rent a car for a self-driving tour, with beautiful scenery along the way.
• Internal Transportation: After arriving in Fengshan, it is recommended to rent a car or use the local tourist chartered car service for a more convenient and flexible exploration of Sanmenhai and the surrounding areas.
In this paradise forgotten by time, every breath seems to inhale stories of a billion years. Sanmenhai, a place for the soul to rest, awaits you for an impromptu journey of discovery.
Thanks for the last class to wear in, it is really good. I think this money is especially worth the color of drinking water and it is the first time I have seen it in China. I hope that the environment here can be well protected and getting better and better.

The water in Sanmenhai is blue, take the boat for 30 ~ 40 minutes, the scenery is very beautiful! The rowers are also very hard, and the ticket price is worth it to them! Then when you go out of the hole, you can sit on the bow and take pictures.
Personally feel that Sanmenhai is the best-looking scenic spot in Bama, and the blue clear water makes the mood instantly calm.
