Quyang Lake in Jingxi, Guangxi!

Departing from Kunming, the bus goes directly to Quyang Lake. It sets off at 8:30 in the morning. There was a bit of congestion when leaving Kunming, but the highway was smooth except for a section under construction that caused a traffic jam. After reaching Honghe, we continued south, and the scenery on the highway became increasingly beautiful. At 4:00 in the afternoon, after traveling 700km, we finally arrived at Quyang Lake. ✅For visiting Quyang Lake, I suggest everyone to navigate directly to Baqi Tun map 5, because going to the visitor center won't allow you to climb the mountain for a full view of the lake, and the boat rides there are also quite expensive. In Tunli, get off the bus and go straight to climb the mountain. The stairs are a bit steep but there are handrails on both sides, so it's not too difficult to climb. It takes less than 20 minutes to reach the top, where there is a pavilion and an observation deck, offering an excellent view. Once at the top, the beauty of 'mountains in the lake, lakes in the mountains' is fully visible. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great during the entire May Day holiday. If the weather were clear and bright, the charm of the scenery would definitely skyrocket! ✅After descending the mountain, you can take a boat to enjoy the scenery in and around the lake. The boats are owned by the villagers 🚤, costing 30 yuan per person, with a tour lasting about 50 minutes. I personally think it's quite a bargain. Sitting on the boat without a care, just leisurely enjoying the scenery, is really pleasant. However, a word of caution for girls who come later: because the weather was bad during the May Day period, be sure to bring a jacket 🧥 when taking the boat ride, or you'll be freezing! The whole visiting process was not too crowded and the experience was good. ✅Personally, I think climbing the mountain and taking a boat ride is enough. It can be done in 2-3 hours. If you have more time, you can go around the lake, but I think the view from the mountain top and the close contact experience on the boat are already sufficient. After the boat ride, it was just 7:00 in the evening, and we drove to Jingxi City for accommodation, which took 40 minutes. Driving all day was tiring and we were very hungry, so we ate at the Global Business Center's Yipin Beef Feast Chaozhou Beef, which had good dishes and service, for the girls who come later to consider. We stayed at the Shangkeyou Chain Hotel, which was quite cost-effective during the May Day period, overall not bad, economical and clean.
