Top 10 attractions in Du'an
Daxing Jiudun Skylight
Daxing Jiudun Skylight is located among the karst peak clusters in Hechi, Guangxi. It is a slanted skylight left behind by the long-term erosion of underground rivers and the subsequent collapse of the roof. Its opening is nearly circular, and it is known by locals as the eye of the earth. The Du'an area is dense with skylights, and the special feature of this group lies in the word overflow: the underground river has abundant water, which overflows from the wellhead all year round, forming a surface stream at the foot of the mountain. One of the sources of the Chengjiang River is located here. The color and depth of the water are the soul of this view: the water in the skylight is transparent with a blue-green hue. When viewed from above on a sunny day, it looks like a gemstone embedded in the green mountains, making it a frequent subject for photography enthusiasts. Beneath the seemingly calm surface, the explored depth has reached over 200 m, making it a significant dive site for cave diving enthusiasts in China. It is known as the underwater Mount Everest, and you can often encounter professional divers who have come specifically with their air tanks. Around noon on sunny days, there is plenty of light, and the water appears exceptionally blue, making it a great time for viewing and photography.Du'an · 28.5 km from downtown
Tunbang Tianchuang
Tunbang Tianchuang is a popular spot for water activities within the Du'an underground river skylight cluster. A skylight is an opening that connects an underground river or cave to the surface after the roof collapses, allowing water from the underground river to gush out, first gathering into a clear pool and then winding along the foot of the mountain into a small river. The water here is nearly transparent. Standing on the bank, you can see aquatic plants swaying gently with the current, small fish darting in and out among the plants, and even the patterns on the pebbles are clearly visible. The water originates from an underground river and remains cool even at noon in midsummer. Reaching into the water, you are greeted by a refreshing chill. Surrounded by karst peak clusters, the area features village houses nestled against the mountains and by the water. Every summer, this place becomes a natural, open-air swimming pool. Please note that the pool's depth varies. Shallow areas may only reach your waist, while deep areas are deep enough to submerge your head, so check the depth before entering the water. The water volume also changes significantly with the seasons. It is best for water activities during the rainy season when the river is full, while the water level recedes during the dry season, which may diminish the visual appeal.Du'an · 12.1 km from downtown

Tunbang Skylight, a 2-hour drive from Nanning, is the perfect choice for a tour around Guangxi! There is a natural underground spring here, the water is cold and clear, and the water quality is so good that there are aquatic plants growing under the water. The homestay, restaurant, paddle board, and life jackets next to Tunbang Skylight are all complete. If you have enough time, you can spend a night next to the skylight and see the fairy-like water mist in the morning.

The weather was bad and it was a bit rainy on the day I went there. I didn't want to wait until 3pm. It was a pity.
The mountain road is OK, parking is convenient, and the parking spot is 100 meters away from the tiankeng
