    It was amazing! We finally made it to Longgu Bay! The kids had been waiting for this moment for so long! Whether it was the dinosaurs, the 4D movies, or the underwater world, they all contained a wealth of fun and knowledge! I definitely recommend it!

    Pros: 1. The cascading hot springs are quite unique and photogenic. 2. Free lockers are available for access via QR code, and the deposit is refundable. 3. Highly cost-effective. Cons: 1. The hot spring water is cool, feeling around 28°C, similar to a heated swimming pool, making it ideal for summer swimming. 2. The showers have a bad odor, similar to the toilets. Although there are warning signs on each door, the odor is still quite strong. This is related to the individual's personality and the management style of the owner.

    It was a really pleasant trip. I came here 12 years ago. I didn't walk far that time. The children were tired and the elderly had leg pain. This time I only brought my children. They have grown up and have better physical strength than me. We walked to Yaochi and then turned back. We had fun playing in the water all the way.

    There were very few people. I saw some students observing and recording the white-headed langurs, which felt a bit like an educational trip. The entire scenic area is on foot, but there are some winding paths through sugarcane fields with little shade, so it can get quite sunny on hot days. If you just want to see the monkeys, you can wait at the ticket office. When the monkeys come out, staff will take you there in electric carts. The staff at the scenic area are very attentive to whether you see the monkeys. When I tried to go in for a walk, they repeatedly reminded me that I might not see them if I went in now, that my ticket was non-refundable, and that if I didn't see them, I could come back and wait… Also, the timing of the monkey viewing is very important. Around 11 am and 3 or 4 pm are good times to see them. They rest for a long time in between, so you won't be able to see them. I was lucky enough to see the monkeys from Thumb Mountain come down to the fields to eat sweet potato leaves. The alpha male led a large group of his wives and children. Everyone held their breath watching them eat in the field. The little monkeys were so cute!

    "Shiwandashan: A Forgotten Secret of the South"—A Geographical Retreat, a Soul's Retreat. On the map, it's just a dark green fold in southwestern Guangxi; in the eyes of travelers, it's the last untamed green lung on the China-Vietnam border; in my heart, the Shiwandashan Mountains, a name imbued with poetry and wildness. It's not part of the bustling tourist map, without direct high-speed rail access, and not on "must-see" lists. Yet, in its silent presence, it guards the most pristine pulse of life in southern China. This isn't a landscape gallery, but a living natural epic. 1. Geographical Remoteness: Hidden in the remote green landscape, the Shiwandashan Mountains aren't literally 100,000 mountains, but rather a transliteration of the Zhuang term Dishoih Vahndaengz (meaning "Heavenly Mountains"). Stretching across Fangchenggang, Shangsi, and Ningming, it borders the Shiwandashan National Nature Reserve to the north and the Beibu Gulf to the south. It is the last bastion of the northern tropical monsoon forest ecosystem in mainland China. The mountains here are not high, with few precipitous peaks or cliffs, but their beauty lies in their continuous, overlapping peaks. Clouds and mist linger year-round, like the earth's breath. Streams seep through cracks in the rocks, converge into rivers, and ultimately flow into the Beilun River, flowing to the sea—a journey that begins in silence and ends in vastness. Its "remoteness" isn't just a geographical isolation, but also a spiritual distance that modern civilization hasn't yet fully penetrated. Entering it feels as if time has slowed down. II. Ecological Depth: A Primitive Theater of Symbiosis Stepping into the Shiwan Mountains, you'll understand the saying, "Trees are older than men, vines longer than snakes." Towering ancient trees stand like bronze giants, their exposed buttresses like dragon claws gripping the ground. The air is so moist you could wring water out of it, and every breath feels like drinking a glass of sweet green juice. The humus beneath your feet is soft and thick, and you step silently, as if afraid to disturb the dormant mycelial network. Home to parashorea chinensis, also trees, slow lorises, and jungle fowl, this is the only place in China where you can observe the complete vertical spectrum of tropical forests. You don't have to search for rare species; simply stand still for a moment—a red-billed leiothrix flits through the treetops, a group of macaques hopscotches, an epiphytic orchid quietly blooms on a tree trunk... These moments are nature's personal messages to those who patiently seek them. Even more moving is the way the ecosystem here maintains a certain ancient balance. There's no overdevelopment, no artificial landscaping, only a natural dialogue between wind, rain, light, and shadow, and life itself.

    The ice cave is crystal clear and colorful, very beautiful. The stalactites in the Dragon Palace Cave are all kinds of strange and impressive. You can also take a comfortable two-person car for sightseeing.

    Dongnayu Bay is definitely worth a visit. It's easily accessible by car or public transport. The Longbitan Waterfall Group here is stunning, with a considerable width and powerful flow. It's not crowded, allowing you to leisurely enjoy the natural scenery, stroll along the bay, feel the sea breeze on your face, and experience a wealth of unique experiences. It's a perfect place to relax, reconnect with nature, and unwind.

    The sky is really blue. It was too hot the day we went, so we didn't play outside for long. It was great~ I picked up shells and conchs of all sizes on the beach, picked out the right size and put them in this grid. It's like a miniature ocean museum, both beautiful and meaningful~

    The scenic area is mainly about performances, which young people enjoy, but older people might find staying up late too much. The sun is too strong during the day, but the evening performances are quite varied. We saw it at 9:30, and there were rumors of more performances later. The eunuchs' performance was excellent, and their acting skills were impressive. The many improvisations were quite enjoyable.

    It was raining in Beihai, so I went to the Underwater World. 168 yuan wasn't cheap, but seeing many beautiful marine creatures and enjoying the shows made it all worthwhile.
