    The hot spring resort is quite large with a pleasant environment. The hot spring water temperature is around 35 degrees Celsius. There are several soaking pools near the entrance, and a swimming pool in the middle, so the water temperature isn't too cold. Further inside are tiered pools, which are great for taking photos. Only a few pools are a bit too hot for soaking. Overall, it's a good place to enjoy both hot springs and scenery.

    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!

    The free ancient city is newly built and commercialized, but since it is free for you to come and play, it is better than those domestic ones that are enclosed and charge fees. It is recommended to come in the evening, the night view is several levels higher than the daytime, and there are performances if you catch the weekend.

    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.

    We wanted to see dolphins 🐬, so before the trip we checked the weather forecast and it predicted rain. We were prepared to treat it as just a speedboat trip if we didn't see any. We got off at Qinzhou Railway Station, and the scenic area was quite far, about an hour and a half drive away. There weren't many people at the scenic area that day, but many spots were taken by private boat operators. We wanted to choose a legitimate boat, so we waited for almost an hour before boarding. Luckily, we did see some; the camera captured a few glimpses of them, which made us very happy.

    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~

    Tickets were issued quickly, and the seller was quite trustworthy. The weather wasn't great today; the waves were a bit high, making it difficult to see dolphins. It took us almost an hour to finally find them, and we even had to stop for a while before heading back. They were really honest.

    The scenery is beautiful. Tickets for Route B bamboo rafts purchased on Ctrip one day in advance cost 135 yuan, while tickets for Route B on the day of the rafting cost 145 yuan. Tickets for Route A cost 120 yuan, and Route B costs 160 yuan if purchased on-site.

    Jintan is located in Dongxing City, which is under the jurisdiction of Fangchenggang City, Guangxi. In my opinion, Jintan Beach is beautiful, the water is beautiful, and the surrounding scenic spots are also beautiful. There is also the Jing Nationality Museum, which showcases the Jing nationality, a minority ethnic group in my country. It is an important window for tourists to understand the culture, folk customs and history of the Jing nationality.
