Traveler photos and experiences
Guangxi is more than just Guilin! Jingxi's karst countryside is truly healing.
They say Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, but after visiting Jingxi, I discovered that the karst scenery on the China-Vietnam border is the real hidden gem. The pastoral streams of Equan, the ancient town of Jiuzhou, and the mountain lakes of Quyang Lake—everywhere you look is a landscape painting. With fewer tourists and lower prices, it feels like a paradise hidden on the border. Spend 3 days exploring at a leisurely pace, and you'll feel completely refreshed, body and soul. Day 1: Equan countryside and sunset Arrive in Jingxi in the morning and head straight to Equan in the afternoon. An ancient bridge spans the spring, where the water is crystal clear, revealing fish and pebbles below. Surrounded by rice paddies and karst peaks, with farmers leading cattle across the bridge, it looks like a scene from an ancient poem. Stroll along the path by the spring; every view is a photo opportunity, perfect for pastoral shots. In the evening, climb the nearby hill to overlook the entire Equan countryside. The sunset paints the rice paddies and peaks in warm gold, and smoke rises from the village—it's incredibly gentle. Stay in downtown Jingxi at night and try the local sour soup and rice noodles; they're tangy and appetizing. Day 2: Jiuzhou Ancient Town and hydrangea culture Head to Jiuzhou Ancient Town in the morning. This "home of the hydrangea" is very quiet. The old street stretches along the river, with hydrangeas hanging in front of every house. Elderly women sit at their doorways, stitching hydrangeas with exquisite craftsmanship. Walk deeper along the river to see the Wenchang Pagoda standing in the fields. The ancient bridge, flowing water, and karst peaks offer more rustic charm than Fenghuang. In the afternoon, try making your own hydrangea; learn the stitching technique from a local auntie and take it home as a souvenir. Wait for the sunset by the river in the evening; the reflection of the pagoda in the water creates a wonderful atmosphere. Day 3: Quyang Lake tour On the third day, visit Quyang Lake. This karst plateau lake is vast, with clear, turquoise water and peaks rising from the lake, like a smaller version of Thousand Island Lake. You can take a boat tour or drive slowly along the lakeside road; every turn reveals new scenery. Zhuang villages are scattered along the lake, with villagers working in the fields and cattle and sheep grazing on the shore—it's a completely pristine pastoral landscape. Head back in the afternoon and pick up some local pickled fruit and mangoes on the way; they're delicious and cheap. Core photo spots 1. Equan viewing hill: Overlook the panoramic view of the countryside and ancient bridge; best at sunset 2. Jiuzhou Wenchang Bridge: Capture the ancient bridge, pagoda, and peaks in one frame; morning light is soft 3. Quyang Lake lakeside road: Capture the reflection of the peaks in the lake; every shot is a masterpiece Border travel tips · Some areas are near the border; do not cross the border without authorization and follow relevant regulations · If driving, road conditions are generally good; slow down on winding mountain roads · The local population is primarily Zhuang; respect local customs and traditions · Bring your ID; there may be checks on some road sections Local flavors · Jingxi sour soup: Tangy and appetizing; goes well with fish or meat · Jingxi rice noodles: Fresh broth and smooth noodles; a local breakfast staple · Pickled fruit: Tangy, sweet, and crunchy; the roadside stalls are the most authentic · Tropical fruits: Mangoes and passion fruit; fresh and cheap Transportation tips · Take the high-speed train to Baise Station, then transfer to a bus or hire a car to Jingxi; you can also drive directly · The distance between attractions is not short; driving or hiring a car is the most convenient, flexible, and free way to travel No crowded tour groups, no commercial noise. Jingxi's karst countryside preserves the most authentic landscapes and local life. If you love off-the-beaten-path scenery, you must visit at least once.

The Ultimate Guide to Food and Sightseeing in Jiuzhou Ancient Town, Jingxi: A Stress-Free Itinerary
This guide to Jiuzhou Ancient Town covers key attractions, authentic local food, and practical travel information, perfect for a weekend getaway or a road trip around Guangxi.✨ Located in Jingxi City, Guangxi, Jiuzhou Ancient Town is a thousand-year-old town inhabited by the Zhuang people and is famously known as the "Hometown of Chinese Embroidered Balls." Backed by green mountains and surrounded by karst peaks and clear rivers, the town preserves a large number of Zhuang-style residential buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, maintaining its rich local folk culture. You can explore the core attractions of the ancient town on foot: Start at Embroidered Ball Street, where most of the residential houses lining the street feature local artisans crafting embroidered balls on-site. You'll find everything from traditional patterns to innovative designs, and you can watch the crafting process up close or pick out some souvenirs.🧵 At the end of the street stands Wenchang Pavilion. This three-story pavilion, built during the Ming and Qing dynasties, sits in the middle of clear water and is connected to both banks by ancient bridges, making it the town's iconic photo spot. Further into the town, you'll reach Zhuangyin Pavilion, where you can enjoy regular performances of Zhuang intangible cultural heritage, such as the Tianqin (sky zither) and folk songs. The surrounding area also features vast rice paddies and flower fields, offering different scenery depending on the season. The authentic food in the ancient town is primarily Zhuang-style. We recommend trying the freshly steamed sticky rice dumplings, served with honey or sugar for a soft, sweet, and chewy treat, usually costing 5–8 yuan. Street-side rolled rice noodles are freshly steamed from rice batter, wrapped with fillings like minced meat and pickled bamboo shoots, and served with local wampee sauce; a serving costs around 10 yuan and is quite filling. Restaurants also offer specialties like Jingxi pickled snacks, beer fish, and mugwort cakes. The flavors tend to be sour and spicy, perfect for travelers who enjoy local cuisine.🍜 ⚠️Travel Tips: The ancient town is open all day, and there is no general admission fee. Smaller internal attractions, such as Wenchang Pavilion, charge separate fees ranging from 10–20 yuan. For transportation, you can take a direct bus from downtown Jingxi, which takes about 20 minutes, or drive yourself; there is a parking lot at the entrance of the town. If you want to experience a slower pace of life, consider staying at a guesthouse within the ancient town. Most come with viewing terraces, allowing you to see the karst peaks and pastoral scenery right from your window. With its relaxed pace, rich cultural heritage, and beautiful pastoral landscapes, Jiuzhou Ancient Town is the perfect destination for travelers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
November Baise Red Study Tour & Photo Trip | 2 days 1 night at Wanda Realm – A great choice
In early November, Baise starts to feel cool in the mornings and evenings, and rain showers come and go. Using Wanda Realm Hotel (Baise Dream Island Plaza City Store) as a base, I connected the revolutionary sites in Youjiang District into a route combining walking and short taxi rides. It allows for a focused study tour and gives time for photography while waiting for the light or the rain to stop. · -- Accommodation: Location is more practical than luxury Wanda Realm is in the Longjing Central Business District, right next to Dream Island, about a 10–13 minute drive from Baise Station, with the commercial district and night market right downstairs. It's a few minutes' drive to the Baise Uprising Memorial Park, and the old town on Jiefang Street, where the Yuedong Guild Hall is located, is also within a short taxi ride. Transport basics: Take the high-speed train to Baise Station, then a 10–13 minute taxi ride to the hotel. City buses cost 1–2 yuan, and the taxi starting fare is about 7 yuan. A one-way trip between core attractions costs 8–15 yuan. You don't need to charter a car if you're only visiting Youjiang District. · -- Day 1: Get to the memorial park early, take your time at the memorial hall Route: Visitor Center → Baise Uprising Memorial Hall → Red Army Bridge → Deng Xiaoping Handwriting Stele Forest → Hero Sculpture Garden → Monument. The indoor exhibition halls in the memorial park don't require reservations; just enter with your ID card. They are open from 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, with last entry at 4:30 PM. The memorial hall has gray walls and warm lighting, perfect for capturing silhouettes or quiet moments of people looking at exhibits. Turning off the flash is a must. The long steps in front of the monument are the most ceremonial spot. Use a wide-angle lens to shoot upwards to capture the depth of the steps and the scale of the monument; just have your subject walk up naturally or pause. Arrive before 8:00 AM to catch the morning mist before the tour groups arrive—great for both empty shots and portraits. Allow 3–4 hours for the whole visit. Wear shoes with good grip as there are alternating steps and slopes. Lunch is at the Red Family Theme Restaurant inside the Memorial Park Visitor Center. The handmade sour soup and Xilin hemp duck are the real signature dishes. Arrive before 11:00 AM to avoid the peak rush of study tour groups. · -- Day 2: Stroll through the old town, wait for the sunset at the arcade buildings The Yuedong Guild Hall was the headquarters of the Red Seventh Army. It's a Lingnan-style courtyard from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, with rich wood and stone carving details. The courtyard is a natural softbox. Before 10:00 AM or after 3:00 PM, the light hits the corridors at an angle. Have your subject stand at the junction of light and shadow, and use a medium-telephoto lens to compress the space for a vintage feel. If you encounter an immersive performance, watch first and then shoot; don't cut into the performance path. Walk along the Jiefang Street arcade buildings. Between 3:00–5:00 PM, the sunlight hits at an angle, creating the best layers of shadows from the pillars. Wearing plain or vintage shirts and looking back while standing under the arcade makes for a stable composition. If you're willing to get up early, at 6:30 AM at the Red Army Pavilion (Zhongshan Bridge head), use the second-floor railing as a foreground. Use 2x zoom on your phone to avoid cluttered buildings; the black and red contrast works especially well here. · -- Photography tips: You don't need to wear all red. The memorial park's red walls and gray tiles are perfect for plain colors (off-white, light gray, navy blue) to capture a vintage feel, or for black-and-red contrast for a cool, edgy look. Don't mix these two approaches. Light rain isn't a reason to stop—the memorial hall's interior is perfect for focusing on exhibits, and when the rain stops, the wet ground reflects light softly. Hiding from the rain under the arcade and looking at the sky is more authentic to the "study tour" experience than a sunny day. Carry a light jacket and a folding umbrella. In November, Baise can still be muggy in the afternoon, but it cools down quickly after rain. · -- 5 must-eat spots, arranged by route ① Haoyouyuan Restaurant (5th Floor, Wanda Realm). Eat right downstairs; it's a classic Cantonese restaurant. The deep-well crispy roast goose skin is truly crispy—dip it in plum sauce to cut the grease. The sour soup soft-shelled turtle with small buns is a hidden gem. The set meal for two is 78–108 yuan—the most reliable meal when you're tired after a day of walking. ② Huang's Roast Duck Rice Noodles (Branch next to the monument / Main store on Wenming Street). The most famous gold-medal old brand in Baise. 12 yuan a bowl, crispy duck with a fresh, rich broth. Free duck heads are available next to the display window. The main store is at No. 64 Wenming Street, open 6:30 AM–8:30 PM. Eat a bowl on your way down from the memorial park on Day 1, or have it for breakfast on Day 2—this is how the locals do it. ③ Zhuang Family · Zhuang Cuisine (Qianjin Store). Choose this if you want a proper local meal. The wood-fired capon chicken is firm and savory; the five-color sticky rice is a double kill of carbs and protein. Jialou pods are an intangible cultural heritage dish—taro leaves wrapped around minced meat and deep-fried; the leaf flavor is very unique. About 69 yuan per person, suitable for dinner on Day 1 or a main meal on Day 2. ④ Xinzhou Roast Chicken (Wanjing City). A long-standing brand with Tiandong flavor. The freshly slaughtered and roasted signature chicken has a golden, crispy skin. The Tiandong Power Plant snails are a must-order for every table. The 88-yuan snail set meal is filling; you can eat well for 70–80 yuan per person. It's right in Wanjing City, close to the hotel, perfect for a hearty late-night snack after finishing for the day. ⑤ Sanhe Roll Noodles + Liang's Stews (Wenming Street). Wenming Street is what locals call "Xiagang Street," the street with the most authentic old-town atmosphere. Sanhe Roll Noodles are 5 yuan each, steamed and rolled on the spot. Both the minced meat and char siu are popular. You can choose your own lemon sauce or seafood sauce. Liang's Stews in the middle of the street has been open for nearly 45 years. The lean meat stewed with gastrodia and the angelica stewed chicken are made with real ingredients. The sweet dumplings have a crispy skin and sweet filling, and the sweet rice is soft and sticky without being cloying—a perfect ending. After walking the Jiefang Street arcades on Day 2, turn into Wenming Street for this meal. · -- Rest and boundaries: Don't turn your study tour into a forced march. Dedicate one core area each day and leave a window in the afternoon to return to the hotel to rest. Turn off the flash inside the memorial hall, don't touch the display cases, and don't block the path for the sake of composition. The rain showers in Baise come and go quickly; use a quick-dry cloth to wipe your lens, bring enough water, and take a few minutes to relax on the observation deck after reaching the top of the monument—it's more worth it than rushing. Staying at Wanda Realm isn't for luxury; it's so you can travel light every day, take a hot shower when you return, and export your photos in a quiet room. Get to the memorial park early, take your time at the Yuedong Guild Hall, wait for the sunset at the arcades, and finish up on Wenming Street—the authenticity of this route is hidden in those pauses where you aren't rushing to press the shutter.
8 travel destinations worth visiting in November–December
The end of the year is approaching, and many people are starting to plan their trips. I've compiled a list of 8 places with different vibes, ranging from the distinct landscapes of the north and south. Whether you're looking for a warm southern getaway or snowy northern scenery, you can choose what suits you best. 📍 Xishuangbanna The temperature is quite comfortable in November–December, and the rainforest vegetation remains lush year-round. The golden pagoda of Manting Ancient Temple stands quietly, and the Starlight Night Market glows with lights in the evening. You can put on Dai-style clothing, stroll along the streets, and try chicken feet and pineapple rice to experience the local Dai culture. ✅ Travel & off-peak tips: It gets crowded during holidays, so try to visit off-peak. There is a temperature difference between day and night, so bring a light jacket. 📍 Changbai Mountain In early winter, the mountains and forests are covered in snow, and you can see Heaven Lake when the weather is right. The mountains are often misty, and after exploring, you can experience the volcanic hot springs and enjoy the winter forest scenery. ✅ Travel & off-peak tips: Temperatures on the mountain are low, so be prepared with a thick down jacket and non-slip shoes. There are fewer crowds on weekdays, so try to start your day early. 📍 Xingyi In winter, Wanfenglin (Forest of Ten Thousand Peaks) has many sunny days. The rolling peaks are scattered about, creating a peaceful pastoral atmosphere. You can walk along the country roads in Xiaonahui Village, watch the smoke rising from village chimneys, try a bowl of chicken meat tangyuan (glutinous rice balls), and enjoy the leisurely rural life. ✅ Travel & off-peak tips: Temperatures are lower in the morning and evening, so remember to dress warmly. The viewing platforms get crowded on weekends, so prioritize weekday travel. 📍 Nanxiong From late November to December, the ginkgo trees in Maotifeng and Pingtian Ancient Village slowly turn yellow. Sunlight filters through the branches, and the old houses in the ancient village paired with yellow leaves make for a perfect spot for walking and photography. ✅ Travel & off-peak tips: The ginkgo viewing season is short, so check the status of the leaves before you leave. Visiting on weekdays means shorter wait times for photos. 📍 Jingxi The small city has a mild climate in winter, and the karst landscape is refreshing. The water at Goose Spring is crystal clear, the old town of Jiuzhou is full of local life, and the mountains and water at Quyang Lake are connected. While strolling through the streets and alleys, you can try local suanye (pickled fruit/vegetables) to experience the local flavors. ✅ Travel & off-peak tips: There are many curves in the mountainous areas, so drive slowly if you are renting a car. The old town gets crowded on weekends, so we recommend visiting off-peak. 📍 Harbin As the ice and snow season arrives, snowflakes fall on the top of Saint Sophia Cathedral. You can buy red sausage on Central Street, and once the river freezes, you can enjoy activities on the Songhua River. While walking on the street, you can also try a Madieer popsicle to experience the local winter specialty. ✅ Travel & off-peak tips: Temperatures are low, so be sure to pack complete cold-weather gear. Central Street is crowded in the evening; if you want a quieter experience, choose the morning. 📍 Yancheng Autumn and winter are the seasons for migratory bird arrivals. The reeds in the wetlands sway in the wind, and red-crowned cranes and milu deer stop here. Walking slowly along the wetland boardwalks, you can see birds skimming across the water and enjoy the vast wilderness scenery. ✅ Travel & off-peak tips: It is windy in the wetlands, so be prepared to block the wind and stay warm. Birds are relatively more active in the early morning, making it a great time for birdwatching. 📍 Jianshui The ancient city in southern Yunnan has plenty of sunshine in winter, and the Chaoyang Tower and Shuanglong Bridge retain their ancient architectural style. The old city streets are full of life, and you can eat grilled tofu from roadside stalls or enjoy a warm bowl of caoya rice noodles. There is no need to plan a packed itinerary; just take your time and stroll around. ✅ Travel & off-peak tips: There are fewer tourists in the ancient city in the morning, which is perfect for a quiet visit. There is a significant temperature difference between day and night, so bring a jacket when you go out. 💬 End-of-post interaction For your year-end trip, would you choose the warm south or the snowy scenery of the north?
Quyang Lake, Jingxi, Baise · Mosu Lakeside Homestay | Immerse yourself in the scenery: a hidden gem homestay from sunrise to sunset
A few days ago, I posted about a hidden gem homestay in Fuzhou called Yinshi, and everyone liked it. I suddenly remembered the Mosu Homestay I visited last year, which is also very unique, and I'd like to recommend it to you all here. [Congratulate][Congratulate][Congratulate] My itinerary started in Nanning, Guangxi. First, I visited Bama and stayed at the Junlan on Cifu Lake (interested friends can check my previous post), then I went to Haokun Lake. That afternoon, I drove about 2.5 hours from Haokun Lake, passing through country roads between karst peaks and streets filled with dust from several cement plants [Akward][Akward][Akward]. I was really worried I had made a mistake, but finally, after passing through an ordinary small town, just as I was leaving it, I encountered Mosu without any warning [Like]. Mosu Lakeside is right by the water, with simple white walls, unassuming and quiet, feeling as if it has merged with the lake view, like it grew out of this ink wash painting. If you think "viral homestays" only exist in Erhai, Dali, this place will likely redefine what a "hidden gem" is for you. Arrival: Getting to know a lake through a homestay Once the car stopped and I opened the door, the lake breeze, carrying moisture and the crisp scent of plants, rushed towards me. There are no commercial streets or neon lights around (really, there's nothing, and food delivery isn't easy to order; if it weren't for Mosu, this town wouldn't really be worth visiting), just the sound of the lake gently lapping against the shore. This "remoteness" is precisely the result of Quyang Lake not being overdeveloped. The lake itself is a free scenic area, quiet and serene, with a much lower tourist density than Guilin or Erhai. Mosu is built near the dam, just tens of meters from the lake cruise pier, so you can tour Quyang Lake right after stepping out. Room: Lying in bed, the lake is right before your eyes Lake-view rooms are this homestay's biggest selling point. We booked one "Ink Wash 180° Lake-View Bathtub King Room" and one "Floating Light 180° Lake-View Twin Room" in advance. Both start at 35 sqm, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the entire lake. In the morning, you don't even need to get up; just pull back the curtains, and the karst peaks and lake water are framed right there. Overall, the rooms are spacious, clean, and tidy, with an aesthetically pleasing decor style that's great for photos. This year, the homestay added a floor, including an 80 sqm "Ink Dye 360° Rotating Round Bed Lake-View Bathtub Room" with a giant projection screen, perfect for those who want more space and a sense of ceremony. The overall room prices aren't expensive; basic lake-view rooms are around 1,000, offering quite high value for money. In terms of hardware, the whole house is smart, with smart toilets, blackout curtains, and TV screen casting all included, and the bathroom has a dry/wet separation. A reminder: the floor-to-ceiling windows can be quite sunny on summer afternoons, so it's recommended to close the curtains at noon and turn on the air conditioning in advance. First-floor lobby: Quyang Lake's "natural photo studio" The first-floor lobby is the liveliest part of the entire homestay and is a recognized photo spot in the Quyang Lake area. The dining room, bar, and cafe are integrated, extending from the indoors to the lakeside balcony, as if the entire lake has been pulled into the house. (You can check out the photos I attached; every casual shot is a blockbuster.) The balcony is rarely empty during the day, and every angle is a photo spot. With the lake and mountains as a backdrop, just place a coffee cup on the table, and any casual shot turns into a great photo. I saw online reviews where travel bloggers listed this as the "number one photo spot" at Quyang Lake. If you aren't rushing your itinerary, ordering a coffee and sitting on the balcony watching the clouds drift between the peaks is worth the price of admission. Describing it as something "no girl can refuse" is really not an exaggeration. Sunset dinner: On the balcony, eating while watching the sky change colors Having the homestay arrange a dinner on the balcony (be sure to communicate in advance, as the balcony isn't large, and if you communicate too late, there won't be any spots left) is the most worthwhile thing to do here. The evening light starts to soften, and the lake surface slowly turns from blue-green to gold, then transitions to pink and purple. The homestay will deliver the meal to the balcony at the agreed time. The mantis shrimp, lake fish, small lake shrimp, and vegetables here are all good. The dishes look comfortable, and the taste is home-style—not stunning, but paired with the scenery before you, what you eat becomes less important. If you want something more flavorful, you can communicate with the owner in advance about local ways of preparing river seafood. The fish and shrimp in Quyang Lake are of good quality, so steaming or simple seasoning is enough. The point isn't the food, but where that table is placed. (The homestay has a menu you can choose from; the prices aren't expensive. The homestay goes to the market every day to purchase fresh ingredients to treat everyone. Also, if something isn't on the menu, you can ask the owner, and they will try their best to find a way [Smart].) Boat tour: Rent a boat for 100 yuan and put yourself in the painting Early the next morning, I asked the owner to help arrange a Quyang Lake boat tour. The pier is right next to the homestay. A villager's boat costs about 100 yuan; if you share a boat, it's only a few dozen yuan per person, which is extremely cost-effective. The boat trip takes about one to two hours, slowly weaving between the karst islands. The water is clear, the mountains are quiet, and occasionally you can see egrets flying up from the shore, with fishing villages and terraced fields passing by. That quiet and peaceful atmosphere is truly intoxicating. (You can check out the attached pictures; it's really photogenic on the lake.) Unlike the official large cruise boats, the villagers' boats offer more freedom; you can stop wherever you want, and it feels like you've chartered the entire lake. Setting off in the early morning is best; the lake surface hasn't been fully lit by the sun yet, thin mist clings to the foot of the mountains, and sitting at the bow of the boat feeling the breeze—that kind of quiet is hard to fully capture in words. Service and some practical reminders The homestay's service is the kind that has a human touch. The staff are very patient when helping with photos. Someone proactively helps carry luggage, and there is someone at the front desk 24 hours a day. If you need to communicate something last minute, it's also quite flexible—it's all about being friendly and casual! Things you need to know in advance: Breakfast is relatively simple—a single plate with a few breakfast items, mainly porridge, eggs, and small snacks. The variety of the breakfast could definitely be improved. There is no food delivery nearby, so dining basically relies on the homestay or a few nearby country restaurants. It is recommended to communicate your dining arrangements with the homestay in advance. Summary Quyang Lake is not a place that wins by "attraction density." Its goodness lies in the fact that the mountains, water, and quiet are all in the right places. Mosu Lakeside happens to have grown in this exact spot—it turned the lake into part of the room, the balcony into a dining table, and the pier into a "turn left when you go out" convenience. If what you want is a short vacation where you don't rush, don't check off tourist spots, and just soak in the scenery, this place is unlikely to disappoint you. I feel this homestay is suitable for couples, best friends, people who want to take photos and relax, and short-term vacationers willing to pay for the scenery. It is not recommended for those who pursue a rich nightlife or have high requirements for breakfast standards and surrounding commercial facilities. The best way to experience it: Stay for one night, arrive on the first afternoon, have afternoon tea, relax and experience the homestay's scenery, have dinner on the balcony at sunset, and then chat with friends and talk about everything under the sun. The next morning, when there are fewer people, take a boat to tour Quyang Lake, and after getting ashore, order a coffee and continue your journey [Awesome][Awesome][Awesome]

How to make the most of your time at Haokun Lake? A complete itinerary from sunrise to sunset
Located in Lingyun County, Baise, Guangxi, Haokun Lake is known as the "Lugu Lake of Guangxi." It is a classic karst plateau lake surrounded by lush green peaks and emerald waters, offering a quiet, uncrowded experience. However, it has a unique feature: the scenery changes completely depending on the time of day. This guide is organized chronologically, from before sunrise to after sunset, telling you exactly what to do and where to go. Just follow along. 🌅 5:30 AM–7:00 AM · Nongwaitun Village hilltop · Sunrise and morning mist You don't need to pay to enter the scenic area to see the sunrise at Haokun Lake. Navigate to "Nongwaitun Basketball Court," park on the side of the road, and take the stairs nearby for about a 15-minute hike to the top for a panoramic view of the entire lake. This viewpoint is free and offers a better perspective than the observation decks inside the scenic area. Depart at 5:30 AM and reach the top before 6:00 AM. As the sun rises behind the karst peaks and the morning mist lingers, the lake looks like a giant emerald surrounded by fog. The first hour after sunrise is the golden hour for photography—the light is soft, and the lake is as calm as a mirror. ⏰ Why this time: It's the least crowded, has the best light, and the lake is calmest in the morning. Plus, it's free. 🏞️ 8:30 AM–10:30 AM · Driving around the lake · Fisherman's Pavilion and Nongfu Village After watching the sunrise, head down the mountain and officially enter the scenic area. Tickets are ¥58 per person, or ¥48 if booked online in advance. Staying at a homestay within the scenic area waives the entrance fee. Driving route around the lake: Scenic Area Entrance → Nongwaitun Basketball Court → Nongfu Village → Fisherman's Pavilion → Zonglv Cave → Zhulong Cave. The whole trip takes about 2–3 hours, with plenty of spots to pull over and take photos along the way. The Fisherman's Pavilion is the most recommended photo spot—climb the stairs to overlook the lake and capture the "road + lake + mountain" frame, a popular spot made famous by Zhang Xinyu. Nongfu Village is worth a short stop; you can see villagers living by the lake, giving it a very authentic, rustic feel. ⏰ Why this time: The morning light comes from the east, making the lake look its most emerald. Also, tourists haven't arrived yet, so there's little traffic on the road. 🛶 11:00 AM–12:00 PM · Boat ride on the lake · Get close to the peaks from the water After driving around the lake, change your perspective and take a boat. The boat ride costs ¥50 per person and lasts about 40 minutes, allowing you to get close to the peaks from the water and feel the imposing presence of the karst mountains. When the boat reaches the narrowest part of the lake, the peaks on both sides almost seem to touch, and the water color shifts from emerald green to deep blue. On sunny days, you can see the rocks and sunken wood at the bottom of the lake. ⏰ Why this time: The midday light is the brightest, making the water look the most transparent. 🍜 12:30 PM–2:00 PM · Lunch by the lake · Farmhouse dishes and Lingyun Baihao tea Have lunch at a farmhouse restaurant by the lake. Lingyun Baihao tea is a local specialty; it's very refreshing. Pair it with local free-range chicken, fresh river fish, and wild vegetables—simple but authentic. Farmhouse food in the lakeside villages isn't about fine dining, but the ingredients are incredibly fresh. ⏰ Why this time: It's too sunny at noon for outdoor activities, so eating and resting is a perfect way to avoid the harsh light. ☁️ 2:30 PM–4:30 PM · Zonglv Cave and Zhulong Cave · Cave exploration Spend the afternoon visiting Zonglv Cave and Zhulong Cave. Zonglv Cave has a strong "sinkhole" feel with diverse stalactite formations; if you love natural wonders, you must go inside. Zhulong Cave used to be a main path for villagers to reach the outside world. You'll need to descend via bamboo ladders and rocky steps, and looking up at the sky from the cave entrance is truly breathtaking. ⚠️ Note: The path to Zhulong Cave has loose rocks and bamboo ladders. Wear non-slip shoes; do not attempt this in flip-flops or sandals. 🌇 5:00 PM–6:30 PM · Sunset by the lake · The perfect end to the day Return to the lakeside in the evening. Find a spot on the shore, sit down, and watch the sun sink behind the karst peaks. The sunset at Haokun Lake isn't as dramatic as at the seaside; it's quiet and changes slowly—from gold to orange-red to dark purple, with the lake changing colors along with it. ⏰ Why this time: The two hours before sunset are another golden period for photography, as the warm light makes the colors of the lake and peaks richer. 🗺️ Two-day itinerary suggestion Day 1: Arrive at Haokun Lake in the afternoon → Watch the sunset around the lake in the evening → Stay at a lakeside homestay Day 2: Watch the sunrise early in the morning → Drive around the lake → Take a boat ride → Explore the caves → Return in the afternoon ⚠️ Key reminders · Navigate to "Nongwaitun Basketball Court" for the sunrise; it's free and a 15-minute hike to the top · Tickets are ¥58, or ¥48 if booked in advance; staying at a scenic area homestay waives the ticket fee · Attractions are scattered, so driving is most convenient; there are many mountain roads, so beginners should drive slowly · Wear non-slip athletic shoes; Zhulong Cave has loose rocks and bamboo ladders

3 days in Jingxi: Let's start with what you don't need to spend
Most guides start with "how much will it cost." This one does the opposite—first, let's calculate what you don't need to spend, then what's worth spending on, and what to avoid wasting money on. Jingxi is in Baise, Guangxi. Its karst peaks rival Guilin's, but with far fewer crowds than Yangshuo. Its biggest advantage: many core experiences are free, but some expenses are just a waste of money. ✅ Money you don't need to spend (savings are earnings) Viewing the karst peaks is free. Unlike Guilin, you don't need to take a boat or buy a ticket to see Jingxi's karst peaks. Drive along country roads, and you'll find rice paddies and streams perfect for photos, with the peaks right by the roadside—just pull over to enjoy the view. Driving around the Quyang Lake loop road is completely free. This sightseeing fee would cost at least 300 yuan in Guilin, but it's zero in Jingxi. Exploring Jiuzhou is free. The Jiuzhou scenic area ticket is 46 yuan, but the old street itself is free—the embroidery ball street, old houses, and pastoral scenery are all outside the paid area. Seeing locals buying groceries and soaking up the sun is the most authentic side of Jingxi. You don't pay this ancient town fee on West Street in Yangshuo, but Yangshuo's beer fish is three times more expensive than in Jingxi. Watching the sunset is free. Just find a ridge at the foot of any mountain in Jingxi, and you can watch the karst peaks turn red in the evening sun for free. This sunset viewing fee would cost 200 yuan on a bamboo raft on the Yulong River in Yangshuo. 💰 Money worth spending (spend it where it counts) Tongling Grand Canyon (125 yuan), worth it. The 188-meter waterfall is stunning. Looking up from the bottom of the canyon as the water pours down from the cliff top, with mist hitting your face—photos just can't capture the impact. This is the only must-pay attraction in Jingxi, and it's the most worthwhile. Equan (46 yuan), worth it. One of the three great springs in Southwest China and the source of the Detian Transnational Waterfall. The spring water is crystal clear, with water plants swaying at the bottom. It looks like a fairyland when it's foggy in the morning. 46 yuan isn't expensive, but I recommend going in the morning—the light is better and it's less crowded. Gulongshan Grand Canyon (from 99 yuan), depends on your stamina. A combination of rafting and canyon hiking, it's gentler than Tongling Grand Canyon and suitable for those with average stamina. You can skip it if you're short on time. ❌ Money not to waste (avoid these traps) Quyang Lake boat tour (66 yuan), you can skip it. You can see the same scenery by driving along the lake loop road, which is freer and better for photos. Unless you specifically want a water-level view, you don't need to spend this money. Souvenir shops at the entrance of scenic areas—don't buy. Jingxi's sour soup noodles cost 8 yuan and rolled rice noodles cost 5 yuan; just eat at small shops in the city. The local specialties at the entrance of scenic areas are two or three times the price, and locals never buy them. Private car hire from the county to attractions—don't pay for it alone. Jingxi's attractions are scattered, and a private car costs 300–400 yuan per day. If you're traveling alone, I recommend carpooling or taking a bus; only consider a private car if there are two or more people. 📊 Total budget (per person for 3 days, excluding long-distance transport) Money not spent: sightseeing fees, ancient town fees, and sunset fees—save about 500 yuan. Money worth spending: Tongling Grand Canyon 125 yuan + Equan 46 yuan + food, accommodation, and transport—total about 600–800 yuan for three days. Money not to waste: boat tour 66 yuan + scenic area souvenirs + solo private car hire—save about 200 yuan. All in all, it's about 600–800 yuan per person for three days, more than half the price of Yangshuo. 🗺️ 3-day itinerary Day 1: 2.5-hour high-speed train from Nanning to Jingxi > Afternoon stroll in Jiuzhou Old Street > Evening sunset viewing from the fields Day 2: Morning at Equan (go early for the fog) > Afternoon at Tongling Grand Canyon Day 3: Drive around Quyang Lake (no boat tour) > Return trip ⚠️ Key tips Best season: Spring and autumn; summer is a bit hot Jingxi's attractions are scattered; driving or carpooling is most convenient Go to Equan in the morning; if you go late, the fog clears and it gets crowded Tongling Grand Canyon has many stairs; wear sneakers 📌 The bottom line The logic for value in Jingxi is simple: sightseeing is free, experiences cost a little, and the traps are in boat tours and souvenirs. Spend your money on Tongling Grand Canyon and Equan, and rely on driving and walking for the rest.
What people are saying about Baise
Tongling Grand Canyon
Tongling Grand Canyon offers a complete experience of walking through waterfalls. The scenic area isn't very large, so it's not tiring to walk around. It's currently the off-season, so you can visit if you have time.
maoyfengGoose Spring Scenic Area
The water in Goose Spring is crystal clear, and the environment is nice. Although the scenic area is a bit artsy, it is unique and clear, and the hygiene is also good. What I like most is the water in Goose Spring, which is also one of the sources of Detian Waterfall. It's wonderful.
M32***57Gulongshan Grand Canyon
I think this is pretty good. We went to Sandieling first, which is very close to here. Then we came in around noon. There are mountains, water, waterfalls, caves, and rafting. We chose the free rafting option, which is best enjoyed on your own, especially if you're not elderly. You can take your time taking photos and exploring.
黄灿灿的小静Haokun Lake
The karst landscape of Haokun Lake is quite different from other places. The peaks here are more majestic and unique, some even possessing a kind of "imperfect" beauty. The lake water blends perfectly with them, creating a landscape where the scenery is in the water and the water is in the scenery, resulting in a unique charm.
一个孤独的生活Quyang Lake
The driver was very professional and drove very steadily. He listened to us the whole time, giving us a lot of freedom in our itinerary. The guide was also excellent; he even took us back to get our bags once we forgot them. Five stars!
M36***04Jiuzhou Scenic Area
I really love this tranquil and elegant pastoral landscape. Jiuzhou is represented by the Wenchang Pavilion on the water, which integrates ancient streets, hydrangea culture, and sea of flowers; Equan takes the art of water to the extreme, like a fairyland. Both of these are must-see attractions in Jingxi!
一个孤独的生活Luomei Lotus Cave
The scenery is ordinary, with no special views. Just walk along the river to the end and then exit the cave. The lotus pots in the water are quite unique, and one of the largest ones is said to be the largest in the world. The karst rocks are not large in scale, just reflecting Luo Mei's love story.
anderdonDashiwei Tiankeng Scenic Area
The place is unique although not much visited, we were only tourists here at the time. We visited east and west peak (including cave). The cave is a must, you can feel here how magnificent large is the sinkhole. The glass walkway was the least impressive to us out of the place although there is a good coffee shop there. The place very much worth the visit, although not easy to get here.
Tomasz Kucharski2Jinxiu Ancient Town
Goose Spring is not very big, so there are not many attractions to visit. So if you want to stay overnight, you can go to Jinxiu Ancient City at night. If you just want to see Goose Spring, there is no need to go there specifically.
lisakeesTongtian Underground River Scenic Area
The drive from Pingguo City to Tongtian River takes about an hour and a half, with beautiful scenery along the way. Tongtian River is an underground river, with 3.5 kilometers of the scenic area developed. Visitors can hike along the river inside the cave or take a boat. A better experience is to hike in and exit by boat, or vice versa. The cave stalagmites, pillars, and terraces are not large in scale, but the cave halls are tall and spacious, with caves within caves, sometimes connected by narrow passages, which is quite interesting. The cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it a good place to escape the heat.
