Guiping Xishan in Guangxi: Strange Rocks, Beautiful Trees, Fragrant Tea, and Sweet Springs — traveler post in Guiping

Guiping Xishan in Guangxi: Strange Rocks, Beautiful Trees, Fragrant Tea, and Sweet Springs

On this trip to Guigang, the biggest surprise was the Xishan Scenic Area. I didn’t have high expectations at first, but once I entered, I found the forest serene, the ancient trees towering, and the oxygen level fully refreshing 🌿 Xishan is famous for its "strange rocks, beautiful trees, fragrant tea, and sweet springs." The granite rocks, formed 180 million years ago, are jagged and unique, featuring formations like Chessboard Stone, Flying Stone, and Liyin Cave—nature’s masterpiece. The forest coverage rate is 98%, with over 1500 centennial ancient trees hidden among 100,000 pine trees. The giant dragon-scale pines are majestic like flying dragons 🐉 This place is also the best-preserved Buddhist sacred site in Guangxi and one of the thirteen major Buddhist sacred sites in China. Longhua Temple, built during the Song Dynasty, has incense smoke curling up, the ancient temple stands tall and solemn, perfect for calming the mind. What I remember most is the Milk Spring, which never dries up in winter nor overflows in summer. The spring water is milky white, clear, and sweet. Many visitors lined up to collect water, and I took a sip—it’s truly sweet and refreshing! Nearby, you can also drink Xishan tea in the tea house. Tea planting started here in the Tang Dynasty, and monks use traditional methods to roast it. Brewed with Milk Spring water, it’s absolutely amazing 🍵 At the Half-Mountain Pavilion, there’s an interesting couplet: “Half-Mountain Pavilion, stop halfway up the mountain, don’t abandon halfway up the mountain.” The local government is offering a 50,000 yuan reward for the matching second line—poets, give it a try~ 🔸Old Eight Sceneries + New Eight Sceneries: Jin Tian Uprising Site, Dateng Gorge, Linghu Verdant Layers, Lianxi Waterfall... one day is not enough to explore them all!

Guangyue Zun Hotel, a new Zen holiday experience! — traveler post in Guiping

Guangyue Zun Hotel, a new Zen holiday experience!

Life is like the ocean; only those with strong will can reach the other shore. This weekend, I escaped the city's hustle and bustle with my wife and kids and came to Guiping, staying at Guangyue Zun Guiping Zen Hotel. The hotel's new Chinese Zen design truly impressed me, especially the attention to detail—it's a perfect blend of art and life. What surprised me the most was that as soon as I opened the window, I was greeted by lush greenery and picturesque mountain views, as if the whole world had quieted down. ✅ Location Nearby 🔹 It’s only a 10-minute drive from the hotel to Xishan Scenic Area, perfect for family travelers like us. 🔹 The hotel is about a 15-minute drive from Guiping Bus Center, making travel very convenient. 🔹 If you want to go a bit farther, like to Longtan National Forest Park, it’s just about a half-hour drive. 🔹 There are also wedding photography bases and barbecue spots nearby, suitable for friends with various interests. ✅ About the Rooms 🔹 We stayed in a family room, which was very spacious and fully met the needs of our family of four. 🔹 The room was equipped with comfortable lounge chairs and a tea table, making it feel as cozy as home. 🔹 Housekeeping staff cleaned daily, ensuring a tidy environment. 🔹 What I liked most was the big bed; I slept very well at night, and the kids had a great time playing. 👍 Overall, considering both the environment and service, this hotel is highly recommended for families with children. This weekend trip was truly worthwhile. You can feel the designer’s care in every detail of the hotel. When leaving, I really felt a bit reluctant. I hope to have the chance to come back here next time to enjoy this peace and beauty again.

The highway conditions are good, making it less tiring for kids during the ride.

Non-slip hiking shoes + thick socks + ear protection hat + waterproof gloves + scarf.

Winter has fewer tourists, so you can enjoy the scenery and take photos without crowds.

A Simple Trip to Panyong Valley, Guangyue Shang, Guiping — traveler post in Guiping

A Simple Trip to Panyong Valley, Guangyue Shang, Guiping

▶️Stayed at Guangyue Shang Panyong Valley Hotel (I prefer its previous name, Panyong Valley Yuejianli) ▶️Arrived at night, only stayed in the main building, and stayed in the most basic room type on the 2nd floor of the main building✨. The front desk and restaurant are on the first floor of the main building, so I thought the hotel was small🏢. ▶️The next day, I woke up and had breakfast, and found that there was more to the hotel behind the main building. I took a walk and found more advanced room types and suites. The environment was good👍✨, but many places were still under construction, which slightly affected the vacation experience. I heard that you can go stream tracing in the hotel, but the water is dry in winter. It should be very relaxing to come here next summer.😍 ▶️The basic room type is long enough but slightly narrow, but not small. There is a pool on the balcony🥰. The slippers are thick, which is good👌! The air conditioning is warm enough, so the quilt is thin but warm enough, so you don't have to worry about the cold✅. The curtains are very blackout. It is very quiet because it is at the foot of the mountain🎪. The construction site is a certain distance from the main building☀️, so I was not disturbed and woke up naturally😊✨. There are goodnight desserts, which is very thoughtful. There are activities from Monday to Saturday, so you can pay attention.🎪🍹 ▶️But the mattress and pillow are too soft, so I feel back and neck pain. The bathroom is only simply separated from wet and dry (only separated by a curtain). The hot water in my room is not hot enough✨. The toiletries are simple. Some facilities are old, especially the washbasin. The more advanced room types may be better equipped. So if you want to come for a vacation, the basic room type is not suitable☀️ ▶️I went to the night market in Guiping Shopping Mall at night and had a full meal. The fried bread and stew are delicious😍, and the nearby fruit stalls are cheap and fresh🍊. Before leaving, I drove to the foot of the mountain and had a bowl of tofu pudding. The Xishan Spring Water is good✅, and the tofu pudding is tender and smooth. The mineral water in the hotel is also delicious. I didn't climb the mountain this time✨, and there are many delicious foods I haven't tried. I will come to Guiping again!🎪👍

Guigang, Guangxi's stunning car campsite, rated 5C, the only one of its kind — traveler post in Guiping

Guigang, Guangxi's stunning car campsite, rated 5C, the only one of its kind

During my last trip to Guigang, Guangxi, I inspected some local car campsites. The environment and facilities were superb, and I liked them very much. However, I was somewhat surprised to find such a beautiful and high-quality car campsite hidden in the low-key Guigang. On the second night of our trip to Guigang, we stayed at the Xishanquan Car (RV) Camping Base. This car campsite is located at the foot of Xishan Mountain in Guiping, Guangxi, a national key scenic spot and a sacred place of Lingnan Buddhism. It boasts a unique and beautiful natural environment, making it very suitable for outdoor leisure vacations. The Xishanquan Car (RV) Camping Base is only 255 kilometers away from Nanning, the capital of Guangxi. It has a very advantageous geographical location, with numerous highways and several high-speed railways directly reaching it, providing efficient transportation across the country. The Xishanquan Car (RV) Camping Base is the first five-star car camping base in Guangxi that integrates outdoor sports, sightseeing tourism, leisure health, and vacation living. The base combines the terrain and local culture to create creative RV campsites, car motels, creek valley cabins, stargazing tents, luxury tents, wind chime cabins, and other diverse and personalized accommodation products to meet the vacation needs of different guest groups. The campsite emphasizes themes of freedom, openness, and challenge, offering a series of recreational and expansion projects such as hot air balloons, go-karts, jungle adventures, high and low rope courses, archery tag, bubble soccer, real-life CS battles, non-powered amusement parks, field cycling, and rock climbing. Staying here allows you to experience a unique way of travel and a relaxing and fun-filled vacation life. Strolling in the Xishanquan Car (RV) Camping Base, surrounded by mountains, you will find a tranquil environment with birds singing and flowers blooming. That night, I stayed in a car motel, where the car serves as a room, and the interior is like a star-rated hotel, fully equipped. The car motel has two rooms, making it very comfortable for a family of three. Outside the car motel, you are surrounded by green trees and birds chirping. During the day, you can frolic on the grass, and at night, you can sit around and chat. After enjoying a sumptuous dinner at the hotel restaurant, you can have a fragrant barbecue supper. The happiness of the vacation is always at its peak. After the supper, everyone danced around the bonfire, enjoying the pleasant nightlife. Finally, the wonderful day ended with a colorful fireworks display, feeling indescribably wonderful. "Stay" in the mountains and waters, "play" in the forests and fields. As the only "National 5C-level Self-driving Car and RV Campsite" in Guigang, Guangxi, the Xishanquan Car (RV) Camping Base is not only the best destination for self-driving and family trips but also a second living space for a short escape from the city. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city, in the quiet mountains and fields, under the vast starry sky, all that's missing is you! Everyone, come and "play"! Address: Bailan Village, Jinba Avenue, Xishan Town, Guiping City, Guigang City, Guangxi

Hiking at Beidishan in Pingnan, Guigang, really blew me away! It truly lives up to its reputation as the "Little Zhangjiajie of Guangxi" — traveler post in Guiping

Hiking at Beidishan in Pingnan, Guigang, really blew me away! It truly lives up to its reputation as the "Little Zhangjiajie of Guangxi"

🚗 Transportation: Self-driving There are tourist shuttle vans from the high-speed railway station to the attraction entrance, so a round-trip day trip by high-speed rail is totally doable. 💰 Attraction fees: Admission is CNY 110/person on the day, or CNY 100/person if booked online in advance, including round-trip shuttle service Glass skywalk: CNY 30/person Cable car: CNY 90/person for ascent, CNY 50/person for descent, or CNY 120/person for round trip Rafting: CNY 88 for half course, CNY 156 for full course Parking fee: CNY 10 🎒 Supplies to bring: Sun-protective clothing, sunscreen, sun hat, power bank, mosquito repellent, backpack, tissues, fruit, bread/snacks, and two bottles of water per person (water sold on the mountain is CNY 5/bottle) 📍 My route: Hengzhou City → Guigang City → Guiping City → Pingnan County → Beidishan Departing from Hengzhou, I chose a route that was half highway and half provincial road → county road → township road to save on tolls. The total distance was 199 km, taking 2 hours and 45 minutes. It took half an hour longer than taking the full highway + township road route, but I saved CNY 52 on tolls. The provincial road conditions after leaving Guiping City were average, with many speed cameras and heavy trucks, making it hard to speed up. However, you pass by Jintian, so if you leave early, you can stop by to see the Jintian Uprising site of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is a 4A-rated attraction. Inside Pingnan County, there is a scenic road with amazing views where you can slow down to take photos and videos 📸. Compared to the average provincial road earlier, this felt like a reward after the struggle, with beautiful scenery that offered a better visual experience than driving on the highway ✨. 🧗 I came here specifically for the hiking! The shuttle takes you to the trailhead. After passing the mountain gate, there's a platform with a stream that splits into left and right paths. We hiked up the left side, which is longer with many stairs. Most of it is shaded, so it wasn't too sunny, but it was exhausting 😮‍💨. We stopped and sat on the stairs to rest eight or ten times along the way, sweating buckets. It felt like a slow, inefficient climb, but we actually reached the summit in just two hours, which is faster than the times I saw online. This might be because the Wenchang Pavilion section was closed, so we couldn't go up there. The view from the top is vast, with peaks standing like sword sheaths. The cliffside walkways are all interconnected, so you don't have to worry about missing scenery or backtracking ⛰️. Keep an eye on the time once you're up there; don't miss the high-altitude performance! If I thought the CNY 100 ticket was too expensive before going up, after seeing it, the scenery is worth 60 and the performance is worth 40 👏. We spent nearly two hours exploring all the walkways, platforms, and pavilions on the mountain and watching the performance. Personally, I don't think the glass skywalk is worth the extra money; the route and scenery are the same as the regular walkways. You pay extra to walk the same path, and it's even shorter than the regular walkway 😅. If you're afraid of heights, the regular walkways are just as scary, and if you're not, even the transparent ones aren't that thrilling. We took the right-hand route down, which is shorter and shaded the whole way. We rested three or four times and reached the mountain gate in less than an hour, but my legs were really shaking 🦵. Overall, it took two hours to hike up, one hour to hike down, and one or two hours to leisurely explore the top. The scenery is magnificent—it truly lives up to the name "Little Zhangjiajie of Guangxi"! Next time I go, I'm definitely taking the cable car 😂.

Autumn near Chengdu: Hiking Mount Tianma (Pengzhou) 🍂 — traveler post in Guiping

Autumn near Chengdu: Hiking Mount Tianma (Pengzhou) 🍂

A truly wild trail on Mount Tianma in Pengzhou that we’ve put off for far too long. Ready for a trek that requires "four-wheel drive" (scrambling) and nerves of steel? Fair warning: there are sections with narrow rock ledges and rope railings. This is not for beginners! 🗺 Route Details and Trip Report We tackled the small loop clockwise, and it was intense: 🔺 Ascent: A relentless climb. The path weaves through tractor tracks, coniferous forests, and rocky trails—the landscape shifts incredibly fast. In clear weather, the visibility is insane: piercing blue skies, lush green canopies, and sheer cliffs. 🔻 Descent: The real "surprise" was waiting after the summit. Instead of a leisurely stroll down, it was a relentless slip-and-slide through thick mud. Our boots were caked in clay with every step, turning the descent into a full-body workout as we balanced on the edge of falling. 📊 The Stats: The small loop covered about 7.6 km and took a full 5 hours, including frequent rest stops. 📍 Navigation: Set your map destination to the Dawan Village Party-Mass Service Center (大湾村村委会). 🎒 Essential Tips for Hikers: 1. For Experts Only: If you are a beginner or afraid of heights and steep slopes, it is best to skip this one. 2. Self-Sufficiency: There are no shops on the trail. Pack plenty of water and snacks. 3. Safety First: Be sure to download offline maps and stick to the marked trail (look for the ribbon markers along the route). 📍 Location & Getting There: Mount Tianma Hiking (Pengzhou) 🏙 City/Region: Sichuan Province, Pengzhou (near Chengdu, in the foothills of the Longmen Mountains). 🚗 How to Get There: 1. By Car (Recommended): 🛣 Route: From Chengdu, take the Cheng-Peng Expressway (成彭高速) toward Pengzhou, then head through the city toward the mountains (via local villages in the Longmenshan/Pengzhou area). The drive from central Chengdu takes about 1.5–2 hours (approx. 70–80 km). 🅿️ GPS Point (Start/Parking): Input the exact address of the service center: Dawan Village Party-Mass Service Center (大湾村村委会). ⚠️ Note: The final stretch consists of rural and backroads, so a vehicle with decent ground clearance (a crossover or SUV) is highly recommended. 2. Public Transport + Taxi: 🚆 Take a high-speed train from Chengdu Railway Station or Chengdu Pidu to Pengzhou Station (approx. 30 mins). 🚕 From Pengzhou Station, take a taxi (DiDi) directly to the trailhead at Dawan Village. This leg takes another 40–50 minutes. Since it is hard to hail a ride back from such a remote mountain area, it is best to arrange a return trip with your driver in advance or book one ahead of time via apps.

Xishan Scenic Area

Last weekend I spent the whole day at Xishan Mountain in Guiping. The hiking trails were well-maintained and easy to walk on, with many ancient trees along the way providing good shade. The spring water on the mountain was especially sweet and refreshing; I filled a bottle and drank it. The food stalls halfway up the mountain were reasonably priced, and I had a bowl of local rice noodles that tasted authentic. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations.

Longtan National Forest Park

The monkeys were quite fierce. On the way, they picked my bag to find food. We drove by ourselves all the way. There were few places to visit. I was a little disappointed. Because of the weather, I didn't experience rafting. There were also few places to play in the water.

Baishi Mountain

Climbing the winding mountain path, the gray-blue cliffs of Baishi Mountain gleamed coldly in the morning light, and wild grasses sprouting from the crevices were glistening with dew. Reaching the viewing platform halfway up the mountain, the wind carried the scent of grass and trees. Looking down, the city of Guiping was shrouded in a thin mist, and the Yu River in the distance resembled a silver ribbon. The mountainside caves were cool and shady, and the cliff carvings on the walls bore the marks of time; you could feel the rough texture when you touched them with your fingertips. On the way down, wildflowers swayed by the roadside, and my trousers were covered in bits of grass. I was immersed in the freshness of the mountains, even my breath carrying the faint fragrance of pine needles.

Tropic of Cancer Symbol Park

The Tropic of Cancer is a circle of latitudes north of the equator. It is also the limit of the sun's vertical illumination of the northern hemisphere. At noon on the summer solstice, the sun shines directly on it, and a vertical pole casts no shadow. After the summer solstice, the direct sunlight gradually moves southward. As spring comes and goes, the sun shines directly here again, causing the four seasons of heat and coolness. This is what is meant by "return". The Tropic of Cancer is the astronomical dividing line between the tropics and the northern temperate zone. The Tropic of Cancer is of great significance in scientific research fields such as astronomy, geography, meteorology, agriculture and ecology. This sign covers an area of ​​2,462 square meters and is 172 meters high. It is the first Tropic of Cancer sign in Guangxi.
