Reviews from Real Guests:

luckyone113: It's so impressive. Very nice mountain with a lots of scenery. A lot of walking but it's worth every single steps. You can take the bus ride but you won't be able to see everything that it had to offers. I was there for about 7 hours and I enjoyed every minute of it. It's a must visit place if you are in Nanning.
