The Charm of Jingxi, Guangxi

China's greenest grand canyon and the highest single-level waterfall in Asia, the Tongling Grand Canyon scenic area is long and narrow with deep caves, a beautiful scar on the earth. The canyon is home to more than two thousand rare ancient plants. Inside the canyon, there are deep caves with various strangely shaped stalactites on the walls and ceilings, primitive forests that block out the sky, and natural landscapes such as pastoral scenery that blend with cultural landscapes. The valley is lush, the stream water babbles, and the entire canyon is filled with a refreshing aura. It features a waterfall that is 188.6 meters high and 30 meters wide, the highest single-level waterfall discovered in Southeast Asia to date, with a majestic presence that astonishes and amazes, earning it the reputation of 'the greenest grand canyon in the world'. The Gulong Mountain canyon group has rich and unique tourism resources. The landscape of 'one water running through three gorges and three mountains' is known as 'a unique wonder under heaven'. The three wonders of the Gulong Cave: 'carp spouting jade', 'golden dragon spitting pearls', and 'child's kung fu pee', are breathtaking! Gulong Mountain Grand Canyon - China's most magical primitive ecological natural park. The 'Hometown of Hydrangea' and 'Birthplace of the Wa Family' - Old State, formerly known as Guishun State (now Jingxi), was located 8 kilometers from Jingxi City. Known for its strange mountains and beautiful waters, it is a microcosm of Jingxi's scenery. It integrates resources such as landscapes, historical culture, and ethnic customs, and is a nationally famous hometown of hydrangea. People blend their wisdom and emotions into these naturally perfect hydrangeas. It is the hometown of the famous anti-Japanese heroine 'Madam Wa', and has many cultural relics such as the tomb garden of Zhang Tianzong, a general under Wen Tianxiang, the ancient tombs of the Cen Tusi, and the famous Hydrangea Street, known as the 'living museum of the Zhuang people'. Quyang Lake, located 28 kilometers north of Jingxi City. The green mountains, like affectionate young girls, tenderly embrace the clear and mirror-like Quyang Lake, dressing up with abandon. The lake is symmetrical from south to north, surrounded by mountains and water, with clear water, forest-like peaks, vast misty waves on the water surface, isolated islands scattered like stars, and bamboo groves and Zhuang villages embellishing it, creating a charming landscape where mountains and water reflect each other. One of the three famous springs in Southwest China, Goose Spring, also known as Ling Spring, now called Goose Spring Scenic Area, is the source of Asia's largest transnational waterfall - Detian Waterfall, located 6 kilometers south of Jingxi City. The water of Goose Spring never dries up throughout the seasons and is as clear as a mirror. The surrounding peaks are like screens, the countryside is like a tapestry, and the scenery is picturesque. Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, upon learning of the spiritual beauty of the mountains and rivers here, bestowed the name 'Ling Spring Evening Glow'. Goose Spring has been known since ancient times for the touching legend of Yang's nurturing of the divine goose, and there is a saying about the Goose Spring Festival 'Goose Spring Carp Leaping Three Layers of Waves'. Mr. Guan Shanyue, a famous Chinese painter, once visited Goose Spring and wrote an inscription: 'Carp leaping in the goose pond'.
