Hidden in northern Guangxi, the underground wonder of Luocheng Cotton Sinkhole!

Luocheng Cotton Sinkhole is a "subterranean paradise" of karst landforms 🕳️, with a vertical depth of over 326 meters. At the bottom of the sinkhole lies a primeval forest, cave waterfalls, and thrilling high-altitude activities—enough to keep you entertained all day without repetition! Best season 🌞: Spring and autumn (March-May, September-November) offer comfortable weather, lush greenery, and moderate temperature differences inside the caves; summer is perfect for cooling off, with the bottom of the sinkhole over 10°C cooler than the surface; winter is quiet with fewer visitors, and occasional mist creates a fairyland atmosphere. Transportation guide 🚗🚌: Driving is the most convenient option—1.5 hours from Hechi, 2.5 hours from Liuzhou; there are dedicated shuttle buses from Luocheng County, costing 20 yuan and taking 40 minutes; if not driving, take the high-speed train to Luocheng Station, then a 30-minute taxi ride to the scenic area. Tickets and activities 🎫: The core scenic area pass is very cost-effective, including sinkhole sightseeing and cave exploration. Must-try activities: walk the high-altitude glass plank road clinging to the cliff 📸, with a hundred-meter abyss beneath your feet for an adrenaline rush; take the vertical sightseeing elevator straight to the bottom, stroll through the primeval forest to breathe fresh air 🌳; explore the caves formed over thousands of years, with stunningly diverse stalactite shapes. For the physically fit, hiking the mountain trail around the sinkhole offers a spectacular panoramic view! Food and accommodation 🍲🏡: Be sure to try Luocheng Mulao ethnic sour meat, rice noodles, and fragrant duck—sour and appetizing, perfect with rice; the scenic area has specialty Mulao restaurants, and the county’s guesthouses offer great value. For a deeper experience, stay at countryside inns near the scenic area, where you can see greenery right outside your window. Tips ⚠️: The caves are damp and slippery, so wear non-slip shoes; there is a big temperature difference between the bottom and the surface, so bring a light jacket; high-altitude activities have height and weight restrictions, so check in advance; avoid shooting photos in the strong midday light—early morning or late afternoon light creates beautiful shadows in the sinkhole ✨!
