[2025 Hechi Attraction] Travel guide for Hechi Small Three Gorges (updated Dec)

It turns out that the small city of Hechi hides world-class beauty. The Hechi Little Three Gorges, with its natural blue waves and sparkling waters, combines the majestic Three Gorges of the Yangtze River with the beauty of the Li River in Guilin. The underwater dream world is within reach. Sailing on the Longjiang River, the source of which is in Libo, we headed to the secluded Zhuang village of Mengguzhai. I wonder what kind of life the three families in the valley lead. Location: Jinchengjiang District, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Transportation: The most convenient high-speed rail is Hechi West Station. There is also Hechi Airport, which is known as one of the “Top Ten Dangerous Airports in the World”. You can take bus No. 18 to the scenic spot, and then transfer to a local vehicle after arriving at Liujia Town. Key point: Figure 1 The back of Tianmen Gorge, when there is no wind, the reflection is in the shape of a butterfly, which is the most beautiful

Accidentally stepping into the karst landscape scroll of Hechi✨ Passing through Hechi, all you see is the masterpiece of karst landforms, with clustered peak forests in countless shapes. Having heard of the fame of the Little Three Gorges, and following the travel motto "since we're here," I decisively checked it out! After getting off the highway, the mountain road is rugged, and the parking lot and ticket office of the scenic area have a somewhat rustic and casual feel, with slightly insufficient planning. After purchasing tickets, you need to take the scenic area shuttle bus inside and then transfer to a boat. The old shuttle bus seats are full of traces of time, and the boat runs about once every 1.5 hours, so patiently waiting brings surprises. Taking the boat through Tianmen Gorge, Liangfeng Gorge, and Longmen Gorge, the thousand mountains and deep valleys on both sides are layered and towering, the river surface ripples with emerald waves, and the reflections of the strange peaks sway with the waves. The breeze brushes your face, filling you with refreshing comfort, and all the travel fatigue turns into a state of relaxation and delight at this moment～

China County Tourism Ranking 81: Hechi City, Guangxi Province Hechi area is the poorest region in Guangxi, bordering Qiannan Prefecture in Guizhou. It is basically a karst landscape, with several counties under its jurisdiction including Bama, Nandan, Fengshan, Dahua, and Luocheng, all of which have outstanding attractions. Hechi city is composed of two districts: Jinchengjiang and Yizhou. The city government was originally located in Jinchengjiang but later moved to Yizhou District. The two urban areas are 70 kilometers apart, which is quite unusual. Main attractions in Yizhou District include the hometown of Liu Sanjie (4A), Huaiyuan Ancient Town (4A), Huixian Mountain (4A), Lalang Ecotourism Area (4A), Xiajian River Tourist Area, and others such as Xiangbei Township’s Peach Blossom Land, Xiaolong Village, Nanshe Mountain, and Xizhu Temple. In Jinchengjiang District, there are the Little Three Gorges Scenic Area, Longjiang First Bend, and Jinchengjiang Park. Yizhou District Attractions: 1: Hometown of Liu Sanjie, 4A scenic area, ticket price 50 yuan, recommendation rating: 2 stars, not recommended. This is Yizhou’s flagship attraction but also the least recommended. The scenic area has built three simple houses representing Liu Sanjie, Brother Aniu, and the matchmaker, calling it a scenic spot and charging 50 yuan for admission. The problem is they are not satisfied with just the 50 yuan ticket; there are no buses from the city about ten kilometers away, so you have to take a taxi. Of course, you can also go from the city center by buying a boat ticket at Fengjing Park. However, 50 yuan is not enough; if you pay 148 yuan, it’s for good luck. The scenic area can definitely be toured in ten minutes. If you want to listen to mountain songs and worship Liu Sanjie, you can stay for half an hour. I have never understood what worshiping Liu Sanjie is supposed to protect us from. The reason for giving 2 stars is that the scenery from the boat is okay. 2: Huaiyuan Ancient Town: 4A scenic area, free admission, recommendation rating: 3 stars, suggested visit time: 1 hour. The ancient town is quite ordinary and has become mixed-use. The scenery by the town is really nice. It’s worth a visit in Yizhou, at least better than the imitation ancient towns, and can be considered a semi-ecological ancient town. 3: Xiangbei Township’s Peach Blossom Land: free, recommendation rating: 4.5 stars, suggested visit time: one day. The reason for the 4.5-star rating is not just this one attraction. The route from the city to Xiangbei Township includes Xiangbei Township, Dashuiche (big waterwheel), Gulong River rafting, Xiaolong Village, and Xiajian River Tourist Area, among other rural attractions. This route is actually the essence of Yizhou tourism. 4: Huixian Mountain (Bailong Park), 4A scenic area, no admission fee. Recommendation rating: 2 stars, suggested visit time: 2 hours. Climbing Huixian Mountain offers a view of the city. Of course, Nanshe Mountain in the city can also be used for viewing. Other places like Nanshe Mountain, Xizhu Temple, Fengjing Park, and Xiqian Square are not worth visiting. So, for Yizhou, it is recommended to tour the line from Xiajian River to Xiangbei Township and Huaiyuan Ancient Town. Below are attractions in Jinchengjiang District: 5: Little Three Gorges Scenic Area: 3A scenic area, ticket price 90 yuan, recommendation rating: 2.5 stars, suggested visit time: 2 hours. The Little Three Gorges Scenic Area mainly involves boat tours. Such scenery is common in the south, so the cost performance is average. It’s not a rip-off but not great either. It’s not as good as the free Longjiang First Bend nearby. 6: Longjiang First Bend: free, recommendation rating: 3 stars, suggested visit time: 1.5 hours. Located in Liujia Town, very close to the Little Three Gorges Scenic Area, so you can visit both together. 7: Jinchengjiang Park: free, not recommended. If you need to spend a day and a half in Yizhou, a day is enough to visit the Little Three Gorges and Longjiang First Bend in Jinchengjiang. Overall, the experience in Hechi city scores 48 points. Although there are many complaints, the area has a strong foundation. Among 81 counties and cities for in-depth tourism, it ranks 21st, belonging to the second-tier mid-level scenic areas. Its overall tourability is slightly inferior to Guangyuan City in Sichuan but better than Shangrao City in Jiangxi. The next article will introduce a county with underestimated tourism resources: Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County, Hechi City, Guangxi.

Photography Tips - Golden hours: 9–11 AM for peacock-blue waters under direct sunlight; 6–7 PM for sunset-lit cliffs. - Best shots: Use HDR on your phone to capture "sky window light beams," wide-angle shots of the "seven-star" sky windows from the viewpoint, or silhouette shots at Feilong Cave’s entrance. 6. Important Notes - Crowds: Arrive early during peak seasons (e.g., Labor Day, National Day) to avoid long queues. - Hiking gear: Wear non-slip shoes (caves are wet) and bring mosquito repellent in summer. - Eco-rules: No smoking, littering, or swimming in the underground river (protected area). - Drones: Obtain permission from management before flying.

Listen up, everyone! I just got back from Guangxi's "Semporna," and I almost cried after being scammed by a rogue tour guide at Jiudun Tianchuang.😤 I stayed up all night to compile this list of real-life pitfalls. Read it and save yourself ¥1,000! 🚗 Transportation traps ❌ Don't believe the "¥2,000 for a four-day Nanning car rental" lie! The actual deposit starts at ¥3,000 + ¥80/day for scratch insurance. High-speed rail + bus is a much better option (Nanning East → Jinchengjiang Station, then transfer to the scenic spot shuttle bus). ❌ Don't drive to Sanmenhai! The parking lot is a 2 km gravel road from the pier. My flip-flops were destroyed.😭 🌊 Optimized itinerary (original itinerary + scam avoidance tips) DAY 1: Jiudun Tianchuang ✅ Hidden gem: Paddleboarding at 4pm! The slanting sunlight reveals the 12-meter underwater caves (Don't rent a transparent boat! The underwater reflections will ruin your photos). ⚠️ Danger warning: There are undercurrents at the edge of the water flower fields! Turn back 50 meters from the Tianchuang cave entrance (Don't be like me and almost get sucked in😱). DAY 2: Longjiang First Bay → Muluojia Small Three Gorges ✅ Northern Xinjiang alternative: Bring a CPL polarizing filter to capture reflections at Boundary Marker 836! Otherwise, the water's reflection will make your photos unrecognizable. ⚠️ Cliffside walkway scam: The bamboo raft challenge to the 460-meter walkway costs an extra ¥80! It's actually only 200 meters before it's blocked by an iron gate (I asked the boatman for a refund, and he said, "You didn't ask"💢). DAY 3: Sanmenhai ✅ Emerald green photography tip: It costs ¥20 to ask the tour guide to use their flashlight! Bring your own high-power flashlight for the same effect. ⚠️ Blue Cave danger zone: Don't stand on the right side of the boat when passing through the Tianchuang! The dripping water from the rock wall can soak your clothes in half an hour (Don't ask how I know😭). 📸 Photography fails ⚠️ You need to fly 500 meters high to capture the U-shaped bend at Longjiang First Bay! The no-fly zone sign at the pier is tiny (My drone was almost confiscated). ✅ Secret photo spot: Wait for a cargo ship to pass by at Muluojia Tianmen Gorge! Use a 200mm telephoto lens to capture the "light boat has passed ten thousand mountains" effect. 🍜 Food recommendations ❌ Yao long table banquet ¥150/person = 5 cold dishes + 1 chicken! It's better to go to Liu Jia Town for the ¥28 all-you-can-eat sour pork. ✅ Must-try: Zhuang five-color glutinous rice—choose the one dyed black with maple leaves! It's 10 times better with diced sausage than the sweet version. ✅ Secret code: Tell the villagers "I want freshly caught" to get authentic grilled river fish (¥25 for dead fish, ¥40 for live fish). 💡 Survival guide 1️⃣ Bring water shoes! The pebbles at Jiudun Tianchuang are incredibly slippery. 2️⃣ Bring cash! There's no signal at all in the Sanmenhai scenic area (You can't even scan a QR code to buy a sausage). 3️⃣ Wear bright clothes! Wearing black in the caves makes you invisible in photos. 4️⃣ Beware of "freelance photographers"! The ¥5/photo is actually a Photoshopped template (They put my face on someone else's body😤). It's water flower season! Save this guide and tag your adventure buddies!🌿 The next post will be "Guangxi's hidden waterfall scam guide."

✨Explore the beautiful Xiaosanxia in Hechi, Guangxi!🌊A hidden gem you don't want to miss! 🎉Hi, I'm your travel expert!👋 Today, I'm going to introduce you to a hidden gem in Guangxi - Xiaosanxia in Hechi! 🏞️Located in Donglan County, Hechi City, Guangxi, about 200 km from the city center, it's easy to get to by car or bus! 🌈Xiaosanxia is a section of the Hongshui River, known as the "No. 1 Gorge in the South" and the "No. 1 Karst Landscape in the World."

I wanted to find a place with less scenery and beautiful scenery to go to Banwei. I have been to well-known cities such as Guilin and Beihai. I accidentally discovered Hechi, a niche tourist destination💨, and planned to go there. This time we took a niche route and chose it. Some less crowded and comfortable spots! 💚【Hechi Small Three Gorges】 We first went to the Little Three Gorges in Hechi and took a boat on the blue waves. The water surface reflected the blue sky, white clouds and mountain shadows. The scenery on both sides of the river in front of us was constantly changing, sometimes narrow and steep, sometimes open and flat. 🌳Green mountains confront each other and strange peaks line up. This is probably the magnificent scene between mountains and rivers. The ticket includes the boat ticket and the shuttle bus. The whole journey takes 90 minutes🕘. It is recommended to take the boat in the afternoon as the light and scenery will be relatively beautiful. 💚【Nandan Hot Spring♨】 After coming out of the Little Three Gorges, I went straight to the hot springs! It should be very comfortable to soak in the hot springs in this weather. ♨The hot spring we are going to is actually in a hotel, it is a hot spring hotel. This hotel is a hot spring hotel built on a mine. Each room will have an independent private hot spring bath, so if you don’t want to go to the public hot spring pool, you can soak in the room by yourself! The public hot spring is on the mountain, between the green bamboos. There are many pools with different temperatures🏞. Looking at the distant mountains, you can feel dazed in the hot spring pool. It is quiet and comfortable. It is so comfortable. The smell has been removed successfully! 💚【Yao Wang Tianxia】 This scenic spot is about half an hour's drive from the hotel. There are 3 scenic spots in it, namely Ge Yasi Valley, Dongtian Shengjing and Baiku Yao Village. The whole tour takes about 3 hours🕘. Personally, I think the Cave Heaven is more interesting. The combination of underground rivers and canyon caves makes it feel like experiencing an adventure in the center of the earth. 🟡The approximate itinerary is: Departing first, we went to Hechi Xiaosanxia - stayed at Nandan Hot Spring Hotel - and went to Yaowang Tianxia the next day, 💫2 days and 1 night, I felt good that I was not very tired, and I was not a special soldier.

| It is no exaggeration to say that it is the ceiling of Guangxi's landscape! . The natural scenery of Hechi is so picturesque. The Little Three Gorges is a wonderland of peaks and forests, there are natural caves that can be driven by cars, the jelly water skylight with sea lettuce flowers looks like Monet's garden, the first bay of the Hongshui River, the blue knife fish storm in the Hongshui River... I can only use the word "shocking" to describe Guangxi's secret place on earth, but unfortunately the time was too short, I have to come again next time! Hechi Little Three Gorges

When the opposite ship comes, the situation of greeting each other is very enthusiastic. Liangfengxia is a wind vent, the wind is strong, and it is a bit cold when the temperature is not high. In fact, the scenery at the pier is very good. There is a 460-meter viewing plank road around the pier, which can be simply walked and played, and it is also very out of the picture.

Hechi Little Three Gorges, with its clear blue waters and shimmering waves, combines the majesty of the Yangtze River Three Gorges with the beauty of the Li River in Guilin.

| Xiaosankxia accidentally walked into a landscape painting. I accidentally walked into a landscape painting. The beauty cannot be described in words. Every frame and every picture is so beautiful.

Pay attention to sun protection, swimming and paddleboarding are easy to get sunburned, remember to reapply sunscreen in time🧴, there are no lifeguards on site, please take care of your children👶.

Guangxi Culture and Tourism, how many treasures do you have hidden yet to be revealed? As a native of Guangxi, I didn’t know Hechi was so beautiful! ‼ ️ And the whole tour experience of the Little Three Gorges is simply amazing👍 1️⃣ The whole journey was very comfortable with shuttle buses and boats, especially friendly to the elderly and children🌹 2️⃣ The scenery is picturesque, with three canyons in total: ✅ Tianmen Gorge is magnificent, as shown in Figure 1. It is very suitable for taking photos. When the weather is good, you can also take pictures of the "butterfly" reflection in the water; ✅ Liangfeng Gorge perfectly illustrates the saying “after many twists and turns, you may think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you will find another village”, which is full of novelty! ✅ Longmen Gorge is full of jagged rocks and the sound of monkeys crying on both sides of the gorge; ✅ Finally, there is a section of "Lijiang Pastoral Scenery", which instantly gave me the feeling of traveling to the Yulong River😍. It can be said that "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Guangxi is Guilin everywhere"! ‼ ️ 3️⃣ Free professional guides are provided to answer all your questions, which is great. This is a truly valid ticket! ‼ ️👍It is worth learning from other scenic spots in Guangxi❗️ 🎫 Tickets are 0 yuan, shuttle bus is 10 yuan, boat ticket is 80 yuan, and senior citizens are half price. Overall, the cost performance is still very high. I have strongly recommended it to my relatives and friends. It is worth a visit for friends passing by Hechi.
