Things to do in Pingguo

A regular ticket is sufficient, as you'll find that there's simply not enough time to visit the paid attractions if you go at midday. Also, you must bring a film camera next to the Fast sign. It must be a battery-free film camera with manual metering. If possible, bring your own film, as film cameras at the attraction aren't cheap—300 yuan for 36 exposures.

Good good ...

The exhibits are plentiful, concentrated on the second and third floors, but unfortunately, the museum doesn't limit visitor numbers, making it impossible to sit still and appreciate them at a leisurely pace. I suggest following the example of other provincial museums and changing the reservation system to two-hour time slots—limiting the number of visitors would significantly improve the experience. Also, the smell of recent renovations in some exhibition halls is quite strong.

San Niang Bay is a low-key yet stunning national AAAA-level scenic area in Guangxi, renowned as the "Hometown of the Chinese White Dolphin." Here, azure seas and golden sands abound, uniquely shaped rocks abound, and the original fishing village exudes charm, blending culture and nature seamlessly. The highlight is the opportunity to take a speedboat out to sea for a chance to encounter the rare Chinese white dolphins; with luck, you might even spot a dreamy pink one. The sand is fine, the water clear, and at low tide, you can go beachcombing and collect shells. The Tianya Stone and San Niang Stone offer incredibly photogenic views. The area is not heavily commercialized, and the seafood is fresh and affordable, making it ideal for leisure vacations, family trips, and dolphin watching—a hidden gem in the Beibu Gulf for secluded seaside experiences.

It's my country's only world-class intangible cultural heritage site featuring rock paintings. The tour guide's explanations were excellent, and the souvenirs sold on the cruise ship didn't increase in price. A highly recommended attraction! 👍

Starting point: Exit F of Chaoyang Square Metro Station → Nanning Historical Museum. The facade of the Republican-era Western-style building is very photogenic. It was closed the day I visited, so I could only take pictures of the exterior. Next, I visited the Deng Yingchao Memorial Hall, City God Temple, Jinshi Lane Ancient Residences, Lijiang Academy, Yinshi Lane Oil-paper Umbrella Street, Zhonghua Grand Theater, and Xingning Road Arcade. The retro facades and neon signs created a fantastic atmosphere. After that, I went to Changyou Pavilion to see the Yongjiang River view. If you're just casually strolling around, an hour should be enough. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the area, and you could easily spend half a day there.

Absolutely fantastic, beautiful, and a must-see scenic spot! We visited Xiaoqikong on the first day and Daqikong on the second. It was the most satisfying scenic spot of our trip to Guizhou, and I highly recommend it!

The driver was very professional and drove very steadily. He listened to us the whole time, giving us a lot of freedom in our itinerary. The guide was also excellent; he even took us back to get our bags once we forgot them. Five stars!

I went in September. The last boat left at 4:30 PM. The staff said they only let boats depart for groups of eight or more, and although we only had four people, they still let us go – a huge thumbs up! It was like having the boat to ourselves. The round trip was 80 minutes, and the scenery along the way was absolutely stunning. There were natural beauties passing through canyons, as well as idyllic rural landscapes along the way. It rivals the scenery of Guilin and is definitely worth a visit. Take 1-2 hours to explore.

On behalf of this child, I'd like to thank the coaches who accompanied us today: Brother Ashun, Qiqi, Lazy Yangyang, and Qingyun. Their service was excellent; they deserve special praise and a raise!
