Located on the Guichun River on the China-Vietnam border in Detian Village, Shuolong Town, Daxin County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi Province, this waterfall connects with Ban Gioc Waterfall in Vietnam, forming one of Asia's premier transnational waterfall clusters. The waterfall is over 200 meters wide, with a drop of over 70 meters, cascading in three tiers. Year-round, it creates a powerful and awe-inspiring spectacle of mist rising into the air. The scenic area is a national 5A-level attraction with comprehensive facilities, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty and cultural heritage of this border region.
The scenic area isn't large; you can take the shuttle bus from the entrance and walk through it in less than two hours. Going in before 10 AM will result in fewer people. A separate ticket is required to take the bamboo raft to see the waterfall; otherwise, it's free. The view of the waterfall up close on the bamboo raft is truly spectacular and worth the money. The view from the observation deck is completely different from that on the bamboo raft.

Spectacular! The power and roar of Huangguoshu are unforgettable. Walking behind the waterfall is a must-do. Book tickets in advance to save time. Highly recommended!
Upon arriving at Huangguoshu, I realized it was a group of waterfalls. Having already walked past two, I was exhausted from running up and down, and by the time I reached the most famous main waterfall, I was completely out of breath. Before even seeing the waterfall, I heard its thunderous roar and saw the mist rising from it. Rounding a bend, wow! Such a magnificent waterfall! Compared to any other waterfall I'd seen before, its sheer grandeur truly lived up to my expectations of what China's premier waterfall should be!

The off-season in Libo offers a comfortable travel experience. From the high-speed rail station, a direct shuttle bus to the East Gate costs 10 yuan. First, visit Xiaoqikong Scenic Area, then take the shuttle bus back to the West Gate. The entire trip can be leisurely and doesn't require much walking; a relaxed 4-hour visit is usually sufficient.
Xiaoqikong, the "Emerald of the Earth," truly lives up to its name! The waters of Wolongtan are a vibrant turquoise, like a jewel, and the spray from the cascading waterfall is breathtaking. The ancient Xiaoqikong Bridge spans the azure waters, its moss-covered stones making every snapshot a postcard-perfect scene. Laya Waterfall is just a stone's throw away, a natural oxygen bar with pristine mountains and clear waters, definitely worth a special trip.

Xiao Mo, the housekeeper, was very helpful and picked us up directly at the entrance of the scenic area. Since we had booked a travel photography session in advance, she thoughtfully took us to the shop in case we couldn't find our way. The environment was quite nice, just the style I liked. In the evening, the ladies around the bonfire were very enthusiastic in helping me take photos, which touched me deeply. I would definitely extend my stay next time I have the chance!
Off-season, fewer people, peaceful and nice, just the mountain roads were too difficult to walk, so tiring! I walked 20,000 steps a day and still didn't do much sightseeing. The scenery was still quite breathtaking at first glance.

Qingxiu Mountain is both a five-star scenic area and the Nanning Botanical Garden, absolutely gorgeous! It's bursting with flowers this season! It's also incredibly clean and tidy, with tasteful garden design. The park is quite large; you could easily spend a day or two exploring it. The Monet Garden, in particular, is absolutely enchanting; it's probably the only replica of its kind in China! 👍👍👍 Overall, it definitely ranks among the top parks in China. The entrance fee is only 20 yuan, a wonderful surprise and a real benefit for both locals and tourists! 👍👍👍
The scenery is fantastic, with panoramic views from the top and plenty of fun to take photos along the way; a great choice for light outdoor activities. The lantern festival at night is also lovely, with a rich variety of plants.

As the saying goes, "There's no other cave like Zhijin Cave," you have to see it for yourself to know how breathtaking it is. It's best to bring a bottle of water and a thermos. The walk takes about 2 hours.
There weren't many people in the afternoon, and you can spend one to two hours exploring the cave. The many giant stalactites are truly spectacular. There are quite a few steps, so even elderly people can walk up them slowly.

This is a very nice five-star ancient town scenic area in Guizhou Province. There's a 10 yuan entrance fee, which doesn't include a few smaller, paid attractions inside. It's very popular and convenient for both self-driving and independent travelers, with several parking lots available at reasonable prices. Inside, there's an ancient city wall, also known as the Great Wall, which you can walk around the entire town (it's a bit strenuous). You can also climb to the top of the wall for photos and panoramic views. There's a wide variety of snacks. It's best to spend at least four hours there, as it's quite large. The ancient town has several gates, each with its own parking lot. In short, this is a highly recommended ancient town, as it has unique features compared to other ancient towns…
You can choose to use public transportation to visit Qingyan Ancient Town. We took Metro Line 3 from Guiyang and then transferred to bus 203 to get there. The ancient town is more commercialized than when I visited a few years ago, but it's still a great place to stroll around, eat, take kids, and take photos. It has history, culture, nature, and people. 🫰

It's worth a visit. Although it consists of some strangely shaped rocks, it's really interesting! The Huaxi strawberries sold at the entrance are so sweet! And the handmade fridge magnets made by the景区 owner are also quite unique.
The stones inside are quite abstract. Perhaps because it was winter, there weren't many people, and many areas were still under repair and development. It's not really worth a trip just for this place, especially for tourists from other areas. It's rather small; you can see everything in less than half an hour.

This canyon scenic area isn't very large, making it suitable for self-driving or chartered tours. There are two entrances/exits, and currently both sides of the canyon are open for exploration. Sometimes only one side is open, so it's recommended to avoid peak tourist season. A typical visit takes about two and a half hours. One entrance/exit is Xiaoqingshan, which requires walking to the bottom of the canyon, but the distance doesn't seem far. The other entrance/exit is Dachaiwo, which has a direct paid elevator, but it's about a 200-meter walk from the scenic area entrance to the elevator. The ground distance between the two entrances/exits isn't far either. If you're driving, you can park in the scenic area's paid parking lot. If the parking lot is full, you can park for free on the mountain road outside the scenic area. To save energy, it's recommended to enter from the Xiaoqingshan entrance and return from the Dachaiwo exit by elevator. If both sides of the canyon are open, you'll need to plan your tour route carefully, considering which entrance/exit to use. It depends on your preference; exploring both sides requires more stamina. In the latter case, it doesn't really matter which entrance/exit you choose…
Wanfenglin Scenic Area truly lives up to its reputation as one of "China's Five Most Beautiful Karst Peak Forests," its magnificent karst landscape is breathtaking. A sightseeing bus tour offers views of peaks of varying shapes, some resembling swords piercing the sky, others like layered Arhats, a feast for the eyes. The scenic area not only boasts iconic attractions like General Peak and the Bagua Field, but also incorporates the cultures of ethnic minorities such as the Buyi, adding to its unique charm. In terms of service, the staff are warm and professional; for example, if a tourist loses their ID card, the scenic area quickly finds it and thoughtfully provides a mailing service, making visitors feel truly cared for. Furthermore, the surrounding area offers a rich variety of culinary delights, with local specialties such as Buyi Eight Bowls and Wanfenglin General's Fried Rice leaving a lasting impression, making it well worth a visit.
