Jingxi Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Goose Spring Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Connected by nature...🇨🇳🇻🇳
China and Vietnam share a long border, however the most spectacular part of this must be the Detian Waterfalls in China's Guangxi Province. Around a 3 hours drive eastwards of Nanning, or alternatively south from Baise, it is reached by private car or public bus. To drive here, you can rent a car and drive yourself as the roads are in good condition and not difficult to navigate, or you can hire a driver. For the bus, you can depart from Nanning bus station, although this option is slower. Remember to bring ID or passports for buying tickets and for the frontier border check-even though you're not leaving a country, all vehicles are still inspected.
When you arrive, you board the sightseeing bus up the mountain, straddling the river that seperates the two countries, finally arriving at the top and the waterfall scenic area. You walk in a circular direction around the waterfall from the east side, offering spectacular close-up views of the whole valley. There are many observation points for photos or videos here. There are places to buy souvenirs and also vietnamese snacks. Be sure to try the cliff walk, glass bridge and the slide down the mountain for 59¥! Best time to visit here has to be mid-afternoon, so that you get both daytime and the evening sunset over the mountains range and waterfalls. A must-visit attraction in Guangxi and I highly recommend it to anyone.

mountain bliss...
Located around 2 hours drive south of Baise, China's Guangxi province, you will come to one of the most stunning places to visit in a China itself. This is the mountains that run along the China-Vietnam border region and there you will find Goose Spring, hidden away in it's secluded and picturesque wonderland.
Only accessible by private car...once you arrive, a short boat ride up to small river is a good way to begin the visit. This is the opportunity to see the local people and take in the unbelievable scenery that now surrounds you on all sides. Then take a walk past the gardens, pools and water wheels and take a leisurely climb up to the viewing platform overlooking the valley below. Here you can take an unforgettable panorama or the scene in front of you. Climb even higher for a walk along the side of the mountain trail. Any time of year is perfect to come here...even in the winter, the fog provides a mysterious backdrop to the mountains!

Beautiful valley in Jingxi
Yesterday on our way to Baise, Jingxi from Nanning, at half way, we stopped by the “Goose Spring”. 🦆
This place is highly recommended ✅, is a beautiful valley within the mountains ⛰️ that is combined with the green 🌳of the nature and yellow of the rice fields 🌾together with a gorgeous pound 💧, making this a very peaceful ☮️ and relaxing 🧘♀️🧘 spot 🏞️
To get there probably the best is to rent a car 🚗 or hired a driver, but we also saw some local buses 🚌 , that could bring you there from Nanning city.
The ticket fee is around 40 rmb per person and there are not much option for food, so better to bring your own.

Detian Transnational Waterfall: "Waterfall on the border"
The Guichun River flowing from north to south is blocked by Putang Island in the middle of the river, causing the river water to roar against the rocks and rush down. The 270-meter drop, with three twists and turns, forms a three-level waterfall, which is surging and magnificent.

The border city in Wang Wei's poetry
Jingxi City in Baise, Guangxi, is a small border town between China and Vietnam
The vast and misty Goose Spring, as if you are in the south of the Yangtze River
The thousand-year-old ancient city, known as the 'Hometown of Chinese Hydrangea'

Also quietly flowing is the clear river water
.
Guangxi in March and April is really beautiful and photogenic

Or the sunny and spring-like floral countryside
Both are intoxicating

Gulongshan Canyons Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Gulong Mountain, experience the grand canyon style of Guangxi
Counting them up, I've really been to quite a few grand canyons. The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon in Tibet, known for its depth, the Enshi Grand Canyon in Hubei, known for the 'time it takes to burn a stick of incense', the Jilin Changbai Mountain Jinjiang Grand Canyon, known for its beauty, and the Henan Taihang Grand Canyon, known for its uniqueness. The Colorado Grand Canyon in the USA, known for its length, where I even took a helicopter ride to the bottom of the valley.
Facing the Gulong Mountain in Guangxi, what kind of grand canyon will I experience? To enter the scenic area, one must take a shuttle service, with two paths into the canyon:
One is to take a kayak rafting trip, which is an optional activity with a fee of 190 yuan. It passes through 'Three Gorges and Two Caves' (Gulao Gorge, Xinling Gorge, Gulong Cave, Yingbin Cave, Baifu Cave), with a total length of 6.8 kilometers, and the trip takes over two hours. I always feel that rafting, a highly stimulating activity, is the preserve of the young, so I chose to give it up.
The other is a canyon sightseeing tour, which is to hike, and this route is also quite fun. As soon as you step into the scenic area, what catches your eye is the 'Gulong Waterfall that descends three thousand feet'. Looking up, a highway is built above the waterfall, which at a cold glance seems to spoil the scenery, but upon closer inspection, it adds a bright touch. Following the guide and walking, I soon couldn't keep up, as I was busy viewing the scenery and taking photos, and also had to watch my step, so I intentionally fell behind the group. The scenic area is quiet and beautiful, with lush, pristine natural scenery, accompanied by fresh air, and walking here doesn't feel tiring at all. Unknowingly, I arrived at the bottom of the waterfall, coming into zero distance contact with this single-stage waterfall with a drop of 128 meters, feeling like a long white skirt, fluttering and sprinkling, magnificent and beautiful.
👍Most recommended:
The most touching part was entering the Gulong Cave inside the mountain belly, a part of the underground river in the scenic area. The vast Gulong Cave was all to myself, and I wanted to fully experience the charm, tension, and divine power of nature. How amazing, how did this underground river give birth to stalactites and stalagmites of various shapes? It must have been formed through chemical reactions over time by the work of Father Time. Here, one can completely relax both body and mind, and fully merge with nature.
🌟Highlight features: National 4A Tourist Attraction.

The Gulong Grand Canyon is truly worth visiting
The Gulong Mountain Grand Canyon, a national AAAA-level scenic spot, is located in Hurun Town, Jingxi City, Guangxi. It encompasses a group of canyons, waterfalls, karst caves, underground rivers, primitive vegetation, steep cliffs, and streams with peculiar rocks. The Gulong Great Waterfall has a single drop of 128 meters. The Tongling Grand Canyon has a total length of 3.8 kilometers, connected by the Tongling Gorge, Nianba Gorge, and an underground river and tunnel system. The Tongling Great Waterfall, with a height of 188.6 meters, is the tallest waterfall in the southwest region of China. The two grand canyons are very close to each other, and although they have similar styles, each has its unique charm. The most important thing is that they are not crowded, making them very worthwhile to visit.

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'.

Quyang Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Halong bay in China 🙀
Getting There - The place is not of easy access, we hired a driver🚗 and came from Nanning by car, it took around 4 hours but including a stop or around 2 hours in another destination where we had the chance to see the spring goose and rice fields.
Attractions - just take a boat ⛵️and enjoy a ride of a little over or one hour around the lake surround by beautiful mountains everywhere. The best part is that seems to not be very well know yet, therefore we were the only ones in the boat, it felt like a private tour only for us ! 😎
Hotels - we did not stay here, but seems there are some hotels in the lake, anyway I would recommend to go and sleep somewhere else, probably the driver can suggest some good option.
Food & Restaurants - there are not many options so the best is to bring your own or eat before/after the visit.

Guangxi Tourism‖Why not see‖The sea in the mountains
Quyang Lake is known as the "sea in the mountains"
🌿This place has not been developed yet, and the matching facilities have not kept up. There are many heavy trucks on the road for self-driving, and the dust is flying.
🌿Here you can drive around the lake, or you can take a boat tour. The view from the observation deck is absolutely beautiful, and most importantly, there are few people.
🌿On the way, I met a local who asked me how I knew about this place. He said that this is a beautiful scene that only locals know about😄
🌸There are always some surprising encounters...

Sandie Ridge Waterfall is located in Hurun Town, Jingxi City, Guangxi, and is named after its location in Sandie Ridge. The waterfall is over 100 meters high and about 30 meters wide, and is one of the eight ancient scenes of Jingxi.
Sandie Ridge Waterfall is not far from Tongling Grand Canyon. It takes about ten minutes to drive along the road (in the opposite direction of Jingxi), and it is right by the road with a simple parking lot. This is a free scenic spot. The mountain trail is very narrow and can only accommodate two people walking side by side, and it is smooth, so be very careful.
After the rain, the Sandie Ridge Waterfall enters the flood season, and the waterfall flows down from the top of the mountain and the cliff, rushing into the pool at the bottom of the cliff, stirring up layers of water and white mist, with a majestic momentum and spectacular scenery.
The great traveler Xu Xiake once came here and wrote in his book: 'The momentum of thunderous pouring, and its coming from the southwest, but I have never seen it before.'
Standing on the viewing platform under the waterfall, the view of the opposite highway is also super beautiful, don't forget the scenery behind you!
