If you have time, visit Chongzuo, where the scenery rivals that of Guilin! "Chinese National Geography" praises its landscape as comparable to Guilin. Chongzuo is free from the hustle and bustle of the city—here, misty clouds embrace emerald mountains, creating an ethereal charm. A stroll through its breathtaking landscapes will make all your worries melt away.
Here, you don’t even need to step outside to witness breathtaking landscapes. At the end of the valley lies a massive cross-border waterfall, while ancient karst formations stand in majestic harmony. Surrounded by emerald mountains and swaying bamboo groves, it’s like stepping into a real-life Chinese ink painting.
Day 1：Nanning - Tongling Grand Canyon - E'Quan Village
In the morning, we can have a bowl of Guangxi's special Luosifen in Nanning, and then headed to Tongling Grand Canyon.
The Tongling Grand Canyon in Baise, Jingxi is known as the "beautiful scar on Earth." The collision of tectonic movements and the wonders of karst topography have created its magnificent and ethereal scenery. The Tongling Waterfall within the canyon has a single drop of up to 188.6 meters. The sound of the waterfall is expansive and refreshing, like rolling spring thunder filling the entire canyon, providing both shock and delight.
The lush forests here hide many rare and unknown plants, and over 2,000 species of naturally growing wild plants thrive in the canyon, earning it the title of "the greenest canyon in China."
After visiting Tongling Grand Canyon, we will have a tour in Equan Village. Riding in a light boat, we drift among the clear spring waters, embracing the green mountains, while the noise of the city has long since faded away.
Equan Village is also the upstream source of the Detian Transnational Waterfall. The water that flows from Equan merges into the Guichun River. The spring-fed lakes here have turquoise waters that resemble emeralds. In the evening, the sunset fills the sky, and the mist meets the twilight, creating a natural soft light filter. The combination of the sunset, an old cow, an ancient bridge, and flowing water embodies the dream of a peaceful life.
Chongzuo is also a paradise for rice noodle lovers, where you can enjoy rice noodles three times a day, with each meal offering something different. There are also dishes like the bamboo basket feast, roasted suckling pig with fragrant leaves, sour porridge, Vietnamese rice rolls, and fried spring rolls. These dishes showcase both Zhuang traditional flavors and Vietnamese snacks, making for a truly abundant experience.
Day 2：Detian Waterfall&Bamboo Raft - Rice Field Coffee / Afternoon Tea - Ming Shi Rural Scenic Area
Detian Waterfall, known as "the first in Asia and the fourth in the world," spans across China and Vietnam, boasting a plentiful water flow.
Then we will arrive at Ming Shi Rural Scenic Area, often referred to as "Little Guilin." The stunning Kanas Peak Forest surrounds this hidden gem, which is small yet exquisite, with scenery that rivals that of Guilin. In addition to its beauty, this place also offers a touch of pastoral charm.
Ming Shi Rural Scenic Area is vast, with rice fields surrounded by karst peaks stretching for many kilometers around the village. Enjoy a leisurely and pleasant bike ride along the banks of the Ming Shi River, pedaling along the cycling path and enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea in the field. With the gentle breeze and the embrace of green mountains and clear waters, you feel as if you are merging into a beautiful painting.
