Exploring Chongzuo: The Natural Wonders and Fairy Tale Dreams of Guangxi
Chongzuo, this mysterious land hidden deep in Guangxi, may not be as famous as the landscape of Guilin, but it also boasts breathtaking natural scenery.

What's more spectacular is that it is also home to the largest transnational waterfall in Asia—the Detian Waterfall, where the water roars and rushes, creating a grand spectacle like a huge ink painting scroll.
Chongzuo is also the filming location for the fantasy TV drama 'The Journey of Flower,' where those dreamlike scenes were shot. If you want to experience a different misty and rainy Guangxi, then why not visit Chongzuo. Here, you can feel the magical charm of nature and also pursue the fantastical scenes from fairy tales. Chongzuo awaits your exploration and discovery.

Beneath the glass walkway, there is transparent glass, with a verdant jungle underfoot and the magnificent scenery of Vietnam 🇻🇳 above, as if standing in the clouds, overlooking the full view of the waterfall.
Mingshi Pastoral, just like the dreamy scenes from the TV drama 'The Journey of Flower,' this place is a pastoral poem of the border, a paradise on earth 🌸. Wander among the karst landscapes, marvel at the natural wonders, visit the 'Zhuang Minority Dwelling Museum,' and immerse yourself in the most primitive and simple life of the Zhuang people 🍀.
Taiping Ancient Town, the magnificent border town, charming Chongzuo, known as the 'Ever-bright City of the Tang Dynasty,' lives up to its name. As night falls, the lights of the ancient town shine brightly, and Hanfu rental becomes a new favorite among tourists, as if traveling through time back to the glorious Tang Dynasty. The variety of snacks in the ancient town 🍖 is dazzling, making visitors linger.
Gulongshan Grand Canyon, hidden deep within the mountains, the secluded beauty is breathtaking. The misty canyon is picturesque, and the scenery of 'Three Gorges and Two Caves' is even more impressive 👍. This place is a masterpiece of nature, a paradise for photography enthusiasts, with every frame being a beautiful painting.
The pastoral scenery, although nothing particularly amazing, but also makes people feel comfortable. If you have more time, you can rent an electric car and it should feel more. The scenery of Huaqianku is generally good!
As the name implies, Mingxuan Pastoral is a pastoral scenery, not far from Detian Waterfall. There are bamboo rafting in it, watching the mountains and the water, the water color and the mountains are comfortable. You can ride a bicycle around, and the bicycle lane is also well repaired.
Mingxuan Pastoral is in Daxin, not far from Detian Waterfall, picturesque and beautiful. Bamboo rafting is comfortable and worth experiencing again. Cycling near the scenic spot is also great, watching the mountains and the water, the water color and the mountains are beautiful.
The Qingming holiday is full of scenery, giving people a feeling of relaxation and joy. How comfortable is the hiding in the mountains and forests. The air is filled with romantic atmosphere. Walking along the idyllic road with the sunset is very healing.
On the day I went, there were not many tourists, and there was almost no queue. Take the bamboo raft down the stream. The pastoral scenery was panoramic, the warm wind was slowly, the green mountains on both sides of the Straits were charming, and the guide Xiao Amei was witty, which made us linger.
Suitable for slow-paced walking, there are many electric cars on the roadside, very convenient, because the vegetation is dense, so there are relatively many mosquitoes, it is best to have mosquito repellent spray when playing, Mingxuan landscape is called "Little Guilin", if you are not willing to crowd people on holidays, it is also a good choice.
After ten years of playing Mingxuan Pastoral again, the overall feeling is not as amazing as ten years ago. First, the time should not be as long as before, and the fun and service of the attractions are not as good as before. This bamboo rafting only the little girl explained and sang a mountain song, during which peanuts, oranges, and bitter tea were provided. I remember that on the way to the tour ten years ago, there were fishermen performing, there were mountain songs on the shore, there were also drinking at the folk museum, what door to go, and the ceremony was full. Now these are gone, and I feel that it is not worth 120 yuan.
