Chongzuo 3-day 2-night Travel Guide, Idyllic Scenery for Healing!

As a globetrotting travel blogger, I've always been in pursuit of those places that can heal the soul and are yet untouched by the masses. By chance, I embarked on a journey to Chongzuo—a tranquil and enchanting border town that captured my heart. Chongzuo, with its picturesque pastoral landscapes, mountains embracing grand vistas, cascading waterfalls, and people-friendly prices, perfectly embodies my ideal of 'settling down in a city for life'. In Chongzuo, time seems to stand still, and all worries appear to dissipate with the breeze between the mountains and waters. I've found that no matter how heavy the heart, the natural beauty of this land always has the power to heal. If one trip isn't enough to fully relax the soul, then come again, until your heart is completely at peace. Now, I want to share the experience of my trip to Chongzuo with my readers, hoping that you too can join me in exploring this land full of tranquility and beauty. **Chongzuo 3-day 2-night Self-drive Tour Itinerary:** **Day 1:** - Depart from Chongzuo South Station, rent a car and start our adventure. - The first stop is the spectacular Detian Cross-border Waterfall Group, where the bamboo rafting experience is unforgettable. - In the afternoon, we head to Mingshi Countryside to admire the dreamlike sunset and stay overnight there (budget around 200-300 yuan). **Day 2:** - Leave Mingshi Countryside in the early morning and head to Gulong Grand Canyon and Sandiequan Waterfall to experience the magic of nature's craftsmanship. - Arrive at Tongling Grand Canyon at noon, enjoy the freshness and excitement of rainforest hiking. - In the afternoon, reach Aibu Waterfall, then head to Goose Spring, where the sunset is equally breathtaking, and stay overnight (budget around 100-200 yuan). **Day 3:** - Leave Goose Spring early in the morning and head to the historically rich Jiuzhou Ancient Town, which is full of culture and traditional crafts. - In the afternoon, proceed to Longyang Sinkhole, and if time permits, also visit Jianlong Mountain. - After the exploration, return to Chongzuo South Station and choose the best departure time according to the high-speed train schedule or stay overnight (budget around 100-200 yuan). Below are my personal recommendations for attractions: 1. **Detian Cross-border Waterfall**: Around June, during the high water season, the waterfall is most spectacular, and the rapids beneath the bamboo rafts are endlessly thrilling. 2. **Mingshi Countryside**: Here, my understanding of 'being unaccustomed to worldly tunes, naturally loving hills and mountains' was redefined. Under the sunset, sitting on a bamboo raft, surrounded by poetic and picturesque scenery, it feels like being in a fairyland. 3. **Goose Spring**: The water is crystal clear, the fried fish in the lake is delicious and affordably priced, and bamboo rafting costs only 10 yuan per person. 4. **Longyang Sinkhole**: Located near Baise Jingxi, the natural scenery here makes one feel as if they are in a painting. The round-trip hike takes about 3 hours, so remember to bring a walking stick, enough water, and sun protection. 5. **Jiuzhou Ancient Town**: Known as the 'Town of Hydrangea', it has not yet been overly commercialized. Entry is free after 6 p.m., making it a great place for photography. In addition to the above recommendations, the rafting in Gulong Grand Canyon and the rainforest hiking in Tongling Grand Canyon during the high water season are unforgettable experiences. I hope everyone will share more fun places in the comments section, so we can explore the beauty of Chongzuo together! I wish everyone a journey filled with laughter and surprises in Chongzuo, and I look forward to your amazing stories!
