Guangxi Loop Nanning Baise Hechi Chongzuo 6-Day Connected Travel Guide "Guilin's Scenery is the Best Under Heaven" is well known, but "Everywhere in Guangxi is Guilin" is still little known, because

only by experiencing a connected tour of multiple cities in Guangxi can you deeply understand this saying.

Recommended cycling route: Mingshi Bridge → Naguan Tun → Longtoushan Viewing Platform. 📍 Tongling Grand Canyon: Hike through the primeval forest, descend along the plank road to the canyon bottom, and admire the 188-meter-high Tongling Waterfall and underground dark river. 📍 Haokun Lake: Recommended lake circuit route: "Haokun Lake Wind and Rain Bridge → Yuxian Pavilion → Sanhe Homestay Viewing Platform," with multiple free viewing platforms along the way; hiking route: mid-mountain "Pig Cage Cave" trail (2-hour loop), overlooking the stunning blue lake surface intertwined with peak forests. 📍 Sanmenhai: Take a boat through 7 connected karst skylights (about 1 hour water tour), with sunlight shining through the skylights onto the blue-green water surface; on sunny days from 11:00 to 14:00, when sunlight directly hits the skylights, the water color is most stunning. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations Along the Way ✅ Shuolong Town: Old Kapok Resort ✅ Mingshi Countryside: Mingshi Nali ✅ Jingxi: Changfeng Hotel ✅ Haokun Lake: Sanhe Homestay, Lingyun Zhuangzhi International Hotel ✅ Bama: Bama Cifulu Junlan
