Deep in the mountains of Yunnan, I stumbled upon a hidden gem.

Xiancao Secret Realm · Liulangcheng, a Zhuang ancient village with a history of over a thousand years, got its name from the battle between the Zhuang hero Nong Zhigao and the famous Song Dynasty general Yang Wenguang. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, with cliffs and precipices at the back, it's easy to defend and hard to attack. 📍Location: Guangnan County, Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture ⛰️Attractions: Liulangcheng, Xiancao Secret Realm 🚗Transportation: 2.5 hrs by car from Wenshan City 💰Cost: Gas CNY 200, Toll CNY 173, Tickets CNY 68/person 🍲Recommended Dishes: ‌Bahang Chicken‌: Tender chicken in a sour and appetizing soup, with a unique flavor. ‌Five-Color Sticky Rice‌: Colorful, dyed with natural plant pigments, soft, glutinous, and sweet. ‌Roasted Gaofeng Beef‌: Local specialty beef, firm texture, roasted until golden brown and fragrant.‌ 📝Other Tips: The mountain mist makes for great photos. If you're not into photography, it's not recommended, as the mountain isn't very high and the climb is short, making it less cost-effective. Masa is a better option for hiking, as it's free and offers beautiful scenery.
