Baise, Guangxi, is a hidden gem like a forgotten pearl, offering a pleasant and comfortable travel experience even during the summer vacation. Starting from Nanning, whether you take the convenient high-speed train directly to Baise Station or drive for a free exploration journey, you can easily reach this charming land. Next, let me introduce you in detail to this unique three-day, two-night trip to Baise. Day 1: Encounter with the magical karst cave and cloud camp Upon arrival in Baise, the first stop is Luomei Lotus Cave. This is an outstanding example of Guangxi’s karst cave landscape. Unlike common caves, the lighting inside is exquisitely designed to create a dreamy and romantic atmosphere. Especially the magnificent starry sky ceiling, as if bringing the vast galaxy into the cave, making people intoxicated by this unique romance. After touring the cave, head to the desirable 1466 Camp. This cliffside camp is well-equipped, offering a comfortable stay whether you are with elderly family members or children. In the afternoon, brew a cup of rich hand-ground coffee and quietly enjoy the magnificent surrounding scenery, feeling at ease. After a short rest, a 5-minute walk will take you to Yingyue Lake. The lakeside scenery is pleasant, with gentle breezes causing ripples on the water surface. Nearby, the Rainbow Trail is an excellent spot for photos and check-ins. If you use a drone, you can capture stunning visual effects. If you don’t have a drone, photographers can go to Yunhai Tianzhou, where you can also shoot panoramic views of the Rainbow Trail. The transparent plank road at Yunhai Tianzhou is full of fun and challenges, and aerial shots can produce amazing images. When walking on the plank road, remember to wear shoe covers to ensure safety. As night falls, enjoy carefully prepared hotpot and barbecue at the 1466 Camp. If you are very lucky, you might encounter a splendid sunset, perfectly ending a wonderful day. Day 2: Exploring the earth’s core and scenic sightseeing The second day is full of adventure and surprises. Early in the morning, go to Baidong to experience the rappelling activity. There are two heights to choose from: 50 meters and 200 meters. For first-timers or cautious visitors, the 50-meter rappel, assisted by instructors, allows you to easily enjoy the fun; the 200-meter rappel is more thrilling, reaching the bottom of the cave and providing an unforgettable experience. Follow professional instructors for a hiking adventure inside Baidong. The cave floor has many loose stones, so be extra careful and it is recommended to wear water shoes. If lucky, you can capture the charming Tyndall effect and keep precious images. In the afternoon, head to Mafeng Cave. The hiking difficulty here is low, suitable for visitors of all ages. Although the hike is easy, the cave scenery is stunning, with surprises at every turn. After leaving Mafeng Cave, a five-minute walk will bring you to Dongfeng Viewing Platform. From here, you can see the entire 1466 Camp and take photos with the iconic red frame of China Geography. Additionally, there is a “Heart Mountain” here, a must-visit spot for couples. That night, stay at Baidong Homestay to experience the local unique accommodation atmosphere. Day 3: Leisure time in a mountain and water fairyland On the third day, visit the Buliu River Fairy Bridge Scenic Area. Here, mountains and water coexist, creating picturesque scenery. The Buliu River’s water is crystal clear, with green mountains rolling on both sides. Taking a boat tour feels like being inside a beautiful landscape painting. The Fairy Bridge is a masterpiece of nature’s craftsmanship, majestic and magnificent, inspiring awe for nature’s wonders. After fully enjoying the beauty of the mountains and water in the scenic area, set off with wonderful memories to end this unforgettable Baise trip. Food Recommendations 1.
