A Bookstore Hidden in the Mountain Valley

Recently visited an incredibly unique spot—the Cliffside Bookstore at Luocheng Cotton Sky Pit! This bookstore feels like it's embraced by nature, perched on a cliff. When night falls and the lights turn on, it’s like stepping into the illusion of a hidden scripture pavilion. • Built into the rock face, surrounded by ancient stones and weathered wooden walkways, it feels like traveling to another world. • The nighttime ambiance is especially soothing, with warm yellow lights casting a dreamy and mystical glow over the entire bookstore. 📍Location: [Mianhua Village, Siba Town, Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region] ❕Transportation: • Self-driving from nearby cities: The roads are now well-paved, making the uphill drive very convenient and smooth. ❕Best Time to Visit: It’s recommended to go on [sunny days] for better views and an enhanced experience. ❕Accommodation Recommendations: • Inside the scenic area: [Cliff Hotel]—A distinctive hotel at Cotton Sky Pit with affordable prices, featuring an infinity pool that’s perfect for photos! ✅ Ticket: 98 RMB (includes plank walk + karst cave) ❌ Some sections close on rainy days—check the weather before your trip. ⏳ Suggested visit duration: 3–4 hours (mornings are less crowded with better lighting). 💬 Real Experience: Thought it was a niche attraction, but the geological wonders left me speechless! Vines on the pit walls cascade like green waterfalls, and we even met local elders in ethnic costumes who taught us folk songs. Few crowds, wild scenery—absolute hidden gem of Guangxi tourism!
