Lingyun Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Checked in at Haokun Lake

💙 Haokun Lake is the largest body of water in the mountainous region of Lingyun, known for its picturesque lakes and mountains, winding shorelines, and scattered islets. Dozens of peaks closely embrace the clear blue waters of the lake. During the high water period, the lake spans approximately 500 to 1000 meters in width and about 15 kilometers in length. The lake is dotted with islands, blending seamlessly with the sky, and the surrounding mountains present a breathtaking view that captivates visitors. The area's beauty is comparable to the elegance of Cangshan and Erhai, and it possesses the purity of Tibet's Namtso. The local population mainly consists of the Zhuang and Yao ethnic minorities, whose unique folk customs are enchanting and invite repeated visits. It is the perfect destination for immersing oneself in nature and enjoying its beauty—a secluded paradise with few people and stunning scenery, Haokun Lake 🍃 Here, the water merges with the sky in a captivating display. Here, one can climb high for a panoramic view of the lake and mountains. Here, one can stay overnight in a lakeside residence, wake to the sound of birds, and watch the evening mist and rain. Here, life's pace and speed slow down over the time it takes to sip a cup of tea...

Zhang Xinyu didn't deceive me! It turns out that Guangxi is an underestimated tourism powerhouse

Guangxi is in my top 5 scenic provinces in China. Before coming to Guangxi, I thought it only had Guilin. After several visits, I discovered just as 'National Geographic' says, 'Guilin's landscape is the best under heaven, but every part of Guangxi is like Guilin.' Not only does it have the only nearshore island where you can see whale pods, but it also boasts the world's most beautiful highway and Asia's number one transnational waterfall. No wonder Zhang Xinyu also loves to travel and enjoy the waters and mountains of Guangxi. Over the years, I've collected many of Guangxi's little-known beautiful sights. If you come to Guangxi, you definitely don't want to miss them～ 1️⃣ Detian Transnational Waterfall It can be said to be the most worthwhile place to visit in Guangxi, and in my opinion, it's the most beautiful waterfall in China. Zhang Xinyu has just been there recently. Personally, I think it's much more beautiful than the Huangguoshu Waterfall, and right next door is the Vietnamese waterfall, which is quite magical～ 2️⃣ Goose Spring In my opinion, it's the best of Jingxi's eight scenic spots. The spring here never dries up throughout the year, the water is clear to the bottom, surrounded by mountains, especially in summer, it's like a paradise on earth～ 3️⃣ Weizhou Island If you want to go to the seaside and ride an electric scooter around the island with your girlfriend, you can do it in Beihai, instantly feeling like you're back in Taiwan (where we met), with a youthful vibe coming right at you. 4️⃣ Mingshi Pastoral It's perfect for idling away two days here, with the most beautiful pastoral scenery in Guangxi. You can also taste the special Saigon coffee on the way, and the view from the observation deck at sunset is absolutely stunning. 5️⃣ Haokun Lake I've revisited Haokun Lake, with its vast and clear waters, it's like a forgotten paradise on earth, a casual snapshot is a beautiful landscape painting～ Zhang Xinyu's hiking route: No ticket needed, navigate to Wai Tun, go up from the basketball court for 10min to reach the place overlooking Haokun Lake, the scenery along the cliff edge is all breathtaking, like jade embedded in the mountains. 6️⃣ Xianggong Mountain The ancients did not deceive me, it turns out that the 'Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains' painting really exists! If you go to only one place in Guilin, it must be Xianggong Mountain, you must choose a good weather, everything you see is picturesque. 7️⃣ Jiu Zhou Ancient Town Known as the hometown of hydrangeas, Jiu Zhou has been making hydrangeas for over a thousand years. It hasn't been overly commercialized, surrounded by green mountains, and the local snacks nearby are a must-try. 8️⃣ Dashiwei Tiankeng In addition to Jingxi's karst landscape and the red culture theme of the city area in Baise, there is also the world's largest sinkhole group in Leye, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while having coffee in a cliffside café. 9️⃣ Tongling Grand Canyon It's like coming to the end of the world, the canyon is known as the 'Earth's Crack', especially the waterfall, which looks like a scene from a fantasy martial arts drama. The ancient Longshan Grand Canyon next to it is worth visiting together. As a future son-in-law of Guangxi, my mission is to share the beauty of Guangxi with everyone!!

I declare! Guangxi can be enshrined as divine now!

Guangxi is truly an underrated gem, with every scene here just as breathtaking as 'Guilin'. I've been to many provinces in China, and Guangxi definitely ranks in my top three! 🥳 🌊Sanmenhai: The awe it inspires is beyond words! When the weather is good, the water glows!! Paired with the magical caves above, it's like a real-life version of 'Ghost Blows Out the Light'! 😱 🏞Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Area: This is the waterfall I used to see on calendars when I was a kid! In my mind, waterfalls should look like Detian, but I've never seen such a beautiful one in person. Coming to Guangxi, I realized that the waterfall from the calendars is right here! 🤩 🌌Haokun Lake: Only by hiking to overlook can you see such beauty! Isn't this Guangxi's 'Nam Co'? So stunning! You must climb to the top, the view of Haokun Lake will give you the answer! 👏 🐎Qinglong Lake: This might be an abandoned scenic area, so it's quite niche and not crowded. But it's like Guangxi's 'Xinjiang', with streams, grasslands, herds of cattle and horses, as well as milky water surfaces and ducks. Lie on the lawn and relax to your heart's content! 😄 🌾Mingshi Pastoral: The charm of Mingshi Pastoral lies in quietly enjoying the elegance of the fields. There are no grandiose scenes here, but it will definitely relax your mood. Especially the morning jog, with a bit of mist, feels like being in a fairyland. 🧚 🏔Tongling Grand Canyon: After visiting Detian Waterfall, I thought I wouldn't be shocked by the sight of waterfalls again, but Tongling Grand Canyon brought me even more surprises! And it's super photogenic! 📷 🕳Shegeng Chuandong: Right next to Sanmenhai, just a few minutes' drive away. This is a naturally formed large mountain cave, with many uniquely shaped stones inside, truly magical! Don't miss it when you visit Sanmenhai! 🤗 🌸Tongyu Bay: The filming location for 'The Journey of Flower', also known as Anping Fairy River. The whole scenic area requires a boat tour, and you'll visit an island in the middle, giving you a sense of entering a peach blossom utopia, enlightening and uplifting. 🤩 🌳Qingxiu Mountain: Although Qingxiu Mountain is in the city of Nanning, promise me to spare a day for it, okay? The variety of plants here compete in beauty, and the garden planning is also particularly gorgeous! 🤩 Guangxi, waiting for you to explore! 🎉

Occasionally there is a small island in the distance. We will go ashore and plan to go to the shore to find out. Because there is no one on the island, there are only lakes and mountains and green bushes around. I feel that the whole island and the whole lake are their own. I seem to be the island owner here. The beautiful lake forms a layered, close to the crystal clear of the island, and the blue is far away. There are a few white clouds floating in the endless sky. Under the blue sky, the lake is so blue and green, so crystal clear and transparent, the boat travels over the lake and scratches the original calm of the lake. There was a burst of microwaves, and although the ship broke the original calm, it was very harmonious.
