[2025 Du'an Attraction] Travel Guide for Jiuling Skylight (Updated Oct)

Set your GPS to Nine Spirits Skylight, and it's just about a 2-hour drive from Nanning City—perfect for a spontaneous weekend getaway to relax! 🅿️ Parking Tips: Once you arrive, follow the signs and drive 50 meters further to find a basketball court with free parking—super convenient! 👍 🏔️ Scenic Highlights: The views here are absolutely stunning 😍—no camera or phone can truly capture the vibe of being there in person! 🏃♂️ Hiking Experience: From the parking lot, follow the signs, and you'll reach the summit in about 20 minutes. The entire path is stairs, so it's not too challenging! For the best sunrise views and a full panorama of Nine Spirits Skylight, make sure to visit the observation pavilion! Start your hike using the left staircase—it’s steeper but gets you to the top faster. For the descent, take the right path, which is gentler and easier to walk. 🚣 Water Activities: You can rent a paddleboard or a small boat for just 30 RMB/hour—great value for money! However, note that the best time to visit is during the high-water season from May to early October, when the water levels are ideal for activities. From late October to April, water levels are lower, so check the water conditions before heading out to avoid disappointment. 🗓️ Travel Tips: I visited during the National Day holiday, and although the water levels were already lower, the natural beauty was still breathtaking and super chill 🫶. Looking for a spot to relax, enjoy nature, and get a bit of exercise without going too far? Nine Spirits Skylight is sooo perfect! Note: It's located about a 2-hour drive south of Nanning City. Plan to arrive early in the morning to avoid crowds and fully enjoy the experience. Next time you're craving a nature escape, this place is definitely worth bookmarking!

Jiuling Skylight is really great, Hechi Duan|||I think Jiuling Skylight is the best skylight in Duan, bar none! The turquoise water quality, comfortable camping environment, and large lake are perfect for paddleboarding. - destination: Just navigate to "Jiuling Skylight". It is next to Tunbang Skylight, only 1 km away. There is currently no direct public transportation. Self-driving or chartering is the most convenient. It is generally recommended to arrange a tour with Tunbang Tianchuang. You can visit Tunbang in the afternoon and camp or stay in a B&B at Jiuling Tianchuang in the evening. - Experience points📸: Paddleboarding, camping🏕️, barbecue🍢, summer escape⛱️, mountain climbing⛰️ - Tips: ①The same goes for Jiuling Skylight🈶 Rental of paddle boards and inflatable boats is also 30 yuan/1 hour (if you rent for 2 hours, you can negotiate with the boss for 50 yuan) ② It is also recommended not to stay in the water for too long. After all, "the heart is cold and the heart is flying." ③When camping🏕️be careful not to litter🚯, let’s take good care of this beautiful environment together.

|Du'an, Nandan 4-day 3-night self-driving tour guide.🚙Guangzhou Haizhu District, 8:00 am sharp departure ⌛️Driving time about 7.5 hours (two service station stops in between) 4:00 pm arrival at Tunbang Skylight, first go swimming Stay nearby at night, we chose Yishang Hotel in the county town Second day directly to Jiuling Skylight Third day Nandan Yao Wang Tianxia (must go, too shocking, the scene is 100 times more shocking than the photos) Drive back that night, to Wuxuan Fourth day in Wuxuan, eat a Dongxiang noodle, return

Du'an—An Undeveloped Fairyland 🚙: Driving is quite convenient. We arrived on the weekend, but there was no traffic jam. If you use Amap for navigation, make sure to follow the green roads❗ Do not take the blue roads on Amap😓. We took a blue road, which was extremely narrow, with uphill and downhill sections, and winding mountain roads with hairpin turns, even though there were other routes available. 🏞: The scenery is stunning, and you can enjoy both the mountains and the water. You can either view it from a distance or play around. Tunbang and Jiuling Skylights are very close to each other, and you can walk there if you don't mind the heat. Jiudun is farther away, so I didn't go. 🏃: This place is definitely a paradise for children's paddleboarding. The price is cheap, 30 yuan/hour. If you don't want to get sunburned, you can rent a small boat with a canopy for the same price. The children's water entertainment facilities, although simple, are also 30 yuan/day, which is enough for kids to have fun. 🍜: There are no good food options near the skylights😭. The food is not tasty and expensive. Fried rice costs 20 yuan per bowl, and noodles are 15 yuan but taste😓... 🏠: The accommodation conditions are average, and the prices vary. It is recommended to stay in Du'an County, where there are more food options. It takes half an hour to drive here every day. 🩱: It's best to bring long-sleeved and long-pants swimsuits for the kids. Being in the sun all day is really unbearable. It's also recommended to bring an extra set, as wet swimsuits are hard to put back on. ——A travel-loving person from Chengdu☝ Enthusiastically answering everyone's questions Feel free to ask anything
