[2025 Hechi Attraction] Travel Guide for Longjiang First Bay Scenic Area (Updated Jul)

[Tree] In the vast land of China, Guangxi is like a shining pearl inlaid in southern Xinjiang, exuding a unique and charming charm. When it comes to the beauty of mountains and rivers, Guangxi undoubtedly occupies an important position. Everyone knows that "Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world". However, this land is full of beautiful scenery that is no less beautiful than Guilin. Today, follow my footsteps and walk into Hechi, Guangxi, to explore this fairyland that seems to have fallen into the human world - "Semporna" in Guangxi. [Tree] Things to know before you go: Tips for unlocking your trip [Tree] Before embarking on this magical journey, there are some tips to keep in mind. The first is Sanmenhai. The lake water here is like a dream. It appears charming peacock blue to the naked eye, and when the tour guide shines a flashlight on it, it instantly turns into a deep emerald green. This magical scene has no filters or modifications and is so real that it is amazing. Secondly, the best time to visit is before May. Once the rainy season comes, the originally clear lake water will become turbid, thus affecting the viewing experience, so be sure to pay close attention to the weather conditions before traveling. [Tree] Day 1: Jiudun Skylight - A Fantasy Adventure on the Glass River [Tree] Jiudun Skylight is like a pearl carefully carved by nature. It is open to the public for free and only charges 10 yuan for parking. Starting from Nanning, it only takes 2.5 hours to drive by yourself, or you can choose to charter a car, the cost is about 200-400 yuan, and the transportation is very convenient. [Tree] Stepping into the Jiudun Skylight is like walking into a fantasy world. The must-try activities are wonderful: rent a paddle board, at the price of 30 yuan per hour, leisurely shuttle through the picturesque "water lettuce" sea lettuce, feel the breeze on your face, the rippling water, the comfort is unparalleled. This is also a paradise for diving enthusiasts. As the filming location of "Aerial China", the "China's Underwater Mount Everest" skylight group attracts countless diving experts to come and challenge and check in. [Tree] In addition to the wonderful water experience, the food is also not to be missed. The grilled river fish sold at the villagers' stalls is only 25 yuan per piece. Paired with fresh mint leaves, the unique flavor instantly blooms on the tip of your tongue, and the wild taste is unforgettable. The viewing path downstream of the skylight is an excellent photo-taking spot. Just press the shutter button at will to capture high-quality INS photos and freeze this wonderful moment. [Tree] Day 2: The First Bay of Longjiang River and the Little Three Gorges of Muluojia - a unique landscape feast [Tree] The First Bay of Longjiang River: A Southern Interpretation of Northern Frontier Style [Tree] The First Bay of Longjiang River is like a natural painting, showing a unique charm. Tickets are divided into 10 yuan for mountain climbing and 50 yuan for boat cruise. You may not know that this is also the filming location of the popular TV series "The Journey of Flower", and it has a mysterious film and television aura. [Tree] Here, the specialty dish Liujia Zhensuan meat, priced at 30 yuan per catty, is paired with fragrant bamboo tube rice. The unique taste of sour and spicy appetizers will instantly awaken your taste buds. The 836 boundary marker check-in point is not to be missed. Standing there, the beautiful reflection of the China-Vietnam border comes into view. The mountains and rivers complement each other, forming a poetic picture. Every shot is a travel blockbuster. [Tree] Afternoon: Muluojia Small Three Gorges - the graceful beauty of karst landforms [Tree] In the afternoon, we came to the Muluojia Small Three Gorges. For only 80 yuan (including the boat ticket), we could start a journey to explore the secrets of karst. It is easily accessible by car in 10 minutes. [Tree] Not only does this place have picturesque landscapes, but it also has a unique hidden way to play - take a bamboo raft to challenge the 460-meter cliff plank road (extra fee required), and feel the wonders of nature and your own courage in the challenge. Taste the five-color glutinous rice from Zhuang ethnic group, priced at RMB 20 per portion, paired with the intangible cultural heritage delicacy tofu balls. The soft and sticky taste combined with the fresh and fragrant flavor will immerse your tongue in the rich ethnic customs. [Tree] Hechi, Guangxi, this little-known "Semporna", with its unique landscape, rich travel experience and tempting food, is waiting for everyone who loves traveling to explore. Here, you can appreciate the magic and magnificence of nature, feel the unique ethnic customs, and gain an unforgettable travel memory.

#discoverchina After exploring the mountains and waters of Guangxi, I’ve discovered countless little-known gems tucked away in the corners of this province. These spots might not have the fame of Guilin’s landscapes, but the scenery is just as stunning, if not more! As some say, “Guilin’s landscapes are the best in the world, but Guangxi is full of places like it.” One of the highlights is Jinchengjiang in Hechi, where the Longjiang First Bend offers a high-value experience at a 10 RMB ticket for a visit that feels like spending 200 RMB worth of fun! 😍 Where is Longjiang First Bend? It’s located in Liujia Town, Jinchengjiang, Hechi, only 40 minutes from the city center. This spot is surrounded by mountains, offering a peaceful and idyllic atmosphere, almost like a hidden paradise. The river’s clear, turquoise waters make it feel like a hidden gem—it’s even located downstream from Libo. 🏞️ Tour Tips for Longjiang First Bend: Hike for 20 minutes to reach the top, and enjoy panoramic views of the landscape perfect for photos 📸 The best weather for photography is on cloudy days or when there’s sunshine. Besides hiking, you can also ride a bamboo raft for 30 RMB. It’s a 40-minute ride, and much more affordable compared to other locations like Mingshi in Chongzuo. #travel #thingstodo

Listen up, everyone! I just got back from Guangxi's "Semporna," and I almost cried after being scammed by a rogue tour guide at Jiudun Tianchuang.😤 I stayed up all night to compile this list of real-life pitfalls. Read it and save yourself ¥1,000! 🚗 Transportation traps ❌ Don't believe the "¥2,000 for a four-day Nanning car rental" lie! The actual deposit starts at ¥3,000 + ¥80/day for scratch insurance. High-speed rail + bus is a much better option (Nanning East → Jinchengjiang Station, then transfer to the scenic spot shuttle bus). ❌ Don't drive to Sanmenhai! The parking lot is a 2 km gravel road from the pier. My flip-flops were destroyed.😭 🌊 Optimized itinerary (original itinerary + scam avoidance tips) DAY 1: Jiudun Tianchuang ✅ Hidden gem: Paddleboarding at 4pm! The slanting sunlight reveals the 12-meter underwater caves (Don't rent a transparent boat! The underwater reflections will ruin your photos). ⚠️ Danger warning: There are undercurrents at the edge of the water flower fields! Turn back 50 meters from the Tianchuang cave entrance (Don't be like me and almost get sucked in😱). DAY 2: Longjiang First Bay → Muluojia Small Three Gorges ✅ Northern Xinjiang alternative: Bring a CPL polarizing filter to capture reflections at Boundary Marker 836! Otherwise, the water's reflection will make your photos unrecognizable. ⚠️ Cliffside walkway scam: The bamboo raft challenge to the 460-meter walkway costs an extra ¥80! It's actually only 200 meters before it's blocked by an iron gate (I asked the boatman for a refund, and he said, "You didn't ask"💢). DAY 3: Sanmenhai ✅ Emerald green photography tip: It costs ¥20 to ask the tour guide to use their flashlight! Bring your own high-power flashlight for the same effect. ⚠️ Blue Cave danger zone: Don't stand on the right side of the boat when passing through the Tianchuang! The dripping water from the rock wall can soak your clothes in half an hour (Don't ask how I know😭). 📸 Photography fails ⚠️ You need to fly 500 meters high to capture the U-shaped bend at Longjiang First Bay! The no-fly zone sign at the pier is tiny (My drone was almost confiscated). ✅ Secret photo spot: Wait for a cargo ship to pass by at Muluojia Tianmen Gorge! Use a 200mm telephoto lens to capture the "light boat has passed ten thousand mountains" effect. 🍜 Food recommendations ❌ Yao long table banquet ¥150/person = 5 cold dishes + 1 chicken! It's better to go to Liu Jia Town for the ¥28 all-you-can-eat sour pork. ✅ Must-try: Zhuang five-color glutinous rice—choose the one dyed black with maple leaves! It's 10 times better with diced sausage than the sweet version. ✅ Secret code: Tell the villagers "I want freshly caught" to get authentic grilled river fish (¥25 for dead fish, ¥40 for live fish). 💡 Survival guide 1️⃣ Bring water shoes! The pebbles at Jiudun Tianchuang are incredibly slippery. 2️⃣ Bring cash! There's no signal at all in the Sanmenhai scenic area (You can't even scan a QR code to buy a sausage). 3️⃣ Wear bright clothes! Wearing black in the caves makes you invisible in photos. 4️⃣ Beware of "freelance photographers"! The ¥5/photo is actually a Photoshopped template (They put my face on someone else's body😤). It's water flower season! Save this guide and tag your adventure buddies!🌿 The next post will be "Guangxi's hidden waterfall scam guide." If this post gets 1,000 likes, I'll stay up for three days to write it!💥

Hechi Longjiang First Bay Scenic Area is located in Jinchengjiang District, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It is a scenic area with beautiful natural scenery. There are continuous mountains, mountain trails and multiple viewing platforms. Tourists can hike and enjoy the natural beauty.

Longjiang First Bay is a scenic spot in the suburbs of Hechi that is not too occupied by tourists. It doesn't feel crowded even during the long holidays. It is about half an hour's drive from Jinchengjiang District, and the road conditions are good. Longjiang River winds around the mountains, like a dragon; the mountain road is easy to walk, the tickets are particularly cheap and almost free, there are two viewing platforms, one high and one low, and you can't take a panoramic view of the bend without using aerial photography equipment. The scenic spot is popular for drifting that gets the whole body wet. Tourists wear swimsuits and sponge life jackets and drift downstream in the artificial waterway. It's a very primitive and rough idea! Compared with the river bay, the karst landscape along the way is more charming, with ponds, rice fields, sugarcane forests and bamboo forests, mountains and rivers reflecting each other, like a series of rural landscape paintings, very primitive and attractive.
