Things to do in Xiangzhou

We have been to Xiangzhou Guxiang Hot Spring and it was great. There are villas near the river, which can accommodate two or three families. There is a hot spring pool in the villa, where you can barbecue and cook. There is also a large pool area, which you can walk to directly. It is great. We went there on March 3, which is a festival unique to Guangxi. It is fun and unforgettable. It is not far away and you can go there often.

A tourist attraction suitable for family trips. The iron flower and mermaid are must-sees, they are absolutely beautiful! There are also many snacks and staple foods. It is a place with complete food, drink and entertainment

运江古镇位于广西壮族自治区来宾市象州县运江镇运江码头北100米，古镇始建于汉代，已有2000多年历史，是一处集访古、娱乐、观光、休闲于一体的经贸特色文化旅游景点。核心景点包括甘王庙、粤东会馆、千年老街、宋代古码头等，展现了独特的岭南古镇风貌。

It's quite nice to stroll around here on a weekday during the off-season, although the plants aren't as green. The park is very large; it would probably take a whole day to see everything. I bought a 5 yuan sightseeing bus ticket and took a 20-minute ride around the north gate, which was pretty good.

When visiting Guilin, a must-see is Elephant Trunk Hill, the city's iconic landmark. It truly lives up to its reputation as the face of Guilin's landscape; only by seeing it in person can one truly appreciate the wonders of nature. The entire mountain sits on the banks of the Li River, resembling a giant elephant bowing to drink from the water. The Water Moon Cave cuts through the mountain, its reflection shimmering in the water, creating the famous Elephant Trunk Hill and Water Moon spectacle—a flowing ink painting. The scenic area is clean and comfortable, with walking paths built along the Li River, shaded by lush trees, making for a delightful stroll. You can climb the mountain for panoramic views of Guilin, or find classic vantage points along the riverbank to capture stunning, atmospheric photos. Boat trips are also available, offering a different and breathtaking perspective of Elephant Trunk Hill from the river. The scenic area is conveniently located in the city center, with excellent transportation and comprehensive facilities. Every step reveals a new vista, allowing you to truly experience the unparalleled beauty of Guilin's landscape. Don't miss it when traveling to Guilin; it's definitely worth a visit.

Libo Xiaoqikong, affectionately known as "Little Seventeen," is located at the border of Guizhou and Guangxi provinces. It is a World Natural Heritage site and a national 5A scenic area. It gets its name from the seven-arched ancient bridge that spanned the Xiangshui River during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, connecting the two provinces. Hidden within its secluded valleys are crystal-clear waters, dotted with Wolongtan (Sleeping Dragon Pool), a water forest, and a 68-tiered waterfall, earning it the reputation of "the emerald on the Earth's belt." The karst landscape is breathtakingly beautiful, with clear, sparkling waters.

Our last stop in Liuzhou was the Panwangjie Scenic Area of ​​Dayao Mountain, known as "Little Zhangjiajie." A chartered car from Liuzhou took about 1.5 hours to get there, and the entire walk was approximately 8 kilometers. The scenic area has two levels. We took a cable car up the mountain, explored the upper level first, then took an elevator down to the lower level to see all the sights. After that, we took the elevator back up to the upper level, and finally took the cable car down. Our driver, Mr. Ling, drove smoothly and planned the time well. Our three-day chartered car trip ended happily.

We had a wonderful family trip to Beidi Mountain during the National Day holiday. The mountain peaks were shrouded in mist, and the cable car ride offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains was truly awe-inspiring. The park's performances were excellent, and the natural scenery was pristine. The whole family had a fantastic time.

Finally, I witnessed the grandeur of the Longji Rice Terraces in person! The actual scenery is even more breathtaking than the pictures! We visited Jinkeng Dazhai, where the terraced fields unfold along the mountainside, stretching into the distance, creating a truly immersive mountain atmosphere. At the entrance to the scenic area, you must transfer to a sightseeing bus to enter the mountain. The mountain roads are winding, so those prone to motion sickness should prepare accordingly. For those with average stamina, I highly recommend the cable car; it's less strenuous and offers a stunning panoramic view of the entire terraced field. There are several viewing platforms on the mountain, with No. 2 Thousand-Layer Ladder and No. 1 Golden Buddha Peak each offering their own unique beauty. Take your time to explore and take photos; there's no need to rush. It's also suitable for families with elderly members and children. Choosing the route that combines the cable car with gentle hiking trails will prevent you from getting too tired. Please note that there's a significant temperature difference on the mountain, and it can be quite cool in the mornings and evenings, so wear comfortable, non-slip shoes. It's recommended to allow at least half a day to a full day for the entire visit, avoiding the midday sun. When visiting Guilin, be sure to set aside time for the Longji Rice Terraces. This breathtaking scenery, created by nature and the local people together, is well worth it!
