Longlin travel guide and discussion

To be honest, Baise in September is a seriously underrated gem 🌿 I drove over from Nanning just planning to check it off my list, but I ended up staying in Jingxi for four days. I was almost devastated on the day I had to leave—I really didn't want to go 😭 🏨 Accommodation guide (let's clear up where to stay first) I don't recommend staying inside the scenic areas right away; it's expensive and a hassle. There are plenty of chain hotel options in Youjiang District. You can snag a room at the Vienna International Hotel (Baise High-Speed Railway Station Branch) for as low as CNY 179. It has a 4.6 rating, free parking, and is perfect for resting up after you arrive on the first day 🛏️ For the two days I spent exploring Jingxi, I moved to Jingxi city center. There are tons of hotels and homestays around Jinxiu Ancient Town. It's only a 20–35 minute drive to Tongling Grand Canyon, Equan, and Jiuzhou, so you don't have to move your luggage every day. Chain hotels are CNY 120–200/night, which is an incredible value. There are also homestays right by Equan; opening your window to see the countryside is romantic, but it's not convenient for dining or shopping, so it's not for lazy people like me 🥲 If you want to see the morning mist at Haokun Lake, you can stay in Lingyun County, where hotel prices are friendly. 🏞️ Recommended attractions (ranked by how much I loved them) Tongling Grand Canyon has to be the first one I praise! The admission ticket is CNY 109. I rushed in as soon as it opened at 8:00 AM. The 188-meter waterfall crashes down from above, spraying mist all over your face—it's like natural air conditioning in the summer ❄️ My shoes were soaked after the hike, but it was totally worth it. Admission to Equan is only CNY 46. It's one of the three famous springs in Southwest China and the source of Detian Waterfall. If you arrive after 7:00 AM, you'll see morning mist, rice paddies, and ancient bridges—it's like walking into an ink wash painting. I took 300 photos 😂 Haokun Lake has a CNY 58 admission ticket. It's an alpine emerald lake with so few people it's crazy (in a good way), and walking around the lake is incredibly healing. If you want to save on admission, you can choose Quyang Lake; the boat ride is CNY 66, and it truly lives up to its reputation as an "ocean" in the mountains 🛶 Jiuzhou Ancient Town is CNY 46. Known as the "Hometown of Chinese Embroidered Balls," the bluestone alleys are full of grandmas selling handmade embroidered balls. It truly lives up to its name as a living museum of Zhuang culture. Gulongshan Grand Canyon has a CNY 99 hiking ticket. If you want to go rafting, get the CNY 208 package. You'll travel through mountains, waters, and caves, and you'll be screaming until your voice goes hoarse. I recommend setting aside half a day for the Dashiwei Sinkhole Group. Beneath the Cloud Sea Sky Boat is a bottomless abyss—even if your legs are shaking, you have to take a photo 📸 As someone with a fear of heights, my faith collapsed for three seconds before I went up, but it was worth it. The Baise Uprising Memorial Hall is free. It's located at No. 112 Chengdong Avenue. Don't miss it if you're a fan of revolutionary history. 🍜 Food recommendations (the part foodies will love) Baise cuisine blends flavors from Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, with a wild touch. I gained 3 pounds by the time I went back 🙃 For breakfast, you must try the rolled rice noodles. They're CNY 5 each. The rice skin is thin enough to see through, wrapped with green beans, wood ear mushrooms, and minced meat, then drizzled with sauce and chili sauce—one bite and you're in heaven. Roast duck noodles are also the breakfast for locals; the skin is crispy, the meat is juicy, and it's served with pork bone broth. It's so delicious you'll lick the bowl clean. For a main meal, I recommend blood curd duck. Duck blood is mixed with sticky rice, steamed into blood curd, then pan-fried until fragrant and cooked with local duck. It's soft, sticky, and absorbs all the juices—one bite and you're hooked 🦆 "Youjiang River Fish Pot" features a mix of blue knife fish, catfish, and yellow catfish stewed together in one pot, with a sweet and clear broth. The big fish head from Chengbi Lake is slow-cooked in a clay pot with sour bamboo shoots—it's appetizing and cuts through the greasiness. Everyone on the snack street has a bag of "suanye" (pickled fruit/veg). Green mango, guava, and radish are soaked in vinegar and sprinkled with chili salt—it's sour, sweet, spicy, and crunchy, and you won't be able to stop eating it 🥭 There's also five-colored sticky rice, dyed with natural plants, which is full of auspicious meaning. Longlin black zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are made with glutinous rice dyed with sesame stalk ash and boiled for 8–10 hours. They have a woody ash aroma and a soft, sticky texture—a must-have for festivals. If you're feeling adventurous, try the grilled pig eyes featured in "Life on a Skewer." You bite into the whole thing and it bursts—it's savory and has absolutely no gamey smell. I felt so silly the first time I tried it—it was actually delicious 😂 Mango lovers should come in July or August when they're sweetest. Guiqi mangoes are fragrant and have very little fiber. Freshly squeezed juice on the street is CNY 8–15/cup. 💡 Travel tips (hard-earned experience) In September, the temperature in Baise is 25–32℃, but there are many extreme precipitation events during the late flood season, and the risk of rainstorms is high. I didn't check the weather forecast on the third day and got soaked like a drowned rat—I felt so silly 🌧️ Sunscreen, a light jacket, and rain gear must be permanently packed in your suitcase. Attractions are super spread out, so I don't recommend relying on public transportation. Driving yourself or hiring a car is the way to go. I foolishly tried to take a bus on the first day and found that the schedules were incredibly sparse, so I immediately switched to hiring a car for CNY 150–200 a day, which is much less stressful than constantly calling taxis. It's much cooler in the canyons than outside, and the ground is slippery, so non-slip shoes are a must. Sunscreen and mosquito repellent should be permanently attached to you, otherwise you'll get tanned and covered in bites, and you'll be the one suffering 🦟 Remember to bring a change of clothes for rafting! I wore jeans to go rafting at Gulongshan, and my wet pants stuck to my legs all day afterward—what a silly thing to do 😅 I recommend booking tickets via Trip.com. The Tongling Grand Canyon + Dongnayu Bay combo ticket is CNY 199, and the Gulongshan hiking + Tongling double ticket is CNY 416, which is cheaper than buying them separately. Jingxi to Detian Waterfall is on the way. If you have enough time, you can add a one-day cross-border tour to Vietnam; the route doesn't backtrack. To be honest, Baise in September has fewer crowds, friendly prices, and crystal-clear landscapes—it's a golden window. But if you just rush over without a plan, you'll really suffer—the attractions are spread out, the mountain roads are winding, and rainstorms can happen at any time. If you're well-prepared, it will perfectly live up to its title as "Guangxi's underrated landscape secret" ✨ On the way back, I was already scrolling through Trip.com to see when I could come back. This place is addictive 🥹🌈

I found a little-known waterfall in Jingxi, Baise! The cold water waterfall in Longlin is absolutely stunning 🥹 🆓 The best part is it’s free! When we went, there was no one else around. Who understands the joy of enjoying the whole waterfall alone! 💃 📸 Photo spots revealed: 1️⃣ High viewing platform for overhead shots Stand up high and shoot downward. With a tiny person against the spectacular waterfall, every shot looks like a masterpiece! 📷 2️⃣ Close-up at the railing Walk up to the railing for a close shot and feel the cool splash of the waterfall on your face—super refreshing! 💦 3️⃣ Perfect shots on the trail Take your time walking the path beside the waterfall. Sit casually on the side with the waterfall as your background—it looks like a painting! 🎨 💡 Tips: · Wear bright colors for better photos · Remember to bring non-slip shoes · A waterproof phone case is very useful This place is perfect for a weekend escape! No crowds, just the beauty of nature with you 🏞️

Thinking Guilin’s landscape was stunning enough, I discovered in Baise that western Guangxi offers another kind of magnificent scenery. It features the grandeur of sinkhole canyons, the gentle charm of clear springs and ancient towns, and a rich Zhuang ethnic culture. With few tourists, the experience is fully immersive. D1 Cultural slow tour in the city | Stay in Baise city Morning: Visit the Baise Uprising Memorial Park. Free online reservation is required. Explore the memorial hall and the Guangdong East Guild Hall, then climb to the top for a panoramic view of the Youjiang River. Closed on Mondays, so don’t go if it’s Monday. Afternoon: Stroll along Jiefang Street arcade old street, browse Zhuang brocade and Mo Mie intangible cultural heritage shops, and soak in the old town’s lively atmosphere. Evening: Find local food at Xiagang Street night market. Try roast duck rice noodles, rolled rice noodles, and various sour dishes for an immersive local nightlife experience. D2 Scenic painting of Jingxi | Stay in Jingxi Morning: Head to E Spring, the source of Detian Waterfall. The emerald spring water paired with the ancient Fifteen-Arch Bridge creates a perfect misty morning atmosphere. You can take a bamboo raft to leisurely float through the countryside. Afternoon: Visit Old Zhou Ancient Town, known as the hometown of Chinese embroidered balls. Walk on bluestone slabs over flowing water and ancient bridges. Try making embroidered balls by hand and experience Zhuang folk customs. Evening: Explore Tongling Grand Canyon, walk through the primeval rainforest, and see waterfalls hundreds of feet high cascading down. The shade keeps it cool in summer. Remember to wear non-slip shoes. D3 Mountain lakes and a relaxing return Morning: Visit Haokun Lake, a karst lake high in the mountains. The water is clear like jade. Walk around the lake or take a boat tour to enjoy the green mountains and clear water. Enjoy local specialty food, buy mango souvenirs, and end the trip with your return. ✨Travel tips 1. Attractions are far apart. Self-driving or chartering a car offers the best experience. 2. The canyon and cave floors are slippery. Be sure to wear non-slip sports shoes. Bring sun protection and rain gear in summer. 3. Specialty foods: five-color glutinous rice, Longlin black rice dumplings, sour soup fish. Mangoes are a must-eat seasonal fruit. 4. The memorial park is closed on Mondays. Plan your itinerary accordingly.

Hygiene is the foundation, service is the soul Persevere without slackening! No detail is too small in a hotel. Cleanliness in the details is key. Improve quality and efficiency, and focus on excellence and branding

Spicy pork bone stir-fry with cured meat Location: Local farmhouse restaurants in Longlin county seat or Jinzhongshan Township (no fixed shop name in the village, ask locals for directions) Average cost: 30–50 yuan per person Must-try dishes: Spicy pork bone stir-fry with cured meat, spicy pork bone mixed with rice Review: Spicy pork bone is a traditional Longlin Miao food made by crushing pig bones and mixing them with chili powder, salt, wine, and Sichuan peppercorns, then sealed to ferment. It’s spicy but not overpowering, fragrant, tender, and smooth. Stir-fried with cured meat, it’s perfect with rice. Suitable for those who enjoy spicy food. 2. Longlin black sticky rice dumplings Location: Street food stalls in Longlin county seat or local homes in Jinzhongshan Township Average cost: 5–10 yuan each Must-try dish: Black sticky rice dumpling Review: Known as the “black peony,” Longlin black sticky rice dumplings are made by soaking glutinous rice in wood ash water and wrapping it with pork belly, mung beans, and chestnuts.

Transportation guide External transport: High-speed trains to Baise Station, then transfer to a shuttle bus to Longlin county seat (about 2.5 hours); or drive directly to Longlin.

From Jinzhongshan Township to Pingliu Village is about 4 km, accessible by walking or local rides. All travel uses official shuttle buses with no detours, offering excellent value. Avoid unlicensed vehicles and private charters. Accommodation recommendations Prefer the area around Yingbin Road and the bus station in Longlin county seat. Yaste Hotel (Longlin Yingbin Road branch) is located in the bustling city center, near the main bus station, night food street, and large supermarkets, within a 15-minute walk. City Convenience Hotel (Longlin Xinglong Street branch) is next to the bus station, convenient for travel with a rich breakfast. Accommodation options in Jinzhongshan Township are limited; it’s recommended to stay in the county seat and make day trips, or arrange to stay with local families in advance (basic conditions, bring your own toiletries). Real pitfall avoidance guide 1. Avoid private guides and low-price sales tricks at the scenic area entrance—Pingliu Village has no commercial soliciting, stay alert if approached. 2. Do not buy overpriced souvenirs at the scenic area entrance—there are no official souvenir shops in the village; buy black sticky rice dumplings and spicy pork bone in official shops in Longlin county seat. 3. Only trust official ticket channels—all Jinzhongshan scenic areas and villages are free to enter, no online booking required. 4. Avoid peak holiday periods—early July weekdays have very few visitors, weekends are slightly busier but still quiet, off-peak visits offer a better experience. Essential items for travel (July only) Average temperature in Longlin in July is 25–34°C with moderate rainfall. Essentials: sunscreen, sun hat, comfortable flat shoes (for village stone paths and forest hikes), sunglasses, water bottle, light jacket (cool mornings and evenings in the mountains), power bank, insect repellent (many forest insects), flashlight (village lighting is weak at night), rain gear (occasional showers in July). This trip is relaxing and healing with a slow pace—explore ancient villages and primeval forests by day, watch cooking smoke and count stars at dusk. It’s a less crowded, authentic experience with no food disappointments, excellent value at 500 yuan per person. Perfect for solo travelers seeking peace, low cost, and slow living. All tips are based on real experience, so beginners can follow this plan easily and enjoy Longlin Jinzhongshan with ease.

Some places make you want to stay silent once you step inside—not because you have nothing to say, but because the quiet is so peaceful you don’t want to break it. Like tea gardens. Mountains covered in green, layer upon layer, with leaves rustling in the breeze. Sitting there, you don’t have to think about anything. Just watching is enough to calm your mind. Here are 4 beautiful tea gardens, each with its own style, all worth slowing down for. 🍃 Huishui Miao Gulu Tea Garden, Guizhou | A “free” healing tea mountain just 1 hour from Guiyang In the countryside of Huishui County, Qiannan, there’s a wild tea garden even locals might not know about. It’s just a 1-hour drive from Guiyang, with no entrance fee, no tourists, and no commercial vibe. Only vast stretches of tea trees rolling like waves to the horizon. Wildflowers sway in the breeze between the rows, and the air carries the fresh scent of rice. Healing moment: Stand on the hillside overlooking the endless green tea sea, with blue sky and white clouds as the backdrop. Every photo looks like a pastoral masterpiece. The afternoon sun is the gentlest. Wear a light-colored dress and stand among the tea bushes, wrapped in green. 📍 Miao Gulu Tea Garden, outskirts of Huishui County, Qiannan, Guizhou | 🚗 About 1 hour drive from Guiyang | 💰 Free 🌄 Sanchongyuan High Mountain Tea Garden, Longlin, Guangxi | A 1,680m cloud tea mountain waiting for a golden sunset At 1,680 meters above sea level, this high mountain tea garden is the perfect spot to watch the Longlin sunset. When the sun sets, golden light spreads across the tea mountain, and the tea pickers’ shadows stretch in the backlight. Here, you can pick and process tea yourself and capture cinematic travel photos. Healing moment: Arrive after 4 PM and watch the sun slowly sink behind the mountain. The tea mountain changes from emerald green to golden yellow, then to warm orange.

Outfit: Light colors match the green tea garden best. A straw hat and woven bag add a rustic touch. Wear comfortable flat shoes as some walking on tea paths is needed. 2. Essentials: Mosquito repellent is a must; there are many insects in the tea garden. The afternoon light is the gentlest on sunny days, so avoid midday sun. 3. Respect: Tea fields are the farmers’ hard work. Don’t step on tea trees and take photos respectfully. Take all your trash with you to keep this green space beautiful. 💬 Join the conversation: Which stunning tea garden do you want to visit most?

Karst peaks, lakes, sinkholes, and historic towns are all here, with costs cut in half. 📌Trip highlights & 3-day plan Day 1 Cultural rest in the city Visit the Baise Uprising Memorial Park for free and climb up for a panoramic view of the You River.

#holidayitinerary (Wanfeng Lake Cruise: 'Sailing in the Reflected Paradise of Karst' and the Duet of Mountain-Water Mirror Worlds) This is not a simple boat ride; it is a voyage across the sky. The Wanfeng Lake (万峰湖) cruise is an essential ritual, the only way to truly complete your encounter with the Wanfenglin landscape. While the peaks impress from land, they mesmerize from the water. The lake, a vast man-made reservoir, acts as a perfect, glassy pane, dissolving the horizon and creating a sublime, symmetrical world where every peak is doubled and the boat seems to glide through the clouds. This is a journey into tranquility, reflection, and the heart of a painted scroll, where the line between the real and the reflected blurs into irrelevance. Step aboard and feel the world flip: 💧 The Liquid Canvas: The water is astonishingly still and clear, functioning as a gigantic natural mirror. The thousands of karst peaks of Wanfenglin are not just surrounding you; they are duplicated perfectly below you, creating a 360-degree immersion in beauty. 🏞️ Shifting Perspectives: From the deck, your viewpoint is constantly changing. Peaks that appeared solitary from land reveal themselves as part of sprawling ridges. Hidden coves, fishing villages, and lush, water-level foliage become visible, offering an intimate look at the lake's ecosystem. ⛰️ The Silence of the Gorges: As the boat moves into narrower channels between the peaks, the world grows quiet. The engine's hum fades, and you're surrounded by towering walls of rock and greenery, feeling the immense, peaceful scale of nature.

Longlin is a county town surrounded by mountains, with many lush flowers, plants, and trees on the mountains. The flowing river is clear and the fish in the river are vivid. Most of the people in De'e Town are Miao people. You can also rent Miao costumes and experience Miao customs (the first picture is Miao costume, Miao costumes are various, this is just one of them), these have become a beautiful landscape in my hometown. The picture is a corner of Longlin, specific address: Haizi, Kechang Township, Longlin Various Nationalities Autonomous County

This is the most comfortable hotel I have ever stayed in. The location of the hotel is excellent, very close to Henderson Plaza and Forest Center City, less than a 10-minute walk away, and the night view is very nice. There is a free parking lot and complimentary milk tea and coffee, and the breakfast variety is plentiful. What is particularly commendable is the overall service level of the hotel, from the front desk staff to the room service staff, everyone is very enthusiastic and attentive. The hotel also has a free laundry room, and if you have checked out but still have things to do the next day, your car can continue to stay in the hotel's free parking. I always stay here whenever I come to the hotel.

I must say, the decor style of the Renaissance in Nanning is slightly reminiscent of a 'W' haha Last month, when I traveled to Guangxi, I chose the Renaissance for my last day after a little heart-to-heart, and they upgraded me to an executive room for being a platinum member. But to be honest, the room didn't feel very spacious and was full of disappointing aspects.
