Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and experience the pristine Miao village style: Recommended scenery of Yuanshan Mountain in Rongshui

In Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, Liuzhou, Guangxi, there is a mountain shaped like a sycee, named 'Yuanshan Mountain'. The adorable appearance of Yuanshan Mountain belies its impressive strength. Yuanshan Mountain is located 60 kilometers north of the county town of Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, belonging to the transition zone from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the Guangxi Basin. Together with Jiuwan Mountain and Phoenix Mountain, it forms the geomorphic framework of this vast mountainous area. The strata here are ancient, and the terrain is high and steep. The main peak of Yuanshan Mountain has an altitude of 2081 meters, making it the third highest peak in Guangxi. The strata it sits on are also the oldest land in Guangxi, hence it is known as the 'Ancestor Mountain of Guangxi'. Xiaosang Village in Antai Township, Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, is located on the western slope of Yuanshan Mountain. The entire village is at an altitude of over 600 meters, making it a high-cold mountainous area in northwest Guangxi. Xiaosang Village boasts beautiful natural scenery and simple folk customs. On the high mountains at an altitude of a thousand meters, the terraced fields are like chains and belts, layered and staggered, magnificent and majestic. The water surface reflects the blue sky and ancient trees, representing idyllic scenery. From the foot of Yuanshan Mountain, the terraced fields always spiral in the mountains. Looking down from the mountain, one can see the beautiful lines of the terraced fields. The terraced fields of Xiaosang Village are grand and magnificent, with flowing and smooth lines. From the rushing river valleys to the cloud-covered mountain peaks, from the lush forest edges to the steep stone cliffs, wherever there is soil, terraced fields have been developed. The vertical height reaches three to five miles, and the horizontal extension is five to six miles. The undulating, towering mountains are like steps leading to the blue sky. Shangqing Village on the western slope of Yuanshan Mountain has an average altitude of over 600 meters and is a typical high-cold mountainous area in northwest Guangxi. The village is covered with granite, and the villagers have adapted to the local conditions by building wooden houses and granaries on the exposed granite. Over time, many buildings have taken on the appearance of being built on stones, earning the name 'Stone Houses'. Yuanshan Village, located at the foot of the third highest peak in South China, Yuanshan Mountain, is a long-standing settlement of the Miao people. The village has a rich history, simple folk customs, and a deep cultural heritage. The world-famous 'Lusheng Horse Fighting' originated here. The 'Lusheng Horse Fighting Festival on the Eleventh Day of the First Lunar Month', 'Yifen Valentine's Day Festival', and 'New Rice Festival on the Sixth Day of the Sixth Lunar Month' are listed as national intangible cultural heritage. Additionally, the sea of rhododendrons, ancient pines, thousand-acre terraced fields, Rongke Pool Waterfall, sunrise sea of clouds, and other picturesque sceneries make Yuanshan Village a prominent tourist 'name card'. The Wild Man Valley Scenic Area is located on the western side of Yuanshan Mountain, featuring forest and canyon landscapes and Miao ethnic customs. The main attractions include Wild Man Waterfall, Fairy Waterfall, Hundred-foot Flying Waterfall, Seven-level Waterfall, Fairy Bath Pool, Flying Stone, Toad Stone, thousand-year-old fir trees, and many national-level precious flora and fauna such as black bears, fir trees, and five-needle pines. Zhengduo Village in Yuanshan Village, Antai Township, is located at the foot of Yuanshan Mountain and is a long-standing settlement of the Miao people. The village has a rich history, simple folk customs, and a deep cultural heritage. The world-famous 'Lusheng Horse Fighting' originated here. Yuanshan Mountain National Forest Park retains strong Miao characteristics in customs, residential buildings, language, and clothing. There are many attractions here, worth exploring slowly.
