The front hall of the Chuntai Lianggong Temple is engraved on the front door. The gable walls on both sides of the second hall are hard mountain top structures. The foundation is made of long strip-shaped large bluestone, and the foundation is made of green brick walls and green tile roofs. The eaves and room eaves are decorated with flying eaves, and the walls on both sides of the ridge are "official hat" shaped high walls. The house oak beams are all beautifully carved with patterns. At that time, there were more than 40 brothers in the descendants who worked together to build this temple, which took 13 years. The temple retains the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, elegant and luxurious, peculiar and solemn.

Lingzu Village, Jinxin, Guangxi.
Lingzu Village is nestled between Tiantang Mountain (1,579m) to the west and Xiaoshiyun Mountain to the north. The village is divided into two parts by the valley formed by the junction of Xiaoshiyun Mountain and Tiantang Mountain: Dacun and Lingzu. Lingzu has a population of nearly 200, all of whom are from the Chashan Yao ethnic group. Historically, Lingzu Village has had its moments of glory. In 1952, the Yao Autonomous Region of Dayaoshan (county level, predecessor of Jinxin Yao Autonomous County) People's Government was established, with jurisdiction over Jinxin, Sanjiao, Lingzu, Luoxiang, Changtong, and Xinhe. The entire Lingzu District of the former Mengshan County (including Chetian, Lingzu, Pushui, Linxiu, Gaoyuan, Lili, Liugan, and Gupu) was incorporated into Jinxin County. It was not until later that Zhongliang Township was established and the government was relocated to present-day Zhongliang. In the 1970s, a film reflecting the suppression of bandits in Yaoshan, "Yaoshan Spring," was shot by Changchun Film Studio in Zhongliang Township. Many scenes in the film were shot in Lingzu Village. Today, if you look back at the film, you will find that the Yao village road in the film is still well preserved. Walking into Lingzu, you will be moved by the idyllic scenery. The houses are built on the hillside, and from the hillside to the valley are terraced fields built by the Yao people over hundreds of years. The fields are in front of the houses, and the valley and village can be seen in the distance. Everything is a sight to behold. The village is listed as a traditional Chinese village.
Guangxi Jinxiu Panwang Valley "Merit Archway".
The "Merit Archway" is a four-pillar, three-bay, five-story stone archway. It was erected by the emperor to commend the Minister of Rites, Wang Shibai. The age of the archway is unknown, and it seems to have been erected during the Ming or Qing Dynasty. The front of the archway has the words "Commemorating Minister of Rites, Wang Shibai" and "Imperial Edict", and the back has the words "Grace and Honor". The archway has well-preserved openwork stone carvings. The carvings of people, animals, and birds are vivid and exquisite, making it a rare stone carving artwork.
Guangxi Jinxiu Gubu Ancient Village.
Hidden deep in the misty Jinxiu Daoyao Mountain is an ancient and mysterious village - Gubu Village. The unique ethnic customs here shine brightly, and the forest coverage rate of up to 87.99% makes it like a green pearl. Stepping into Gubu Village, you can see the yellow wall and green tile stilted buildings. It is said that the stilted building is a unique architectural method of the Tea Mountain Yao, which is a place for women who are ready to go out, and it is also a romantic attic where women test men who love them and talk about love. These ancient houses are not only treasures of architectural art, but also faithful recorders of history and culture, carrying the wisdom and precious memories of the life of the Yao ancestors.
The origin of the name of Gubu Village is full of mysterious colors, and it is closely related to a frog. It is said that the Yao people chose to migrate to the deep mountains and old forests in order to avoid wars and oppression. The ancestors came here and saw a frog in the deep mountain ditch, quietly lying on the stone, so they went up to catch it. What is amazing is that this frog is motionless. The ancestors believed that this place was peaceful and suitable for living. Therefore, the villagers named this place "Gubu" based on the homophonic sound of the scene where the frog always lay on the stone (dialect called "Gupu").
Gubu Village is built on the mountain. This is a tea mountain Yao village with only 37 households and more than 100 residents. Among these green mountains, there are thousands of precious medicinal materials. The 76-year-old Yao doctor Su Deliu proudly told reporters that in the early years, he worked hard to explore rare medicinal materials from other places and carefully transplanted them to the valley in front of the village. Now there are hundreds of rare medicinal materials here, which has become his "Medicine King Valley". The fifth batch of traditional Chinese villages.
Guangxi Jinxiu Yao Museum.
Jinxiu Yao Museum is located on the east side of the county. It was established in 1991 and officially opened to the public in November 1992.

It covers an area of more than 6,000 square meters, with a building area of 4,700 square meters and an exhibition hall area of 2,200 square meters. It is a Yao-style residential building. The museum name was inscribed by Mr. Fei Xiaotong, a famous sociologist in China and former vice chairman of the National People's Congress. It is the first Yao Museum in China. The Yao Museum currently has more than 4,000 collections, including 2 national first-class cultural relics, 22 national second-class cultural relics, and 155 national third-class cultural relics. The collections in the museum have strong ethnic characteristics, especially the unique Yao costumes. There are more than 300 sets of Yao costumes collected from all over the country and abroad. It is the museum with the largest number and the most complete types of Yao costumes in China. At present, the Yao Museum has set up functional exhibition halls such as World Yao, Chinese Yao, and Jinxiu Yao. The exhibition is divided into nine parts: the preface hall, Yao origin, Yao mountain home, Yao embroidery, Yao charm, Han relics, Yao medicine, Yao medicine, Shihpai culture, and Yao hometown. The entire display and exhibition is mainly based on Yao themes, becoming a microcosm of Yao society and an important window for Jinxiu to display Yao culture. The visit takes about 40 minutes.
Jinxiu Liuxiang Ancient Village, Guangxi.
Liuxiang Tun is located on the main mountain range of Dayao Mountain. Due to its high altitude, the climate is cool, making it a great summer resort. The wooden houses here are well preserved, making it one of the best-preserved villages in Dayao Mountain. The village is built on the mountain, with wooden houses and gray tiles. The stone base is very simple. The entire village is on the southwest side of Wuzhi Mountain. The village and Wuzhi Mountain echo each other, which is very beautiful. The Yao ethnic houses here are well preserved and very primitive. In the 1930s, the famous sociologist Fei Xiaotong visited Dayao Mountain and lived in the village. The village has 15 intangible cultural heritage projects at all levels and 17 representative inheritors of intangible cultural heritage projects. It is a famous "intangible cultural heritage village" locally, and the Huangni Drum Dance is the most famous. The fifth batch of traditional Chinese villages and Chinese ethnic minority characteristic villages.
Langchong Ancient Village, Jinxiu, Guangxi
Deep in the mountains of Guangxi, there is a little-known village called Langchong. This village, surrounded by mountains and shrouded in mist, is known as the "village in the clouds" due to its primitive natural scenery and simple folk customs. Langchong Village is 1,599 meters above sea level and is said to be the highest village in South China. Walking into Langchong Village is like entering a paradise isolated from the world. The air here is particularly fresh, and every breath seems to smell of nature. The houses in the village are mostly made of earth and wood, and the yellow mud walls and black tiles form a unique architectural style. The houses are generally single buildings with courtyards, some of which still retain the traditional duplex architectural style, giving people a simple and quiet feeling. The roads in the village are winding and winding, passing through fields and small rivers, forming a beautiful pastoral picture. In Langchong Village, you can feel a kind of tranquility and harmony that is indifferent to the world. The villagers work at sunrise and rest at sunset, leading a simple and simple life.

👍 Jinshow Shengtang Grand Canyon (not the starting point for climbing Shengtang Mountain)
The mountain is shrouded in mist, and the stream flows at the foot of the mountain. It takes about 2 hours from Laibin and Liuzhou city center, 1 hour on the expressway + half an hour on the county road + half an hour on the mountain road. Although the mountain road is winding, the road conditions are good. Just drive slowly.
📍 Detailed address:
Daling Village, Dalingtun, Liuxiang Township, Jinshow Yao Autonomous County, Guangxi.
At the foot of the mountain is the Daling Village Committee, with homestays but few restaurants. The dishes are mainly home-cooked, with affordable prices. Halfway up the mountain is the "Yaotianxia Scenic Area". You can navigate to Yaotianxia or Jinshow County Daling Village, free of charge. It is recommended to book accommodation in advance!
📝 Note tips:
Because it is located deep in the mountains, you will pass through winding mountain roads and cliff-side roads. A 29-kilometer sky road has been built on the cliff, which is relatively narrow. Please ensure you have good driving skills. There are many sharp turns, which can easily cause motion sickness.
The homestay has a restaurant with a skilled chef. The chef also prepares barbecue in the evening, but please book in advance to avoid lack of ingredients!
The Mount Saint Cathedral in Guangxi is so beautiful!
Guangxi Jinxiu is really too unfamiliar to outsiders. By chance, I learned about Wuxuan, and after asking the locals in Laibin, they said that the scenery in Jinxiu is even more beautiful, so I went straight to Mount Saint Cathedral!
The average temperature here is 17 degrees Celsius, and the hills are covered with azaleas (unfortunately they had all fallen by the time I went), the sea of clouds that surrounds the mountains, the layered peaks, when you see the natural landscape that seems to be crafted by the gods, like the sky-cut stone walls cleaved by a divine axe, you really exclaim: Nature is so beautiful and wonderful! (Videos and photos can't capture that beauty, and it's indescribable in words. Only by being there in person, immersing yourself in it, and seeing the beauty with your own eyes can you truly appreciate it. At this moment, you feel the lack of your own cultural knowledge, even forgetting most of Li Bai's poetry, what a pity!)
We embraced the traditional Chinese virtue of perseverance and went up the mountain despite the rain. During the ascent, due to the rain, the fog was thick and visibility was very low. If you walked a bit faster, you would lose sight of your friends when you turned around! Our clothes and socks were soaked through, but the mountain spring water was really cool and refreshing~ We were lucky that the rain stopped when we reached the summit, so during the descent, the fog gradually cleared and we saw the sea of clouds. Although it wasn't very dense, we were very satisfied. Thank you, Mother Nature, and our luck~
Jinxiu's ancient Shagou in Guangxi
Jinxiu is a county with a large number of Yao ethnic branches in the world and an autonomous county where Yao culture is well preserved. It enjoys the reputation of 'World Yao Capital' and maintains intact ecological resources and a pleasant climate environment, making Jinxiu a sanctuary for ecological health preservation and a retreat from the heat. The Jinxiu ancient Shagou scenic area is located on the eastern side of Jinxiu County, consisting of attractions such as the Changliu River Gorge rafting, Niuling Peak Red Maple Forest, Lingzu ancient village, Lingzu Grand Canyon, Bale Yao tribe highland settlement, and Tianlan Mountain scenic overlook. The scenic area has a naturally serene ecological environment, lush and pristine forest landscapes, and a comfortable climate, with an average annual temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a romantic place that integrates mountain appreciation, leisure vacation, experiencing highland tribal life, and high-altitude gliding activities. The pristine ecological scenery is everywhere, with clear mountains and beautiful waters, and strange peaks standing tall. The mountain springs are as clear as crystals and as green as jade, with soft and sweet-tasting water. The stream flows gently, with playful fish, lush forests, and the constant sound of birds; macaques frolic. The verdant bamboo decorates this place into a green world; colorful pebbles are scattered like pearls and agates in the Nengqin River in the Lingzu Grand Canyon, which is breathtaking. The faint morning mist, hazy and veiling the mountains and waters, is full of vitality and an ideal place for a summer retreat.
Jinxiu Sacred Lake
The scenic area offers boat tours. Taking a boat tour in October, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and cool, comfortable weather. It's very relaxing to feel the breeze and take in the views. The scenery is similar to that of the Hechi Little Three Gorges, and it is said that this place is also known as the Little Three Gorges. Both scenic areas are very beautiful and worth visiting. The area also has camping, barbecue, and water play spots, as well as restaurants. I heard that the rafting is also good, and I would like to try it next time.
The boat ticket is 108 yuan per person if purchased on-site, but it seems there are discounts for online purchases, although you need to buy them at least two hours in advance. The scenic area has a parking lot, and the road into the scenic area is easy to navigate. It's ten kilometers from Shengtang Mountain, so you can visit both attractions together.
Chapel Hill
Climbing Chapel Hill in the rain.【Location】: Shengtang Mountain Scenic Area, Jinxiu County, Guangxi
【Ticket】: The ticket is 65 yuan, and it costs 30 yuan to take a shuttle bus from the foot of the mountain to the mountain waist entrance and back, with a parking fee of 15 yuan.
【Transportation】: Navigate to Shengtang Mountain Scenic Area. There are many bends and ups and downs on the national road from Jinxiu County to the scenic area, so control your speed. Try to go early for a visit to the scenic area, because there is no shuttle bus down the mountain after 18:00 (it may be delayed to 19:00 on weekends and holidays), and it costs extra for a special car to go down the mountain, which is said to be not cheap.
【Hiking Strategy】: The peak of Shengtang Mountain is 1979 meters above sea level. The hiking trail is made of large stones, and it is not very even with varying lengths, heights, and steepness. There are handrails on most parts, and the difficulty of climbing is moderate. At two-thirds of the climb, there is a fork in the road; to the left is the path leading directly to the top of the mountain after reaching the Yunhai Hotel, which is a shorter distance but steeper, and there is not much scenery to see; to the right is also a path to the top of the mountain, which is gentler, like walking in the crevices of the mountains, with cliffs on the outside and beautiful scenery, including clouds entwined around the peaks and green pines, as if you are in the midst of the clouds. Many people choose this path for both ascent and descent. There is a three-story pavilion on the top of the mountain for viewing the sea of clouds, sunrise, and sunset. The distance from the entrance to the top is about 6 kilometers, taking about 2.5 hours, and the total round trip is nearly 11 kilometers, taking about 4.5 hours.
【Dining】There are farm restaurants and noodle shops at the parking lot at the foot of the mountain. There are food stalls near the mountain waist entrance, with small zongzi for 6 yuan, tea eggs for 3 yuan, and porridge available. There are also food stalls a quarter of the way up the mountain, but the prices are a bit expensive. There is a water stall on the top of the mountain, selling a bottle of purified water for 10 yuan.
【Summary】The hiking trail is long and steep, with frequent weather changes, and the weather forecast is not very accurate. This hike encountered rain, and many people chose to descend halfway. The road is wet and slippery when it is foggy and rainy, so bring a walking stick, raincoat, and wear anti-slip hiking shoes. The scenic area also sells bamboo sticks and raincoats for 2 yuan each; bring water and a small amount of food. It is not very suitable for children below primary school age to hike.

The scenic and less-crowded Mount Shengtang
Mount Shengtang is located in Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County, Laibin City, Guangxi, with an altitude of 1979 meters, and is the highest peak in central Guangxi. The mountain is majestic and beautiful, shrouded in mist, and in May, the azaleas bloom splendidly, making it an overwhelming sight. Therefore, the mountain, sea of clouds, and sea of flowers are collectively known as the three wonders of Mount Shengtang.
The usual way to visit is to take a sightseeing bus from the entrance at the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain, which takes about 40 minutes, and then walk up the mountain on the steps along the mountain paths. There is no cable car or ropeway in the scenic area, and it takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to walk from the start to the summit, so it is necessary to plan your visit time well, and those with poor physical strength or mobility should not force themselves to climb.
Precautions:
1. It often rains on the mountain, and the rain often comes unexpectedly, so please bring rain gear.
2. Because the visit takes a long time and consumes physical strength, it is appropriate to bring food and water. There are supply points on the mountain trail selling food and water, which are slightly more expensive than at the foot of the mountain, after all, there is the cost of human labor.
3. There is accommodation on the mountain; there is a Jinxiu Shengtang Mountain Villa at the sightseeing bus parking lot halfway up the mountain, and there are homestays near the scenic area at the foot of the mountain, and of course, you can also stay in the county town.

The top of Wuzhishan in Jinxui Dayao Mountain, Laibin, Guangxi, has reached a new altitude! 🏞️ This is probably the last chance to climb the summit in 2023.
In this weekend's drifting diary, I set foot on the top of Wuzhishan in Jinxui Dayao Mountain, a new high-altitude adventure. The view from the top of the mountain is breathtaking, as if you are in the clouds. 🌄

Looking forward to more mountains and rivers, more adventures, may we continue to pursue our dreams in the embrace of nature. 🚀📸
