I really want to take this piece of natural jade home!!
When you are deeply attracted by the blue lake and the beautiful scenery of the sky and water at Gengwang Lake, and a strong desire arises in your heart to take this natural jade treasure home, why not carefully plan your visit first.
Travel Guide:
Self-driving: Considering the increase in traffic and people during holidays, it is recommended to start early to avoid congestion and parking difficulties.
Group travel: Choose to join a one-day tour of Gengwang Lake, which is not only worry-free and labor-saving but also has a professional guide to lead the exploration. The round-trip transportation cost from Nanning is only 144 yuan, which is very cost-effective.
Food Exploration:
Near the entrance of the Gengwang Lake scenic area, there are two highly-rated restaurants waiting for you to try. The dishes here are not only delicious but also very affordable, even cheaper than in Nanning city. A bowl of authentic Laoyou noodles costs only 8 yuan, and the buckwheat cakes and fried river fish made by the villagers by the lake are unforgettable snacks.
Recommended Travel Route:
Starting the journey, you will first be greeted by a fresh and dreamy sea of buckwheat flowers, as if you are in a fairy tale world.
Then, along the way to the first lake, the beautiful scenery continues, and you can enjoy the gifts of nature while walking and taking photos.
From the first lake to the second lake, you need to climb a mountain. Choosing to hike allows you to experience the beauty of nature more deeply; if you choose to take a boat, be aware that you may miss the best spot to overlook the second lake.
After the second lake, the stone forest and caves await your exploration. Although the stone forest may not be fully visible during the wet season, the interplay of light and shadow in the cave will surely produce many beautiful photos.
Finally, whether you choose to take a boat or hike, the journey back from the second lake to the first lake is a test of physical strength and perseverance. It is advisable to bring water and snacks to replenish energy at any time.
Throughout the trip, remember to arrange your time reasonably and choose the appropriate mode of transportation according to your physical condition. The beauty of Gengwang Lake is worth your heartfelt experience and record.

Are you free? Let's open a 'Gengwang Lake' mystery box together
Gengwang Lake is a seasonal lake that becomes a lake in summer and autumn and a meadow in winter and spring. The scenery found online is far different, and some even call it 'Disappointment Lake' after visiting. This landscape, formed by climate characteristics, is like opening a mystery box - a thousand different faces, where the scene can change dramatically just with the timing of a rain shower.
Transportation: It takes over two hours to drive there from Nanning.
Admission: This spot is still undeveloped, so there is no admission fee, and parking is also free.
📷Photo spots:
1. At the entrance of the lake, there is a large field of buckwheat flowers. You can find your favorite spot to take photos on the road from the distribution point. Choose according to the season, as the buckwheat flower sea is not always there, and do not trample into it at will.
2. There are many people camping next to the lake, which is not suitable for taking pictures of the large scenery, but you can queue up near the lakeside.
3. The mountaintop at the entrance to the second lake is the best check-in photo spot, where you can capture the entire scenic area.
4. By the second lake, there are many small lawns where you can run, relax, and take photos of 'mountains, rivers, forests, and fields'.
5. Walking from the second lake towards the rock cave, there is a stone forest, where any casual shot is a masterpiece.
🗒️Tips:
1. Dress as lightly as possible, and essentials like mosquito repellent and a small medicine box are indispensable.
2. There is a big temperature difference between day and night, so keep warm to avoid catching a cold.
3. There is a fork in the road when entering the cave; remember to go left to reach the stone forest, and during the high water period, take the tung oil direction.
4. Outdoor hiking and camping can be dangerous, so proceed according to your abilities, and be sure to maintain hygiene and protect the environment when camping.

Gengwang Lake in Nanning, Guangxi, is a place that makes you feel like you're on an alien planet
🛵Gengwang Lake is located in the mountains of Long'an County, Guangxi. Due to its unique geographical location, it has the characteristics of dramatic changes in the landscape throughout the year. I have explored and recorded the changes in the scenery of Gengwang Lake in different seasons.
⭐Gengwang Lake is located in the mountains of karst landforms and is the downstream tail of Buquan River. Due to the dramatic development of caves in this area, the river water disappears without a trace after it pours into Gengwang Lake and seeps into the underground caves.
⭐Starting from November each year, the lake water of Gengwang Lake has basically dried up. The outer lake has been planted with buckwheat by local villagers. When the flowers bloom, it is a spectacular sight with a vast expanse of white extending to the foot of the mountain. The inner lake forms a strange landscape, and walking in the inner lake at this time will give you a feeling of stepping on an alien planet.

The 'Little Switzerland' that is like heaven | Gengwang Lake
| Gengwang Lake. Always full of longing for the beauty of nature! The mountains and rivers of Guangxi are really shocking!! !
Every departure has new adventures and surprises
This is when the water level of Gengwang Lake has receded and the road is not so congested. It takes 2 and a half hours to drive from Nanning city. The road is quite good. When the weather is clear, buckwheat flowers bloom all over the mountains, unrestrained and brilliant. When the wind blows in the valley, the white sea of flowers sways in the sun
Nearby villagers will set up a small stall at the entrance to bake buckwheat pancakes, 5 meters each, fragrant but not greasy! Highly recommended! !!
The hike is very easy, almost no difficulty, you can also bring children and family camping
The live picture is already very beautiful, but it is still not as beautiful as the naked eye~
I asked the villagers, the buckwheat flowers bloom twice a year, and I will brush Gengwang Lake again during the next flood season!
Check-in location. i: In the middle of the valley, by the lake, and by the buckwheat flowers, they are all very photogenic (the weather must be clear
Small tips: Wear non-slip shoes, don't ask why
Navigation: Gengwang Lake (The parking lot P is at a place with a blue simple toilet on the side of the road）
I really hope that more people can see such beautiful scenery~

This weather, it's perfect for you
Nanning and its surroundings are worth checking in
🌊Gengwang Lake
This place is known as 'Little Switzerland' in Guangxi by netizens, with scenery that can heal all unhappiness🏞️.
During the flowering season, the buckwheat flower sea is in full bloom against the wind, a large green lawn🌿, the blue lake and the sky are the same color🩵, a casual shot is a big scene.
Camping here🏕️ can also check in at once: flower sea, mountains, lawn, desert, sea of clouds, starry sky🌌
The buckwheat flowers are fresh and dreamy, as white as snow❄️, and the flowering period is around late October to late November. From Nanning🚙 self-driving tour to Gengwang Lake, it takes about two and a half hours, very convenient
Camping hiking route📝: First Lake➖Second Lake➖Underwater Tunnel➖Stone Forest
Internet celebrity photo spot📸:
✅First Lake Foot Island
✅Second Lake Lawn, Lake View
✅Underwater Tunnel
✅Stone Forest
For friends who camp at Gengwang Lake, it is recommended☀️ to set off early, there will be more people when the weather is good, during the flowering season, there may be more people camping⛺️, go quickly to choose a better position, if you go late, there may be no parking space🅿️
The car can be driven to the first lake, you can directly camp and play at the first lake; the scenery of the second lake will be much better💗, but the car can't get there and the road in will be harder🚶 to walk, for those who want to camp at the second lake, it is recommended to camp🥾 lightweight
Prepare camping food a day in advance, because there is no💧 water source nearby, you need to bring bottled water, you must plan in advance, bring enough supplies🍗, it is not easy to buy around
This is not a scenic spot, it is not yet developed, no one is in charge, 🛁no hot water for bathing, it is recommended to bring your own toilet for camping
1️⃣Dress as lightly as possible, floral water, small medicine box, etc. are essential
2️⃣The temperature difference between day and night is large, keep warm🧣, avoid catching cold
3️⃣The underwater tunnel is very dark, you must bring a headlamp💡, those who enter the cave must pay attention to safety
4️⃣There is a fork in the road🧭 in the cave, remember to go to the left to get to the stone forest, during the flood season, go in the direction of tung oil
5️⃣Outdoor hiking and camping are dangerous, try to do as much as you can, keep hygiene🚮 when camping, love the environment, and achieve traceless camping⛺️

Listen to the advice of heaven, immortals, and come to check in at all places
🗺️Location: Long'an, Nanning, Gengwang Lake
🕑Time: Depart at 9:00 and return around 18:00 by bus. Gathering place: Luban Road Subway B Exit
💰Per capita: ¥78 (college students)/￥99 (two people 90/person)
The journey takes about 2.5 hours. There are many people on weekends. Originally, it was parked at Gengwang Lake Restaurant. Due to too many people on weekends, you can only walk in advance, walk a long way, but the buckwheat flowers along the way are really beautiful! If you are tired, you can ask passers-by if you can carry people, you need 💰
🚶Route: Gengwang Lake Restaurant→Buckwheat Flower→Water-friendly Grassland→Transformer→Second Lake→Return the same way. Choose to walk around the mountain, although it is a detour, but you can see the scenery of a lake from different angles along the way, very beautiful! And this route does not need to climb
The mountain, if you climb the mountain, you need to use your hands and feet, and you need to queue up, but the climbing route is suitable for overhead shots, and there is a different kind of beauty! The disadvantage of detouring is that the walking time is long and some physical strength and patience are needed
Believe me! When you get to the second lake, everything is worth it. The super beautiful mobile phone can't take the green of the lake at all! I wish I had the equipment to shoot, and the sunset that came out was also very beautiful!
⚠️Precautions
✅There is no toilet on the way to the lake during the hike. There are simple toilets on the mountain road, but they need to be charged. The free toilets are in Gengwang Lake Restaurant (it is written that there is a charge but no one cares on weekends) This restaurant has food and drink, the price is normal, a bottle of mineral water is also 2 yuan
✅The mobile phone will have no signal, the closer to the lake, the less, the real isolation from the world! You can bring some cash for backup, you must bring a power bank, because you will take a lot of photos! Believe me, the phone will run out of power
✅Bring some dry food, you need to solve the lunch by yourself, it will be better to go light
✅Try to wear sports shoes. The walking distance is long and a bit tiring. You can wear a skirt. According to my route, there is not much impact. If you are walking in the direction of climbing, it is not very convenient
✅Are you curious why you go so far, in fact, there used to be 💰 by boat, but now it seems to be not allowed, so you can only choose one of climbing or detour

This place is as beautiful as a poem or a painting, with scenery that can heal all unhappiness
I can't believe this is Guangxi at the end of November! Have you ever seen wheat flowers bloom? The beautiful scenery of Gengwang Lake will definitely surprise you. When the flowers bloom, the sea of wheat flowers opens in the wind, vast as the ocean, the green lawn and the blue lake are as beautiful as a poem or a painting, with the ability to heal all unhappiness.
In autumn, it is the best time for camping. Here, you can enjoy the beauty of flower sea, mountains and grasslands, deserts, sea of clouds, starry sky and so on. The wheat flowers are fresh and dreamy, white as snow, like a fairyland on earth. The play time is usually within two weeks before the end of the flowering period, that is, from late October to late November.
The transportation is very convenient, and it only takes about two and a half hours to drive from Nanning to Gengwang Lake. Along the way, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Guangxi, which is refreshing.
Please note the following points:
1. Although the beautiful scenery of Gengwang Lake is very attractive, there are many people camping during the flowering period, so it is better to go early to choose a better camping position.
2. It is suggested to deal with camping food one day in advance, because there is no water source nearby and you need to bring bottled water. In addition, bring enough supplies, it is not easy to buy around, this place is not yet developed, unattended.
3. The temperature difference between day and night is large, so be sure to keep warm to avoid catching cold.
The beautiful scenery of Gengwang Lake has added a new charm - the wheat flowers in the valley are also blooming, the lake is blue and the grass is leisurely, the cattle and sheep are in groups... Such beautiful scenery, I really can't believe this is Guangxi at the end of November!

👉Play (What's fun)
🚩Hiking
Honestly, for beginners and those who want to relax on weekends, you can follow the team. The first and second lakes are easy to walk, the end of the second lake is a karst cave, behind the cave is a stone forest, there is water in the cave that will wet your shoes, you need to take off your shoes to pass through the cave. But the advantage of following the organization is that there are people leading the way and you won't get lost
🚩Picnic barbecue
You can have a picnic and barbecue on the shore of the first lake. There is no tap water to wash things. Try to prepare drinking water and wash the ingredients before going out. However, as soon as you take out the food, there will be a bunch of flies and mosquitoes flying around you. Those who want to have a picnic and barbecue, please think twice! If everyone comes to barbecue and picnic, please take the garbage away!
❗It is recommended to camp at the first lake for barbecue, it is inconvenient to carry things into the second lake and it will be very tiring and troublesome!
🚩Camping
If you have equipment, you can come. If you don't pursue being close to the water source, you can camp on the grassland when you come in at the first lake. There are too many mosquitoes and insects by the water!! Bring good snake, insect, rat, and ant protection supplies and equipment, and you can come! The stars are super beautiful! There are shops at the entrance, you can go to replenish water and food
🚩Take photos and relax
Personally, I think it's more comfortable. The water level of Gengwang Lake has dropped now. Wear a set of clothes you like, play slowly and take pictures slowly, don't pursue to finish the whole journey, just go wherever you want! You can wear Mori/Cowboy/Medela/Spicy girl style! The hiking difficulty is not big, 5-year-old children can also walk and play.
.
🍗Food:
There are big stalls at the entrance of the first lake (Gengwang Lake Restaurant, Gengwang Lake Snack Shop, there are also toilets here, you can eat and buy things for free) You can eat noodles/congee/cakes here, or you can bring your own bread, snacks and so on.

In the sunny spring of March, the beautiful scenery of Gengwang Lake is breathtaking
In March, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, everything is reviving, it's the perfect time for spring outings. Gengwang Lake is the ideal destination for many people's spring trips! On March 7th, I came to the hinterland of Gengwang Lake, where many buckwheat just sprouted from the ground. The green Buquan River flows windingly, continuously flowing into the depths of Gengwang Lake. The twelve water pipes on the small dam are gushing competitively, and the sound of the rushing water is pleasant to the ear
