In Sanjiang County, which borders Hunan and Guizhou in Guangxi, there are eight Yi villages. The main development villages are: Ma Anzhai, Pingzhai, Yanzhai. I have always been fascinated by the original ethnic customs in the Chengyang Bazhai. Because of the rain, the long table banquet was held in the Drum Tower. The unknown people sitting on a table were friends. The long table banquet not only can eat the food on their table, but also can be smashed into other tables. A special experience. When I was half-eaten, the host played a mountain stream and sang a toasting song while asking the guests to drink, so it was well-deserved.

My room had a river view, offering views of the Wind and Rain Bridge and the river. The hotel offers an outdoor swimming pool, KTV, tea room, and a Dong ethnic cultural experience area. It's very convenient for those driving, with a large parking lot equipped with charging stations for electric vehicles. Breakfast is a buffet with a wide selection, and the hotel also has a local restaurant, Banshanju, where you can enjoy authentic Dong-style sour fish soup and cured meat, providing a convenient dining option without leaving the hotel.

The hotel is built on the mountaintop of the "Ten Thousand Mu Tea Garden" in Sanjiang, Liuzhou. It consists of rows of "wild luxury cabins." It is not a traditional hotel building but lets you stay directly in the tea mountains, offering a relaxing experience focused on "soaking in the bath while watching the sea of clouds, lying in bed counting the stars." It’s just a ten-minute drive to Sanjiang Drum Tower and Yueye Dong Village, where you can fully experience the Dong ethnic culture. The Chengyang Eight Villages are about 40 minutes away. 📍Detailed Address Sanjiang Guicha Mountain Resort Villa, Wanmu Tea Garden, Silian Village, Guyi Town, Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province. 📝Tips Staying here feels like living inside a landscape painting. The houses are Nordic-style triangular wooden cabins, each with a private courtyard and a large terrace. Every room is equipped with an outdoor heated massage bathtub, where you can soak in hot water while enjoying the mountain and cloud views opposite you. At night, you can watch the starry sky, and in the morning, open the window to see the sea of clouds. You can also experience tea picking and tea frying or enjoy a drink at their 360° panoramic coffee and book house surrounded by lush greenery. Since it’s on a mountaintop, you must drive yourself or hire a car. It’s about a 15-minute drive from Sanjiang South High-Speed Rail Station, but the last section is a winding mountain road, so novice drivers should proceed with caution.

Hilton Hampton by Hilton Jinhua Sanjiangli really surprised me! Located in the heart of Jinhua Financial Street, you can overlook the charming night view of the confluence of the three rivers from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room. It's just a 5-minute walk to the Guzicheng Historical and Cultural District, and the shopping center is also within close reach. The location is simply perfect~ 🛏️ Room Experience: I absolutely love their smart room control system! Just say "Xiaodu" to control the lights and curtains, and even the bathroom is designed with a dry and wet separation. The mattress is moderately firm, allowing for a natural wake-up. The hygiene is excellent; a newly opened hotel really makes a difference! 🍽️ Dining Experience: The breakfast variety is surprisingly rich! Not only Western-style breakfast but also Jinhua’s specialty handmade glutinous rice balls and rice cakes. Breakfast for kids is free, making it really worry-free for families with children~ 🏋️ Facilities: The 24-hour gym equipment is very new, and there is a self-service laundry room convenient for long-term guests. The front desk ladies are super thoughtful, proactively helping to print documents and providing suggestions for nearby attractions. Nearby Attractions Recommendations: During the day, you can check in at the Wanfo Pagoda, and at night, be sure to take a walk along the Sanjiang River to watch the light show.

Liuzhou is nestled in the karst mountains of north-central Guangxi, nicknamed the "Dragon City" and "Teapot City." The Liu River flows through the city like a green silk ribbon, surrounded by thousands of verdant peaks standing wild, known as the "world's largest natural bonsai." This city is truly unique—on one side, the gentle karst landscape, on the other, a strong industrial foundation. The customs of 43 ethnic groups blend into the streets and alleys, making a stroll here unforgettable at first sight. When visiting Liuzhou, the mountains and waters are definitely the main attraction. The water of the Liu River is incredibly clear, ranking first in national surface water quality for five consecutive years. A night cruise on the hundred-mile Liu River is a must-experience; as the river breeze brushes your face, Asia’s largest musical fountain bursts into life on the water, paired with lights on both banks, shining brighter than the stars. Longtan Park is a local hidden gem, where karst peaks reflect in the emerald lake, and the Wind and Rain Bridge spans the water. Walking on the bridge while listening to the flowing water makes even your breath feel sweet. For a panoramic view of the city, head to Ma'anshan. From the summit, you can see the Liu River forming a beautiful U-shaped bend. By day, it’s a painting of green mountains and clear waters; by night, the city lights up, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The beauty of Liuzhou always carries the warmth of history and culture. During the Tang Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan served as governor here, planting willows by the Liu River and promoting agriculture and education. Liu Hou Park was built in his honor, with towering ancient trees, and the Lychee Stele in Liu Hou Temple holds a millennium of cultural heritage. Walking around, you can feel the spirit of the literati. At Xiaolongtan beneath Yufeng Mountain, the story of the Zhuang folk song goddess Liu Sanjie is passed down. Walking by the river, you might even hear locals humming mountain songs, their melodies clear and friendly. Yaobu Ancient Town preserves the charm of a thousand-year-old commercial port in its Ming and Qing dynasty arcade buildings. Quiet and perfect for photos by day, it transforms at night with lights illuminating the river view and ancient architecture, resembling a gentle "Little Phoenix." The ethnic customs here are rich and inseparable. The songs of the Zhuang, the stilt houses of the Dong, the festivals of the Miao, and the dances of the Yao are known as Liuzhou’s "Four Wonders." Visit the Chengyang Eight Villages, where over 2,000 Dong stilt houses are built along the mountains. The Chengyang Yongji Bridge is hailed as a "world treasure of bridge buildings." Sitting on the bridge listening to Dong grand songs and enjoying a lively banquet with many families is the true way to experience Liuzhou’s cultural pulse. A few tips: don’t just visit the sights—make sure to slurp a bowl of authentic Luosifen (snail rice noodles), sour, spicy, fresh, and fragrant, an addictive taste. Don’t miss the sour dishes and duck feet pot at Qingyun Minsheng Market, all full of local flavor. Getting around the city is super convenient; rent an electric scooter for 30 yuan a day and cruise along the Bauhinia Avenue, where the air is filled with floral fragrance (visiting in March or April is perfect to catch 300,000 blooming bauhinia flowers). For accommodation, choose somewhere by the Liu River or near Wuxing Street for easy access to food and travel. Liuzhou is a city where poetry lives in the mountains and waters, everyday life fills the streets, history carries warmth, and industry provides strength. Take a walk here, slurp a bowl of noodles, admire the rivers and mountains, listen to a mountain song, and you’ll understand why some people come and never forget this gentle Dragon City.

Most shops and restaurants along the shore open around 9 AM and close around 10 PM. The boat tours have fixed departure times. ✨Other Tips Spring lakeside winds can be strong, so bring a light jacket; some lakeside paths may be damp, so wear non-slip flat shoes for safety. Do not climb over railings to avoid falling into the water; avoid feeding fish in the lake to protect the environment. Weekends and holidays are busier, so visiting early morning or afternoon off-peak times offers a better experience. ✨Nearby Attractions A few minutes’ walk from Rong Lake leads to Shan Lake, where you can check in at the dazzling Sun and Moon Twin Towers, which look stunning when lit up at night. Explore Dongxi Alley’s ancient-style shops and snacks; visit Jingjiang Princes’ City to feel the historical depth and climb Duxiu Peak for panoramic views of Guilin. Elephant Trunk Hill in Elephant Trunk Hill Park is another Guilin landmark, a must-visit on your route without any risk of disappointment.
