Things to do in Chengbu

In the sweltering summer, a family trip, especially with children, to Nanshan is a great choice for escaping the heat, relaxing, and having fun. Staying within the Nanshan scenic area means you won't need air conditioning while sleeping; the temperature is generally between 18-23 degrees Celsius. During the day, you can take your children horseback riding, see windmills, and even experience feeding cows and milking cows. In the evening, you can watch dragon dances, enjoy bonfires, and even bottle-feed lambs. The activities are plentiful and quite enjoyable.

The natural scenery is very beautiful, and a self-driving tour is highly recommended! Due to the high altitude and limited availability of fruits and vegetables, a two-day, one-night trip is recommended.

Huangsang National Nature Reserve is located at the junction of the northern slope of Da Nan Mountain and the southern foot of Xuefeng Mountain in 80 miles in the southwest of Hunan Province. It has pure natural scenery, pleasant views, beautiful scenery, and a very high cost-effectiveness. It is a good choice.

Not bad, not ...

Highly recommended, it's a pleasant experience to visit Wujiang at night

Amazing view and scenery. Plan in advance the route because the map and the indication there are really tricky. On foggy days it’s really hard to see anything.

It’s definitely worth a visit. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The climb is strenuous, but the view is absolutely magnificent. You should check the weather Prior to the visit. Strongly recommend to buy the cable car and bus rides.

When visiting Guilin, a must-see is Elephant Trunk Hill, the city's iconic landmark. It truly lives up to its reputation as the face of Guilin's landscape; only by seeing it in person can one truly appreciate the wonders of nature. The entire mountain sits on the banks of the Li River, resembling a giant elephant bowing to drink from the water. The Water Moon Cave cuts through the mountain, its reflection shimmering in the water, creating the famous Elephant Trunk Hill and Water Moon spectacle—a flowing ink painting. The scenic area is clean and comfortable, with walking paths built along the Li River, shaded by lush trees, making for a delightful stroll. You can climb the mountain for panoramic views of Guilin, or find classic vantage points along the riverbank to capture stunning, atmospheric photos. Boat trips are also available, offering a different and breathtaking perspective of Elephant Trunk Hill from the river. The scenic area is conveniently located in the city center, with excellent transportation and comprehensive facilities. Every step reveals a new vista, allowing you to truly experience the unparalleled beauty of Guilin's landscape. Don't miss it when traveling to Guilin; it's definitely worth a visit.

Finally, I witnessed the grandeur of the Longji Rice Terraces in person! The actual scenery is even more breathtaking than the pictures! We visited Jinkeng Dazhai, where the terraced fields unfold along the mountainside, stretching into the distance, creating a truly immersive mountain atmosphere. At the entrance to the scenic area, you must transfer to a sightseeing bus to enter the mountain. The mountain roads are winding, so those prone to motion sickness should prepare accordingly. For those with average stamina, I highly recommend the cable car; it's less strenuous and offers a stunning panoramic view of the entire terraced field. There are several viewing platforms on the mountain, with No. 2 Thousand-Layer Ladder and No. 1 Golden Buddha Peak each offering their own unique beauty. Take your time to explore and take photos; there's no need to rush. It's also suitable for families with elderly members and children. Choosing the route that combines the cable car with gentle hiking trails will prevent you from getting too tired. Please note that there's a significant temperature difference on the mountain, and it can be quite cool in the mornings and evenings, so wear comfortable, non-slip shoes. It's recommended to allow at least half a day to a full day for the entire visit, avoiding the midday sun. When visiting Guilin, be sure to set aside time for the Longji Rice Terraces. This breathtaking scenery, created by nature and the local people together, is well worth it!

Libo Xiaoqikong, affectionately known as "Little Seventeen," is located at the border of Guizhou and Guangxi provinces. It is a World Natural Heritage site and a national 5A scenic area. It gets its name from the seven-arched ancient bridge that spanned the Xiangshui River during the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty, connecting the two provinces. Hidden within its secluded valleys are crystal-clear waters, dotted with Wolongtan (Sleeping Dragon Pool), a water forest, and a 68-tiered waterfall, earning it the reputation of "the emerald on the Earth's belt." The karst landscape is breathtakingly beautiful, with clear, sparkling waters.
