Due to the summer epidemic, I did not travel in August. The end of September happened to be on vacation, and I took my baby to Zhuhai Chimelong, where I was thinking, and then planned to play around Guangdong, Guangxi and Guizhou during the November holiday. Preliminary preparations, the big circle of Zhuhai-Nanning-Hechi-Libo-Baise,
Our itinerary totaled 13 days and 12 nights. We started from Zhuhai, took a train all the way to Nanning, drove to Nanning, Hechi, Libo, Baise, and finally returned to Nanning. The total journey was 1650 kilometers. With the baby and his wife, Qiancheng met the baby’s games and entertainment in Chimelong, Zhuhai, and drove to Maolan, Libo, Guizhou on the way, but did not complete the funnel forest 2 years ago (the baby was too young at that time), and Baise, Hechi, Guangxi in the second half Leisure viewing and health tour nearby.
Airplane, train, self-driving:
This time I did not choose the ring road. Zhuhai is a complete single-point tour, starting from Nanning, linear series, and self-driving is the most suitable.
Food:
Cantonese cuisine is still the main food in Guangdong and Guangxi. Some Yao and Zhuang specialties in Guangxi are also good. Libo Maolan can only be enjoyed in farmhouses.
stay:
With the baby, I basically stay in well-known local hotels all the way. Except for the Maolan B&B, the hotels in the city are extremely cost-effective. In conclusion, food is more expensive than accommodation.
Tickets:
Zhuhai Chimelong tickets are slightly more expensive, but worth playing. The other attractions are slightly more expensive near Bama, and it is no problem to buy tickets on the spot with Ctrip.
D1: Shanghai - Zhuhai
If you want to go, the air ticket is cheap before the long holiday. I booked the Penguin Hotel in Chimelong, Zhuhai, and took my baby to play for two days.
At the moment of the epidemic, it happened that the day of departure was the preparation period for the Zhuhai Air Show. The plane arrived late, and the nucleic acid test was free for all staff at the airport.
I successfully checked into the Penguin Hotel. It is just at the gate of Chimelong. There is a special passage. I booked a package including tickets and circus tickets. I went to the hotel’s food street restaurant for dinner that night. The hotel opened two restaurants in the off-season. The restaurant can see penguins , there are not many people, the taste of the dishes is very good, I went for a walk and went to the circus.
The circus is very amazing and highly recommended. It should be regarded as a very high-level and attentive performance.
D2: Zhuhai Chimelong
Today is the first day of visiting Changlong. The park opens at 10 o'clock, and the hotel passage can enter the park at 9:30 to take pictures and watch the opening ceremony. The long-awaited Chimelong finally came, and the baby is very happy. The main theme here is the Ocean Kingdom. After entering the park, the opening hours of different areas in the park are different. The dolphin area on the right hand side will be the first to open, and it will open one by one counterclockwise along the way. Go to see the Chinese white dolphins first, play with the dolphins and turn around the car, etc., and watch the 5D movie in time, it feels good and worth watching.
Walk along the way to see various marine animals, and accompany the baby to play various amusement facilities. The baby loves the jungle jumping machine. According to the program list, watching various animal performances is still very exciting and high-quality. In the afternoon, I watched the parade of floats, and the Whale Shark Pavilion afterwards was quite shocking. I also strayed into the glacier roller coaster, and I was so scared that I was sweating.
The fireworks show at 7:30 in the evening is absolutely amazing. In the central lake, various actors perform water stunts, technology combined with fireworks, an absolute big scene.
After returning to the hotel, I still went to the food street for dinner, which was delicious.
D3: Zhuhai Chimelong
The hotel package is a two-day park ticket, and you can continue to play Chimelong the next day. If you take a one-day tour of Zhuhai Chimelong, you will be in a hurry, and the two-day in-depth tour will be more leisurely. Today, I took my baby to participate in Chimelong's themed learning class (white dolphins, jellyfish, whale sharks, water) as the main line, and received some environmental education, and fed the jellyfish. It was a good experience. At other times, I will play with the items that I missed the day before. Except for the hot weather, everything is smooth and comfortable. Help the baby to buy a variety of favorite souvenir toys.
In the evening, eat Cantonese cuisine and watch penguins at the hotel food street, successfully completing the trip to Zhuhai Chimelong.
D4: Zhuhai-Nanning-Hechi Du'an
I took a taxi to Zhuhai Station early in the morning, half an hour, and visited the Hengqin Port on the way. The opposite Macau has been notified of the epidemic in the past two days, and the border gate is extremely deserted. Today, the bullet train goes to Nanning, Guangxi, which is related to the Zhuhai Air Show. The security check is extremely strict, and all the fruit knives are handed in.
There were very few people on the train, and it took less than five hours to get from Guangdong to Guangxi. Nanning East Railway Station picked up the car smoothly. The basement of Nanning East Railway Station is very interesting. If you drive over the speed in the basement, the vehicle will shake. It is technically limited to speeding. This is the first time I have encountered it.
Drive to the first stop in Guangxi, Kunlun Pass. Go north along the National Highway, an hour's drive. There are not many people in the scenic spot. Kunlun Pass is the gateway and barrier of Nanning City. The terrain is dangerous and has been valued by military strategists of all dynasties. The old pass is not big, it existed in ancient times. According to historical records, there have been several large-scale battles at Kunlun Pass in Binyang. The battle of Kunlun Pass between China and Japan in 1939 in modern times is very famous.
The scenic spot mainly introduces museums and monuments of the Kunlun Pass Battle. There is actually a rare enemy Japanese general’s tomb (Masao Nakamura’s tomb). Raise the national flag and pay homage to the martyrs.
Leaving Kunlun Pass, drive to Hechidu’an. This is today’s foothold. It’s a small county town surrounded by karst hills. The entrance to Chengjiang is the Miluotuo Resort Hotel in Chengjiang. There are mainly Yao people here, and the local characteristics are actually Beef and mutton, the dustpan meal was given up because it took a long time, and the food was delicious. The hotel is very cost-effective. The most amazing thing is the swimming pool. There are two parts indoors and outdoors. It is big and fun. The baby likes it so much and has a lot of fun.
I learned a point of knowledge "Miluotuo" is revered by the Bunu Yao people as the female ancestor of human beings, the mother of creation, and a goddess who created all things. Anyway, the Yao nationality is very complicated, and it is different from the Zhuang nationality in Guangxi.
D5: Hechi - Huanjiang - Guizhou Maolan
After breakfast early in the morning, look at the Chengjiang River at the entrance, and walk the local Wind and Rain Bridge. It is said that this is the poorest place in Guangxi, and now it is also vigorously developing real estate. Leaving Du'an, go directly to the Huanjiang Gubin River, see Mulun Karst, and experience rafting on the Gubin River.
Driving around the karst Gubin River around the river is also a World Heritage Site, but the construction is relatively primitive and there are not many projects. The locals also say that there is only a hotel here. The projects are only barbecue and rafting, and not many things have been developed. It is not a holiday, there are not many people, chatting, waiting for the staff to go to work at two o'clock, the baby is too young to participate in half-time rafting. It is said that the whole journey used to take more than 3 hours, but now it only takes 1 hour. It is estimated that the upstream is too dangerous. I asked the staff if I would get wet, and the answer was that any waterproof clothes are useless. There is no good way except wearing a swimsuit. The shuttle bus pulls us to the upstream starting point, we start rafting first, and the baby will wait for us at the middle pick-up point under the care of the staff. This beauty is indeed more fierce. Anyway, the drifting boat hits everywhere, and the current is very fast, which is very exciting. The second half of the journey is relatively gentle. Take the baby to see the scenery. This is the virgin forest and the natural oxygen bar. It is a good experience.
After rafting, change your clothes and continue to Maolan. Going north along Provincial Highway 205, entering Guizhou suddenly turned into a bad road.
Fortunately, it’s only a total of more than 30 kilometers. I came to Maolan for the second time. I really like the original ecology here. The ticket is 50. I drove into the protected area. The familiar Wuyan Bridge is still quiet and beautiful. I chose the Shanshui Farm in Dongji two years ago. For the farmhouse, this time I chose the Yemeixiang Restaurant in Wuyanqiao.
Our family made a reservation, the proprietress helped us cook, walked around after eating, listened to the insects, and the baby was happy. After contacting the guide, we will start hiking in the funnel forest tomorrow.
D6: Maolan
After eating breakfast early in the morning, I felt that the whole reserve was very quiet. There were no tourists. I carried water and dry food on my back. I set off before 9 o’clock. I didn’t walk a few steps. I saw a small snake. The guide said it was poisonous.
Two years ago, because the baby was relatively small and not suitable for funnel forest, we went to Nine Caves and fell in love with the virgin forest of Maolan. This time, the baby is 5 years old and 10 months old. Let’s challenge the funnel forest. It takes about 16 kilometers to hike normally, and it takes 7 hours to climb six mountains. Walk along the road towards the Golden Lion Cave, turn on a road beside the Golden Lion Cave, and start the hiking journey in the funnel forest.
Just entering the forest, the vegetation is really dense, the ground is full of people stepping on it, and the bare rocks are formed after the soil is lost. There are no repaired roads and steps here. The baby and his wife each started to climb the mountain with a cane. The first mountain was time-consuming. It took an hour to reach the top of the mountain. On the way, we saw various plants and insects. There were no tourists, and the family chartered a mountain.
There are no traditional scenic spots on the road. Occasionally, you can see the tiankeng, which is completely surrounded by forests. Most of the roads under the feet are rocky dirt roads, and sometimes there are abandoned roads left by previous scientific research. Along the way, the guide Xiao Zhou will also tell us about various animals and plants and local customs. It is not boring. It is not until the afternoon when we turn over five hills that we enter the funnel forest. The funnel is a karst landform, and the funnel forest is here. The formed forest is either a tiankeng or a circle of mountains surrounding it. This place is really different from the outside. The moss on the trees is very obvious and the air is humid. It is said that if it rains heavily, people will not be able to enter.
After less than 8 hours, we finally walked out of the forest. The baby completed all the way independently, but his wife sprained his hand. The guide Xiao Zhou was very moved. The baby set a record for the youngest age he led to hike the funnel forest. Leaving the forest, crossing farmland and a section of abandoned railway, returning to the road, this place has left the protected area, and took the car arranged by the guide to return to Wuyan Bridge. To be honest, I don't feel too tired, maybe the forest experience is very good.
The proprietress of the homestay is good at craftsmanship, eat enough and rest.
D7: Maolan-Hechi Bama
Woke up early in the morning, took the baby to play in the pond beside the Wuyan Bridge, bought a water gun in the store two years ago, flew a drone, watched insects, played with water, and looked at the beautiful Wuyan Bridge.
Today is the 11th, and tourists began to enter the scenic spot. The management here is different from that of two years ago. It was privately owned before, and now it is said that the national team has taken over, but it feels like the villagers still have a lot of dissatisfaction. The biggest change is that private cars have begun to be restricted from entering the protected area. The iron tower on the top of Shishang Forest is said to be defined as an illegal building.
Packed up my luggage, teased the cat of the boss’s natal family, left Maolan, drove to Libo County People’s Hospital first, took a picture of my wife’s sprained hand, and felt relieved that there was no serious problem, and went back to do some simple things fixed. Today I plan to go all the way back to Guangxi and go to the Junlan Resort Hotel by the lakeside of Bama Blessing. Although the road is smooth on the 11th, the roadside scenery is beautiful, and the karst landform at the entrance of the side ridge service area is really amazing.
All the way to the hotel smoothly, the hotel is not small, the car can only be parked in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, we need a shuttle bus, we have a lot of luggage, it is not very convenient. In the evening, the hotel had a Yao nationality dustpan banquet. A dustpan was put on the dishes, all kinds of meat, plus various grains, and steamed glutinous rice of various colors. wish.
Afterwards, I found out that after I left Bama, Yao cuisine was completely unavailable in the Baise area, where the Zhuang people were the mainstream.
The hotel environment is very good, the infinity swimming pool is amazing, the scenery is beautiful, take the baby to play in the water and sleep at night.
D8: Hechi Bama
The hotel is located in Bama, dozens of kilometers away from the core Changshou Village. After breakfast, we went to the most famous Baimo Cave in Bama. Going all the way along the Panyang River, you will soon arrive at Baimo Cave. I heard that this cave is quite legendary. It is said that there is a ground fissure in Bama that reaches the deep interior of the earth. The magnetic field inside the cave is so strong that some sick people will recover after half a year in it. Now there are many migratory bird residents here in Bama, and the main brand is health care. The inside of the cave is very large. There is a magnetic therapy area for health maintenance in the first half of the cave. I took my baby and my wife to sit directly for an hour. There are indeed many people here who come to sleep every day for health care. Out of the health care area, there is a tiankeng in the middle. Above the tiankeng is a cliff. There are people living on the cliff, and there is a sky street to go up. There are Yao stalls on both sides of the steps. There is also a huge karst cave beside the tiankeng, which is very beautiful, and all kinds of natural craftsmanship are worth visiting.
Leaving the Baimo Cave, return along the original road, turn on a mountain road after a while, and go to see the Crystal Palace. I thought the karst caves were similar, but this Crystal Palace is still very different. The entrance of the Crystal Palace is very small, similar to the gate of a home, and there is a cave inside. It is said that the stalactites here are all crystal-like, with different shapes, but the most peculiar ones are crystal-deposited stone hairs, curly stones, stone flowers, etc., which are colorful, white, pure, and exquisite. According to the introduction, it belongs to the category of non-gravity crystal deposition, which is relatively novel. The Crystal Palace is not small and worth a visit.
Leaving the Crystal Palace, look at the Ming River along the way. The scenery around the viewing platform is good, but I feel that the direction of the river should be man-made.
Go back to the main road, continue along the Panyang River, and soon arrive at Bama Changshou Village. Parking is also convenient. Take the baby to play in the river, and the child is very happy. In Changshou Village, it is said that many of the centenarians in their 70s and 80s are younger brothers. They found a Fushouju farmhouse on the side of the road and had a fish weighing more than three catties for dinner. It tasted very good. The grandmother in the restaurant was ninety-five or sixteen years old and very tough , it seems that the landscape here makes sense.
After eating, I bought a bottle of Parmesan water and went back to the hotel to sleep.
D9: Hechi - Baise
On the last day in Bama, play in the infinity pool at 9 o'clock in the morning, take your luggage and set off. Still walking along the Panyang River, the rafting on the Panyang River was out of service due to the construction of the scenic spot, so we could only go to Bainiaoyan not far away. During the 11th Golden Week, there was no queue, and we went directly to the boat and set off. The boat sailing on the Panyang River is definitely not inferior to the scenery of Guilin. The Panyang River is the most important river in Bama. It is said that the Panyang River in Bama is sometimes on the ground and sometimes underground. These are all due to the karst landform. Soon we arrived at the entrance of Bainiaoyan Cave, which is a unique underground river karst cave. This section of underground river is part of the Panyang River. Entering the cave, the environment is relatively dark. Sometimes there are skylights above the head, and sometimes there are various light changes. The river excursion was spectacular. Because there are "three brights and three darks" in and out of this cave, tourists can experience the magical feeling of "three days and three nights" during the tour.
After visiting the Bainiao Cave, I took the baby wearing Yao clothes to take pictures. The Panyang River is really beautiful, and the surrounding farmland is also very beautiful under the karst landform.
Leaving Bama, the expressway is still very smooth. In a short time, we enter Baise, and go down the expressway for two kilometers to Baise Hotel. The location of Baise Hotel is very good, and the appearance is also beautiful. Youjiang is in front of the door. The restaurant specializes in Cantonese cuisine and Zhuang characteristics. Eat and rest early.
D10: Bose
Preparing for a Baise tour today, I went to the Yuedong Guild Hall on Jiefang Street early in the morning. This is the former site of the Seventh Army Headquarters of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army. it's here. On August 17, 1977, Comrade Deng Xiaoping personally inscribed the name of the old site: "The former site of the Seventh Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army", which introduces a lot of revolutionary history and is worth seeing. After leaving the guild hall, not far away is the big wharf, where Deng Xiaoping went ashore when he came to Baise. There are cruise ships at the wharf to visit the Youjiang River.
Seeing that it was still early, I decided to go to the Baise Uprising Memorial Park first. The memorial garden is very large. First look at the Poverty Alleviation Memorial Hall. The commanding height behind is the Baise Uprising Memorial Hall. Walk around and learn about the history here.
Along the way out of the memorial hall, walk on the Red Army Bridge, look at the museum, and finally walk to the monument. My wife takes the baby down the steps from the monument. Jiefang Street is not far away, and the big pier is right next to it.
The cruise ship departs on time, and there are not many tourists. It is more relaxing to see the scenery along the river in Baise.
At the end of the one-hour tour, I went to the Bobai food stall, a historical Guangxi Hakka dish, very delicious, worth a try.
D11: Baise Leye Dashiwei Tiankeng
Leaving Baise early in the morning to go to Leye, where there is the world's largest tiankeng group. A 2-hour drive directly to Leye Dashiwei Tiankeng, which was developed in the Tiankeng group and is also the largest one here. There are a lot of cars in the parking lot, but they are in order. Walk a few hundred meters to enter the scenic spot. First, take the scenic spot car to the first stop, Yunhai Tianzhou. This is a newly built Internet celebrity scenic spot. The glass trestle bridge is very thrilling and the scenery is beautiful. There is also the relic of Adili walking the tightrope on the tiankeng, which is very thrilling. The depth of the tiankeng reaches more than 600 meters, the baby is not afraid of heights, the glass platform is like walking on the ground, the wife can only fly the drone on the non-glass platform, the scenery is magnificent!
Leaving Yunhai Tianzhou and continuing to the scenic spot, the vehicle arrived at the Hornet Cave opposite the Tiankeng, where there is a skylight in the Tiankeng. The cave itself is relatively large, and you can walk all the way to the edge of the Tiankeng cliff. This is the skylight of the cave that can be seen from the opposite glass trestle bridge. It feels like a previously developed scenic spot. It is very worth visiting. The adventure on the side is worthwhile.
After leaving the Hornet Cave, you can go up the mountain all the way to the top of the East Peak at an altitude of 1486 meters. There is absolutely a forest of ten thousand peaks around here, and the tiankeng in the middle is bottomless. A day of sightseeing, walking around and having fun, is not very tiring, and I am not in a hurry to go to Luomei Lianhua Cave in the county town included in the package ticket. Back in Baise, I ate Gui Xiaochu, a delicious Guangxi dish.
D12: Baise - Nanning
Swim in the morning and have breakfast, leave Baise for Nanning.
On the way, I went to the ancient city of Tianzhou, which is known as the number one ancient city around Baise, but there are not many tourists. I borrowed an old-fashioned scooter for 30 yuan and started the ancient city tour. I looked at the pagoda, and my baby made a wish. The eleventh is still relatively deserted. , Look at Buluotuo Square, and understand that Buluotuo of the Zhuang nationality is the founder of the Zhuang nationality who created the world and is omnipotent.
Leave the ancient city and continue on. Come to Tiandong County to see the old site of Youjiang Workers and Peasants’ Democratic Government. It is worth visiting here. It was the seat of Youjiang Workers and Peasants’ Democratic Government during the Second Civil Revolutionary War, and it is also the largest and most complete in Guangxi. Ancient academy. There is also Tiandong County Museum inside, and I learned a little about the history and archeology here.
Continue all the way to the Gaolingpo ruins mentioned in the museum. There are no tourists here, which is not a scenic spot, but there are archaeological remains and protected buildings, and it is estimated that research will continue. Many stone tools have been unearthed here, which are estimated to be about 700,000 years ago, which greatly advances the history of human activities in Guangxi.
Continue along National Highway 324, and come to the former revolutionary site of Pingguo Sancaogang. There are no staff, no tourists. Feel the revolutionary atmosphere before, and then leave for Nanning in a hurry.
All the way to Nanning smoothly, the sun is setting, first go to Sanjiangkou where the Yongjiang River, Zuojiang River and Youjiang River meet. There is a piece of farmland here, there are no tourists, there are some fishing enthusiasts, flying drones to see the surrounding scenery, the sunset not bad.
After returning to the city from the karst mountains, we stayed at the Wosheng Hotel at night. The price/performance ratio here is very good, and it is extremely convenient to go to the airport. The hotel dinner is mainly Cantonese cuisine, delicious!
D13: Nanning-Shanghai
After starting from the hotel, we went directly to the expressway about one kilometer away. The Nanyou Expressway arrived at the airport in 20 minutes and went home smoothly. . .
This journey is considered to be a relatively long one. The cheerfulness of Zhuhai, the primitiveness of Maolan, and the stunning scenery of Guangxi are also quite rich. History, humanities, natural landscapes, and customs of ethnic minorities are all-encompassing.
I hope that the epidemic will end soon and travel will be happier.
