Ming Shi Pastoral - China Travel

introduce

Mingshi Garden is located on the west side of Daxin County, Chongzuo City, about an hour's drive from the famous Detian Waterfall Scenic Spot. Tourists usually visit the two scenic spots together. Mingshi Pastoral is a unique karst landform, with beautiful mountains and flowing water around, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

In addition to the scenery of mountains and rivers, the scenic spot also has fresh and simple villages, farmland and other scenery. Visitors here can take bamboo rafts, take pictures and view the scenery, and experience the wonderful scenery and peaceful pastoral life. The hit TV series "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" once came here for filming, making it even more famous.

Mingshi Pastoral has a large area, mainly including the natural river and pastoral scenery in the upper reaches of the Mingshi River, and the Zhuang folk house museum built in the lower reaches. There are two ways for tourists to come to play: bamboo rafting and land sightseeing. It is generally more appropriate to prepare for half a day to come to play. There are also many tourists who choose to stay in the scenic area for one night, leisurely feel the surrounding beauty, and appreciate the freshness and tranquility of rural life.

Bamboo rafting is a popular way to visit scenic spots. You can first go to the Zhuang Folk House Museum downstream, where you can buy rafting tickets, and there are sightseeing cars that can take tourists to the starting point of rafting. The rafting takes about 1 hour in total, and the tour guide on board can explain all the way. On the way of rafting, you can see beautiful mountain peaks reflected in the river. The scenery is very similar to the reflection of yellow cloth in Guilin; you will also pass through farmland areas with criss-crossing paths and quiet villages.

The end of the bamboo rafting is the Zhuang Minority House Museum. There are totem squares, artificial lake views, Zhuang villages, chieftain houses, and small streets. They are mainly sculptures and residential buildings that reflect the customs of the Zhuang people. You can simply visit them. In addition, there are often Zhuang singing and dancing performances here, so you can stop and watch them when you meet them.

Another way to play is land sightseeing. First, you can watch the Zhuang Minority House Museum, and then you can rent a bicycle to ride around here. Most of the bicycles are rented from local hotels or farmhouses. When renting, a cycling route map will be given. There are several routes to choose from along the road next to the scenic spot. It is generally recommended to go to the northwest (that is, to the upper reaches of the river), and you can see the beautiful karst and pastoral scenery similar to bamboo rafting.
