📝 Yulin Travel | The Wizard of Oz in the Deep Mountains 🌿🌄 This winter, embark on a delightful journey to the Daron Mountain in Yulin. Coming to this city with the highest peak in southeastern Guangxi, I feel like I'm in a fairy tale world! 🔸Daron Mountain is known as the 'Wizard of Oz' of Yulin. Climbing up and looking far, the view is suddenly clear, and a beautiful European landscape unfolds before your eyes. The blue sky and white clouds contrast with the green peaks, as if you are in a dreamy painting. Standing on the top of the mountain, I deeply appreciate the magnificence of the peaks and the charm of nature. 🔸We came to the small lotus pond, where the scenery is picturesque. The lake is clear and green, reflecting the surrounding peaks and clouds, which is breathtaking. Walking along the lake, the cool breeze blows on your face, as if you are in a paradise, and your mood is extremely pleasant. Here, you can capture some amazing moments and record beautiful memories of your trip. 🔸What impresses me most is the church here. Its architectural style is unique, combining the charm of both classical and modern. The red roof exudes a romantic and sacred atmosphere. Standing in front of this church, it seems to feel the purification and tranquility of the soul. During the whole trip, I recorded every beautiful moment with my camera. Coming to Daron Mountain, it's like being in a big movie, every corner is full of shooting inspiration and creative sparks. Whether it's the beauty of nature or the details of the architecture, it can be excellent shooting material. Practical tips for Daron Mountain trip: Ticket🎫: 60 yuan Transportation🚗: Daron Mountain is about 30km from Yulin city, there is a tourist line directly to Daron Mountain from Yulin city, I think self-driving is the most convenient. 💛Hotel: Daron Mountain Sotetsu Valley Hotel This trip to Yulin gave me endless surprises and memories. The Wizard of Oz in the deep mountains made me feel the charm of nature and humanities. Every trip is an opportunity for exploration and growth. 📸✨ Let's capture the beauty of Daron Mountain together!

DarongShan National Forest Park, around 23 km from Yulin downtown, is a stunning landscape with mountains, forest, reservoir, waterfall and windmills. As it's such a big forest park with hundreds of mountains, and the main attractions are far away from each other, it's highly recommended to visit by car 🚘rather than public transportation. If you go there in National Day, prepare yourself with enough food and drinks because of traffic jam😆 There is an abandoned reservoir 🏞with clean water and surrounded by green forest. Nice view of the overall reservoir. While some people go there for swimming and BBQ. Besides that, DarongShan National Forest Park is also famous for its vast grasslands, where you can enjoy camping🏕and paddling in the biggest grassland with a lake nearby. I was lucky to find out the Lianhua Waterfall(莲花瀑布) after one hour hike and steep descent in the hidden forest. It's super steep and slippery because of the humidity, watch out📣 Would love to go back again for picnic and camping, and enjoy the sunset as well as sunrise😍😍 📍广西省北流市民乐镇容山路1号 ⏰ 8:00- 18:00 🕰 Whole Day 🎟 60 RMB 📌 DarongShan Reservoir, Lianhua Waterfall, Tianhu, JiuPuGu, DaLianChi #hiking#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

No need to travel far to Europe, right here in China, there is a replicated Austrian wonderland. In winter, when mist rises from the lake and snow covers the Alpine-style wooden houses, this place is 100 times more dreamy than a postcard! Bring your princess dress and little suit, and come here to take a fairy tale family photo of the year! 📍 Eastern Wonderland: Hallstatt (Guangxi version) Located in Fumian District, Yulin City, Guangxi, it is the core scenic area of "Yulin Evergrande Fairy Tale World." It is a 1:1 replica of the Austrian World Cultural Heritage town of Hallstatt, wonderfully blending European lake and mountain scenery with Guangxi’s karst landscape. Winter sees fewer visitors, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery exclusively with an excellent experience. 🎄 Winter Fairy Tale Family Activities: 1. Lakeside stroll and swan interaction: Walk along the tranquil lake, with rolling green karst peaks on the opposite shore, pointed churches, and colorful wooden houses before your eyes. Swans often leisurely swim in the lake; you can prepare some clean bread crumbs in advance to let children enjoy feeding the swans (where permitted and safe). 2. Check in at classic photo spots and fill your memory card: Postcard angle: On the north side of the lake, capture panoramic views of the church, wooden houses, and their reflections in the lake. Cultural street scenes: Explore the alleys to photograph snow-covered windowsills, vintage street lamps, and signs. Parent-child interaction: Capture warm and lively family moments in the square, pier, and other spots. 3. Experience the “Salt Mine” mini train (fun educational): The scenic area features a simulated “salt mine” adventure project where you can ride a mini train into the “mine tunnel” to learn about Hallstatt’s salt-driven history. The process is fun and not scary, suitable for children. 4. Handicrafts and dessert time: The town has various craft shops and candy stores. You can paint a plaster doll with your child or taste an authentic Austrian Sachertorte, enjoying a sweet afternoon. 🏰 Stay in a fairy tale: There are multiple themed hotels within and around the scenic area. Highly recommend the “Yulin Evergrande Hotel” or choose a themed room in the “European Castle Hotel” inside the scenic area. The rooms are spacious and decorated with European style, some with balconies facing the lake, as if living in a fairy tale world. 🚗 Transportation and itinerary: Arrival: It is recommended to fly into Yulin Fumian Airport or take the high-speed train to Yulin Station, then take a taxi (about 30-40 minutes). Itinerary: A two-day, one-night trip is suggested. Arrive in the afternoon of Day 1, check in, stroll and take photos, and experience activities; on the morning of Day 2, explore more deeply or visit other themed areas of Evergrande Fairy Tale World (such as the Dutch Windmill area), then return in the afternoon. Combination: If time allows, combine with Yulin’s local “Yuntian Cultural City” (stunning ancient-style architecture) or “Dalongshan National Forest Park” (which may have rime frost in winter) for a joint visit. 💎 Warm tips: This is an artificial scenic area designed to create a fairy tale atmosphere, so please do not expect the historical depth of the original Austrian town. Winter is the off-season; some shops or activities may open on a rotating basis, so it is recommended to call ahead before traveling. Guangxi winters are damp and cold; although not as severe as northern China, it still feels chilly, so keep warm. This is a dream-making space. For families who cannot travel to Europe for now, it offers a stunning alternative, allowing children to experience a fairy tale holiday full of exotic charm on familiar soil.

In Xinwei Town, Beiliu City, Yulin, Guangxi, a building that looks like it escaped from a fantasy story is challenging people's perceptions of traditional architectural aesthetics. From afar, a 10-story building stands tall in the ordinary rural landscape, with Russian-style domes competing with Thai-style spires, French fences interwoven with Chinese pavilions. This building, known locally as the "Strange Building," is officially called the "Farmer Art Building." It has no design blueprints; all the designs exist only in the mind of a farmer. Li Jiguang, an ordinary farmer from Beiliu City, used his lifetime savings and more than ten years to turn this wild imagination into reality with his own hands. --- 01 Architectural Wonder: A Visual Feast Traveling the World Passing through the fence, the first thing that catches the eye is the three large characters "Wildman Valley" at the entrance. Stepping inside feels like entering a dimension full of whimsical ideas. Each floor has a unique theme and style, featuring sculptures of ethnic figures, ancient Chinese reliefs, an aerial glass bridge, mushroom pavilions, teapot fountains, a starry sky ceiling, a clock tower, and many other attractions. The passage from the second to the third floor is designed as a tree hollow staircase, full of primitive charm. The third floor has a transparent glass bridge where visitors can experience the thrill of suspension and overlook the scenery below. Higher floors present an even richer mix of styles: Russian onion-shaped domes stand side by side with French fences, while Chinese gardens blend harmoniously with Southeast Asian decorative elements. Li Jiguang described his vision to visitors: "In my design, this building not only contains traditional art but also some elements of technological magic." He plans to install advanced imaging equipment on the ceiling of the seventh floor to allow visitors to enjoy 3D images of plants and animals. Additionally, he intends to build a helicopter model beside the corridor, which from a distance will create the visual effect of a helicopter circling the rooftop. 02 Source of Dreams: A Farmer’s Persistence and Dedication Li Jiguang, a native farmer of Beiliu, has loved painting and sculpture since childhood. As an adult, he worked in the construction industry, specializing in ecological building projects. Although he never received formal training and cannot draw blueprints, he has unique insights into creativity and craftsmanship in engineering. Regarding the motivation to build the structure, Li Jiguang said he heard foreigners think Chinese houses all look like matchboxes. To break this stereotype, he decided to build this "Farmer Art Building." "Once completed, this building will be called the 'Farmer Art Building,' and it represents the essence of my life's design work," Li Jiguang said proudly. Even more surprisingly, the building’s construction was not a whim. Li Jiguang claims it is the result of a 50-year cooperation agreement signed with relevant authorities. Many years ago, the area was planned as a tourist zone, and the local government intended to build a landmark building here. Because of his achievements in ecological construction design, the authorities allocated over 3 acres of land to him and signed a cooperation agreement for him to design, build, and raise funds. 03 Construction Journey: Ten Years of Hard Work The "Strange Building" began construction in 2014, entirely designed by Li Jiguang, with most of the main structure built by himself. Over seven years, he has spent 15 million yuan of his savings but has only completed 60% of the project. The construction process has been extremely difficult. Due to limited funds, interior decoration has been done slowly by Li Jiguang himself. In 2021, he estimated it would take about another year to complete the entire project. However, as of 2025, the building is still being improved, showing the scale of the project and Li Jiguang’s persistence. Materials come from various sources, and Li Jiguang continuously invests the profits he earns from other contracted projects into this building. He cannot draw blueprints; every design is stored in his mind and directly transformed into reality during construction. This unique building method gives the "Strange Building" the charm of spontaneous creation. 04 Internet Celebrity Attraction: An Unfinished Tourist Hotspot Although the "Strange Building" is not yet fully completed, it has already attracted many visitors. During this year’s Spring Festival, it received up to ten thousand visitors in a single day. Since the May Day holiday, tourists from various places have come daily to visit and take photos, making the "Strange Building" a popular internet celebrity spot. Visitors have mixed reviews: some praise it, saying, "What a unique building! The person who built it is so imaginative." Others comment, "From the side, the building looks like an ancient warship sailing." Some say, "It seems like all the world-famous buildings appear on this building." Currently, visitors must pay a 20 yuan entrance fee to visit the "Strange Building." However, reports say Li Jiguang has stated that after the building is fully decorated, it will continue to be open to visitors for free. The current ticket fee may be to offset the increasing construction costs. 05 Cultural Significance: A Vivid Expression of Folk Creativity The existence of the "Strange Building" breaks the boundaries of people's perceptions of farmers and traditional architecture. Li Jiguang’s creation showcases the raw impulse and unrestrained imagination of folk art. Some cultural critics compare the "Strange Building" with another famous Yulin building, the "Yuntian Palace," saying they together embody the cultural code of the Yulin region: "If the Strange Building represents the rustic and common, Yuntian Palace is the refined and elegant. Though seemingly far apart, both are unique in the world." Li Jiguang has beautiful hopes for the future of the "Strange Building": "People can put down all their worries, enter this 'Farmer Art Building,' relax, open their hearts, and enjoy wonderful times." In his imagination, visitors can return to a primitive tribe like wild men and regain their innocence; they can also appreciate the perfect display of Chinese and Western cultural arts. --- Li Jiguang said this building is the essence of his life's design work. From a certain perspective, it indeed transcends architecture itself and becomes a symbol of the persistent pursuit of dreams. Today, this "Strange Building" still quietly stands on the land of Beiliu City, attracting many visitors. Perhaps true creation never confines itself to rules—this still-growing Strange Building is a dream diary written by an ordinary person with bricks and tiles. Farmer Art Building (Strange Building)

There aren't many places to visit on this small island 🏝️. If you're looking for a convenient, cost-effective route to avoid the crowds during the National Day holiday, this off-the-beaten-path electric car self-driving route (Haikou ➡️ Yulin ➡️ Nanning) is worth saving!

The hotel isn't located in the city center of Yulin; it's a leisure resort-style hotel, about 3 kilometers from the nearby Wucai Tianyuan scenic area. It's perfect for relaxing and unwinding, and you can even swim. Basic facilities are all available, and surprisingly, there were many activities for children during the National Day holiday, such as fishing and a bubble pool, which the kids enjoyed immensely. 🧩Important: There are very few charging stations nearby, making it unsuitable for new energy vehicles. 3️⃣Attractions: Wucai Tianyuan, Pengdong Village, Yulin Shizijie, Darongshan National Forest Park, Yulin Garden Expo Park 🧩Wucai Tianyuan: A modern agricultural demonstration zone and a 4A-level tourist attraction. The scenic area features natural landscapes like Chuanjingshan and Tianmenguan, as well as cultural attractions like Baoxiang Temple. It's also a demonstration base for hybrid rice cultivation by Longping High-Tech. The mini-train ride (20 RMB) through the rice paddies, bathed in the setting sun, brings a sense of peace. 🧩Pengdong Village, founded in the Ming Dynasty, is a traditional Chinese village. The village retains ancient opera stages and the Huayue Tower, buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties, representing typical examples of traditional Lingnan architecture. There's no entrance fee. Inside, the antique buildings are perfect for strolling and experiencing the passage of time. The red walls of Pengdong at the entrance are a classic photo spot, and children can even buy fish food to feed the fish – a truly joyful experience. 🧩Shizi Street: Every city has a commercial and cultural street. Shizi Street's history dates back to the Tang Dynasty, and it also features distinctive arcade buildings. It's mainly for strolling and sampling local snacks, especially the ice-and-fire pineapple bun – a must-try! There are also many clothing stores here, and they're incredibly cheap… 🧩Darongshan National Forest Park and the Garden Expo Park were not visited; you can arrange these on your own itinerary. 3️⃣Food: 🧩Colorful Countryside Dendrobium Restaurant: Randomly chosen, a farmhouse-style restaurant. Dendrobium dishes are their signature, and the flavors are quite unique. They have Dendrobium chicken, Dendrobium tofu, and Dendrobium pigeon soup. I felt very energized after eating, and the taste was great. I also bought a lot of Dendrobium tea; as a tea novice, I prefer the subtle tea flavor. 🧩Wang Shisanfu Duck: A 30-year-old establishment. Their free-range ducks are specially marinated, resulting in tender and chewy meat. Served with ginger, soybeans, and a special sauce, it's flavorful without being greasy. 🧩Zeng Ershisi Beef Brisket Noodle Shop: A 50-year-old establishment run by three generations. Featured on CCTV's food program. Their signature dish is beef brisket and beef jerky noodles. The beef brisket is tender and flavorful, and the beef jerky is made from the rump of yellow cattle, offering a satisfying chew. The beef balls have a crispy texture.

#discoverchina Just an hour’s drive from Yulin, Darong Mountain unfolds as a natural retreat where winding roads lead to stunning landscapes. The journey itself is part of the experience—you’ll drive up the mountain, passing through an area known as "Windmill Hill," where turbines stand tall against the open sky. Some spots along the route serve as perfect viewing platforms, offering travelers a chance to pause and take in the sweeping vistas. But the real gem lies near the chapel, where the scenery evokes a serene, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Many compare it to the beauty of Altay, with rolling hills and soft, ethereal light making every frame a masterpiece. Darong Mountain isn’t just a destination—it’s a tranquil escape where nature’s grandeur and peaceful energy come together. 🌿✨🏞️🚗

#discoverchina At first glance, the Peasant Art Building is a striking masterpiece—its unusual design and artistic flair make it an eye-catching landmark. The eccentric architecture provides a fantastic backdrop for photography, offering unique angles and bold visuals that stand out effortlessly. However, beyond its captivating façade lies an unfinished interior, a space left in limbo without proper renovations. While the exterior is worth a visit, the inside doesn’t offer much, making the admission fee hardly justifiable. For those seeking aesthetic inspiration, the Peasant Art Building delivers from the outside—just don’t expect much beyond its intriguing shell. 🌿✨🏛️📸
