I spent 3 days in Chongzuo and my spending perspective was completely shattered

In May, Chongzuo offers gentle sunshine, picturesque landscapes, and affordable prices. You can enjoy an amazing trip for just over 1,000 yuan 😆! Check out this high-value travel guide 👇 🚗 3-Day Itinerary: Day 1: Depart from Nanning - Detian Transnational Waterfall - Mingshi Countryside In the morning, take a bus from Nanning to Detian Transnational Waterfall 🌊. The scenery along the way is incredibly therapeutic! Upon arriving at the scenic area, take a bamboo raft to experience the magnificent waterfall up close. Enjoy the stunning views of the China-Vietnam border and even buy some unique snacks from Vietnamese vendors across the border 😋. In the afternoon, head to Mingshi Countryside and drift slowly on bamboo rafts, admiring the karst landscape reflections on both sides that look like scenes from the fantasy drama "Hua Qian Gu" 🎬. Stay overnight at a guesthouse near Mingshi Countryside for just dozens of yuan per person 🛏️, and try the local specialty sour porridge, which is both appetizing and unique. Day 2: Mingshi Countryside - Dragon Palace Cave Sleep in, then spend the morning exploring around Mingshi Countryside, visiting popular rice field spots and taking fresh photos 📷. At noon, head to Dragon Palace Cave where various stalactite formations, illuminated by colorful lights, create a dreamlike crystal palace 🔮. The incredible work of nature is truly amazing. After sightseeing, return to Daxin County and find a night market to enjoy local barbecue specialties like grilled pig eyes and oysters, paired with an ice-cold beer - delicious 🍺! Day 3: Daxin - Taiping Ancient Town On the way back, visit Taiping Ancient Town, a replica ancient architectural complex that's charming during the day and spectacular when lit up at night ✨. Wear traditional Hanfu clothing while wandering through the ancient alleys for great photo opportunities, and don't miss trying various snacks, especially the rice noodle rolls and sand cakes 🥟. Finally, take a high-speed train from Chongzuo back to Nanning to perfectly end your journey! 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations: Mingshi Countryside: "Mingshi Yaju Guesthouse" is recommended. Open your window to countryside views, enjoy a peaceful environment at affordable prices, and the owner will enthusiastically share local travel tips 👨‍🍳. Daxin County: Choose "Daxin Xinfeng Hotel" for convenient transportation, clean rooms, and excellent value for money 💰. Must-Do Experiences in Chongzuo: ✅ Bamboo Rafting: At Detian Waterfall and Mingshi Countryside, bamboo rafting is essential for an immersive experience of the natural beauty while saving energy. ✅ Try Local Specialties: Sour porridge, rice noodle rolls, sand cakes, "Qutou" eggs... each with unique flavors that food lovers will adore 😋! ✅ Night Tour of Taiping Ancient Town: The town is brilliantly lit at night - perfect for photos, shopping, and snacking - the atmosphere is amazing 💥! ⚠️ Money-Saving Tips: Purchase combined or discounted tickets online in advance 🎫 to save money.
