Guangxi Du'an | This River That Blooms Takes Your Breath Away

| This river that blooms is breathtakingly beautiful. 📍 Location: Chengjiang River, Du'an Yao Autonomous County, Guangxi ⏰ Best viewing period: May to October (the floral display peaks in summer!) ✨ Why is it called the "River That Blooms"? Every summer, the Chengjiang River is covered with "Ottelia acuminata" flowers. Their pure white petals sway with the current, like stars scattered across the water ✨! These flowers are extremely sensitive to water quality and can only thrive in exceptionally clean rivers, making them nature's "water quality inspectors." 📸 **Must-Visit Spots**: ✅ **Xiangshui Pass**: Glide through the floral sea on a bamboo raft—close enough to touch the petals! The water is so clear you can dive right in for a swim. ✅ **Chengjiang Wetland Park**: Take in panoramic views of karst peaks—every shot is postcard-worthy! ✅ **Jiudun Tiankeng** (the source): A paradise for divers! With crystal-clear visibility underwater, you might even spot rare "peach blossom jellyfish" 💧. 💡 **Tips**: ▪️ Visit at dawn or dusk for softer light and a dreamier water surface.

Longji Rice Terraces

#chinatravel Alright so Long Ji Rice Terrace was straight up magical. I wasn't even planning to hike much but once I saw those endless layers of green just wrapping around the mountains I couldn’t stop walking. It feels like something out of a fantasy movie. Everywhere you look it’s just like wow how is this even real. I went early in the morning and the clouds were still hugging the hills so it looked super dreamy. The villages around there are tiny and cozy and the locals are chill. Some even invite you in for tea or food which was awesome. And shoutout to the grandma who let me try homemade rice wine. That stuff hits. The trails aren’t hard but bring comfy shoes because you’ll definitely wanna wander off and explore random little paths. If you're into nature or just want to see something totally different from city life this place is a must. Pics don't do it justice. Just go.
