Braving Hechi with Kids and Ending Up as Mud Monkeys! These 4 Pits Are Deeper Than Sinkholes

Sisters! Took my 6-year-old on an adventure to Guangxi’s "hidden gem"—the landscapes are breathtaking, but the chaos is next-level! My kid turned into a "human waterfall" during creeking, while I chased a floating scoop down a dark river... Here’s my tearful 3-day, 2-night survival guide to save you from buying ten packs of mosquito repellent patches‼️ ♦️Journey Through Hell (Extreme Mode) Day1⃣️: Stuck in Nanning traffic 👉 Frozen like a 🐧 at Jiudun Tiankeng 👉 Slipping and sliding while chasing light beams at Nongxiang Tiankeng 👪 Spicy BBQ at Xiong’e left the kid in tears Day2⃣️: Sunburned at Baiku Yao Village 👉 Bumping into stalactites at Dongtian Shengjing 👉 Boiling like dumplings in geomagnetic hot springs 👉 Almost puking from Dingguan Tun Duck Day3⃣️: Soaked during creeking at Danlu Mountain 👉 Lost shoes rafting and went home barefoot 👪 Crying at the highway rest stop ✅Jiudun Tiankeng A real-life "sapphire pool"! Bought my kid a unicorn float 🦄, only for it to spin like a carousel in the undercurrent. Seaweed flowers tangled around his feet, and he screamed, "Mom, the seaweed’s eating me!" The diving coach said visibility was 15m—we could clearly see his slippers sinking to the bottom... ✅Nongxiang Tiankeng Chasing Tyndall beams! Tried to pose the kid like a "divine maiden," but he sneezed into the light 🤧. Moss-covered stalactites turned us into "four-legged climbers." The security guard laughed: "You’re more agile than monkeys!" ✅Danlu Mountain Fairy Pool Creeking A wild "rapids ride"! The 3m jump platform turned my kid into a koala 🐨, clinging to my back and begging, "Mom, let’s go home and do homework!" Our raft got stuck between rocks, and I had to push it barefoot while fish nibbled my toes... 💣Deadly Pitfalls: 1⃣️ Don’t trust navigation times! The mountain road to Jiudun Tiankeng made my kid puke breakfast into a "rainbow waterfall." 2⃣️ No Crocs in Dongtian Shengjing! The 16°C underground river gave us frostbite, and mossy steps had us doing splits. 3⃣️ Avoid dye vats in Baiku Yao Village! Kid’s white tee became "abstract tie-dye," and we lost a ¥500 deposit. 4⃣️ Geomagnetic hot springs are risky! Sulfur water made the kid yell, "This pool smells like farts!" and beg to leave. 🍜Food Wars: ✔️ Baoxing Restaurant’s lemon duck 🍋—sour and spicy, kid ate three bowls of rice with the sauce. ✔️ Xiong’e grilled chicken wings 🍗—crispy and juicy, but so spicy the kid chugged AD Calcium Milk. ✔️ Stuffed squash blossoms 🌸—refreshing, but the kid hollowed them out to make "flower armor." ✖️ Skip the scenic bamboo rice—undercooked with mystery hairs. ✖️ So-called "mineral water" 💧 tasted like foot wash—kid made meme-worthy gag faces. 📸Instagram-Worthy Spots: 1⃣️ Paddleboard photos at Jiudun Tiankeng (pose as a mermaid). 2⃣️ Twirling in Tyndall beams at Nongxiang Tiankeng. 3⃣️ Ethnic-style shots with tie-dye fabric in Baiku Yao Village. 4⃣️ Mid-air creeking jump photos (faces of pure terror). 🏡Accommodation Roulette: ✔️ Nandan Geomagnetic Resort: Hot springs under the stars 🌌—kid almost drowned falling asleep. ✔️ Du’an Vienna Hotel: Free rubber ducky, shower pressure gave the kid a gravity-defying hairdo. ✖️ A "trendy" B&B: Suspicious yellow stains on sheets, geckos hosting a dating show on the headboard. ⚠️Lifesavers: ✔️ Military-grade mosquito repellent (Baiku Yao mosquitoes bite through jeans). ✔️ Kids’ water shoes (creeking rocks hurt worse than acupressure mats). ✔️ Waterproof phone pouch (saved my phone during dark river rafting). ✔️ Foldable dryer (washed five outfits daily—no joke). On the way home, my kid held up seaweed flowers and yelled, "Mom, this is a mermaid’s hair!" Despite daily floods of chaos, seeing his jar of "sinkhole treasures" made it all worth it.
