Laos "Little Guilin" | Wanrong Travel Guide

Laos - the most convenient neighboring country to reach by land, this country is poor and backward, but people are content with the status quo, attracting global tourists with its original scenery and leisurely small towns. Among them, the tourist town of Wanrong not only shares the same name as a county town in China, but also has scenery similar to Guilin in Guangxi, with familiar karst landforms. The difference is that it maintains its original flavor to a great extent, and even with tourists from all over the world, there is no obvious commercial taste. From high-end resorts to cheap youth hostels, different consumer groups can enjoy themselves here. Perhaps it is related to the gameplay. The local outdoor organizations are very professional, and all daytime activities are held outdoors, allowing you to get close to nature and mountains. There are different combinations for different players, and even beginners can have fun and return satisfied. And at night, it's a time for free relaxation, your own time, just like the pace of life in this country. Lying flat is the correct way to open up, and besides, Wanyuan is more like a countryside, but it will cater to the needs of tourists and provide travel convenience and comfort as much as possible. TIPS: Best travel months: December to February Transportation: high-speed train, self-driving, private shuttle bus ⛺[Recommended Activities]: 1. Hot air balloon sightseeing: Sunrise and sunset are the best time periods. The hot air balloons here are very safe and feel like toys. They fly slowly and low, and you can even greet people below clearly. 2. Passionate Go-Karting: The beautiful scenery of Wanrong is distributed in the countryside, on rugged rural roads, making it the perfect place to drive go-karts. Enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way and experience the excitement of bumps and thrills. 3. Kayaking: The shallow and gentle Nan Song River in winter is especially suitable for this activity. Kayaking downstream requires almost no effort, as long as you maintain balance, you can enjoy the joy of this sport. 4. Tire drifting: All you need is a tire, drifting downstream from upstream. Europeans and Americans enjoy it the most, drifting while drinking Lao beer, carefree and happy. 5. Blue Sinkhole and Cave: The cave in Wanrong is not as beautiful as those in Guangxi, but it is unique; the water in the cave flows out and forms a pool, clear and blue, called the Blue Sinkhole. Laotians have added recreational facilities such as diving platforms, swings, and tree houses. The surrounding environment is excellent, perfect for playing fancy diving and enjoying nature. 6. Hiking to watch the sunset: The small mountain is suitable for climbing, with only a small fee charged. There is a simple observation pavilion set up at the top, as well as props for taking photos. It's not just about how beautiful the scenery is, but the atmosphere of a small United Nations is what makes it interesting. 7. Leisure by the Nan Song River: After a tiring day of playing, the Nan Song River at night is the best place to rest. Enjoy the cool breeze, savor Laotian cuisine, release Kongming lanterns, and indulge in romance. Some dining tables are even placed in the water, adding a touch of creativity. Above, you can explore on your own or join a local tour with a small United Nations-style approach. The key is to let go and knowing how to swim is also important. 🏨[Accommodation Guide]: Riverside scenic hotel, rice field hotel across the river, in short, if you have requirements for accommodation, location is the most important. 🧡[Other reminders]: 1) All the needs for travel can be met at the inn where you stay, including joining a tour, booking a bus to the next destination, renting a car, etc., without the need to avoid traps like in China. 2) If you go in January, you may also encounter the Lao New Year. There will be plenty of handsome guys and beautiful girls at the event, showcasing ethnic costumes. It's just a bit hot during the day.
