‼ ️No need to go to the paid parking lot, there is a free parking lot in the village, very close to the place where you can go kayaking for free! I basically walked up and down the river, and I think the most beautiful thing is 📍There are many tables and chairs under a banyan tree 50 meters east of Daxing Town Junior Middle School. The owner is a small shop down the stairs. The jelly and double skin milk are good, which is very good for relieving the heat. There is a bathroom (just a bit used at home) crowded) The boss is very nice and is willing to let the dog sit on the kayak. He said that it doesn’t want his paws to be damaged. I forgot the specific price. You can ask and negotiate for a better price. [Grin] Play time: 2 hours. Personally, I think Jiudun is much more beautiful than Lugu Lake~ [Cute] Outfit: It’s quite hot in October, so wear a skirt or short-sleeves. If you’re afraid of being exposed to the sun, it’s recommended to wear sun protection clothing. The source has been blocked by iron bars, Known as the "Underwater Mount Everest", there is water at the source of Chengjiang River all year round. The water is very cold, so don't go into the water easily. There were still many flowers after the National Day, but because there were fewer tourists, there was less cleaning and there was some garbage. We found a leak in the car there, and there is also a car repair place nearby (you need to drive a distance) Nearby attractions include Duan Xiangshui Pass and Nongxiang Tiankeng (arrange your time reasonably) [Trick] If you arrive at around 14:00 like us, you can visit Skylight and Xiangshui Pass. There is a stall in Xiangshui Pass where the rice dumplings are particularly delicious! ! ! Big! Others are also good! Great value for money! Only HKD7 [Congratulate] After arriving at the location, everyone will definitely have doubts about how to get to the river. You can ask the residents and children going to and from school~ Our accommodation is in Jinchengjiang District

Jiudun Skywell is located in Du'an Yao Autonomous County, Hechi City, Guangxi, and it is a very beautiful natural landscape.

The sea vegetables have not fully bloomed yet, but you can already see some flowers swaying in the water, adding vitality to the lake. It is said that this place is the Everest of cave diving, with four unfathomable caves underwater, where danger and beauty coexist. Although we can't dive, I can imagine the thrill and joy of exploring underwater. Here, time seems to stand still, and everything becomes so peaceful and beautiful. I can't help but think of the pastoral life described by poets; isn't this the paradise that modern people long for? When leaving Jiudun Skywell, my heart was filled with reluctance. I will always remember this beautiful place and look forward to the day when I can come back here and experience its unique charm. If you also love the beauty of nature, then you must not miss Jiudun Skywell. Here, you can relax and feel the charm of nature.

Guangxi Duan Shuichengjiang Flower Jiudun Skylight I originally thought that rafting on the river and witnessing this flowering river was the purpose of my visit to Du'an. When I was actually in Du'an, I didn't think so. I came to Duan to witness the different beauty of life. Nymphoides float freely in the water. They look as light as feathers, flowing with the water waves and sweeping the river. The long-awaited sea cauliflower has been hidden in the water due to the recent high water, and is only scattered on the river surface. Although I can't see it in full bloom this time, I look forward to seeing them again next time. Needless to say, the blue waves of the green pool are gradually blurred under the sunlight.
