[2025 Daxin Stay] Travel Guide for Mingshi Nali Hotel (Updated May)

Who says middle-aged vacations are just for strolling through parks? Join us on a "Karst Recharging Adventure" to the China-Vietnam border—ride a bamboo raft across the border, channel your inner Spider-Man with your mom in a sinkhole, and teach your dad how to stir-fry tea at midnight. Five days and four nights that will leave your middle-aged soul more invigorated than Detian Waterfall! Energy Station 1: Aesthetic Healing in the Rice Paddies 🌾 The pool at MingShi NaLi Hotel is infused with the aroma of sticky rice. Relax on a bamboo lounge chair, savor colorful sticky rice, and watch Zhuang women gracefully sweep through the rice paddies. You'll suddenly understand why Tao Yuanming chose to live in seclusion—this isn't just a vacation; it's immersing your soul in a landscape painting! Venture out in the dark to Haokun Lake for a transparent boat ride. As the sound of paddles startles egrets, catch a glimpse of coffee packets tossed by Vietnamese vendors from the opposite shore. The thrill of catching one is more exciting than catching a bridal bouquet in your younger days! Then, brace yourself for a surprise water gun attack from your kids. The splash of water on your back is more refreshing than ten facial masks. Energy Station 2: Three Generations Embrace Borderland Adventures 🪁 The most exciting thing in Guangxi isn't the sour snacks, but the unexpected Michelin-star flair your dad displays while stir-frying tea. Treat the whole family to a private screening at the Lux* Resorts' starlit cinema, where your mom can enjoy popcorn wrapped in Zhuang brocade, while your dad and the grandkids conquer the sinkhole climbing ropes like Tarzan. Sneak out to Camp 1466 at night for some stargazing. As a shooting star streaks across the telescope lens, your mom might murmur, "These stars are brighter than the ones we saw during our rustication days!" Wow, even a sip of mountain coffee can evoke memories of those bygone years! Energy Station 3: Weekend Rescue Raft for Busy Workers 🚤 Driving to Chongzuo after work on Friday? Here's your "48-Hour Border Rejuvenation Guide": 🌙 ​​Day 1​​ 7pm: Arrive and head straight to the Bobiji Feast. Spicy snails with sour bamboo shoots will set your taste buds on fire. 10pm: Relax by the MingShi pool and count fireflies. Work messages? Read and ignore! ☀️ ​​Day 2​​ 7am: Rush to Detian Waterfall and become a "cross-border fisherman." Snap photos at the China-Vietnam border marker as your bamboo raft drifts by. 2pm: Strike a pose on Highway S62 for some epic road trip photos. Sunglasses on, world off. 8pm: Join the Zhuang bonfire party. Blow the Lusheng with more enthusiasm than your annual work report. ⚠️Important Note: Karst landscapes are more complex than Excel spreadsheets! Wear non-slip shoes like armor, and the iced Luo Han Guo tea from Lux* is more thirst-quenching than any sports drink. Don't be like me and try to carve your name on the sinkhole wall—the park ranger made me sweep fallen leaves for three days! Chuckling as I touch the tea stains on my shirt: Who needs health supplements when you have this? Five days as a "rice paddy bum" at MingShi NaLi, and the youthful spirit lost to time is rekindled by the mist of the cross-border waterfall! 🌊🍃

Upon entering Mingshi Nali Hotel, I was immediately struck by the pastoral poetry that greeted me. This hidden gem hotel beside Mingshi Tianyuan on the China-Vietnam border uses an exquisite blend of nature and delicate service to craft the gentlest footnote for my borderland journey. ✨【Architectural Aesthetics Hidden in Mountains and Waters】 The hotel is built in the Zhuang ethnic dry-stilt house style, with blue tiles and wooden beams seamlessly connecting to the rice field scenery. Walking through the vine-covered corridors, I suddenly understood the profound meaning of the word "Nali"—it is the "there" that city dwellers yearn for and the "there" locals cherish. Non-heritage Zhuang brocade elements are visible throughout the public areas. The lobby’s tall floor-to-ceiling windows frame the karst peaks like a dynamic ink painting. Sitting on the viewing platform at dusk, sipping tea while watching birds fly over the rice fields, the twilight spreads like honey, softening the heart. 🛏️【Rooms Immersed in Scenery】 I stayed in a rice field view room, where layers of green waves unfold right outside the window. The room’s main tones are natural wood and cotton-linen, with a Zhuang brocade pillow on the headboard as a finishing touch. The biggest surprise was the built-in bathtub facing the floor-to-ceiling window; soaking in it, I could see egrets flying over the fields, as if soaking the mountains and waters into the bath. The turndown service also included local brown sugar ginger tea, a detail that truly touched me. 🍚【Borderland Flavors on the Palate】 The hotel restaurant specializes in borderland dishes. The sour rice noodle breakfast is unforgettable—the fresh tang of pickled bamboo shoots pairs perfectly with the tender beef brisket, and the broth clearly shows the sincerity of being simmered overnight with beef bones. For dinner, I recommend the lemongrass roast chicken and stuffed field snails. The lemongrass fragrance seeps into the chicken fibers, and the stuffed snails mixed with minced pork are delicious, especially paired with the house-brewed green plum wine—a true borderland flavor adventure. By the way, the restaurant also offers ingredient-picking experiences, which is especially meaningful for families with children who can pick vegetables themselves. 🚴【Immersive Pastoral Activities】 The hotel provides free bicycles, and cycling along the Mingshi River is a visual feast. Passing through Zhuang villages, grandmas smile and hand you freshly picked passion fruit. Under the old banyan tree at the village entrance, you might meet folk artists playing the tianqin. If you prefer quiet, spend an afternoon in the hotel’s book bar, holding a book on borderland culture and watching cloud shadows paint the rice fields through the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the evening, join the hotel’s stargazing movie night, lying on bamboo mats watching old films, with the white noise of insects and rustling rice waves in your ears. It’s been a long time since I felt such a pure night. 💡【Those Warm Little Details】 From the front desk to the cleaning aunties, everyone warmly says "Welcome home," a service full of warmth that makes you feel at ease. Knowing I wanted to photograph the rice field sunrise, the butler specially prepared mosquito repellent and a flashlight, and hand-drew a map of the best shooting spots. At checkout, I received a Zhuang brocade sachet gift filled with dried mugwort fragrance, sealing all memories of "Nali" inside. If you are tired of the monotonous internet-famous hotels and want to find a place to truly unwind among mountains and waters, Mingshi Nali Hotel will give you the answer. It is not a model of luxury accumulation but weaves a pastoral dream you won’t want to wake from with natural textures and cultural warmth. Next time, I want to bring my parents here so they can also experience this "just perfectly slow" pace of life. 📌Tips: It is recommended to drive here; the hotel has free parking. The best views are during the rice transplanting season from May to June and the harvest season from September to October. Nearby attractions include Mingshi Tianyuan bamboo rafting and Detian Transnational Waterfall, both within a 30-minute drive. Mingshi Nali Hotel

Stumbling into a Real-Life Shangri-La | A Comprehensive Guide to Ming Shi Pastoral Guangxi, a region renowned for its stunning landscapes, hides a real-life Shangri-La—Ming Shi Pastoral. Here, clustered peaks, sprawling rice paddies, and the meandering Ming Shi River create a picturesque scene, like a scroll painting slowly unfolding, leaving visitors captivated and reluctant to leave. Below, I'll share my authentic experiences, practical tips, and helpful advice. 🏞 My Experience: From the moment I stepped into Ming Shi Pastoral, I was mesmerized by the scenery. Towering karst peaks rise between rice paddies and the river, while the crystal-clear Ming Shi River reflects the blue sky, white clouds, and lush greenery. Bamboo rafts glide gently across the water, creating ripples. In the distance, Zhuang villages dot the landscape, with wisps of smoke rising from chimneys, adding a touch of life. Time seems to slow down here, and a sense of tranquility washes over you. I chose to stay at the Ming Shi Nali Hotel, where the 270° view from my room allowed me to soak in the surrounding landscape the moment I woke up. The hotel's dining was also excellent, with a rich breakfast selection and fresh juices. The Chinese restaurant offered a comfortable ambiance and a diverse menu. It was truly a delightful experience. 🚗 Getting There: From Nanning, take a bus from Xixiangtang Bus Station to Daxin County. Then, transfer to the "Daxin - Ming Shi - Detian" tourist bus at Daxin Bus Station. The fare to Ming Shi is CNY 10. Alternatively, take the direct "Nanning - Ming Shi - Detian" tourist bus from Nanning. Self-driving is also a convenient option. 🎡 Things to Do: - Bamboo Raft Ride: This is the classic way to explore Ming Shi Pastoral. Drifting downstream on a bamboo raft, with a gentle breeze in your hair, you can admire the unique peaks, verdant bamboo groves, and rice paddies along the riverbanks. Snacks and tea are provided on the raft, and a guide will explain the sights along the way, offering insights into the local culture and stories. - Cycling Tour: Rent an electric scooter or bicycle and enjoy a leisurely ride along the paths by the river and rice paddies. I recommend starting from Ming Shi Nali Hotel and cycling along Ming Shi Bridge to Yulin Dam and Happiness Bridge. This route offers the most scenic views of the pastoral landscape. - Hiking: Stroll along the paths through the fields and by the river, breathing in the fresh air and feeling the gentle breeze. This is a great way to immerse yourself in the beauty of rural life. 🍱 Food Recommendations: - Roast Suckling Pig: A local specialty, best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. The crispy skin and tender meat are incredibly flavorful. - Grilled Pork Sausage: The addition of wild pepper gives this sausage a unique and delicious taste. - Farmhouse Cuisine: Savor the natural flavors of fresh, locally sourced vegetables. ❗ Tips for Your Visit: 1. Avoid holidays if possible, as the crowds will be smaller, and accommodation and rental prices may be lower. 2. Mosquitoes are common in the mountainous area, so bring mosquito repellent and anti-itch cream. 3. When renting an electric scooter, check the vehicle's condition, including the battery level and brakes. 4. Bargain for goods if prices are not clearly marked, especially near tourist areas.

Mingshi Rural Scenic Area (4A) should be regarded as the Little Guilin of Chongzuo. Its resources, scenery, and hotel tonality are all first-class. In particular, the LUX Chongzuo Secret Resort represents the highest level in Guangxi. Its price is over HKD6,000 per night all year round, and reservations are often not available. I heard that many first-tier celebrities and large corporate publicity agencies frequently visit this place, and few people come here to enjoy the scenery of Guilin. Here I recommend a hotel called Mingshi Tianyuan. The daily price is between HKD600-1,000, which is considered to be the first-tier level in the local area. The design style is very artistic, and the surrounding rice fields, rivers, and mountains are perfectly captured. There is a swimming pool and a great place to take photos. When I arrived, there was an old man lying on a sun lounger, enjoying the sunset and reading a book. It was quite atmospheric. There is a big bathtub, my favorite facility, the water is hot enough and the design of sitting position is cool. Free bicycles are also provided, and the parking lot is spacious and hidden among the green bamboos. The best time to visit is spring and autumn. When you arrive at the hotel, you can ride a bicycle or bike to see the scenery nearby or take a bamboo raft tour.
