Located in Rongshui, Laojun Cave, also known as Zhenxianyan, is the first of the eight scenic spots in Rongzhou. It is called Shuiyue Cave. Xu Xiake, a great traveler of the Ming Dynasty, lived here for 13 days, and left a travel record of 11,800 words, vividly depicting the mountains and waters of the Laojun Cave and the legendary mythology. Most of the stone cliffs in the cave are works of the Song Dynasty, among which the world The first true immortal rock is the title of Zhang Xiaoxiang, the famous poet of the Song Dynasty. In addition, the hidden fairy caves are equally wonderful. The small scenes of the old man returning from the cave, Laojun preaching, Laojun blessing and so on are more vivid, and the illumination of the colorful lights is like being in a fairyland. It is worth mentioning that the way to discover the hidden fairy cave is very special. There is a small skylight to find the cave below.

Come to Shuanglonggou, Rongshui, where there is a unique virgin forest, strolling on the scenic forest path, breathing high concentrations of negative oxygen ions, overlooking the dense forest on the glass bridge, and finally coming to the simple and warm nightmare Miao Village.

A great place to relax and relieve stress, I booked a homestay with my wife and kids about 2 hours away from Liuzhou. It started to drizzle when we arrived, but it didn't affect its beauty at all. Booking such a homestay online for just over 200 yuan feels very worthwhile. You can see the sea of clouds from the bed. The owner said there will be summer parent-child activities next month, such as catching fish, catching ducks, and swimming in spring water. I'll bring the kids to stay for a few days during the summer vacation next month. The trip is worth it.

At the border of Guangxi and Guizhou lies a city with beautiful scenery, low cost of living, and simple local customs, making it both a delightful place to eat and to have fun.

Not only is its industry well-developed, but it also boasts rich tourism resources, numerous attractions, and plenty of delicious street food. Here, at the border with Guizhou, the ethnic minority culture is strong.

The second option is to take a bus, from Sanjiang South Station → Liangkou, the current price is basically 15 yuan per person.

The Miao people refer to themselves as 'Mu', 'Meng', 'Daji', among others, and have gradually developed from a part of the 'Wuxi Man' during the Qin and Han dynasties. During the Song dynasty, one branch settled in the Yuanbao Mountain area of Rongshui, becoming the earliest ancestors of the Miao people in Guangxi today. The Miao people's distinctive wooden stilted houses, Lusheng dance, batik craftsmanship, and unique Miao folk songs, along with their richly imaginative myths, together form the colorful Miao culture. The Rongshui Miao Slope Festival evolved from a mass gathering for mourning ancestors and inspiring fighting spirit to a traditional festival for disaster prevention, prayer for blessings, and collective entertainment. Slope Festival activities take place from the third to the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. Among them, the Gulong Slope Festival is the largest in scale, with the festival held on the sixteenth day of the first and eighth lunar months each year. The former prays for a good harvest, while the latter celebrates the harvest. During the festival, various activities are held, including Lusheng competitions, horse fighting, horse racing, and playing games with peers.
