Things to do in Tiandeng

剑龙山这地方可真不赖！远远望过去，山峰一排排跟巨龙背脊似的，石头缝里蹿出来的松树歪歪扭扭的，活像龙鳞上长的毛。太阳一照，整座山金灿灿的，跟镀了层油似的发亮。山道弯弯绕绕，石板路磨得能照见人影，踩上去脚底板凉丝丝的。半山腰那棵老槐树少说也得三四个人才能抱住，树底下总歇着挑山工，扁担往地上一杵，汗珠子啪嗒啪嗒往青苔上砸。最绝的是山顶的云海！白茫茫的雾气跟煮开的牛奶锅似的，风一吹就露出底下黑黝黝的悬崖。有个铁匠铺改的茶摊，老板拿山泉水泡的野茶，苦得人直咧嘴，可回甘能甜到嗓子眼儿。山脚村民都说这山有灵性，下雨前山顶准冒白烟。

The He-Na Expressway from Jingxi to Napo is 124 kilometers long and is a typical karst mountain area. It is known as the most beautiful highway in China, a world-famous highway, and a must-visit route for self-driving tourists. The scenery along the way includes the Gulongshan Bridge Group, which crosses the Tongling Grand Canyon, the Gulongshan Grand Canyon, and the Sandieling Waterfall, three major scenic spots, where you can enjoy the canyons, caves, waterfalls, flowing water, and mountains; the frontier fairyland town - Jingxi, a livable city, and a paradise city for self-driving tourism; the 100 large bridges - crossing three mountains, the British "Mirror" called it "the most beautiful road in the world."

By the end of October, the water level had dropped significantly. I suggest introducing an off-season ticket. The entrances and exits of the attraction are located at higher elevations, while the core area is at a lower elevation. There are many stairs to climb, which is very uncomfortable for your legs.

The scenic area is definitely worth a visit. We bought hiking tickets and finished the entire route in less than two hours. Since we had some extra time, my husband also bought rafting tickets. He paddled around on the water for fifty minutes each, and had a blast! We even captured some incredibly beautiful Tyndall effect photos. A truly delightful trip! ✌️🥳

Entry to the park is convenient with your ID card, and the boat departs on time with a guide providing commentary on the scenery along the way. Personally, I prefer the land-based landscapes, especially the dragon fruit orchard, which has a Tuscan estate feel.

It was quite fun. We arrived right at closing time, and there were almost no people left, it felt like we had the place to ourselves. It was quite cold and slippery inside the Dragon Palace, so definitely wear pants if you come. It's also humid and hot inside the Dragon Palace, so bring a fan.

Mingshi Pastoral Area, located in Kanxu Township, Daxin County, Chongzuo City, is about 200 kilometers from Nanning City. It is 37 kilometers from the Zhongyue Tian Waterfall and 10 kilometers from Vietnam. The core scenic area covers approximately 20 square kilometers and is Guangxi's second national-level tourist resort. In 2024, it was selected as one of China's Beautiful Villages. The core area of ​​the scenic area consists of various lava landforms, including peak clusters, depressions, peak forests, valleys, and river basins. The diverse landforms create a magnificent karst landscape with towering peaks and competing peaks. The scenery is picturesque in all four seasons, earning it the reputation of "Landscape Gallery," "Hermit's Abode," and "Landscape Gallery on the China-Vietnam Border." It has been a filming location for 20 films and television series, including *The Journey of Flower* and *The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl*.

Tongling Grand Canyon offers a complete experience of walking through waterfalls. The scenic area isn't very large, so it's not tiring to walk around. It's currently the off-season, so you can visit if you have time.

I think this is pretty good. We went to Sandieling first, which is very close to here. Then we came in around noon. There are mountains, water, waterfalls, caves, and rafting. We chose the free rafting option, which is best enjoyed on your own, especially if you're not elderly. You can take your time taking photos and exploring.
