Zhang Xinyu's Guangxi Haokun Lake Self-Drive Lazy Guide (with Complete Route Map)

Haokun Lake is definitely the most unexpected surprise destination this time 🥰✨ Originally planned to go rafting but couldn't get tickets, so we changed course here last minute. The result was so beautiful I couldn't look away! "Chinese National Geography" did not deceive me. The title "Emerald Lost in the World" is well deserved 💎 Even celebrity Zhang Xinyu has checked in here~ 📍Address: Haokun Village, Xiajia Town, Lingyun County, Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region

🚗【3 Tested Transportation Options Compared】 1⃣ Highly recommend self-driving: Navigate to "Haokun Lake Ticket Office" About 1.5 hours from Baise city center Winding mountain roads but in good condition ✅ Tips: Beginners are advised to drive slowly~

2⃣ Zhang Xinyu's same hiking route Navigate to "Nongwaicun Basketball Court" (Xiajia Town, Lingyun County, Baise) Sedan cars proceed with caution ⚠ Road conditions are poor After parking, a 1-hour hike is needed to reach the viewing platform Suitable for hiking enthusiasts, ordinary tourists should be cautious ❎

3⃣ Public transport: Take the "Baise-Lingzhan" shuttle bus from Baise Bus Station 2-hour ride, then need to transfer Suggest planning your time in advance ⏰
