Chongzuo is truly a hidden gem perfect for family trips! Today, I’m sharing this detailed nanny-level guide for moms to enjoy 3 days and 2 nights surrounded by stunning landscapes~👇
🚗 Transportation
For out-of-town visitors, it’s recommended to fly to Nanning Wuxu Airport✈️
→ Then take a direct high-speed train to Chongzuo South Station🚅 (30-minute ride, ticket around 20+ RMB)
→ Or rent a car at the airport and drive there yourself🚙 (1.5-hour drive with beautiful karst landscapes along the way)
🏨 Accommodation Recommendations:
Night 1: Hotel in downtown Chongzuo (search "Chongzuo Tourism" on WeChat for local specialty homestays)
Night 2: Homestay near Mingshi Tianyuan (recommended "Hua Qian Gu style" bamboo house homestay)
