What kind of new travel experience will emerge when world-class karst landscapes meet an immersive traditional Chinese-style gaming feast? Recently, the China-Vietnam border Nongdong Cultural Tourism Carnival held successfully in Daxin County, Chongzuo, Guangxi, delivered a stunning answer for travelers seeking unique and in-depth journeys.
Stay: Poetic Living Amidst Mountains and Waters
Daxin County, as the core area of the "Hundred-Mile Landscape Gallery," boasts world-class attractions such as Detian Transnational Waterfall and Mingshi Pastoral. It is recommended that visitors stay in distinctive homestays or high-end resorts within the Mingshi Pastoral scenic area. Opening the window reveals ink-wash painting-like karst peaks; waking up to the sound of frogs in the morning and watching herdsmen ride cattle home at dusk truly fulfills the dream of "living in the scenery." Many local hotels also offer "Zhuang Culture Experience Rooms," equipped with traditional looms, Zhuang ethnic costumes, and more, allowing cultural immersion throughout the stay.
Play: When Traditional Festivals Meet Digital Cultural Tourism
The most delightful part of travel is the unexpected cultural collision. During the carnival, visitors can not only participate in authentic Zhuang harvest celebrations and enjoy intangible cultural heritage performances such as Zhuang brocade making and Tianqin (a traditional string instrument) shows, but also have the chance to encounter the beautiful cosplayers of "A Chinese Ghost Story" among the pastoral fields. These carefully crafted game characters blend harmoniously with the green mountains and clear waters, becoming "mobile scenery" that tourists eagerly photograph. This wonderful fusion of tradition and modernity makes the cultural journey vivid and fun.
