️Don’t just focus on Guilin!! This border town is the top winter travel spot in Guangxi🏞️
(Wuwuwu, I don’t want to go to Guangxi either… but Chongzuo’s 20℃ winter is just too perfect!)
🔥Chongzuo winter escape yyds!
Every winter break, I bring the kids here to avoid the cold🥰
Who understands the magical 20℃ average winter temperature!!
Enjoy the warm breeze while admiring the karst landscape⛰️
Instantly get the same beautiful scenery as Yangshuo~
✨【Transportation Guide】
✈️Route options:
➊ Fly directly to Nanning Wuxu Airport (2 hours by car to Chongzuo)
➋ High-speed train directly to Chongzuo Station (super convenient!)
➌ Most recommended!! Self-driving from Nanning, 2 hours direct (the scenery along the way is breathtaking😭)
🚗【Ways to Travel】
Since attractions are far apart, it’s recommended to:
