Travel route: Guangzhou - Liuzhou - Jinchengjiang - Yaowangtianxia - Mianhuatiankeng - Liuzhou - Guangzhou

📍Jinchengjiang:

📍Hechi Little Three Gorges:
The cruise + shuttle bus costs 70 yuan. If you arrive at 10 am, you have to queue up for the boat at 2 pm. The cruise takes about 1 hour. After getting off the boat, you must walk on the plank road and walk all the way back to the ticket office (it takes 30 minutes)
Photo shooting points:
While waiting, you can go back and take photos along the way (the cable bridge and train tracks are very photogenic)
‼ ️The rural road to Xiao Sanxia is super beautiful, and the roadside is like a landscape painting

📍Yaowang Tianxia—Dongtian Shengjing
⏩️Accommodation: Yaowangfu Hotel in Baiku Yao Village
💰300+ including breakfast (8 yuan for children) clean and comfortable
⏩️Food: There are some food stalls in the scenic area, and the soup noodles are pretty good
📝Strategy: Arrive at the hotel at 7pm. After checking in, you can go to the Geyas Valley Scenic Area to participate in the bonfire party with your room card. Get up early the next morning, have breakfast at the hotel, walk to the entrance of the scenic area to buy the Dongtian Shengjing ticket (half-price ticket 💰55 yuan, including the shuttle bus). You can take the shuttle bus at 9 o'clock (‼️ Be sure to sit in the back/front row, because we will go through the cave and can take pictures of different scenery). It takes 2 hours to walk through the cave. There are chairs for rest along the way. There are very few people and the scenery is spectacular. It is very worthwhile
The shuttle bus returns to the Baiku Scenic Area to continue the tour. The scenery is average and 2 hours is enough

📍Cotton Tiankeng
🎫Package💰460 double accommodation + Tiankeng ticket + Changsheng Cave, children over 1.2 years old will be charged 💰60
⏩️Accommodation: Mianhua Tiankeng B&B Hotel
⏩️Food:
✅Huanji Farmhouse Cuisine - near the B&B, large portions, good taste, and not expensive

📝Strategy:
Arrive at Tiankeng at 5pm, check in at the hotel reception at the entrance of Tiankeng Scenic Area, and drive to the B&B to check in
The next day, I drove to the parking lot near the basketball court and walked to the Cliff Cafe for breakfast (children need to pay 20 yuan for the additional ticket).
Take the shuttle bus to the entrance of the Tiankeng scenic area, walk to the bottom of the pit first, then walk up. There are tightrope performances every once in a while. The whole Tiankeng takes 2 hours. There are various challenge projects at the exit (extra fee. The children played the rainbow bridge across the Tiankeng, 40 yuan for a round trip)
⚠️The shuttle bus to Changsheng Cave is one-way, and you have to walk back by yourself (about 30 minutes)

📍Liuzhou
⏩️Accommodation: Nantian Hotel
The service is very good. There is a bus at the door, you can rent an electric car, and there is a market nearby with a lot of food.
⏩️Food:
✅Feng Zhang snail rice noodle: sour bamboo shoots are the best
✅Five-star food court:
❗️Don't drive there, it's hard to park, you can take a tricycle
The burgers are delicious, the sour food is delicious, the fried ice cream is delicious, and the soup dumplings are good
