Discovered an underrated hidden gem in Hezhou! The Shibashui Primitive Ecological Scenic Area truly amazed me, the combination of waterfalls and primeval forest is so healing🌿 Definitely the perfect choice to escape the city hustle and bustle~
📍Attraction address: Luhua Village, Huangtian Town, Pinggui District, Hezhou City, Guangxi
⏰Opening hours: 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM (last entry at 4:30 PM)
🎫Ticket reference: 48 RMB
🌟Highlights:
1. The core waterfall area is super stunning! I recommend visiting in the morning when the sunlight shines on the waterfalls, it’s especially beautiful. There are 18 waterfalls of various sizes in the scenic area, remember to wear non-slip shoes (don’t ask me how I know...)
2. The primeval forest trail is perfect for photos, a natural oxygen bar with trees shading the sky, bring mosquito repellent (important tip❗️)
3. Rainy days add to the atmosphere, with mist swirling like a fairyland (but be careful, the stone paths can be slippery)
4. The creek in the scenic area is very clear, great for playing in the water and cooling off in summer
📸Best photo spots:
- The viewing platform in front of the main waterfall (the distant view is breathtaking)
- The bend on the forest boardwalk (sunlight filtering through the leaves is stunning)
- The cluster of stones by the creek (perfect for portraits)
💡Useful tips:
- Driving is more convenient, the parking lot is large, about 40 minutes from Hezhou city center
- Plan to spend about 3 hours, the further you go, the fewer people and the more beautiful the scenery
- No restaurants on the mountain! Remember to bring snacks and water (but take your trash with you)
- No entry after 4:30 PM, morning visits are best for lighting
Unexpectedly found this natural oxygen bar just a 3-hour drive from Guangzhou, perfect for relaxing on weekends! I want to come back next time to see the autumn leaves~
