Guangxi is so amazing! A hidden ancient village on my bucket list

After exploring many famous cities, I decided to dig deeper into a hidden travel destination that I have cherished for a long time.
This time I came to Daling Village in Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County, Laibin, near Guangxi, to experience its misty, dreamlike beauty, as if I had entered a fairyland.
During my short stay here, I compiled a travel guide.

🚦How to get there: Take the high-speed train 🚅 to "Liuzhou Station", then you can choose to rent a car and drive yourself, and you can reach "Jinxiu Yao Tianxia" in about 2 hours by navigation. If you start from Nanning, it will take about 3.5 hours to drive.

✅A secret place deep in the Yao Mountain: Jinxiu is located on a mountain at an altitude of 600 meters, and there are still many ancient buildings in the ancient villages deep in the Yao Mountain. We drove there in the rain, and when we arrived, it was pouring rain in the valley, and the thick fog obscured our view. Just as we were lamenting the bad weather, the rain stopped and the fog cleared. In the evening, I used a drone to record the beautiful scenery of the valley - the mist was swirling around the village, like a dream, unbelievably beautiful.

🏨Accommodation recommendation: Jinxiu Yao Tianxia Homestay is located in the center of Daling Village. I made a pot of tea 🍵, lit a lamp, and read a book 📚. I sat quietly by the window of my room for a long time. I didn't expect the scenery of Guangxi to be so charming. It was really worth the trip. When I woke up the next morning, the sky cleared up, and I flew the drone again. The sunny valley looked vibrant.

❗Tips:
1⃣️If you want to see the panoramic view, don't forget to bring a drone. I think the best time to shoot is before dark in the evening.
2⃣️There is a winding mountain road along the way. The day we went there was foggy and the visibility was very low, so please drive carefully.
3⃣️The current temperature is about 10 degrees, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is about 5 degrees. It is recommended to bring appropriate clothing. The front door of the homestay provides a free parking lot.
4⃣️There is a district-level forest health canyon stream about 4 kilometers away in Dengtun, and it takes about 2.5 hours to drive to the gate of the nearby Shengtang Mountain Scenic Area, and it takes about 4 hours to reach the top.
