A Hidden Mountain and Water Paradise in Lingyun

Climb to the top of the mountain to see the lake surface, then watch the clouds by the lake—this is probably my ideal way to spend a weekend. This time, Lingyun Haokun Lake was stunningly beautiful! The karst peaks reflected in the emerald green lake water make every shot look like a blockbuster scene.

📍Haokun Lake
Address: Haokun Village, Lingzhan Township, Lingyun County, Baise City, Guangxi
Opening Hours: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM (Note: No entry after 5 PM)
Ticket Price: 58 RMB per person

✨Travel Tips:
1. Be sure to go on a sunny day! The lake water under the sunlight is as clear as jade, perfect for photos.
2. It’s recommended to wear comfortable sneakers; the lakeside boardwalk and hiking trails are easy to walk.
3. The mountaintop viewing platform is a must-visit, and you can encounter adorable wild monkeys halfway up the mountain.

📸Photo Tips:
- The light is softest between 9-11 AM
- Use a telephoto lens by the lakeside boardwalk to capture mountain reflections
- Wearing white or bright-colored clothes makes photos stand out

Food Recommendations:
There are local farmhouses at the entrance of the scenic area where you can try Lingyun specialties like cured meat, wild honey, and mountain spring fish, all with great value!
