A Bookstore Hidden in the Mountain Valley

Recently visited an incredibly unique spot—the Cliffside Bookstore at Luocheng Cotton Sky Pit!
This bookstore feels like it's embraced by nature, perched on a cliff. When night falls and the lights turn on, it’s like stepping into the illusion of a hidden scripture pavilion.
• Built into the rock face, surrounded by ancient stones and weathered wooden walkways, it feels like traveling to another world.
• The nighttime ambiance is especially soothing, with warm yellow lights casting a dreamy and mystical glow over the entire bookstore.

📍Location: [Mianhua Village, Siba Town, Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region]
❕Transportation:
• Self-driving from nearby cities: The roads are now well-paved, making the uphill drive very convenient and smooth.

💬 Real Experience:
Thought it was a niche attraction, but the geological wonders left me speechless! Vines on the pit walls cascade like green waterfalls, and we even met local elders in ethnic costumes who taught us folk songs. Few crowds, wild scenery—absolute hidden gem of Guangxi tourism!
