Mountain and Water Leisure Edition This title depicts the natural wonders of Wawu Mountain and the leisurely atmosphere of Liujiang Ancient Town

【Must-Visit Attractions · A Perfect Blend of Culture and Nature】

1. Sansu Shrine: The absolute highlight of the itinerary. This is the former residence of Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe, surrounded by red walls and green waters, with towering ancient trees and elegant pavilions and towers. Strolling here is no longer a superficial visit but a timeless dialogue with literati from a thousand years ago, experiencing the eternal charm of "a family of three famous poets."
2. Wawu Mountain National Forest Park: Known as the "giant table above the clouds." It is the largest table mountain in China and rare worldwide, with distinct seasonal scenery. In spring, admire the azaleas; in summer, watch the waterfalls; in autumn, enjoy the red leaves; in winter, savor the ice and snow. Take the cable car to the summit, wander through the original fir forest, encounter Tibetan macaques and red pandas, overlook the magnificent sea of clouds, and experience the grandeur of "standing atop Wawu Mountain, overlooking all smaller peaks."
3. Liujiang Ancient Town: Not just "Liujiang," but "Misty Rain Liujiang." The ancient town nestles by the mountains and water, marked by ancient banyan trees and stilted buildings. It’s best to visit on a drizzly day to see the mist and rain envelop the town as the lights come on, truly feeling the poetic atmosphere of "Misty Rain Liujiang" as if walking in a painting, enjoying a peaceful moment slowed down.
