Guangxi is not just about karst, these natural wonders are also must-sees

Preface

Among the mountains and rivers in southwest China, there are lovely "Tuotuo Mountains". They are of various shapes and free and casual, just like steamed buns scattered on the earth. This landform is karst. Karst is not uncommon, and today we are going to explore the beautiful secrets in it.

China boasts the world's
largest, most diverse, and best-preserved
karst landforms,
with Guangxi being the most representative.
After the "March 3rd" holiday,
the best travel season is approaching.

The Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo
boasts the most typical karst landscapes.
These peaks are graceful in form, with gentle slopes.
Together with winding rivers and verdant fields, they create
a poetic landscape of "mountains like jade hairpins, rivers like azure silk ribbons." As

time quietly marches on ,
the mountains transform
, from clusters of peaks to isolated peaks.
These peaks embody the wonders of nature,

while beneath the surface
lies a mysterious world of water. These winding underground
rivers , like the blood vessels of the earth, have quietly carved out breathtaking subterranean wonders over eons. The underground river skylights of Sanmenhai, Fengshan County, Guangxi, allow sunlight to penetrate the water, casting dreamy shadows in the caverns . Known as "the world's most beautiful water skylights," these rivers continue to erode and dissolve, creating caves that appear like a fantasy world from another dimension. Stalactites of all shapes and sizes sparkle under the light, some cascading like waterfalls, others standing tall like pillars of jade. The interplay of reality and illusion makes it hard to tell whether one is in reality or a dream. As erosion continues to intensify, the top of the cave becomes increasingly weaker and eventually collapses, allowing the cave to reappear and forming a new landform. The tiankeng group in Guangxi can be called the "World Karst Landform Museum". These huge funnel-shaped depressions are the eternal mark left by the dialogue between water and rock for hundreds of millions of years. The tiankeng is like the deep eyes of the earth, gazing at the vast sky. In addition to the typical karst landform, Guangxi also has many other unique landform features. Among the mountains of Guangxi , there is a three-dimensional painting that has stretched for thousands of years. That is the Longji Rice Terraces. When the morning mist dissipates and the sun shines on the layers of terraces, it is like a The scales on the dragon's back, like fingerprints of the earth, outline a breathtaking and majestic agricultural wonder. The Li River winds like a turquoise ribbon through the rolling peaks . The naturally formed stone patterns on the "Nine Horses Painting Mountain" depict galloping horses. The "Yellow Cloth Reflection" reflects the clear water like a mirror, perfectly replicating the green mountains on both sides. Every turn is a new painting, and every ripple is filled with poetry. The above is the wonderful scenery of Guangxi , all of which are covered in our four Guangxi itineraries. If you are very interested in these karst landforms, I highly recommend this one 👇🏻 Departing from Nanning | 5 days and 4 nights
