Bamei was a tough trip, sisters who want to go should think twice.

In our busy lives, we are always searching for a place where our souls can find rest. In March, when the spring breeze blows gently and the earth awakens, there is a place that seems to be a fairyland forgotten by time, waiting for us to explore—Bamei. Here, not only can you find the breathtaking scenery of "Peach Blossom Spring" described by Tao Yuanming, but also unique folk customs, making it a spring trip to cleanse the soul. Today, follow this comprehensive guide and step into the spring of Bamei🌱 📍 Location: Bamei Village is located at the junction of Bada Township and Ake Township in the north of Guangnan County, Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is hidden among the valleys and can only be accessed through a deep and secluded water cave, as if it were a pure land isolated from the world. 📌 Introduction: Bamei, meaning "cave entrance in the forest," is a village inhabited by the Zhuang people. Surrounded by mountains, with streams murmuring and ancient waterwheels creaking, farmers busy working in the fields, it presents a leisurely idyllic picture. March is springtime, and the peach blossoms and rapeseed flowers bloom freely all over the mountains and plains, decorating Bamei like a poem or a painting. 🌟 Spring Attractions 🎈 Explore the Caves by Boat: The first thing to experience when entering Bamei is taking a small boat through the dark cave. On the swaying boat, listen to the murmuring water and feel the unknown mystery. As the light at the cave entrance gradually expands, the surprise of suddenly opening up hits you instantly, as if you have traveled to another world. 🌼 Stroll Through the Fields of Flowers: Bamei in March is a sea of flowers. Golden rapeseed flower fields intertwine with pink peach blossoms. Walking along the ridges, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, and you can see bees and butterflies busy among the flowers, enjoying the romance and comfort of spring. 🥁 Participate in Zhuang Folk Activities: Bamei is inhabited by hospitable Zhuang people. In March, you can participate in their traditional folk activities. For example, dance the bamboo dance with the villagers and feel the unique charm of Zhuang culture in the cheerful rhythm; or taste authentic Zhuang cuisine, such as five-color glutinous rice and flower rice, to give your taste buds a spring feast. 🌳 Explore the Ancient Village: Walk along the stone road into the ancient village, and the scattered Zhuang houses come into view. Most of the houses here maintain their original appearance, with wooden structures and gray tile roofs, full of ancient charm. Visit the villagers' homes, listen to them tell the ancient stories of Bamei, and feel the tranquility precipitated by time. 🚶‍♂️ Climb the Mountain for a Panoramic View: The mountains around Bamei are not high, but they offer excellent viewing experiences. Climb to the top of the mountain and overlook the entire Bamei. The village is surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, with smoke curling up from the kitchens, presenting a scene of a paradise. Every photo you take will be a masterpiece. ✨ Recommended Highlights 🎯 Taoyuan Cave: This is the only way to enter Bamei and is also a landmark attraction. The stalactites in the cave are in various shapes and forms, and they look dreamlike under the light. Traveling through it by boat is like traveling through a time tunnel, making people full of expectations for the "Peach Blossom Spring" they are about to arrive at. 🎯 Tangna Cave: Opposite to Taoyuan Cave, it is the exit of Bamei. Outside the cave is also a pastoral scenery. In March, the rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, and the view from the cave entrance is breathtaking. Here, you can also see the leisurely life of the villagers and feel the purest rural atmosphere. 🎯 Peach Blossom Island: As the name suggests, the island is full of peach trees. In March, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the entire island is surrounded by a pink sea of flowers, like a fairyland on earth. Walking on the island is like being in a poetic picture of "faces and peach blossoms reflecting red," making it an excellent place for taking photos. 🎯 Zhuang Cultural Street: This street showcases the traditional culture and folk customs of the Zhuang people. There are many shops selling Zhuang handicrafts and special snacks on both sides of the street. You can choose some souvenirs here, taste authentic food, and learn more about Zhuang culture. ❗ Precautions 🚢 Boat Safety: When taking a small boat through the cave, be sure to follow the boatman's instructions and wear a life jacket. The light inside the cave is dim, so do not stand up or play around at will to ensure your own safety. ☀ Sun Protection and Mosquito Repellent: The sun in Bamei in March is already quite strong, so take sun protection measures, such as bringing sunscreen, sun hats, and sunglasses. At the same time, there are many mosquitoes in spring, so remember to bring mosquito repellent to avoid being bitten. 🍚 Respect Local Customs: Bamei is inhabited by the Zhuang people, so respect local customs. For example, when participating in folk activities, follow the rules of the activities; when entering villagers' homes, be polite and do not touch other people's belongings at will. 📅 Best Time to Visit: March is one of the most beautiful seasons in Bamei, but avoid peak periods during holidays to prevent too many tourists from affecting the travel experience. You can choose to visit on a working day to enjoy a more tranquil paradise. 💡 Transportation: If you choose public transportation, you can first arrive at Guangnan County and then take a bus from Guangnan Bus Station to Bamei. If you are driving by yourself, plan the route in advance and pay attention to the road conditions in the mountains. I hope this guide can help you embark on an unforgettable spring trip to Bamei and leave beautiful memories in this real-life "Peach Blossom Spring"💕
