I've been to Jingxi five times and compiled this route.

A must-see checklist before departure 🧳 ✅ Documents: ID card 📄, student ID/senior citizen ID and other discount certificates (you might get a discount~) ✅ Outfit Guide: The temperature in Jingxi in May is comfortable, but the sun is super strong ☀️. Bring cool summer clothes such as short sleeves and shorts 👗. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so remember to bring a thin coat 🧥. Sun protection trio (hat 👒, sunglasses 🕶️, sunscreen 🧴) are essential! ✅ Personal Items: Power bank 🔋, camera 📷, mosquito repellent 🦟, stomach medicine 💊 (the food is so tempting, just in case you eat too much~) ✅ Transportation Gadget: Download a taxi app 🚕 and check the train schedule from Nanning to Jingxi in advance 🚄 Transportation Guide 🚗 🚅 External Transportation: Go to Nanning first! Take a 1.5-hour train from Nanning Station/Nanning East Station to Jingxi 🚝, the ticket price is about CNY 60; self-driving enthusiasts can rush to the "Most Beautiful Highway in China" He'na Expressway 🛣️, which is super healing all the way through the landscape gallery~ 🚌 Intra-city Travel: Buses are available to some attractions 🚌.
