May Day Cities Perfect for a Short Stay
Help! Chongzuo, this hidden gem, is absolutely incredible! Three days exploring the China-Vietnam border, just CNY 500 per person to experience Asia's first transnational waterfall + heavenly flower fields + pastoral scenery, the value is simply unbeatable!
🌈Day 1, head straight to Detian Waterfall. Listen up, ladies, you must take the bamboo raft! Just CNY 30 to experience the waterfall up close, the mist feels super refreshing on your skin, and every casual photo looks amazing. Secret tip: Vietnamese coffee is only CNY 5 per cup, way more aromatic than Starbucks!
🌈Day 2, visit Tongnayuwan, which is literally a real-life Monet garden! If you go between March and May, you can catch the Flower Festival - free entry if you wear Hanfu, how amazing is that? When the boat passes the filming location of "The Journey of Flower," you'll feel like a fairy yourself!
🌈Day 3, go to Mingshi Countryside. CNY 120 for a private bamboo raft is such a great deal! Make sure to wake up early for the cycling path - the morning mist over the rice fields is breathtaking. At night, take a bamboo raft along the Black River, with twinkling lights on both shores, it's so romantic you'll want to fall in love!
⚠️Tips to avoid pitfalls:
👉🏻Remember to make reservations one day in advance! Everything requires real-name registration now
👉🏻Apply three layers of sunscreen! Don't ask how I know
👉🏻Self-driving is most convenient, but the direct shuttle buses to scenic spots are also okay
🍚Food recommendations:
Vietnamese spring rolls are a must! CNY 5 each
Zhuang-style winnowing basket feast, CNY 80 per table, enough for 4 people
Fragrant leaf roasted suckling pig is absolutely divine
Ladies, just go for it! If you go now, you can still catch the Flower Festival activities. Miss it and you'll have to wait a whole year❗️❗️
