🔴We recommend the West Gate, as it has subway access and is easily accessible.🚝 🟠The North Gate is the second best option. Although it doesn't have a subway station, it is close to shopping malls, so you can use ride-sharing services or walk (it's a bit of a distance, so choose carefully). 🏝[West Gate] 1. Enter from the West Gate and exit from the North Gate📝 ①After entering the West Gate, walk through Zhuangjin Square and Tonggu Music Stage, and follow the signs to Youyi Corridor. ②Youyi Corridor (planted with many green plants, including the Baohua Magnolia tree). ③Walk to the ASEAN Friendship Garden (flower exhibitions are often held here). ④After passing through the Friendship Garden, follow the signs to the Guangxi Student Soldier Memorial. There will be a ticket office on the way where you can buy a bus ticket (tickets are one-way only and become invalid after you get off the bus. You need to buy a new ticket for the next ride). ⑤Guanyin Zen Temple (there is an observation deck overlooking Nanning City). ⑥Take the bus to the North Gate. ⑦Walk to the Orchid Garden. ⑧Afterward, follow the signs to the Shade Plant Garden (a popular spot for photos with the green spheres). ⑨After taking photos, return the same way and exit from the North Gate. (Or, if you want to return to the West Gate, you can take the sightseeing bus back to the West Gate). 2. Enter and exit from the West Gate🚶‍♀️ The initial itinerary is the same as above. ①Walk from Guanyin Zen Temple to Huanshan Xiuping (open the navigation and follow the walking route to Huanshan Xiuping, 1 km). ③Walk from Huanshan Xiuping to Buyun Gate (380 m), where you can climb the Longxiang Pagoda to overlook the Yong River. ④After coming down, you can take the bus back to the West Gate. 🗺[North Gate] and [East Gate] Route guidance: It is best to take a taxi directly to the North Gate. If you take the subway, you can only go to Mixc. Although the Mixc station is on a straight line to the North Gate of Qingxiu Mountain, the straight-line distance is 2 km, which is quite a long walk. If you can ride a bike, you can take the subway to Mixc and then scan a shared bike to the North Gate. 🎈Tips: If you want to go to the East Gate, you can only take the mini-train from the North Gate. You can't go directly to the East Gate from the West Gate. You also need to go to the North Gate first and then transfer to the mini-train. 🔴So, if you want to go to the East Gate, you can start from the North Gate. The East Gate is relatively far, with no subway access, and taking a taxi will also be a long ride. However, there are more flowers there, so if you want to go, it is recommended to go from the North Gate. [Main attractions at the East Gate] Mainly various gardens: Leaf Garden, Aquatic Garden, Yellow Bellflower Garden, Rock Garden, Bean Pear Garden, Cherry Blossom Garden, Bamboo Garden, and Plum Garden. [Main attractions at the North Gate] Orchid Garden, Shade Plant Garden, and Sweet Osmanthus Garden

During the Chinese New Year, I went to Nanning with my family. We went to the 5A scenic spot on the first day. Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area is located on the bank of the Yongjiang River in Nanning City. There is a pagoda on the top of the mountain. This place is known as the "Giant Lung of Nanning City." The Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area covers an area of ​​about 11,800 acres, which is a large place where you can have fun for a whole day. This time I mainly went to the orchid garden and the Buddhist temple. The orchid garden has different kinds of plants and the air is very good. The Buddhist temple is said to be very old and very effective. There are shuttle bus/train options within the scenic area, and the bus fare is 5 yuan per trip. 📍Address: Qingxiu Mountain, Nanning

🌳 Qingxiu Mountain in Nanning is a summer resort for family trips! I brought my kids to Guangxi during the summer vacation. The beautiful scenery of Qingxiu Mountain was so fascinating that I couldn’t forget to leave. My route guaranteed that I wouldn’t get sunburned or tired, so I could enjoy a relaxing parent-child time. 🕟 Best time to visit: From 5 to 8 pm, it is not too hot or sunny, and there are few people. 📍Admission advice: Qingxiu Mountain has three gates, and the north gate is more recommended. As soon as you enter the park, you will see the shade-growing botanical garden. The misting moment is extremely romantic. 🌿 Shade Botanical Garden: It is not only beautiful, but also a great place for taking photos, where you can easily take great photos. 🌊 Waterfall Play Area: Suitable for children to play in the water, with safe paths, cool waterfalls, and moon-shaped check-in spots. 🌼 Orchid Garden and Large Lawn: If you walk a little further up the orchid garden, you will see picturesque scenery, but you need to be careful to prevent mosquitoes. The large lawn is a great place to take photos. 🏡 Smurf House: The super cute Smurf house is a favorite of children, and they keep taking photos of it. 🚶 Tour route: Don't take the sightseeing bus, just walk leisurely to meet your needs of taking photos and sightseeing, the tour time is about 3 hours. 🌟 Other recommendations: If your physical strength allows, you can take a sightseeing bus to visit ancient and modern photography spots, temples and other places. 📌 Tips: Bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent to protect yourself and your children. Go there in the evening to avoid the sun and enjoy the coolness.

Qingxiu Mountain is located in the urban area of Nanning, with convenient transportation and direct subway access. It truly deserves its 5A scenic area rating, as every region within is breathtakingly beautiful. We strolled around for six and a half hours and only covered half of the area. We entered from the North Gate, visited the Orchid Garden (where an orchid exhibition was being held), and the Shade Plant Garden, then took the mini train to the Leaf Garden, Aquatic Garden, and Monet Garden. We took the mini train back to the North Gate for lunch. After lunch, we took the mini train to the ASEAN Garden Area, from there we took the scenic area tour bus to Huan Shan Show Ping, and finally took the tour bus to the West Gate.
