#bicycletour #guangxi Guangxi Quyang Lake is located in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and is a picturesque artificial lake. The water source of Quyang Lake comes from the surrounding mountains and rivers. The lake water is crystal clear and surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. It is an ideal leisure and vacation destination. The scenery of Quyang Lake is breathtaking. The lake surface is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and the surrounding mountains. There are dense woods and green meadows by the lake, making people feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. Sometimes you can even see farmers dragging their cows past, which is a completely rural feel. There are many routes suitable for cycling enthusiasts around Quyang Lake. Here are some recommended routes: Lakeside Route: This route is about 20 kilometers long and circles the entire Quyang Lake. The road surface is flat and suitable for beginners and family tourists. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains along the way, and it is a very popular route. Forest Adventure Route: This route is about 15 kilometers long and passes through the forest area near the lake. The road surface is relatively rugged and suitable for cyclists who like challenges. You can see various wild animals and plants along the way, which is a good opportunity to get close to nature.

If you plan to tour around Quyang Lake, it takes about four hours by bicycle, so hiking is not recommended. Visitors who prefer self-driving or renting a car can drive around the lake, but be cautious as the roads are quite narrow. Alternatively, visitors can choose to take a sightseeing boat tour, which takes about two hours. We arrived at Quyang Lake at 3 PM and chose to cycle around the lake. The bike rental fee is $30 for 2 hours, and $10 for each additional hour, with the latest return time at 6 PM. Quyang Lake is surrounded by rolling hills of varying heights, offering picturesque scenery along the way. You can capture beautiful photos from different angles, just like a landscape painting. Along the way, you can see many villagers herding livestock, some grazing cattle, and others herding ducks, enjoying a leisurely life. The best spot to watch the sunset at Quyang Lake is near the dam at the entrance. We managed to return the bikes to the visitor center by 6 PM and waited at the dam for the sunset. Although the clouds obscured most of the sun that day, rays of sunlight still pierced through the clouds, creating a stunning 'Jesus light' effect.

Getting There - The place is not of easy access, we hired a driver🚗 and came from Nanning by car, it took around 4 hours but including a stop or around 2 hours in another destination where we had the chance to see the spring goose and rice fields. Attractions - just take a boat ⛵️and enjoy a ride of a little over or one hour around the lake surround by beautiful mountains everywhere. The best part is that seems to not be very well know yet, therefore we were the only ones in the boat, it felt like a private tour only for us ! 😎 Hotels - we did not stay here, but seems there are some hotels in the lake, anyway I would recommend to go and sleep somewhere else, probably the driver can suggest some good option. Food & Restaurants - there are not many options so the best is to bring your own or eat before/after the visit. #summervacation #naturewonders #naturelover #lakes

Quyang Lake is like a quietly opened eye of the earth, serene and profound. The lake water resembles flowing emerald green jade (metaphor). When a gentle breeze passes, the ripples on the surface resemble fine wrinkles etched by time. Along the lakeshore, aquatic plants sway gracefully, as if adorning the lake's skirt (personification). At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight fall, Quyang Lake awakens, shrouded in morning mist like a thin veil, adding a touch of mystery. In the evening, the golden hues of the setting sun dye the lake water, as if it were nature's most proud masterpiece. At Quyang Lake, you can feel time slowing down.

May Day Kunming-Guangxi Small-Group Tour Guide Released: Jingxi Chapter 2 Baise-Jingxi Bus-1.5 Hours Travel The fare from Baise Chengdong Bus Station to Jingxi Jingyu Bus Station is 40 yuan per person. You can buy tickets online on WeChat "Chicheng Travel", set your hotel and other specific locations, and they will also provide door-to-door pick-up and drop-off services. If you want to drive yourself, you can choose the "most beautiful highway in China" Hena Expressway, which is about 150 kilometers, takes 2 hours, and costs about 65 yuan. There are continuous karst peaks all the way. Jingxi Tour Jingxi is the second stop of Guangxi's niche tourist route. It has many attractions, including Quyang Lake, Gulongshan Grand Canyon, etc. It is recommended to visit for 2-3 days. We only chose Quyang Lake because of the weather, but Quyang Lake did not disappoint us, instead it amazed us! To go from Jingxi to Quyang Lake, you can take a bus at the bus station and tell the driver to go to Quyang Lake. The driver will remind you when you arrive at the station. You need to scan the code on the bus and pay 14 yuan per person. The journey is about 30 kilometers and takes 1 hour. The last return bus is at about 4 o'clock. Tell the driver your phone number and contact him in advance. After getting off the bus, there is a dam on the right. You can take a boat tour on the lake with the villagers, or take a motorcycle taxi to the Yiqishan Observation Deck for 5 yuan. We took the villagers' boat, which cost 50 yuan per person (negotiable, if you tell us in advance that you want to go to the observation deck). There were not many people, so we had the boat to ourselves. After touring the lake, we went to the observation deck area on the other side, and the boat was waiting on the shore. There is no entrance fee to the observation deck, but a garbage management fee of 10 yuan is charged. If you drive to the Qishan Observation Deck in Quyangyi, a parking fee of 10 yuan is charged. The observation deck is at the top of the mountain. It has stair railings and can be reached in more than ten minutes. You can overlook the panoramic view of Quyang Lake and the surrounding karst peaks. Gazing from a high place, Quyang Lake looks like emerald inlaid on the earth. The lake water is clear and sparkling. The surrounding peaks and forests are of various shapes, and the scenery of lakes and mountains complement each other, forming a landscape painting. Occasionally, a cruise ship passes by, and the ripples it creates are like a paintbrush touching the paper. After the tour, return to Jingxi city. Note: Be careful when playing near the water, wear a life jacket when on a boat, and bring a coat to prevent catching a cold. Jingxi Food Jingxi rice noodle rolls are 3 dollars each, which is different from Baise. Baise's rice noodle rolls are eaten directly like Yunnan's roasted rice balls, while Jingxi's rice noodle rolls are put in a bowl with soup and seasonings, just like rice noodles. They taste good in street shop. There are also snacks such as rice dumplings, fried pancakes, and locust flower powder. In the afternoon, I had Roast Chicken at Chengxi Hotel. The restaurant is simple, like a home-style restaurant that locals love to go to. I ordered half a roast chicken, sweet and sour horse meat, and clam and vegetable soup for a total of 132 dollars, which is a reasonable price. All three dishes were made with fresh ingredients and delicious taste. The roasted chicken had an attractive color, crispy skin and juicy chicken, which was unforgettable. After dinner, we went to Jinxiu Ancient Town to digest the food. It is similar to most commercial ancient towns in Yunnan and does not have much special features. Accommodation Recommendations Yaster Hotel (Jingxi Station Branch) costs 156 yuan and is a chain hotel in Guangxi with affordable prices and good environment. Jingxi is worth a special trip again. Say goodbye to Jingxi and head to the next stop, Chongzuo Daxin. Quyang Baqi Mountain Scenic Area

When choosing the next stop for Detian Waterfall, I decided between Haokun Lake and Quyang Lake, which are both in the Baise area. Finally, because I chose Equan Village in Jingxi, I naturally went to Quyang Lake. Another main reason is that Jingxi has a train to Nanning, the next travel destination. Quyang Lake is a large karst plateau lake reservoir, while Haokun Lake is a naturally formed landscape of the mountainous landforms of Guangxi. In Lingyun County, Baise Region, there is currently no train connection. Sisters who travel by car can choose to go there, which will be helpful to us all the way. For those who rely on high-speed trains to solve major transportation channels, convenient and fast travel is the first choice😯. It takes about 40 to 50 minutes to drive from Jingxi County to Quyang Lake. Charter a car or drive directly to the Baqi Observation Deck. There are not many tourists. Most of the people who go there are locals who like mountain climbing. You must climb to the highest level of the viewing platform to have a panoramic view of Quyang Lake. We set off from Didi Taxi in Jingxi County at 16:00 in the afternoon and arrived before 17:00. The light is the softest before sunset. when.

✨Quyang Lake is known as the 'Sea in the Mountains,' somewhat similar to Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. It is less than 30 kilometers away from the urban area of Jingxi City.

Jingxi Quyang Lake is so worth visiting. The scenery of Quyang Lake is really beautiful, and it's definitely worth a visit. When traveling to Jingxi, Quyang Lake is a must-see spot. The attraction is free, and it's not crowded. Moreover, during the rainy season, the lake water remains clear and unaffected by the rain, and the villagers say that the water is always green. Quyang Lake is quite large, and the common ways to enjoy it are either by driving around the lake or taking a scenic boat from the visitor center. However, driving around the lake takes quite a long time. If you want to save time and see the most beautiful scenery, you can skip the visitor center and navigate directly to Baqi Tun. Climb up to the Baqi Tun viewing platform to overlook Quyang Lake. After coming down from the viewing platform, take a boat tour of the lake, and then you can head back. P Navigation: Baqi Viewing Pavilion Located in Baqi Tun, this village is not much developed, there are no homestays, but there is a village history museum where you can sit and rest. The scenery here is very good, and the viewing platform is very photogenic. P Parking: There is a small parking lot in Baqi Tun, and parking is free. wG Toilet: As soon as you enter Baqi Tun, there is a public toilet on the right-hand side. Viewing Platform: A little further from the parking lot, you can see the stairs. The stairs are quite shaky, and it takes about 15 minutes to climb up, with pavilions along the way to rest. The location of these stairs is excellent, as you can enjoy the view all the way up, with the scenery changing at every step, which is very photogenic. The view from the top of the mountain is even more open, and it is said that the scenery is better in the morning and evening. I came at noon, with the big sun and nice clouds, but the light was quite flat. The light would be more beautiful in the morning and evening. Boat Tour: Next to the parking lot is the boat dock, which is operated by the villagers. The price is much cheaper than the scenic area's boats, costing a total of 80 yuan for four people to charter a boat. You can also choose to take a short or long loop, with the short loop taking half an hour and the long loop one hour. We were short on time, so we took a short loop. After climbing the viewing platform, it was nice to sit on the boat, enjoy the breeze, and rest. I highly recommend taking a boat tour. The villagers' boats are open on all sides with railings and a roof for shade. The view from the villagers' boat is more open, whether for taking photos or enjoying the lake and mountains. As for the scenic area's boats, they cost 68 yuan per person, and the boarding point is not in Baqi Tun but at the Quyang Lake Visitor Center. The scenic area's boats are slightly enclosed with glass on all sides, and the experience of enjoying the lake view is not as good as the boats in Baqi Tun. Around the Lake Self-Driving: If you want to drive around the lake, there is a section on the north side that is not very good. Starting from Baqi Tun, after reaching Dongfeng Tun, the road becomes very narrow with very few passing points. However, it is not a one-way road; some people drive around the lake clockwise, others counterclockwise. When cars meet, they have to see who is closer to the last passing point and that person has to reverse. Reversing on a narrow road is a real test of driving skills. The road on the south side is much wider, allowing two-way traffic. Eating: We ate at the Quyang Lake Restaurant, located in Quyang Town. There is a wide variety of dishes, the bitter melon omelet is delicious, but the taste of other dishes is average. The main attraction is the beautiful scenery, as it's a lakeside restaurant.

The lake light and the autumn moon are in harmony; the pond surface is calm and the mirror is unpolished. Looking at the scenery of Dongting Lake from afar, there is a green snail in the silver plate. Liu Yuxi's "Looking at Dongting Lake" is actually a very appropriate description of Quyang Lake. 【Quyang Lake】 Alias: Bameng Reservoir. It is the second largest artificial lake in Baise. The lake is full of beautiful peaks like a forest, the water surface is misty, there are swaying green bamboos on the shore, and smoke from cooking fires.

Quyang Lake is a large karst plateau lake, 15 km long and about 30 km around the lake. The lake water is blue, with 12 large and small islands and mountains in the distance. It is almost undeveloped and very niche, but it is not inferior to popular attractions such as Yangshuo in Guilin and Erhai Lake in Dali. It is a good place to avoid the crowds! Ways to play: drive around the lake + climb to see the distant view + take a boat trip 🚘Driving around the lake: 👏🏻Starting point of the lake: Quyang Lake Hotel Lake Route: Quyang Lake Hotel - Baqi Village - Dongfeng Village - Quyang Old Street - Qulei Datun - Xinli Village - Maxin Line - Township Road - Pogu Motor Camp - Huaishu Village - Bama Village - Quyang Lake Hotel 🔭Climb high and look far: Baqi Mountain: Located near Baqi Village on the right side of Quyang Lake, it takes about 15 minutes to climb.

✅A niche travel destination, Quyang Lake in Guangxi | A journey of healing and emo😸 🫰🏻My dears, today I want to take you to a beautiful place - Quyang Lake in Guangxi. 👍🏻Here, there is an intoxicating natural scenery. The lake water is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the color of the sky. The trees by the lake are lush and green, as if telling the story of nature. The mountains are undulating, like an ink painting. Here, you can let go of your fatigue and stress and enjoy the rare tranquility. ~ But sometimes, I also feel a little emo. Watching the boats on the lake go farther and farther away, my heart can't help but surge. A faint sense of melancholy 🥺... It seems as if time has slowed down here, reminding me of the past. However, it is this complex emotion that makes Quyang Lake even more charming. 🌈Detailed guide: 🗺️Address: Quyang Town, Jingxi City, Guangxi. ⏰Open: All day, now is the dry season, camping is allowed. 🎫Tickets: No tickets are required. Tickets are available for purchase at the tourist center, but most people don't go there. The main way is to drive around the lake by yourself, passing through some villages. There will be some boat rides on the lakeside. The farmers' bamboo raft boats are divided into large and small circles. The small circle is 20 yuan/40 minutes, and the large circle is 30 yuan/60 minutes. The chartered boat costs 160 yuan and can seat about 10 people. It is very cost-effective. 🚘Travel: Drive to Quyang Lake Visitor Center, the lake is right next to the town. Get off at Baise High-speed Railway Station, then take a bus to Jingxi Bus Station, and then charter a car to go there after arriving in Jingxi. It is recommended to charter a car as it is almost impossible to get a taxi during non-holidays. 🏠Accommodation: You can stay in Jingxi County, where there are many special B&Bs to choose from... ✅Travel: After arriving at Quyang Town, navigate to the "Baima" village on the left, and then walk about 200 meters forward to reach a small viewing platform. There is a plank road on the side of the road, about 50 meters up. Go further in and navigate to "Pogu", where you can grill and sit. The boat goes in a big circle. Go back to the original route and start taking the right route. The navigation on the right route is "Baqitun", where you can climb mountains and view the lake~ 📸Camping location: Bama Observation Deck, Baqitun Observation Deck. 🍱Food: Taste local specialties, such as sour wild vegetables, etc. 📣Activities: Boat trip to see the lake, fishing, hiking, etc. ⚠️Notes: ❶ Pay attention to sun protection and keep warm ❷ Comply with local regulations and customs ❸ Bring enough water and food ❹Be careful and don’t go into the water casually.
