This time, I visited the famous Litun Deeds Memorial Hall in Chongzuo, Guangxi. Upon entering the memorial hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the topographic model of Litun, showcasing the full landscape of the area. This place features typical karst landforms, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with towering rocks, steep cliffs, and isolated paths. Following the guide, we entered the Litun Memorial Hall. The vivid historical photos, precious artifacts, and touching stories of carving roads through mountains made it feel like traveling through a time tunnel back to those bustling days. At the Litun Tianmeng Scenic Area, as you walk into the Litun Tunnel, you can see various tools displayed on the tunnel walls at intervals, such as iron shovels, kerosene lamps, and wheelbarrows. These were the tools used by predecessors when excavating the tunnel. In Litun, you can feel the new era Litun spirit of 'self-reliance, daring to think and act, perseverance, and long-term dedication,' and experience the determination of the predecessors who spent time carving through the mountain. It's definitely worth a visit. Detailed address: X506 (Longtian Road), Tuokan Township, Tiandeng County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi

#2024TravelReview If you plan to visit Chongzuo, you may encounter some accommodation problems. Although accommodation downstream is expensive, it is often fully booked. We chose to go upstream and found some nice accommodation options. We found a hotel called Yijingguanlan. From the outside, this hotel looks very grand and there are plenty of parking spaces, so there is no need to worry about parking problems. Price-wise, this hotel is very affordable and great value for money. As for the room, it is not very big, about 28 square meters, but it is generally clean and hygienic, the facilities and equipment are relatively complete, and the decoration and maintenance are also good. The hotel breakfast is served from 7:00 to 10:00 in the morning, with rich variety. I look forward to the delicious breakfast tomorrow morning. In terms of environment, the hotel is very quiet and the furnishings in the room are comfortable. The key is that the price is affordable and the cost performance is high, which is suitable for those who have a limited budget. Detailed address: No. 130-1, Lichuan Road, Chongzuo, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region,

In the exhibition hall on the first floor, you will be dazzled by the exquisite brocade ornaments, bronze ceramics with a rich history, and historical relics of hard struggle. Climb up the stairs and a whole new world will appear before your eyes. In the exhibition hall, a video wall telling the origin of the Zhuang ethnic group's Frost Descent Festival comes into view. Going further in, you can see images with the 24 solar terms as the main content, using audio, pictures, and multi-point projection as the medium. They introduce the time system of the 24 solar terms, the background of the Zhuang Frost Festival, the Zhuang rice-growing culture, etc., allowing people to get a close look at the origin and development of the Zhuang Frost Festival.

#guangxi #mountains #sunset #china #chongzuo #tiandeng In Guangxi’s Tiandeng County you’ll find beautiful countryside with jagged limestone mountains, golden rice fields, and valleys covered in mist. During the day, the mountains look huge and impressive. At sunset, they turn golden under the colorful sky.

Nestled deep within the karst peaks of Chongzuo, Guangxi, lies a geological marvel spanning 120 million years—the "Earth's Dragon Ridge" of Jianlong Mountain. This jagged peak, sculpted from ancient seabed reefs, rises like the dorsal fin of a giant dragon, with its sharp ridges piercing the earth. Interwoven with vertical cliffs and lush vines, it is hailed as the "ultimate textbook of wild southern landscapes." A Geological Wonder, Thrilling at Every Step Scaling to the summit requires both hands and feet to conquer slopes as steep as 70°. Along the way, you may spot Triassic-era shell fossils embedded in the rock crevices, as if touching the pulse of the Earth itself. Standing atop the ridge, a 360° panoramic view reveals a competition of peaks: to the east, the "Sword Pointing to the Sky" stands like an unsheathed blade, while the western slopes feature the "Dragon Scale Canyon," adorned with circular patterns carved by water erosion. At sunset, golden light bathes the landscape, making the entire mountain range appear like flowing lava. A Hidden Sanctuary, Harmonizing Nature and Culture At the foot of the mountain lies the ancient Zhuang village of Longji Tun, where century-old stilted houses are preserved. Villagers brew a refreshing and sweet Longji glutinous rice wine using mountain spring water. On days when the sea of clouds appears, you can stay overnight in a tent on the observation deck, listening to the sound of pine waves at night and gazing at mist-shrouded peaks in the morning, as if transported to a celestial paradise. Come to Jianlong Mountain and measure the grandeur of 120 million years of tectonic movement with your courage. On the Dragon Ridge, share a toast with nature, savoring the magnificence distilled by time.

Everyone, I've discovered a real gem! I recently visited Jianlong Mountain, and the scenery there left me speechless. I have to share it with you all. 🚗 Starting from the city, the journey takes you deeper into nature. As you approach Jianlong Mountain, the rolling green hills unfold like a watercolor painting, making you eager to immerse yourself in its beauty. Upon entering Jianlong Mountain, the fresh scent of vegetation greets you, instantly dispelling the hustle and bustle of the city. Following the winding paths, you'll be surrounded by a dense, primeval forest 🌲. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating golden patches of light, as if you've stepped into a fairy tale. Along the way, a gurgling stream accompanies you, its clear water revealing small fish and shrimp darting among the stones. The most breathtaking moment was reaching the summit. As far as the eye can see, the mountain range stretches out before you, with a sea of clouds swirling in the valleys, as if you could reach out and touch the sky ☁️. The exhilaration of conquering the mountain combined with the magnificent view makes every drop of sweat worthwhile! During the hike, I also met many friendly fellow hikers. We shared the beautiful scenery along the way, encouraged each other, and filled the mountains with laughter. Jianlong Mountain is like a pure land hidden behind the hustle and bustle of the world. Whether you're a hiking enthusiast or just looking for a place to relax and unwind, this place is perfect! Add it to your travel list now 💖

"You've all been fooled by Guilin!" Amidst the fragrant tea, I brandished a breathtaking photo on my phone—a rugged mountain ridge piercing the clouds, like a jade sword pointing towards the heavens. As everyone gasped, I revealed the secret: "This is Chongzuo’s Jianlong Mountain, the true soul of Guangxi's landscapes." While the Li River's reflections, flowing through textbooks, are undeniably graceful, when my hiking boots finally stepped onto the dragon-scale stone steps of Jianlong Mountain, tremors from deep within the Earth's crust surged up my spine. Sixty million years ago, orogenic movements cleaved the seabed reefs into sharp blades, and billions of years of monsoons sculpted the serrated ridges. Each protruding limestone rock shimmered with the cold, hard glint of ancient weaponry. As the climbing rope etched red marks into my palms, I suddenly understood why Xu Xiake described this marvel as "jagged stone teeth, like ten thousand swords piercing the sky." Pausing at the peak of the Dragon's Backbone, I looked back to see clouds swirling around the mountainside like white silk ribbons. The ochre-red rock walls were etched with gullies from rainwater, resembling the mottled scales of a giant dragon. In the distance, the mountain peaks were tinged with varying shades of blue-gray, like a palette overturned by Wang Ximeng—indigo, crab-shell blue, and raven black blended seamlessly, transforming into the millennial spirit of *A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains* amidst the swirling clouds. The mountain wind whispered past my ears, carrying the lingering echoes of bronze drums used by Zhuang ancestors to worship the Dragon God. Trekking towards the clouds along the natural pathway atop the Dragon's Backbone, the exposed rock strata revealed the Earth's annual rings. Trilobite fossils flickered in the crevices, as if narrating how this land transformed from an ancient seabed into a celestial spine. As the setting sun traced its final golden edge on the mountaintop, the entire range suddenly came alive—the floating sea of clouds was its breath, and the whistling mountain wind was the sound of its scales rustling. Only then did I realize that landscapes are not just scenery to be observed, but also a majestic life force that can be felt and touched. Descending, I deliberately detoured to the Tuo Niang River at the foot of the mountain. The clear water reflected the sharp silhouette of Jianlong Mountain. The boatman's bamboo pole rippled the surface, startling egrets that flew across the ink-painting-like peaks. This oasis nestled on the Tropic of Cancer, with its sharpest ridges and gentlest river, embodies Guangxi's philosophy of landscapes that are both strong and gentle. If Guilin is a meticulous portrait of a court lady, Jianlong Mountain is a bold, freehand painting—the former teaches you to appreciate, the latter compels you to surrender.

This little place is so beautiful! I must let you know‼ ️ 📍Detailed address: Jianlong Mountain is located in Chongzuo City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. 🚗Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself or in a group. It takes about 3 hours to drive from Nanning. You can also take public transportation to Chongzuo and then transfer to local transportation. 🈯🈯Route recommendation 🔸Route: The hiking route is about 5 kilometers in total, with a gentle climb, which is more suitable for beginners. Along the way, you will pass by Jianlong Cave, Tiankeng, underground river, rock painting area, observation deck, etc. 🔸Difficulty: The difficulty is relatively low, but you still need to be fully prepared. ✅✅Equipment and item recommendations: 1️⃣Essential equipment: lightweight backpack, trekking poles, non-slip hiking shoes, hat, sun protection clothing, rain gear, etc. 2️⃣Recommended items: water, snacks, sunscreen, power bank, camera, a small amount of cash, gloves (for holding onto rocks during climbing), mosquito repellent, common items such as Band-Aids, etc. ✅✅Travel tips: 1⃣️Be sure to wear non-slip shoes! ! ! Especially on rainy days, many mud roads and sand roads there are very slippery! 2⃣️Bring labor gloves. Some roads may require you to use your hands and feet together, so it will be much better to bring gloves😲～ 3⃣️Bring trekking poles to help you climb. I wear a windbreaker not for anything else but to take pictures! Super cool! ! 4⃣️Be sure to bring some food and water~ There are no supply stations on the mountain! 5⃣️Go to the toilet at the parking spot in advance, there is no toilet on the mountain~ 6⃣️It is recommended to go down the mountain early, and it is not recommended to climb at night. Safety first! !

🏔️If you just want to experience a simple hike, take some photos, and enjoy the beautiful scenery, then two and a half hours will be enough for going up and down the mountain! But I have to warn you that the slope of this mountain is quite steep. There is almost no place to sit down and rest on the ridge, and there are few trees to provide shade. If you want to find a place to cool off, you have to go down halfway up the mountain. 🌞In summer, Jianlong Mountain is extremely beautiful! Green mountains, clear water and blue sky, it is simply a paradise on earth! However, the temperature in Guangxi in summer is not low, and 36 or 37 degrees is common. Therefore, be sure to assess your physical fitness before going, and prepare heatstroke medicine, plenty of water and snacks! 🚗🚶Our itinerary was as follows: we set off from Nanning at 9 am and drove 224 kilometers, charging and eating in the middle. The scenery along the way was nice. We arrived at the foot of the mountain at about 1pm and prepared to start climbing. You can reach the ridge at 2 o'clock, and that's the most beautiful place! After enjoying the beautiful scenery, we started to go down the mountain at 3 pm and arrived under the big tree near the foot of the mountain to enjoy the cool air at 3:30 pm. 🧗‍♂️Speaking of difficulty, there are occasional ropes to assist in going up and down the mountain, but most of the time you still have to rely on your own hands and feet. A special reminder here is to be sure to bring trekking poles! ! ! As more and more people climb Jianlong Mountain, there is no vegetation on the road anymore. It is all dry loess and sand, and is very slippery. Everyone must be careful, careful and careful! Hiking in Jianlong Mountain is a good choice, but you must be fully prepared! I hope everyone can have a pleasant hiking experience! 🌟🌲🌈

Guangxi's rainy season is finally over The next period will be the most beautiful period of Jianlong Mountain The green rolling hills and the rippling blue waves under the blue sky and white clouds require no filters, the original picture is beautiful as it is!
