Daxing Jiudun Skylight

Daxing Jiudun Skylight

5.2
4.7/5
6 reviews
Daxing Jiudun Skylight is located among the karst peak clusters in Hechi, Guangxi. It is a slanted skylight left behind by the long-term erosion of underground rivers and the subsequent collapse of the roof. Its opening is nearly circular, and it is known by locals as the eye of the earth. The Du'an area is dense with skylights, and the special feature of this group lies in the word overflow: the underground river has abundant water, which overflows from the wellhead all year round, forming a surface stream at the foot of the mountain. One of the sources of the Chengjiang River is located here. The color and depth of the water are the soul of this view: the water in the skylight is transparent with a blue-green hue. When viewed from above on a sunny day, it looks like a gemstone embedded in the green mountains, making it a frequent subject for photography enthusiasts. Beneath the seemingly calm surface, the explored depth has reached over 200 m, making it a significant dive site for cave diving enthusiasts in China. It is known as the underwater Mount Everest, and you can often encounter professional divers who have come specifically with their air tanks. Around noon on sunny days, there is plenty of light, and the water appears exceptionally blue, making it a great time for viewing and photography.Du'an · 28.5km from downtown

Tunbang Tianchuang is a popular spot for water activities within the Du'an underground river skylight cluster. A skylight is an opening that connects an underground river or cave to the surface after the roof collapses, allowing water from the underground river to gush out, first gathering into a clear pool and then winding along the foot of the mountain into a small river. The water here is nearly transparent. Standing on the bank, you can see aquatic plants swaying gently with the current, small fish darting in and out among the plants, and even the patterns on the pebbles are clearly visible. The water originates from an underground river and remains cool even at noon in midsummer. Reaching into the water, you are greeted by a refreshing chill. Surrounded by karst peak clusters, the area features village houses nestled against the mountains and by the water. Every summer, this place becomes a natural, open-air swimming pool. Please note that the pool's depth varies. Shallow areas may only reach your waist, while deep areas are deep enough to submerge your head, so check the depth before entering the water. The water volume also changes significantly with the seasons. It is best for water activities during the rainy season when the river is full, while the water level recedes during the dry season, which may diminish the visual appeal.Du'an · 12.1km from downtown

Guangxi Hongshuihe Du'an Sandaowan International Resort Project is located on the bank of Hongshui River in Xingli Village, Disu Town, with beautiful mountains and waters, and vast waves. The water of Sandaowan is so green all year round, like a jade belt running through the karst peaks and valleys, with green mountains facing each other along the coast and fishermen's songs. Hurry up and start your fairy journey of "boat sailing on the blue waves, people swimming in the painting". The Hongshui River system lingers around the karst peaks and valleys, creating a unique appearance of Sandaowan: the mountains are gradually green, and the water is warm and green. The hardworking Bunu Yao people thrive here, integrating with the world, primitive and natural. Sandaowan Water Park is built by the mountains and rivers. Here we can not only cool off and play, but also feast our eyes on the beautiful mountains and rivers. The planned construction period of the resort is from 2013 to 2020.

Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Spot

4.7/5
27.2k reviews
The Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Spot is located on the upper reaches of the Guichun River along the China-Vietnam border in Guangxi. Here, the boundary river meets a cliff, cascading down in three tiers with a width of over 200 m and a drop of more than 70 m, facing Vietnam's Ban Gioc Waterfall across the cliff. During the rainy season, the two waterfalls nearly merge into one, and their roar can be heard across the valley. This site also served as a filming location for the TV series The Journey of Flower. The highlights of the visit mostly revolve around this border river: after passing through the Detian memorial archway, known as the "transnational gate," you can take a bamboo raft from the shore to the foot of the waterfall, looking up as the curtain of water crashes down from the cliff top, with mist spraying onto your face—effectively "traveling abroad" on the border river. On the river, you'll often encounter Vietnamese locals paddling small bamboo rafts to sell coffee, dried fruit, and other goods, and the haggling adds a fun cross-border market vibe. After disembarking, follow the waterfall-viewing boardwalk and multi-level observation decks to admire the waterfall's full panorama from different heights. Boundary markers No. 53 (erected during the Qing Dynasty and inscribed with "Guangxi, China") and No. 836 are popular photo spots. Along the boardwalk, you'll also find Detian Temple, built by villagers in the 1980s to commemorate the Zhuang historical figure Nong Zhigao—worth a quick visit. The waterfall view varies significantly with water volume: during the summer peak season, the water is torrential and awe-inspiring, while it appears more delicate in the dry season; the bamboo raft dock has long queues in peak season, so it's advisable to arrive early for a close-up view of the waterfall; the rafts get quite misty, so remember to waterproof your phone and camera.China · Daxin

Tunbang Skylight, a 2-hour drive from Nanning, is the perfect choice for a tour around Guangxi! There is a natural underground spring here, the water is cold and clear, and the water quality is so good that there are aquatic plants growing under the water. The homestay, restaurant, paddle board, and life jackets next to Tunbang Skylight are all complete. If you have enough time, you can spend a night next to the skylight and see the fairy-like water mist in the morning.

What was the most beautiful spot on this trip to Du'an? It's the Du'an Yaotai Resort, also known as the Disu Yaotai Resort, located in Xinsu Village, Disu Township, Du'an County, Hechi City, Guangxi. Although the resort is currently closed, parking is free for drivers and only requires a 10-yuan fee.

It was excellent. The signs were clear, the facilities were complete, there were accessible pathways, and it was friendly to people with mobility issues. The restrooms were clean, and the scenery was absolutely stunning during the water-use period! However, the road conditions to the scenic area weren't great. I avoided holidays for a much better experience!

It was not as good as I imagined, probably because it was too hot when I went there, so I didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery. I took a quick tour inside, and there was a big tower, a sleeping Buddha, and many unknown Buddha statues!
