Things to do in Hechi

The scenery is beautiful, the water is green, and the caves are unique, making it worthwhile to take a boat trip! The boat tickets are a bit pricey, the boat trip lasts less than half an hour, and local villagers are allowed to mark their own parking areas and charge 20 yuan per car!

I'd heard about the White Devil Cave before and visited today. I expected it to be cool inside, but it wasn't. Many people were lying on the magnetic ground, which didn't feel very comfortable. Everything else was fine.

Bai Niao Yan Scenic Area is truly a hidden gem nestled amidst mountains and waters. A boat trip through the cave reveals stalactites of various shapes, and the light shimmering on the water is incredibly soothing. The air inside is fresh, and the sounds of birdsong fill the air, making for a relaxing and enjoyable experience, perfect for visitors seeking tranquility.

I went in September. The last boat left at 4:30 PM. The staff said they only let boats depart for groups of eight or more, and although we only had four people, they still let us go – a huge thumbs up! It was like having the boat to ourselves. The round trip was 80 minutes, and the scenery along the way was absolutely stunning. There were natural beauties passing through canyons, as well as idyllic rural landscapes along the way. It rivals the scenery of Guilin and is definitely worth a visit. Take 1-2 hours to explore.

The scenic area is well-designed, clean and tidy, with a reasonable flow of movement. Walking there and taking the bus back are perfectly combined. The cave is beautiful, without any colorful lights. The design is reasonable and aesthetically pleasing.

This cave is quite famous, and it's said that the Earth's magnetic field can cure diseases, which attracts many tourists. Actually, you only visit two caves. The second cave is quite ordinary and requires climbing up and down ladders inside. The highlight is the first cave, where you can sit down, have tea with your parents, and experience the Earth's magnetic field.

Well, the sinkhole is definitely worth seeing, and the cliffside bookstore is beautiful at night when it's lit up. Changsheng Cave is also quite impressive; it's one of the most spectacular karst caves I've seen. Unfortunately, our itinerary was a bit poorly planned. After checking into our guesthouse and having lunch, around 1 PM, we went down to the sinkhole to see the cliffside bookstore instead of taking the mini-train to Changsheng Cave. Climbing back up from the sinkhole was difficult, and the kids didn't want to climb anymore; they wanted to wait until the bookstore lights up and the bonfire party, so we spent the entire afternoon and evening at the sinkhole. The next day, we planned to take the mini-train, but we thought it would leave at 9 AM, when it actually departs at 9:30. We arrived at the train station at 8:30 and didn't want to wait. We opted to walk to Changsheng Cave, and the climb was exhausting!

It's definitely worth visiting. Unlike ordinary caves, the core area is as beautiful as a crystal chandelier—the name is truly fitting. However, there's a persistent problem: someone keeps shouting loudly, and once one starts, everyone else seems to catch it and starts yelling incessantly. It's incredibly noisy, and the staff doesn't seem to care.

if you are looking to unwind from the city life, visit this quaint and beautiful place called the village of longevity. Sit on a rock and watch the waves go by. Read Chinese poetry inside a Pavilion. Drink a cup of ginger, tea and celebrate life, the slow life where are your mind and soul can wander in peace.

The scenic spot is very rich in cultural heritage. The tour guide Sister Chen Ling patiently and meticulously explained the local characteristics such as the longevity of the benevolent and the grain replenishment ceremony. The scenic spot also provides free snacks such as tofu pudding and glutinous rice cakes, and there are bonfire performances in the evening, which is highly recommended!
