Jingxi Equan, pastoral home—Guangxi Travel Notes 1

2021 0507

After a delay of 1 hour and 34 minutes, flight CA1777 finally took off and successfully arrived at Nanning Wuxu International Airport at 11:43 after a flight of 2 hours and 45 minutes.

The journey to Guangxi officially begins!

YH Car Rental picked up the reserved 2021 X-Trail SUV, and both Zhima Credit and Zhima Credit waived the deposit. It was really convenient and the car could be returned in another location.

Near the airport, take the G7211 Nanyou Expressway directly, then transfer to Na Expressway to Baise Jingxi.

The route of the S60 Hena Expressway passes through typical karst mountainous areas. Along the way, you can enjoy the strange mountains and rocks unique to karst landforms.

Then transfer to G69 Yinbai Expressway, take the Jingxi exit, and take Provincial Highway 210 to Equan.

After more than 3 hours' drive, we arrived at Equan Scenic Area at 16:30.

Jingxi County is located at 106.42 East Longitude, west of Guangxi, so the sun was still shining as close as 17:00.

Equan is located 5 kilometers southwest of Jingxi County. It is one of the eight famous scenic spots in Jingxi. It has a history of more than 700 years. It is one of the three famous springs in southwest China and the source of the Detian Transnational Waterfall.

Tickets are 48 yuan per person, discounts are available when purchased on the APP but must be made in advance.

Parking is free

The wind and rain bridge at the entrance

Bamboo rafts run by local villagers cost 40 yuan per person to enter the scenic area by boat (you cannot go ashore).

The area of Equan Scenic Area is not large, so you can follow the scenic spot map.

Lotus leaves first turn green in the lotus pond

The bougainvillea trees we usually see are all potted plants. For the first time, we saw a bougainvillea tree with spreading vines over 2 meters high.

The flowers in the flower field have faded, leaving only a solitary hydrangea.

Pavilion, eight comic strips "The Legend of Goose Spring" on the pavilion wall

Surrounded by mountains, the water is as clear as a mirror, geese and ducks are playing in the water, the bananas are first green, and the waterwheels are leisurely. An idyllic scenery unfolds in front of you.

The protagonist of Goose Spring – Goose

There is a saying about the spring of Goose Spring that "carps jump in three waves of Goose Spring".

Aquatic plants and fish are clearly visible

goose-shaped monument

There are two viewing platforms built on the mountain, where you can enjoy the panoramic view from the top.

Let’s fly drones instead of hiking.

If you visit Goose Spring in the morning, you can enter without buying a ticket. Standing on the shore and facing the light is more beautiful than the backlight in the scenic area.

The fifteen-hole bridge is not in the scenic area, but at the entrance of the village.

The newly built highway bridge spans the Equan River and is accessible to vehicles.
