2021 0508

Depart from the hotel and go to Jiuzhou Ancient Town.

Signboard at the intersection of G212 National Road – Guangxi Bianhai National Scenic Road.

Cross the Hena Expressway under the viaduct pier, and fly a drone at the intersection to take pictures of the intersection of the Hena Expressway and Yinbai Expressway.

Among the peaks of the Kanas landform, two highways break through the peaks like giant dragons, rushing into the distance...

Not far away is Jiuzhou Ancient Town.

The ancient city of Jiuzhou was officially established as a state in 808 AD (the third year of Yuanhe in the Tang Dynasty) and named Guishun Prefecture. It has always been an important political portal, economic and trade hub, cultural center and military fortress on the Sino-Vietnamese border. It is also famous for the production of traditional handicrafts - embroidered balls. It is world-famous and known as the "Hometown of Hydrangea in China".

Tickets are 48 yuan per person. Before coming, read the introduction. It is also a newly built ancient town. I cherish my money and only check in at the gate.

The BD map accurately leads into the village from the approach road of S216 Provincial Road, and navigates from the rows of houses to the front of Wenchang Tower.

Wenchang Pavilion was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The pavilion was built on a small island in the Equan River. It is a four-corner three-story ancient pavilion. It faces east and west. The height of the pavilion is about 15 meters, and the bottom area of the pavilion is about 16 square meters. , there are round windows on the second and third floors, allowing visitors to overlook the surrounding pastoral scenery.

The Jiuzhou-Huadong section of S216 Provincial Highway is picturesque along the way.

The water channel across the road adds to the beauty of the painting.

In front of Aibu Village Primary School (under the traffic violation shooting pole), a cement road only accessible to bicycles leads to Aibu Waterfall.

Fortunately, the road is not long, and after a few minutes of crossing the bridge, you can hear the roar of the waterfall.

The aerial bridges and bamboo pad bridges mentioned on the Internet have been built into flat cement bridge decks, winding all the way to the waterfall.

After the confluence of the Longtan River and the Equan River, it became the largest river in Jingxi. Due to the changeable terrain, large terrain differences, and many shoals, many large and small waterfall groups were formed along the river in the Aibu area. The highest waterfall is 42 meters. , the maximum width is 50 meters.

The water volume of the waterfalls is moderate, the water flow is clear and transparent, and the sound is like a thunder drum.

A white car, two tourists, a three-story waterfall, beautiful scenery all around, stretched out,

The six roots are quiet, the seven orifices are psychic, the eight sides are majestic, and the nine transformations are successful, I am very satisfied.

Turning back from Aibu Waterfall, the navigation guide led to the entrance of Huadong Expressway based on the principle of speed.

It was my first time to undergo border security inspection, and there were more than a dozen security inspections on the provincial highway.

The roads along the border are very safe.

Take the psychic exit and get off the highway.

The bifurcation of the Chingling Grand Canyon and the Gulongshan Grand Canyon.

There are dozens of farmhouses in Xinling Village in front of the canyon. After lunch, we entered the Grand Canyon Scenic Area.

The Tongling Grand Canyon is about 3800 meters long, 200 meters wide and 300 meters deep. It is connected by Tongling Gorge, Nianba Gorge and underground rivers and tunnels.

In the canyon, there is a waterfall with a height of 188 meters, which is the highest single-level waterfall in Asia - Tongling Waterfall, a variety of rare ancient plants, wonderfully shaped stalactites and underground springs.

Tickets are 115 yuan/person

All the way down, down...

The scenic spots passed down and said to be along the way.

The Psychic Treasure Cave is 100 meters high and 60 meters wide.

After exiting the cave, there is a primeval forest that blocks out the sky and sun.

The temperature at noon was 32°C. Walking in the canyon did not feel cool, but rather muggy.

The plant kingdom, the place where strong medicines are researched.

Following the sound of water, I looked for it and suddenly raised my head, "I think it's the Milky Way falling into the sky."

Tongling Waterfall is 188.6 meters high, 30 meters wide, and flows straight down.

Walk into the cave along the path to the left of the waterfall and experience the waterfall up close.

Go around the cave, exit the cave from the other side, and return to the waterfall.

On the way back, walk up the mountain path towards Nianba Gorge.

Mysterious cliff coffin cave burial

Due to epidemic prevention and control, the folk performance venue in Nianbaxia is closed.

It takes more than 2 hours to complete the entire tour of the Psychic Grand Canyon.

There is a 10 yuan ticket at the exit, and the bus will take you to the parking lot.

After exiting the Tongling Grand Canyon, take the G359 National Highway. Ten minutes later, you will see a simple parking lot on the roadside, where is the Sandieling Falls.

The trail up the mountain is very narrow and can only accommodate two people walking the wrong way. It is also slippery, so you need to be very careful.

Sandieling Waterfall is located in Xinling Village, Hurun Town, Jingxi. It is named after its location in Sandieling. The waterfall is more than 100 meters high and about 30 meters wide. It is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Jingxi.

The water flow is not very big, and the mountains and forests are still beautiful.

The Hena Expressway in the front is at the same height as the waterfall viewing point. It is indeed the most beautiful expressway.

A tourist accidentally fell down in front of the waterfall and was unable to move. The local police and 120 medical staff also went to the mountain to organize personnel to carry him down the mountain for treatment.
