Chongzuo: A Hidden Gem on the Border

Hello, Chongzuo! Located in the southwest of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, this city is like a hidden gem on the border, exuding a unique and charming allure. It borders Vietnam to the west, with a long border line. Over the years, it has accumulated a rich exotic atmosphere and profound historical heritage. When you step into Chongzuo, the first thing that catches your eye is the majestic Detian Transnational Waterfall. The waterfall is like a galaxy falling from the sky, with splashing water and roaring waves. Its grandeur makes people marvel at the wonders of nature. On one side is China, and on the other side is Vietnam. The border is drawn between the rushing water, bringing a wonderful transnational experience. Mingshi Pastoral is a tranquil landscape painting. The peaks are beautiful, the rivers are winding, and the fields are scattered. Taking a small boat and drifting slowly on the green waves, it feels like being in a paradise, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the world. The food in Chongzuo is also not to be missed. Sour porridge, with its unique fermented flavor, stimulates the taste buds. It may taste strange at first, but after a few bites, you will be deeply fascinated. There is also roasted pig's eye, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making a "crunch" sound when bitten. It emits a tempting aroma when roasted over charcoal, making it a favorite of brave diners. Travel tips: - Best season: Spring and autumn have the most pleasant climate. In spring (March to May), everything comes back to life, and the pastoral scenery is beautiful. In autumn (September to November), the weather is clear, and the waterfall has a moderate water volume, making it a good time for viewing. Summer is hot and rainy, so sun protection and rain protection measures are needed. Winter is relatively cold, but there are fewer tourists, allowing you to enjoy a quiet travel time. - Transportation: If you are coming from other places, you can first arrive at Nanning Wuxu International Airport, and then take a car or high-speed train to Chongzuo, which takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. The distance between the attractions in Chongzuo is relatively far, so it is recommended to rent a car for self-driving, so that you can arrange your itinerary flexibly and stop to enjoy the scenery along the way. - Accommodation: If you want to experience the charm of the waterfall up close, you can choose hotels or homestays near Detian Waterfall. In the morning and evening, you can avoid the peak of the crowd and quietly appreciate the different features of the waterfall. If you love pastoral scenery, the accommodation around Mingshi Pastoral is a good choice. Fall asleep to the sound of insects and birds, wake up in the fresh air in the morning, and start a pleasant day.
