Liuzhou | Besides Luosifen, There Are Many Beauties Here

In March 2022, although the epidemic suddenly 'blossomed everywhere', I still wanted to spend more time traveling. After all, Dabao was about to enter first grade, and after that, we could only travel during winter and summer breaks.

For transportation, we self-drove throughout Liuzhou. Before departure, we booked a car from Mouhai. After landing in Liuzhou, we picked up the car directly; Mouhai's store is right in the airport parking lot. Over the years, we've gotten used to renting from Mouhai when traveling with kids—convenient, hassle-free, and with good service.

In addition, we brought alcohol wipes. After landing in Liuzhou, we also bought alcohol spray. The first thing we did at the hotel was spray alcohol everywhere, even wiping the door handles with alcohol wipes.

In March, Liuzhou’s weather had already warmed up. Basically, a thicker sweater was enough. At night, we might add an extra coat at most.

On the first day, we went to Luzhai. Luming Valley and Xiangqiao Lava Geological Park there were both beautiful.

On the second day, we visited Luoman Market and Shimen Xianhu (Stone Gate Fairy Lake).

On the third day, we went to Chengyang Bazhai and Buyang Xianren Mountain Scenic Area.

On the fourth day, we explored Danzhou Ancient Town.

When we landed in Liuzhou, it was still early. After picking up the car, we drove directly to Luzhai. I personally think that southern cities are wonderful no matter when you visit. For instance, Luzhai in March was lush and green everywhere.

We first went to Zhongdu Ancient Town. Having visited several ancient towns before, I felt this one was average—nothing special. On the contrary, I really liked the Ximei Mountain opposite. We even climbed up the mountain to overlook the scenery here.

Climbing to the top of the mountain, we got a view of the ancient town. The most beautiful thing was that the entire village was surrounded by water, looking especially lovely.

Looking further into the distant, continuous mountain ranges, they were hazy and indistinct, not fully visible. I absolutely love the mountains, waters, flowers, and trees of Liuzhou. Probably because I've lived on the plains for too long, seeing such picturesque scenery makes my heart race.

I told my husband, 'When I get old, I must buy a house here somehow. Watching the mountains and waters every day would put me in a different mood.'

At Zhongdu Market, a few aunties ran stalls selling various rice noodles, meat patties, and the like. We bought some, and the taste was great. In particular, the chaihuo noodles (firewood rice noodles) in the picture above were delicious.

Next, we went to Luzhai Xiangqiao. This was a place I had been looking forward to when doing my research.

From the pictures, the scenery looked wonderful. This Xiangqiao Bridge is naturally formed, very beautiful. The water rushed swiftly under the bridge, splashing up a spray of droplets, which was especially pretty.

Standing aside, we looked into the distant mountain ranges, now very clear. The beautiful scenery of Guangxi, with continuous mountains everywhere, was incredibly stunning.

After leaving here, we immediately went to Luming Valley. There were relatively few deer inside. My daughter really liked them; she even fed some plants to the deer. Moreover, the deer here were very friendly. Later, when sorting through photos, I realized I had taken almost no landscape shots—I was mostly photographing my daughter.

Day 2: Luoman Town

On the second day after waking up, we didn't even have breakfast and drove straight to Luoman Town. Why? Because of the famous shuiyoudui (oil-braised pastry). Watching them tumble in the pan and come out as delicious treats was fascinating. However, these are high in calories. As someone trying to lose weight, I dared not eat too many. After eating, we went to a large field of rapeseed flowers. The rapeseed flowers were in full bloom, and the air was filled with their fragrance.

My daughter took many photos in the rapeseed field. In the distance, small children were helping their parents with work. For kids, this is also an extremely wonderful childhood.

The children here either played in the water or in the fields—it felt very rustic. A few kids were fishing by the river. I was nervous, worrying that they might fall into the water.

After passing through this area, we continued on to Rong'an Shimen Xianhu.

Viewing this scenic area from above, it resembled the 'Flying Daggers' scene from Wulong Tiankeng. There were a few small houses among the peaks, giving off the vibe of ancient inns.

I feel that mountain scenic areas in China share a common feature: they always have a glass walkway. This place was no exception. Inside the scenic area, there was a cave that was very dim. Below was a stream. Although the water was shallow, it still made for an attractive spot.

After passing through the small cave, we continued exploring. Upon coming out, it felt like we had entered another world.

After leaving Shimen Xianhu, we went to Sanjiang. There is a Dongxiang National Hotel there, where we stayed. We booked a river-view room. Opposite was the Wind and Rain Bridge. The night view was absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, due to the epidemic, we couldn't soak in the hotel's hot springs.

Luckily, we could at least enjoy the beautiful night view here. There were also several restaurants nearby, so food was definitely not an issue.

Waking up in the morning, we looked out the window at the scenery—it was gorgeous. Naturally, we wanted to spend more time enjoying Sanjiang's Chengyang Bazhai. Compared to the bustling city center of Liuzhou, this place felt more slow-paced.

In the morning, we had a simple breakfast, then our family took a walk on the nearby road. The cool breeze was very comfortable, not cold at all. Small flowers were blooming along the road. Although it was still winter in the north, the spring vibe here was already evident.

Sanjiang Chengyang Bazhai is also a beautiful scenic area. The architecture inside is interesting—almost all wooden structures. The houses were not tall, and due to the terrain, they were built at varying heights, uneven. All the houses were nestled among trees, lush and green. This is what I call a small, peaceful life. Seeing this, I again felt that I must somehow buy a house here, haha.

The scenery was wonderful everywhere in the village. After playing here for a while, we continued on to Sanjiang Buyang Xianren Mountain. The top of Buyang Xianren Mountain was fantastic—a large tea plantation. It was my daughter's first time seeing tea trees. We also saw a few tea farmers pruning the trees. Some of the tea we often drink might be produced here.
