Mingshi Pastoral Hidden Photo Spots

Stealing a half-day of leisure in this earthly paradise💤 Discover the hidden gem of Guangxi's border town—Daxin Mingshi Pastoral! This is literally a real-life version of Shangri-La, where every snapshot of the landscape looks like a screensaver-worthy masterpiece~ 🌿【Travel Guide】 1️⃣ Bamboo Rafting: A must-try! Drift slowly on bamboo rafts with karst mountains reflected in emerald waters, while boatmen sing folk songs (~1.5hrs; Mingshi River Pier, ¥120/person) 2️⃣ Cycling Route: Rent bikes in the scenic area (¥30/day). Recommended route: Mingshi Bridge → Pastoral Grazing Zone → Fish Scale Dam, passing healing sugarcane fields and rice paddies 3️⃣ Filming Locations: √ Changliu Mountain (from "The Journey of Flower") √ Swordsman Pavilion (from "Legend of Zu") √ Zhuang ethnic rice paddy art (best May-Oct) 🍚【Local Flavors】 ▶ Mingshi Roast Pork: Free-range crispy-skinned pork (try at Mingshi Villa Restaurant) ▶ Bamboo Rice: Steamed with mountain spring water (¥10/tube at roadside stalls) ▶ Suanye: Pickled papaya/mango snacks loved by locals 🏡【Stay Secret】 Highly recommend Zhuang-style homestays! Our pick: "Mingshi Nali" with floor-to-ceiling windows framing landscape views by day and starry skies at night (book 2 weeks ahead for peak season) ❗【Pro Tips】 1. Bamboo rafting may pause during rainy season—check weather 2. SUNSCREEN! UV rays here are stronger than Guilin 3. Best portrait lighting after 4pm 4. Pair with Detian Waterfall (40min drive) for a 2-day trip Slow living amidst Guangxi's poetic landscapes—this is how travel should be done~
