Exploring Mingshi Scenic Area in Chongzuo, Guangxi: A Dreamlike Realm of Hidden Rural Beauty Located on the western side of Daxin County in Chongzuo, Guangxi, Mingshi Scenic Area is a place that feels like a hidden paradise. It exudes a unique charm and is about an hour's drive from the Detian Waterfall scenic area. Many visitors choose to combine these two attractions for an amazing journey. I. Natural Beauty: A Poetic Landscape of Karst Formations Mingshi Scenic Area is renowned for its distinctive karst topography, where elegant and towering mountains stand like carefully crafted works of art by nature. The flowing water that surrounds the area resembles a lively ribbon, adding grace and vitality to the land. Beyond the stunning scenery where mountains meet water, quaint villages are scattered throughout, and vast farmlands burst with greenery, together creating a picturesque rural landscape. This area is not only a masterpiece of nature but also a favored filming location for production crews. TV dramas like "The Journey of Flower" and movies such as "Flower Good Moon Round" have been filmed here, giving Mingshi Scenic Area an added sense of mystery and romance. II. Various Activities: Enjoying Rural Pleasures Leisurely Bamboo Rafting: Bamboo rafting is a popular way to appreciate the beauty of Mingshi Scenic Area. Visitors can first reach the Zhuang Ethnic Museum at the downstream area, purchase rafting tickets, and then take a shuttle to the rafting starting point. Stepping onto a bamboo raft feels like beginning a wonderful journey through a landscape painting. The entire rafting experience takes about an hour, with thoughtful guides on board explaining the scenery and stories along the way. As the raft gently moves forward, the beautiful mountain peaks reflected in the river water appear dreamlike, with scenery no less impressive than the famous Huangbu reflections in Guilin, making one marvel at nature's craftsmanship. The rafting ends at the Zhuang Ethnic Museum, where various attractions await. The Totem Square is full of mystery, the artificial lake sparkles with light, the Zhuang village showcases rich ethnic customs, the Tusi residence tells stories of history, and the cultural street buzzes with lively atmosphere. Additionally, spectacular Zhuang ethnic song and dance performances are regularly staged, and when night falls, the bonfire party pushes the joyful atmosphere to its peak. Independent Land Tours: For visitors who prefer exploring freely, land tours are a great option. Start by visiting the Zhuang Ethnic Museum to experience the rich Zhuang cultural atmosphere. Afterward, you can rent a bicycle from a local hotel or farmhouse, which comes with a complimentary cycling route map. Along the road beside the scenic area, there are multiple routes to choose from. It's highly recommended to cycle northwest, toward the upstream direction, where you can enjoy karst landscapes and rural scenery similar to what you'd see during bamboo rafting. While cycling, you'll feel the gentle breeze and smell the fragrance of rice paddies, as if time has paused for this beautiful scenery, allowing you to fully enjoy this peaceful and wonderful experience. III. Accommodation and Dining: A Combination of Comfort and Delicious Food Accommodation: Mingshi Scenic Area offers a variety of accommodation options to meet different visitors' needs. Within the scenic area, Mingshi Mountain Villa and Mingshi Courtyard provide elegant environments and complete facilities, allowing visitors to enjoy comfortable rest after a day of exploration. Outside the scenic area, Mingshi Art Hotel, Mingshi Express Hotel, and local farmhouses also offer good accommodation experiences. Visitors can choose freely based on personal preferences and budget. Dining: There is only one restaurant within the scenic area, which serves large portions but at relatively high prices. Outside the scenic area is a food paradise, with many authentic local dishes that will make your mouth water. Here, visitors can taste genuine local specialties and experience the unique flavors of Chongzuo. IV. Exploring the Surroundings: More Excitement Awaits Your Discovery Besides the famous Detian Waterfall, the Fish Scale Dam near the scenic area is also a popular spot. It's not only suitable for water activities but also an excellent location for photography. Many visitors come specifically to capture beautiful moments at the Fish Scale Dam. Mingshi Scenic Area, this hidden gem of rural beauty, attracts every visitor who longs to be close to nature and experience rural charm with its unique karst landforms, diverse activities, rich accommodation and dining options, and exciting surrounding attractions.

⛰️Attraction Introduction The name of Mingshi Pastoral Scenic Area can be directly understood as the pastoral scenery of Mingshi Village. The scenery and activities are very similar to the Ten-Mile Gallery in Yangshuo, Guilin. You can rent a two-wheeled or three-wheeled electric bike and ride along the pastoral path, then take a boat along the Mingshi River to enjoy the scenery on both sides. Objectively speaking, the scenery is not very magnificent or beautiful, but it is a must-see place on the way to Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Area. 📖Attraction Activities Mingshi Pastoral Scenic Area is a formal scenic area with an entrance fee. Visitors who do not ride can also regard it as a destination. (Since we can't ride electric bikes, this is a huge problem for us, and it does cause us a lot of trouble when we go to every scenic area that requires riding.) Drive to "Mingshi Tourism Resort Visitor Center" for navigation. The parking lot is very large. With a bamboo raft ticket, you can register at the visitor center for free parking for 4 hours. Then take the scenic sightseeing electric car to the bamboo raft boarding dock → take the bamboo raft to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Mingshi River → walk around after arriving at the disembarkation dock → after coming out, cross the road to the parking lot opposite to pick up your car. ⭐️Scenic Area Highlights: There is a tour guide on the boat who explains and offers some peanut snacks. There are also folk scenes along the river, and you can trigger NPC performances. The most impressive ones are the mountain that looks like the back of a Buddha and the ant nest on the tree. There is a dish here called ant egg fried egg. After landing, the place with the most people is the round holes on the Nine-Curved Bridge, where you can take pictures of different views from different angles. There is also a stamp photo spot with a score of 80. Unfortunately, after mid-to-late October, the pastoral scenery has actually been cut bald, and the scenery is much inferior. 🏠Accommodation Recommendations Mingshi Nali Hotel, Daxin Mingshi Villa, Mingshi Bieyuan... There is no shortage of good homestay hotels here, but the overall price is much higher than the average price near the scenic spots in Chongzuo. If you have a budget limit, you have to lower your expectations for accommodation conditions here. If you have requirements for accommodation conditions, you must increase your budget.
