Day 1: Singapore → Nanning
Arrive at Nanning airport. Have dinner and check in to hotel.
Day 2: Nanning → Detian (200km, ~4h ride)
Travel to Detian Waterfall located at China-Vietnam border and admire the view of Mingshi’s countryside along the journey. The waterfall, being the world’s second largest transnational waterfall and largest in Asia, is about 70m high and more than 200m wide. Water flows down from the high and steep cliff, creating a natural multi-layered waterfall. China National Geographic named it the most beautiful waterfall in China. Can also cross the border by foot.
Day 3: Detian → Jingxi (270km, ~3.5h ride)
Head for Tongling Grand Canyon after breakfast. The canyon is 168m high and 30m wide and is Asia’s highest single-layered waterfall. Enjoy the view of the beautiful waterfall-in-the-cave, winding underground stream and rare plant species from the dinosaur era such as sugar palm. The overhanging waterfall resembles white silk dashing down, emitting thunderous sounds and creating white mist. Have a tour around Jingxi’s Xiuqiu Street.

Day 4: Jingxi → Bama (230km, ~5h ride)
After breakfast, travel to China’s longevity village in Bama. Admire the view of the Longevity River (also named as Pan Yang River) on the journey towards Bama. After visiting the village, take a ride on a boat through Yan Shou Tunnel (also named Bai Niao Cave), where Yan Shou means prolonging life. Take a look at the peculiar natural landscape that promotes longevity and admire the view of the refraction of light of the scenery inside the tunnel, creating a dream-like illusion. Head towards in Demons Cave, which is named as “the number 1 cave in the world” by the Royal Cave Society of United Kingdom. It is misty all year round due to the high concentration of negative oxide ions (70,000 atoms per cubic centimeter), hence it is a good place for recuperation. Return to the village and have the local specialty, Longevity Banquet for dinner.
Day 5: Bama → Crystal Palace (44km, ~1.5h ride)
Travel to Longevity Crystal Palace by bus after breakfast. The Crystal Palace Cave is 1000m long, consisting many different rock formations and stalactites. It is definitely a worthy place to visit as it possesses ornamental values and creates an opportunity to widen scientific knowledge. Head down to Fengshan and check in to hotel.
Day 6: Fengshan → Bama
After breakfast, take a half hour ride to tour around Fengshan county and visit the Three Doors Sea (San Men Hai), the world only doline that is accessible by boat. The scenery there is beautiful, with vines twining around towering banyan trees, stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave and the integration of the sky, clouds, mountains and water together as one, making one feel as if one is in a fairyland and reluctant to leave. Travel to Fengshan town and have lunch, then visit Fengshan Karsts Geology Museum, the world’s only museum built in a cave. Know more about the formation of karsts and the different types of minerals. Return to Bama.
Day 7: Bama → Nanning (280km, ~4.5h ride)
Arrive at Nanning in the afternoon and visit Nanning International Convention Centre, where the China-ASEAN Expo was held. This “green city” is a symbolic building in Nanning, built and designed by the architects and engineers from China and Germany. The design of the building was inspired by 2 themes: the joint exhibition of buildings and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (also known as China rose), using skillful techniques to fuse architectural technology and artistic expression together, successfully creating an extremely modern and distinctive landmark. Guangxi is a multiracial district, with more than 30 different minority ethnic groups living together. The Ethnic Heritage Museum was specially built to highlight the rich and colourful folk customs in Guangxi, bringing all the different minorities’ customs together, hence making the museum a unique and historical outdoor exhibition hall.
