Jianjiang Scenic Area

Jianjiang Scenic Area

The Jianjiang Scenic Area is located in the Jianjiang area of Huaiqun Township, about 35 kilometers from Luocheng County in Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Guangxi’s Luocheng County is the only “Hometown of Wild Vitis Quinquangularis” in China and the only autonomous county of the Mulao ethnic group. The local area is developing into the largest “Wild Wine City” in the nation. The spectacular “Hundred-Mile Grape Corridor” within the county is a rare and beautiful sight. Here, rugged peaks rise up, clear blue waters flow gently, and scenic beauty can be found everywhere. The ten-mile picturesque stretch of Jianjiang is “not Guilin, but even more beautiful than Guilin.”

The mountains on both sides of Jianjiang are uniquely shaped and take on a myriad of postures. Some mountains are massive, exuding a majestic aura; others have sharp peaks that seem to pierce the sky. Some resemble a peacock spreading its tail, others look like roaring lions or tigers, some are like mandarin ducks playing in the water, and others resemble the passionate song goddess Liu Sanjie. Each form is vivid, lifelike, and true to life. Jianjiang River flows gently, its waters clear and azure, with white pebbles at the bottom clearly visible. Occasionally, half of a sandy beach emerges from the river, its sand fine and snow-white. The mountains stand densely packed like a forest, varied and uniquely shaped, remarkably lifelike and expressive. In the valleys, bamboo and trees grow lush, covering the sky and creating a serene, tranquil atmosphere. On the riverbanks, green bamboo provides shade, and ancient banyan trees tower above. Sitting under the dense foliage of the phoenix-tail bamboo and looking around, you see the murmuring river, endless white clouds on the horizon, and thin columns of smoke rising straight up from the shore—like a beautiful painting. The tall waterfalls such as the Cailong Waterfall, Qexing Waterfall, Yaoh River Waterfall, and Kencai Waterfall, some reaching dozens of meters in height, cascade down like silver rivers from the heavens, roaring and thundering, shaking the valleys with their powerful momentum, magnificent and spectacular. The Lata Cave is strange and colorful. In one canyon, there is a natural stone bridge spanning overhead, forming an archway about 50 meters high and 30 meters wide, grand and imposing. The bridge is covered with ancient trees with twisted roots and lush green leaves. Hanging beneath the bridge are countless “viviparous plants” in various shapes and indescribable forms. At the base of the arch, a small river flows quietly. Peering through the arch, you see layers of mountains and clouds fading into the distance. On the riverbank, ancient waterwheels turn slowly. Halfway up the mountain, nestled in the shade of greenery, bamboo houses can be faintly seen, with wisps of cooking smoke rising—everywhere exuding a rich rural charm.
