Daliang Shimen Xianhu Scenic Area

　　The Shimen Xianhu Scenic Area in Rong’an, Guangxi, is situated along National Highway 209, 70 kilometers from Liuzhou City and 50 kilometers from Rong’an County. It boasts a highly advantageous location at the center of the northern Guangxi tourism circle, which includes Liuzhou, Liucheng, Rongshui, and Sanjiang. It is also one of the must-visit spots on various premium travel routes. The scenic area is just a 1.5-hour drive from Liuzhou, offering very convenient transportation.

　　Covering an area of over 7,000 acres, the scenic area consists of 2,900 acres of land and more than 4,000 acres of water surface in the Shimen Reservoir. The land area has well-preserved vegetation, with a lush coverage rate of up to 96%, naturally nurturing a diverse range of flora and fauna: including dendrobium, ganoderma, red fortune plants, and even the extremely rare Hainan blue-crested goshawk, known as one of the world’s most mysterious birds. The silver fish, one of China’s four famous fish species that thrives only in exceptionally clean water, is a specialty of the Shimen Reservoir and a must-order dish for visitors dining at the scenic area.

　　The scenic area features majestic and beautiful mountains. Over millions of years of erosion by underground rivers, it has developed unique geological formations: the Upper, Middle, and Lower Heavenly Bridges (historical sites where the Taiping Rebellion general Shi Dakai stationed his troops), which form a single mountain pierced by three caves; the underground river connecting the Upper, Middle, and Lower sinkholes; the Lǐyán Cave (an ancient cave-dwelling site—Qingliu Tuanzhai), dubbed “the king of karst caves”; the world wonder Doggie Long Spring (a periodic geyser); and the naturally formed Tianmen Cave with its gate-like arch. Ancient cliff inscriptions (designated as key protected cultural relics by Rong’an County), the ruins of the Nánfēng Academy, and the historical site where Shi Dakai stationed troops during the Taiping Rebellion all enrich the scenic area with profound cultural heritage.

　　Since its establishment in November 2008, the Shimen Xianhu Scenic Area in Rong’an, Guangxi, has been planned and constructed according to the national AAAA-level scenic area standards under the guidance and support of relevant departments and experts. After years of effort, the scenic area was awarded the title of National AAAA-Level Tourist Attraction in September 2013. It also successfully passed the evaluation and acceptance for the China Rural Tourism ★★★★ Star-Rated Rural Tourism Zone.

　　The scenic area offers comprehensive facilities for dining, accommodation (including camping tents), sightseeing, entertainment, and shopping. We welcome you with the most beautiful environment and the best service.
