Tian Shui Zhai Scenic Area

　　The Tian Shui Zhai Tourist Resort is located in Dulun Village, Zhouya Village, Doujiang Town, Sanjiang County, Guangxi, situated in the eastern part of Sanjiang County. Adjacent to National Highway 209, it is 15 kilometers away from downtown Sanjiang and enjoys convenient transportation. It is a national 3A-level tourist attraction.

　　Several major scenic spots and features within the resort include:

　　(1) A Place for Love: The Legend Behind Tian Shui Zhai. Tracing back to the origins of Tian Shui Zhai, there is a beautiful legend. It is said that Chi Wen, the youngest son of the Dragon King, traveled to Yan Yu Pool where he met a fairy-like maiden named Xiao Tao. The two fell in love at first sight, holding hands all the way to Du Xi Pavilion, where they pledged their love. Upon discovering this, the Dragon King became furious and drained the river, causing a severe drought in the area. Feeling powerless to resist, Chi Wen and Xiao Tao embraced and shared a final kiss, turning into stone together. Since then, locals have regarded this place as a sacred site of love. Young people come here to pray for marriage and romance upon reaching the right age, making Tian Shui Zhai a popular destination for matchmaking and dating, and wishing for a love as enduring as that of Chi Wen and Xiao Tao.

　　(2) The convergence of stunning natural scenery, abundant tourism resources, and the unique culture of the Sanjia Dong people gives Tian Shui Zhai endless charm. Along the Tianxi Stream, there are eighteen waterfalls of various sizes, resembling eighteen ascending celestial stairways, lifting visitors’ spirits toward the vast blue sky, and allowing them to experience nature’s gentle gift — an impressive negative ion concentration of up to 8,600 per square centimeter. Near Dulun Village, there is a 2,000-meter fruit corridor, 200 acres of tea plantations, 50 acres of vineyards, and various other fruits for visitors to explore and pick. Guests can also fish or catch fish in ponds, immersing themselves in farm life and enjoying the pleasures of the countryside. The self-drive campsite is located by the Xun River, offering a panoramic view of the river. At the southern end of the fruit corridor lies Tian Shui Farmhouse, which serves wild waterfall fish and eco-friendly organic food, along with a restaurant, barbecue area, and swimming pool. Whether it's spring outings, summer waterfalls, autumn foliage viewing, or winter plum blossom searches, visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of different seasons, listen to the melodious mountain songs, and experience the unique “matchmaking” customs of the Sanjia Dong people throughout the seasonal changes.

　　To preserve and pass on the simple folk customs of the Dong people in Sanjiang, the Tian Shui Zhai Tourist Resort actively promotes its “Matchmaking” tourism brand, helping countless single young people meet their “dream lovers” while enjoying the beauty of nature and outdoor adventures.
