This trip was truly special. We specifically planned to visit China to photograph this site and test out our new drone✨ At the top of a mountain in Mangshi, an abandoned airplane lies still amidst the forest. The entire aircraft is rusted, giving it a raw and edgy look—perfect for photography enthusiasts who love moody, mysterious, yet cool tones. Walking up to the reddish dirt area in front of the airplane, a cool breeze swept by. It was one of those moments where you think, "Am I really standing here?" The forest, the mist, the distant mountains—all combined to create an incredibly powerful scene. Top photo spots: Drone angle capturing the entire plane = absolutely stunning Side view of the airplane = deeply mysterious, like a Martian wreck Standing alone on the dirt field = a lonely vibe that looks beautiful in every shot For those who love abandoned, ruin-style, mysterious vibes—this is a "mood" you must check out at least once in your life. ⏳ Time to explore Spend 1–2 hours for a relaxed photo session Or stay half a day to enjoy the numerous beautiful angles ⚠️ Warnings The airplane is very old, avoid climbing directly onto it Mosquitoes are abundant, bring mosquito repellent The trail up the mountain is winding, be cautious of slippery paths after rain Some areas lack taxi services, keep local contact numbers handy 💸 Costs 🎫 Entrance fee to Huixian Ancient Village: Adults: 50 yuan Children/Discounted tickets: 25 yuan 📍Location Huixian Ancient Village, Mangshi (芒市 回贤古村) A 30-minute drive from the city center Followed by a 20–30 minute hike up the mountain Alternatively, if you see locals driving three-wheelers—wave them down and hitchhike. The locals are incredibly kind 💛

Weather and Clothing: Jingzhou is hot and rainy in summer; prepare quick-dry clothes and spare clothes for the water festival, and take sun protection. Winters are damp and cold, so dress warmly. 2. Itinerary Flexibility: The two-day itinerary is quite full. If you want a more relaxed pace or a deeper Fantawild experience (there are many attractions), consider adding an extra day. 3. Cultural Respect: Please keep quiet and respectful when visiting museums, tombs, and other cultural sites. Jingzhou is a historic city to be savored slowly and a vibrant city full of joy.

Take the kids to explore the karst secret spots along the China-Vietnam border without long-distance travel, and immerse yourself in a picturesque mountain and water scene. Perfect for family and parent-child trips! Here’s a super worry-free family travel guide for Chongzuo—no rushing, no hassle for moms, just easy and fun exploration of the mountain and water secrets with kids! 📣 Travel Tips: First arrive at Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, as a transit city with convenient transportation, great food, and fun activities. Qingxiu Mountain, the zoo, and various night markets are all great places to visit with kids. DAY 1-2 Nanning to Chongzuo Daxin It’s a 2.5-hour drive from Nanning to Daxin.

Take a break in Chongzuo city to try local specialties and visit Taiping Ancient Town and Chongzuo Leaning Tower. Recommended accommodation: Stay amidst the mountains and waters to fully experience the beauty of Chongzuo’s landscape. Open the window with your kids to the view—so healing. Recommended activities: Mingshi Tianyuan, Yulin Dam, Heishui River Wetland Park. Rent a family electric scooter to roam the fields or take a bamboo raft to enjoy the riverside scenery. Show your kids the karst landscape and enjoy a slow countryside pace. DAY 3 Detian Transnational Waterfall Detian Waterfall connects with Vietnam’s Ban Gioc Waterfall, forming one continuous waterfall during the high water season, spanning 208 meters wide—a natural wonder. Let your kids experience the magic of “seeing two countries at once.” It’s recommended to first take a bamboo raft to the base of the waterfall to feel the mist’s power; then hike along the gentle trail to different viewing platforms to admire the waterfall. Teach your kids about cross-border geography while enjoying the spectacular view. Inside the scenic area, the China-Vietnam No. 53 boundary marker and the cross-border street are must-visit spots. Try Vietnamese chicken pho, spring rolls, and other local delicacies with your kids to experience the border culture.
