Located in Guangxi Province, Jingxi is made up of karst formations and sits on a beautiful plateau. There are a number of streams and rivers which add to the beauty of the area.
The surrounding landscape is the city’s main draw card; however, there are a few sights to see within the city itself. There are historic buildings, traditional houses, ornate temples and a range of local eateries to explore.
However, the most popular sights are without doubt those which can be found in the countryside. The abundance of waterfalls in all shapes and sizes along with the dramatic geography make this a must-visit for anyone who has time and who is into nature. Once home to a bloody territorial war, today Jingxi is one of the most beautiful cities in the region.
The tourist infrastructure is not very developed, which means that accommodation is fairly limited and there are only local restaurants and bars to enjoy. However, if you embrace this, you will find that you have a unique and fascinating trip.
Getting There & Away
The nearest airport is found in Nanning and has daily flights to and from Beijing in just 3 hours. Once in Nanning, there are buses available which will take you to Jingxi and take about 4 hours.
