The highest peak in central-southern Guangxi (main peak Longtou Shan, approx. 1,760 m above sea level), a national nature reserve crossed by the Tropic of Cancer. Highlights: seas of clouds, the waterfall clusters of Olive Grand Canyon, high-mountain meadows and occasional winter rime; summer temperatures are markedly lower than downtown. The mountain is an ancient sandstone landform; records note a local administration was established at its foot in the Ming dynasty, and the Zhuang legend of the ancestral mountain (the story of Tejue) has been passed down for generations. Rich in medicinal plants and dubbed a 'natural medicine storehouse,' it is Nanning residents' summer retreat.
Getting there: Tourist shuttle / self-drive, approx. 1.5 hours
