Spring is a great time to go out and play, take your family for a walk in the countryside, breathe fresh air, bask in the warm sunshine, and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. So, where are some good places to go hiking around Nanning? Details below.
Beishan
Beishan Mountain, also known as Tulou Mountain. There was once a Tulou Mountain Temple on the mountain, and a temple was built on the site of the old temple, called Bechan Temple. The historical sites of Tulou Mountain include Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, brick pagodas, caves, murals and open-air Buddha statues. Through generations of expansion and renovation, caves have been carved into the cliffs, and “nine caves and eighteen caves” are distributed from west to east. The caves are connected by “sky ladders and stone bridges”, and the Dan cliffs stretch for miles, winding and secluded. Transportation: You can take buses 11, 19, 21, and 10 to Beishan Market Station.
Xishan
Xishan Mountain is located southwest of Xining. Climbing Xishan Mountain, you can see Puning Pearl, a famous landmark in Xining. It is visible from the urban area and is very conspicuous. This is both a TV tower and a place to visit the panoramic view of Xining and dine in a revolving restaurant. Every night, the lights on the tower shine brightly and change, creating a beautiful sight. You can take a taxi from the city to the Puning Pearl, and you can see some panoramic views of the city when you climb the small mountain. There are also paid telescopes at the bottom of the tower, which can be used for a few dollars.
