Before the journey

A few things
to keep in mind.

This is an edited planning outline. Its day sequence and main stops carry into the planner, where you can change them. Transport times, admission and prices are not live quotations.

01 / Moving between places

The way there

Arrange the outward and return road transfers before leaving Nanning.
Base yourself in the Mingshi or Daxin area for the middle nights; do not treat all of Chongzuo as one compact sightseeing district.

02 / Before you set off

Arrange these first

Confirm the exact Detian ticket, entry arrangements and included local transport.
Check your accommodation’s location against the planned pickup point.
Keep your onward train or flight separate from an uncertain road arrival.

03 / A little flexibility

Make a different day

For a shorter trip, keep Mingshi and Detian and skip extra stops.
Add a separate day for Huashan rock art only after confirming its visitor arrangements; it is not included here.

04 / Your travel dates

Build your budget

Price accommodation, intercity transport, local transfers, tickets and meals separately for your dates. Optional activities and onward journeys need their own allowance.
