The Xishan Mountain in Guiping is known as "Lin Xiu, Shi Qi, Quangan, Tea Fragrance and Buddha Saint". The peaks are rugged, and there are dozens or even hundreds of cubic meters of boulders, among which there are rugged rocks and winding paths. Stone trees are towering, trees are shaded, and the natural landscape is magnificent. Xishan tea is well-known, fragrant and delicious, and exported to all parts of the country. Quangan has always been praised by the world. In recent years, people have brewed a lot of sweet manna with high-quality milk spring water, such as milk spring wine known as "Maotai in Guangxi" and "Siraitia grosvenorii dew" containing a variety of trace mineral elements beneficial to human body, which is sweet and refreshing. Every summer, there is a bamboo tube beside the milk spring, which passers-by can use to get water to drink, scoop up a tube of spring water and sip it slowly. This is a great pleasure, and it is called a must in the western hills.
Xishan Scenic Area has a long history. It used to be a Buddhist resort, but there are still relatively complete Buddhist buildings and temples, such as Longhua Temple, Gong Li Temple, Xishi Temple, Ruquan Pavilion and Gefei Pavilion. Scholars of all ages left more than 4,000 poems and couplets to appreciate the Western Hills.

Xu Xiake, a famous geographer in Ming Dynasty, once traveled here and wrote the article Travel Notes of Datengxia. In the early Ming Dynasty, a large-scale peasant uprising of Yao nationality broke out in Datengxia. The insurgents have been fighting for nearly 200 years.

When you look up from the bottom of the valley, you can often only see the blue sky. The peaks formed by overlapping rocks are like their huge thousand-layer cakes. Overlooking the mountain from the top of the mountain, I saw the vast jungle, flickering in the vast sea of clouds and changing endlessly. Because of the dense forest and abundant water resources, there are many waterfalls in Dapingshan, and the waterfalls in Xiaopingshan Tianqiao flow downstream, overflowing 100 meters. The sound is like thunder, and the spray is dozens of meters away. The scene is particularly spectacular.

Looking up, you can only see long white clouds. Out of sight, the cliff is a step, and there are more than 70 stone steps carved on the stone wall. This is the interest of brave climbers. Looking back at the peak, pride arises spontaneously. That is, I don't believe in the ascension of the proletariat, revealing dozens of clouds. Transportation: Get off at Guiping Bus Terminal in Madong Town or Mayou Town, and then let the van go to Baishishan.
7. Longtan National Forest Park
Longtan Forest Park is full of mountains, with overlapping peaks, thousands of peaks like a screen, skyscrapers, and rugged rocks. The rolling mountains are like blue dragons flying up and down. The veins of the mountains are clear and rich in layers. Overlooking the mountains, there are clusters in front of us, uneven and constantly extending outward. The highest peak, Daping Peak, is1158m above sea level, with a relative height of 780m. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it presents a majestic momentum of indomitable spirit.
There is a deep valley under the peak, and a secluded pool is beside Tianzhu. There are many canyons here, and narrow canyons meander between peaks. Tourists walk through canyons, suddenly walk through steep and prickly slopes, suddenly set foot in streams, and suddenly sneak in sharp rocks. The sound of the waves and the sound of the stream blend together and reverberate in the humid air. The air is filled with the fragrance of moss and earth for many years, a kind of primitive and natural breath and rich wild interest. In this place far away from the hubbub of Shan Ye, breathing the fresh air, watching the trees everywhere and listening to the chirping of birds, the whole body and mind seem to have been washed clean by nature, melted for it and entered the realm of selflessness.

10, the first ancient pagoda in Guangxi-East Tower
"East Tower" is one of the eight scenic spots in Guiping. The section of Jiang Xun River facing the East Tower is located under Yanglan Beach, and underwater reefs can be seen everywhere. After the confluence of the two rivers in Guizhou and Chongqing, the current was swift, blocked by rocks and stirred up a whirlpool. For miles, the river is choppy, circulating and changing endlessly, making it a spectacle. Therefore, it is called the East Tower.
The East Tower is located in Nan 'an City of Jiang Xun and Wang Xun Town of Guiping City. It is named after the eastern suburb of the city, 4 kilometers away from the city. It is the tallest ancient pagoda in Guangxi. 1963 is listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in the autonomous region.
The East Tower was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It was raised by Liu Wanan, the magistrate of Guiping County, but only two floors were built after Liu Wanan's death. During the Chongzhen period, the nine-story pagoda was built by the magistrate Li Cuoxiong and Ge.
The tower is an octagonal hollow column brick tower with a bottom diameter of12m and a height of 50m. Each floor is decorated with nine double eaves and painted with vermilion. There are 8 ghost corner doors on each floor, of which 2 are real doors and 6 are fake doors. There is a spiral through the wall in the tower, reaching the top floor. There is a copper gourd at the top of the tower, which was originally for "exorcism" and decoration, but actually played the role of a lightning rod. The eight cornices on each floor were originally equipped with bronze bells, 64 of which tinkled in the wind and could be heard for miles. Unfortunately, they no longer exist.

All the murals on the drywall are rich in content and beautifully painted. The murals on foreign buildings have foreign architectural patterns and exotic landscapes, and the floor tiles are carefully selected and polished. It is said that when building a house, each worker is only allowed to grind three bricks a day, which is more or less punished and unpaid, depending on the details. Legend has it that this big house has ninety-nine doors, corresponding to ninety-nine mountains in a large capacity, which means "water is the source, and happiness returns to the hall." There are watchtowers on the east, west and north sides of this big house.
