Guigang Rail Day

An honest neighbor day — Guigang is a separate prefecture city, about 40 minutes by rail. A hillside temple with Song-era origins; factual visits only, back by evening.

Day 10

Xishan Tea Villages

The tea slopes behind the hill — smallholder plots and a state farm that made the name; tasting is low-key and unhurried.

The Dateng Dam

The modern face of the gorge — a large dam and ship lock on the Qian River finished in recent years, viewed from the public areas downstream of the town.

Longtan, the Quiet Way

A second pass at the park on a weekday, when the falls belong to the birds; different trails, same green.
