Scenery around Anping Village
Dongnayuwan is in Anping Village, Leiping Town, Daxin County, and was developed from the former Anping Xianhe Scenic Area. The Heishui River flows through it, with river bends, islands and walking paths. Allow around 3–4 hours.
Riverside walkways pass through stone formations and around waterfalls, subject to the areas open on the day. A visit can include waterside walking, boarding and disembarking boats, and changes in ground level.
Land route or land-and-water visit
The scenic area offers land visits and products that include a boat trip. Routes, prices and transfers depend on the ticket selected. Before buying, ask about the entrance, boarding and disembarkation piers, return arrangements and land areas open that day.
Reference opening hours vary by season: 08:00–17:30 from May 1 to October 8, and 08:00–17:00 from October 9 to April 30. Temporary suspensions and actual last-entry times follow the scenic area's arrangements.

A boat trip through the river bends
From a boat on the Heishui River you can see the karst peaks and islands on both banks. Departures and routes depend on water levels. If you want a water trip, check whether boats are running that day.
Xiake Walkway (霞客栈道) and Longbitan
The Longbitan cascades and Xiake Walkway are highlights of the scenic area. Water flow changes with the weather. The walkway offers views of the water from different heights and can be slippery after rain.
Guantian and the water forest
Guantian Farm, Shuilin Mijing (水林迷境, Water Forest Maze) and Swallow Cave offer farmland, woodland and cave scenery. Choose from the areas open on the day. The Anping area also has remains connected with local tusi history, of interest to visitors curious about the region's past.
Shuilin Mijing has waterside stone formations and bamboo, while Guantian Farm centers on fields. Pohuang Island (婆皇岛) and Pushang Xuchang (瀑上圩场, the market area near the falls) are also listed attractions; use the day's map to see what is open and how to reach each place.
Field names at Guantian Farm are linked to roles in the local tusi system. Anping Old Street also has the remains of a tusi office. Visitors interested in local history can look for explanations within the scenic area.

Build your day
Land-and-water route
Start at Dongnayuwan's Anping Visitor Center to confirm your ticket and boarding point, then take the boat specified by your route into the scenic area. After landing, visit Guantian, Longbitan and Xiake Walkway along the open route, then follow signs to the exit or designated transfer point. Allow around 3–4 hours.
Some products list Guantian Pier, Longbitan, Xiake Walkway and Shuilin Mijing, although operators may change the order. Water and land routes may use different entrances and exits; some include a one-way boat ride, a walk after landing and a return from another pier. Before buying, ask about the complete return journey, the last transfer and the distance from the exit to the parking lot.
Land route only
If time is limited or boats are suspended, ask which areas are accessible with a land ticket that day, then choose from the open paths and viewpoints. Some river sections or islands may require a boat, so walking access to every location is not guaranteed.
Get there
To Anping Visitor Center
Drivers can navigate to “峒那屿湾安平游客中心” and use the designated parking lot. The scenic area has several piers. When arranging a private car with a driver, use the meeting and pickup points for the ticket you bought.
From Chongzuo or Daxin
Look for a tourist shuttle near Chongzuo South Railway Station, drive yourself or book a private car with a driver to Anping Village. If transferring through Daxin County, check connection schedules and stops in advance. Private transfers can also be arranged from Mingshi or Detian, but allow for each transfer separately.
Know before you go
Boat tickets and weather
Land-and-water packages and land tickets include different things. Ask whether your ticket includes the boat and transfers. High water and heavy rain can affect boats and paths; wear a life jacket on board.
Walking and performances
Woodland paths, steps and waterside walkways may be slippery after rain, so wear shoes with good grip. Folk performances and interactive activities have separate schedules and may not always be available. Ask ahead about stroller and wheelchair access.
Food and insects
Local food is available around the scenic area; check menus and prices before ordering. There can be mosquitoes near the woods, so bring repellent and drinking water in summer.
If you would like a local dish, look for sour-and-spicy fish. Summer walks along the river can be sunny, so a sun hat is more dependable than finding shade along the walkway.
