How to Visit
1

Use it as a Daxin route stop

Dongnayuwan Scenic Area is near Anping Village, Leiping Town, Daxin County, and fits well with Mingshi Rural and Detian Waterfall.

Tip:Its core experience is a water-and-land route: entering the landscape by boat, then walking through the scenic area.
2

Choose the ticket type by route

Land-route adult tickets are commonly CNY 60-80, while full-route package tickets are commonly CNY 135-160. If you want the complete Peach Blossom Land style boat-in route, the full package is more complete.

Tip:If you only want a slow walk and photos, the land ticket can also work.
3

Allow time for both boat and walking

The full route usually includes about 30-40 minutes of boat travel and a land section. The walking route is not very intense overall.

Tip:Some areas have steps and slippery surfaces, so older visitors and children should slow down.
4

Go later in hot weather

After 15:00, the light is softer and the heat is weaker. During holidays, boats, performances, and popular photo spots may have queues.

Tip:Do not make your return plan too tight.
5

Pick the easiest transfer

The drive from central Chongzuo to Dongnayuwan takes about 1-1.5 hours. It is closer from Mingshi Rural.

Tip:Without a car, first check tourist buses from Chongzuo South Railway Station or the tourist distribution center.
Highlights
  • Dongnayuwan's main appeal is the combination of karst scenery, island bays, waterways, and walking paths, not just one photo spot.
  • Entering by boat gives a stronger sense of arrival than walking directly in, especially for a first visit.
  • The land section includes forest paths, waterside views, and folk performances.
  • It has been used as a filming location, which suits travelers who enjoy scenic atmosphere and light photography.
  • It is not far from Mingshi Rural and Detian Waterfall, making it a relaxed half-day stop in the Daxin area.
Insider Tips

✦If you want to save time, choose the land ticket. If it is your first visit and you want the full route, the full package is more suitable.

✦Boat speed, stopping time, and performance schedules affect the experience. Do not expect a long, slow, in-depth cruise.

✦The scenic area has dense vegetation, so mosquitoes are common in summer. Apply repellent in advance.

✦For parking, use the formal lot near the entrance first. During holidays, if villagers offer paid parking, ask the price clearly before stopping.

✦Food and drinks are available inside, but choices are limited. Bring water and simple snacks if traveling with children or older visitors.
