Day 1 - from Nanning to Detian Falls
My wife and I signed up for a group tour to Guangxi in Dec 2011. It was a 8-day tour starting and ending at Nanning, the capital city.
We did not expect to be chaufferred around for 8 days as there were no other fellow travellers. It turned out to be a very enjoyable trip as the guide, Chen Marn drove us through the rough part of the province to reach the destinations.
After an overnight at Nanning, we were driven up the mountains to visit Detain Falls. The mountain road is long and winding but not very busy. Along the way, the road can get narrower because of the rock fall. we stopped for lunch at a wooden shack where the owner killed a live chicken and cooked for our lunch. The vegetables were freshly picked from the garden. We have to keep warm around the wood fire. A very simple life up in the mountains
