Haokun Lake
浩坤湖
A karst highland lake ringed by mountains in Lingyun County, with emerald water winding between the peaks, and boat trips that reveal stunning scenery, known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou of Guangxi".
Haokun Lake lies in Haokun Village, Lingyun County, Baise City. It is a highland lake formed where an underground river outlet dammed the water between karst peak clusters. Its lake arms wind deep into the mountains, and the water is jade green. Along the shore are Zhuang villages, caves and sinkholes. In recent years it has become popular through aerial photography and short videos, earning the nickname "Little Jiuzhaigou of Guangxi". Tickets must be purchased for the scenic area. From the visitor centre, take a scenic area bus to the pier, then a tour boat or bamboo raft around the lake. The boat route connects the main lake bays and viewpoints, and the whole trip takes about 2–3 hours. The lake is about 1–1.5 hours' drive from Baise city centre. There is no direct public transport, so it is best to drive or hire a car, and you can combine the trip with Lingyun Tea Mountain and Leye Tiankeng. Be careful of falling rocks on mountain roads during the rainy season.
