Chongzuo is located in southwestern Guangxi province. It borders Nanning in the east, Baise in the north, Fangchenggang in the south and Vietnam in the west.

The Zuo or Left River and the You or Right River have their confluence in Chongzuo after which the river becomes the Yong River.

Chongzuo is mountainous and hilly with numerous Karst formations similar to Guilin and northern Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay. Its area is 17,345 km², 7,190 km² of which is forested.

Chongzuo has amazing biodiversity with more than 4000 species of plants and more than 450 kinds of animals. There are more than 30 rare and protected animals including white headed and Indo-Chinese black langurs, crested striped horn bills, pangolins, and clouded leopards. 1/4 of China’s wild animal species can be found in Chongzuo. Chongzuo White-headed Langur Eco Park is located on the border line of Luobai Town and Banli Town,southwest Guangxi Province.

It is only 130km away from Nanning City. Covering about 30 square km,the park is one of the key development sceneries of Guangxi. This area abounds in rain and enjoys a pleasant climate. About 1400 kinds of plants are growing here,like Golden Camellia—a kind of rare species to the world. More than 100 kinds of animals are living in the reserve including the unique species to the world—White-headed langur. Now the number of White-headed Langurs is about 600 and is still increasing.

Chongzuo is famous for its beautiful natural scenery. The most famous attraction is Detian Waterfall in Daxing County along the border with Vietnam. It is the second largest waterfall along a national border after Niagara Falls and was one of the crossing points for China’s army during the brief Sino-Vietnamese War. Nearby there is the Tongling Gorge accessible only through a cavern from an adjoining gorge.

Rediscovered only recently, it has many species of endemic plants, found only in the gorge, and used to be used as a hideout by local bandits whose treasure is occasionally still found in the cliff-side caves. West of Chongzuo city, there are several forest and animal preserves, some with minor tourist facilities.
