The bluestone slab bridge surface is polished smooth by time, and the 11 arches reflect on the river like a string of full moons. In the early morning or late afternoon when the light slants, every photo looks like an ancient-style masterpiece, completely free from the noise of commercial tourist spots. - 🛖 Luobo Ancient Street: A century-old street right next to the ferry bridge, well-preserved with blue bricks and wooden buildings. The old noodle shop, handmade bamboo weaving store, and vintage general store at the street entrance still operate as they did in the last century. Spend 5 yuan to buy freshly steamed Wuming glutinous rice, strolling and browsing here feels very authentic. - ⛰️ Qifeng Mountain Scenic Area: Only 20 minutes by car from Luoboduo, known as the "Little Guilin"! The mountain caves and strange rocks are rugged, and the Wenchang Pavilion on the summit overlooks the Wuming Basin. The pond at the foot of the mountain is full of withered lotus in autumn, accompanied by the ancient temple bell sounds, creating a very Zen atmosphere. Other Unmissable Attractions - 🏯 Peigui Village Ancient Residences: A hidden Ming and Qing dynasty ancient village in the countryside, with contiguous blue brick and black tile courtyards, carved window lattices, and stone door lintels well preserved. Almost no tourists visit, allowing a quiet experience of the ancient residences’ time accumulation. - 🎋 Xiangshan Riverbank: The river section under Luoboduo Bridge has clear water, with reeds growing along the shore, naturally filtering the view. It’s perfect for bringing a picnic cloth, listening to the flowing water, watching villagers wash clothes and vegetables, and enjoying a slow-paced time. 💡 Holiday Travel Tips - Accommodation around Luoboduo Bridge is limited; it is recommended to stay in Wuming town, where there are more options and better value. Self-driving is more convenient for round trips. - Must-try local foods: Crispy dog meat at Luobo Market (Note: consumption requires confirming legal sourcing), Wuming lemon duck, and sweet rice wine dumplings on the old street. - The ancient bridge and street mostly have bluestone slab roads, so comfortable flat shoes are recommended; bring mosquito repellent for hiking Qifeng Mountain. This millennium-old ferry bridge hidden in the northern suburbs of Nanning lacks the bustle of popular tourist spots but offers the most touching local life and time. If you don’t want to squeeze into crowded attractions during the holiday, come to Wuming Luoboduo for a slow time date～
